Orlando Sacred Ayahuasca Retreat with Arkawa
With JC Arkawa
September 11 - 13, 2026
$997 | 3 Days, 2 Nights | Orlando, FL
You are invited into a sacred 3-day, 2-night immersion at Pachamama Sanctuary in Orlando, where you’ll step away from the rhythm of daily life and into a grounded space for healing, reflection, and spiritual connection. Guided with care by our experienced Medicine Carrier, Arkawa, this retreat offers a powerful opportunity to reconnect with yourself in a safe and intentional setting.
Whether you’re seeking emotional release, clarity, or a deeper sense of purpose, this experience is designed to support meaningful inner transformation at your own pace, within a held and compassionate container.
A highlight of our Orlando retreats is the Saturday outdoor ceremony. Gathered beneath the open sky in the warm Florida night, surrounded by nature and firelight, participants often experience a deeper sense of presence, grounding, and connection—to the medicine, to Pachamama, and to themselves.
Your Retreat Experience
Two Sacred Ceremonies with Arkawa
At the heart of the weekend are two ayahuasca ceremonies guided by Arkawa. With deep experience and steady presence, he holds a safe and supportive space for emotional release, insight, and spiritual unfolding throughout each ceremony.
Daytime Integration Practices
Between ceremonies, you’ll be supported with meditation, breathwork, and group sharing circles—helping you process your experience and prepare for the next stage of your journey.
Nourishing, Intentional Meals
All meals are included and prepared in alignment with traditional ayahuasca dieta guidelines, supporting your body throughout the retreat process.
Simple, Supportive Accommodations
Your space is intentionally minimal and peaceful, designed for rest and inward focus. Each guest receives a memory foam mattress, pillow, and blanket, creating a personal sanctuary for both ceremony and sleep.
For those desiring more privacy, semi-private shared rooms with bunk beds are available, offering a quiet and comfortable space for reflection between ceremonies.
Continued Integration Support
Healing doesn’t end when the retreat closes. Pachamama Sanctuary offers unlimited online integration circles, available whenever you feel called—days, weeks, or even months later—to support your ongoing process of reflection and integration.
A Safe and Held Container
Your well-being is at the center of everything we do. Each participant completes a pre-retreat screening, and our experienced team holds a grounded, respectful, and supportive environment from arrival through closing circle.
A Small, Connected Community
Our retreats are intentionally intimate, creating space for genuine connection and shared experience. Many arrive alone and leave feeling deeply seen and connected to a like-hearted community.
Whether this is your first time working with ayahuasca or part of your continued path, you are welcome here—just as you are.
