Song. Attention.
Time for yourself.
Listening can offer a meaningful encounter with Shipibo ceremonial practice: time to hear the songs, learn from your hosts and reflect on your own experience.
You do not need to drink ayahuasca now or plan to drink it later. Tell the team your preference before booking.
Ask about attending without drinking ↗What stays the same?
Your chosen package, retreat schedule, accommodation and meals follow the normal arrangements. Pickup, return transport and whether their costs are included are confirmed in your written booking plan. You attend the ceremonies without drinking ayahuasca. This is not a separate short listening session.
What are icaros?
Icaros are songs used in Amazonian ceremonial traditions. Ask Diomar López Silvano or Antonio Vasquez Galaretta about the role of song in their own practice.
Discuss your participation
Complete the health questionnaire for shaman review and discuss any proposed plant baths or other practices. Share your preferences about touch, smoke and personal space.
A personal experience
Listening can be valuable for cultural learning and personal reflection. We do not promise a medical outcome or claim that listening has the same effects as drinking ayahuasca.
