Pachamama Sanctuary, Arkawa

The experience was better than I expected. Derek does not gratuitously adorn his guidance over integration, breath work, dieta, etc. with esoteric mysticism; he bases his advice on direct empirical experience. As a result, his guidance through integration is as gentle and direct as a formally trained psychotherapist or...

About the Orlando Sanctuary

A Photo of one accommodations suits at Pachamama Sanctuary

Pachamama Sanctuary is a federally recognized religious church that has been holding ayahuasca ceremonies since 2019. Our Orlando location brings this tradition to Central Florida for the first time, offering weekend retreats for seekers from Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, and across the Southeast.

The Orlando sanctuary is a private, secluded space approximately 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport. The physical address is provided to registered guests to preserve the sanctuary’s privacy and the integrity of the ceremonial container.

Our retreats in Orlando follow the same structure that has guided our community in Maine for years: two ayahuasca ceremonies across a Friday-to-Sunday weekend, shared meals prepared to support your body through the dieta, breathwork and integration practices, and a facilitation team that stays present with you from arrival to departure.

This is not a clinical experience or a wellness trend. It is a genuine ceremonial practice held within a religious framework that carries legal protection, ethical responsibility, and deep respect for the Amazonian traditions from which ayahuasca comes.

What to Expect at Our Orlando Retreat

Arrival on Friday evening is an unhurried welcome. You’ll share a meal with the group, meet the facilitators, and settle into the orientation circle time to ask questions, name your intentions, and feel the ground beneath you before ceremony begins.

The first ceremony opens Friday night. You’ll rest on a prepared ceremonial mattress in a private room designed for the work warm light, live medicine music, and a facilitation team whose only job that night is to hold the space for your journey.

Saturday offers time to rest, reflect, and receive. There’s breathwork in the morning, gentle meals throughout the day, and space for quiet or for sharing in circle. The second ceremony takes place Saturday evening.

Sunday morning is devoted to integration speaking openly about what arose, receiving guidance on carrying your insights home, and closing the weekend in ceremony together. Departure is unhurried.

Our team is with you for the entire weekend.

The Orlando Space

Our Orlando sanctuary is designed with one purpose: to hold you safely while you do the deepest work. The ceremonial space is acoustically suited for live music, with natural light during the day and a contained, private atmosphere at night. Each participant is provided a comfortable ceremonial mattress with clean linens, a blanket, and a pillow. Private and semi-private overnight rooms are available for rest between ceremonies. Meals are prepared in-house to support your dieta and nourish your body.

Is ayahuasca legal in Orlando, Florida at Pachamama Sanctuary?

Within Pachamama Sanctuary’s Orlando location, yes. We operate as a federally recognized religious organization protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). Our sacramental use of ayahuasca is held as sincere religious practice — a legal status we carry with deep seriousness and ethical care.

Every participant completes a thorough medical and psychological intake before attending. Our medical guidelines exist to protect both the individual and the integrity of the ceremonial space. Participants taking certain medications or with specific health histories may be asked to wait, and we make that determination with care — not as a barrier, but as part of how we hold safety.

Our facilitators are trained in ceremonial protocol, experienced across hundreds of ceremonies, and grounded in lineages that take this work seriously. Integration support continues after you leave Orlando — because what opens in ceremony needs time, community, and reflection to land.
