Choosing to Heal
Spirit Vine retreats are designed for people who feel genuinely called to personal growth, emotional responsibility, and conscious self-exploration. Our application process exists not to judge or exclude, but to ensure that each retreat remains a safe, supportive, and aligned environment for everyone involved.
Our Process
Our retreats are intentionally small and carefully held. The journey typically unfolds as follows:
-
Apply To Attend
Complete the application above with honesty and care. This helps us understand where you are in your journey and whether Spirit Vine is a supportive fit at this time. -
Personal Interview
If your application feels aligned, you’ll be invited to a conversation with lead facilitator, Silvia. This is a space to ask questions, clarify intentions, and ensure mutual readiness. -
Confirmation & Payment
Once accepted, you’ll receive next steps regarding reserving your bungalow and sending the payment. -
Preparation
Begin preparing physically, emotionally, and energetically. -
Travel Planning
We’ll support you with guidance on booking your trip. -
Arriving at Spirit Vine
Retreat days include guided workshops, ceremonies, movement, rest, and reflective practices. -
Group Sharing & Reflection
Integration is supported through facilitated sharing circles and one-on-one sessions as needed. -
Integration Support
After the retreat, integration resources and optional virtual sessions are available to help you bring insights into daily life.
If You’re Not Sure Yet
If you’re feeling curious but uncertain, that’s okay. You may find it supportive to:
- Explore our blog where we share reflections, preparation guidance, and integration insights
- Sign up for our newsletter to receive thoughtful resources and updates
- Begin your own reflective practices—journaling, meditation, therapy, or creative expression
Healing is not a race. What matters most is choosing paths that honor your wellbeing, readiness, and integrity.

Honoring The Roots of the Medicine
We recognize ayahuasca as a gift from the forest and its guardians, understanding that the vine itself is a living teacher.
At Spirit Vine, we honor and respect the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon who have been practicing this tradition for centuries. Our ceremonies are guided in partnership with trained Shipibo healers, who carry songs (icaros), prayers, and practices into each brew.
