Our Retreat

Who are we and what is the RA Initiative about ?
We are building something rather more than the usual Ayahuasca and Wellness Retreat though aspects of the Initiative are very much about that.
There will be a mix of short and long term visitors and some who will have a second home and others who will be doing their PhD theses.
We are committed to providing an environment, facilities and programs to help people to become healthy, happy and useful for themselves, others and the ecosphere in the following ways :-
Ayahuasca Ceremonies
To aid in spiritual development for small groups or individuals nd also to deal with addictions.
Health and Wellbeing
We all have the genetic information to attain full health from almost any disease if we allow ourselves to utilise our inherent reparative mechanisms.
We use the principle of synergy to bring together different mutually supportive health creating modalities.
The site is designed to harmonise ambient and internal energies to work together to help you heal yourself of whatever ails your mind, body and spirit.
Food and drink are fundamental - You will drink naturally energised water from rain (sky) and aquifer (earth), combined with pure naturally grown food as part of a personalised diet.
The geometry of the dwellings are designed to provide beneficial energies and the whole look and feel of the place is beautiful.
Fitness - Yoga, swimming and trekking.
Education
Both visitors and local knowledge keepers can learn from each other depending on their education and life experience. The atmosphere is conducive to teach and learn from each other.
We also aim in future to collaborate with the local school to show the children the medicinal plants and some of the artefacts built by their ancestors. So many of the youth in the region have been infected with awful TV programs which has led to delinquency and a lack of appreciation of their history and amazing ancestral knowledge.
Self sufficiency in most food, water, natural medicines, energy , and the majority of construction materials.
Research
A perfect location for scientists in fields such as - ecology, etymology, ornithology, human geography, anthropology, sustainable agriculture/food forests etc.
Farming
We have two fish farms. Multiple Chacras (traditional small fields for growing edible plants).
Regenerative - with particular emphasis on soil improvement (bathrooms have humanure dry toilets).
Rare plants
Any rare plants are found and cultivated, particularly wild varieties of commercial food plants like Cacao.
Bird watching
We have several very rare species of birds and plans to build some hides in 2026.
Logging & hunting are not allowed.
