RECLAIM YOUR LIGHT RETREATS
11 Day Ultimate Experience
Reclaim Your Light in the Heart of the Amazon
Deep in Peru’s sacred rainforest lies a place of renewal, where ancient wisdom meets modern healing. The Reclaim Your Light Retreat invites you to step away from the noise of life and return to your true self.
Guided by Dr. Rachel Sims, Co-Owner of Breath By Design, Licensed Therapist, 9D Breathwork Facilitator, and holistic healer. This immersive experience weaves together sacred plant medicine, therapeutic integration, and powerful breathwork to create a safe and authentic space for transformation.
Protected and guided in traditional, ethical, and authentic Ayahuasca ceremonies led by the Shipibo tribe at Arkana Spiritual Center. You are supported by sacred medicines such as Huachuma, 5-MeO-DMT, and Rapé, you’ll be guided on a journey of profound inner healing. Beyond ceremony, breathtaking excursions to Machu Picchu and the Amazon’s natural wonders deepen your reconnection with self, spirit, and the Earth.

TWO LOCATIONS,
ONE TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE
Amazon Jungle Retreat
An Authentic Amazonian Sanctuary
Step into the heart of Peru’s Amazon jungle, where healing begins in the most authentic setting imaginable. Here, you’ll be guided by +4 Shipibo shamans in each ceremony, honoring the traditions of the Shipibo people through four powerful Ayahuasca ceremonies. Each guest receives personal intention-setting and integration support with Dr. Rachel Sims, ensuring your journey is both sacred and supported.
Your stay balances the raw beauty of the jungle with comfort and care. Accommodations are rustic yet refined, offering restful spaces. Every meal is farm-to-table cuisine, prepared by a private chef to nourish your body as deeply as the ceremonies nurture your spirit.
The Amazon itself becomes part of your healing, explore its wonders on guided excursions, from spotting pink dolphins, monkeys, and sloths, to walking beneath the towering canopy, learning about medicinal plants, and boating under star-filled skies. Between ceremonies, restore your body and mind with yoga, sound healing, and quiet moments by the pool.
This retreat is more than a visit, it’s an immersion into the sacred Amazon, blending authenticity, comfort, and the profound magic of nature.
Sacred Valley Retreat
Sacred Valley: Healing with Comfort & Balance
For those who desire profound transformation without the intensity of the jungle, the Sacred Valley retreat offers a more grounded and comfortable path to healing. Nestled in the breathtaking Andes at the Arkana Spiritual Center, this location combines the wisdom of shamanic traditions with the ease of modern comforts, including Hot showers, heating, and air conditioning, so you can focus fully on your journey in comfort.
Here, guests experience 2-3 Shipibo shamans, 3 ayahuasca ceremonies, and 1 Huachuca ceremony, complemented by yoga, 9D breathwork, meditation, and integration workshops led by Dr. Rachel Sims. The pace allows for deep inner work while also leaving space for rest and reflection.
Beyond ceremony, you’ll explore the magic of the Andes, Machu Picchu with full entry, private guide, and train transport included, along with visits to villages like Maras, Pisac, and Ollantaytambo. Days are nourished with wholesome meals, spa treatments, and the tranquility of mountain views, creating a retreat that balances authentic healing with restorative comfort.
The Sacred Valley retreat is ideal if you’re seeking depth, connection, and transformation in a setting that holds you with both sacred tradition and modern ease.
RETREAT OPTIONS
Three Paths, One Purpose
Your healing journey can unfold in different ways, each retreat location offers its own unique setting, rhythm, and depth.
In the Amazon Jungle, you’ll be immersed in the raw, authentic heart of shamanic tradition, surrounded by untouched nature.
In the Sacred Valley of the Andes, you’ll experience the same sacred medicines and teachings in a more grounded, comfortable environment, held by mountain vistas and modern amenities.
Or the combination of both locations! Both paths include ceremonies with Master Shipibo Shamans, nourishing meals, 9D breathwork, yoga and meditation, integration workshops, and meaningful excursions, yet each offers its own atmosphere and energy to support your transformation.
