What is a retreat and what is it for?
In a retreat, protocols of Traditional Andean-Amazonian Medicine (MTAAZ) are carried out along with complementary techniques.
During the retreat, between 2 and 4 MTAAZ ceremonies take place with the Ayahuasca plant, as well as cleansing and unblocking techniques, medicinal baths and personal interviews before and after the ceremonies. During the interviews, the goals for the retreat are set so that all the therapeutic resources available can be aimed at meeting these goals.
Each retreat lasts between 5 to 7 days, although the total duration is confirmed during the initial interview.
