With Nico and Leydi Johanka Ramirez Lopez
September 18 - 20, 2026
$947 | 3 Days, 2 Nights | Maine
We warmly welcome you into this sacred 3-day, 2-night immersion at Pachamama Sanctuary’s Ayahuasca Retreat outside of Portland, Maine. Guided by our experienced Medicine Carriers, Nico and Johana, this weekend is designed as a deeply supported space for healing, reflection, and inner transformation.
Everything is intentionally included—accommodations, meals, and ceremonial support—so you can fully step away from daily distractions and turn inward with clarity and intention.
Over the course of the weekend, you will sit in two powerful ayahuasca ceremonies on Friday and Saturday, held within a grounded and respectful container. Between ceremonies, you will be supported with practices such as breathwork, yoga, meditation, integration circles, and music to help you process, release, and deepen your experience.
We close the retreat on Sunday morning with breakfast and a final group gathering before departure, offering space to reflect, connect, and return home with a sense of clarity and renewal.
To support your continued journey, Pachamama Sanctuary offers unlimited online integration circles at no additional cost. You are welcome to join whenever you feel called—whether days, weeks, or months after your retreat—as you continue integrating your experience into everyday life.
We are honored to hold this space for you and grateful to support you on your path of healing and awakening.

Leaders
Nico’s path with Ayahuasca began 16 years ago through an apprenticeship under Taita Florentino Agreda, from Putumayo Colombia. These first few years of regular ceremonies were a powerful initiation, which brought a lot of clarity and established a deep relationship with this medicine. With Taita Florentino Nico has traveled throughout Colombia, assisting in ceremonies, playing medicine music, and eventually learning from Taitas of other traditions. Some names include Taita Isaias Munos Macanilla (Kitchwas community from the Amazon), Taita Querubin Queta (Cofan), Taita Leonel Tascon (Embera), to list a few. Another profound experience during these years of exploration and healing was living with the indigenous Kogi people in the town of Sebiaca, in Sierra Nevada, Colombia where Nico taught and played music with the children of the community.
