Profound insights that shift your perspective on life, your relationships, and your purpose.

Recognise and dissolve the limiting beliefs that no longer serve you, opening the path to authentic living.
Feel connected to yourself, to nature, and to the universe, and find inner peace and harmony.
We don't guide from a distance. We drink alongside you and become part of your journey, supporting you with the healing power of our icaros, the sacred songs of the tradition.
We stand for the plants and for our own presence, wisdom, and unwavering support throughout your experience.
Before we begin, we speak with you to understand your intentions, confirm your preparation, and make sure you are ready. On the evening itself, the journey unfolds in three movements.
Your ceremony begins in the evening with a calming guided meditation, helping you centre yourself and connect fully with the moment.
We bless and cleanse your energy field before drinking the sacred plant together, so we can align and guide you through what follows.
Through ancestral songs, the icaros, we guide your energy and help you connect with the teachings of the plants. This is where profound insight and healing arrive.
During the ceremonies, natural plants are brought together in a careful, intentional way. Their power unfolds only when balanced with intention and guided by icaros. This is not something to use at home. Its meaning lives inside the ceremonial context, held by silence, song, breath, and a pure heart.
These plants are used exclusively within a ceremonial context. They are not offered as medicine and are not for sale. Their power is experienced in combination with meditation, silence, a pure diet, and guidance through intention and sacred song.
The days before matter as much as the ceremony itself. Prepare your mind and spirit, and give the plants clear ground to work with.
Avoid physical contact to preserve your energy, keep your intentions clear, and support deeper healing and self-connection. In the five days prior, step back from noise, conflict, and anything that unsettles you.
Have confidence in the process. Be calm and present. If challenges arise, they are temporary, and you will soon feel balanced again. Tomorrow, you will feel reborn and more connected than ever before.
A short moment from a Plantaya ceremony, so you can feel the atmosphere before you arrive.
We honour both the wisdom of the ritual and what science is learning about how nature supports the body and mind.
Alkaloids are naturally occurring plant compounds that can influence our neurological and physiological systems. They act like keys, supporting the body’s own ability to restore balance and emotional wellbeing.
Flavonoids are known for their antioxidant properties. They help the body manage oxidative stress and inflammation, and support cellular health, immunity, and longevity.
The vibrations of song and chant can influence brain waves, inviting relaxation, awareness, and emotional release.
A focused intention aligns mind and body, creating fertile ground for transformation.
Immersion in nature activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and allowing deeper states of healing.

From the moment I entered the space, I could feel the energy of love and care. In so many centres across Europe it is hard to find real shamans who carry the traditions of the Amazon, but here it felt like I was transported into the heart of the jungle. Not just a ceremony, a deeply healing journey.
The most fruitful coaching session of my life and the best evocation of paradise, over eight hours, combined. Eight hours on end I was fully awake, aware, and sharp. Nothing should ever be the same. Your integrity and professionalism are world-class.
I descended to the very core of my being and found there so much beauty, healing, and insight. A life-changing experience that permanently changed how I see life. I felt carried, heard, and seen, from the preparation all the way through the ceremony itself.
My deep gratitude goes to the team at Plantaya, who guided me through my first experience with the plant medicine. From the very first contact I felt carried and seen, received into their loving energy. The ceremony itself is almost beyond words.
Some people you don’t simply cross paths with. The support, the warmth, the friend who walks beside you on the path gave me the safety I needed. For anyone searching for their inner self and more meaning in life, Plantaya is the place to be.
The keyword of the ceremony was surrender, one of the hardest things in my life. The plants did their work, and it worked. Doing this together with my wife, we came away with an even deeper connection. A real recommendation for open-minded people.
I felt carried, guided, protected. The icaros brought me inward, to my heart, where I could be who I am. A deep grief I carried came up and I was able to release it in beauty and acceptance. A great heaviness lifted from my heart.
The ceremony with Plantaya was a beautiful experience. They work with such softness, attention, and devotion, and you feel that everything comes straight from the heart. The icaros were truly enchanting. Two beautiful souls who embody this work with purity and strength.

Since childhood we knew there was more to this world than what we could see or touch.
Our grandparents’ stories about the healing power of plants set us on a path that led, in time, to a small village in the Peruvian selva, where we learned from shamans and connected deeply with the teachings of the sacred plants.
Those lessons transformed our lives. Now we feel called to share them, close to your home, with the same depth of connection, and with respect, understanding, and attentive care for each person who feels the call.
As we heal ourselves, we heal each other. As we heal each other, we heal the world.
