REGISTRATION
Participants will first elect which of our programs is the right fit for them. We offer 9, 11, and 13-day experiences at our jungle facility outside of Iquitos, Peru. Once you find your date you will fill out a registration form, make a deposit, and read through the confirmation email for more information on what's next.
HEALTH SCREENING
After you register, you will receive a confirmation email that directs you to our health form. Once you fill that out, you will hear from us within 48 hours!
WELCOME PACKET
Once your health form is approved we provide you with a welcome packet that includes detailed information on anything related to traveling to Iquitos (flights, hotels, restaurants, money exchange, local culture, activities, etc.).
We also provide you with a preparation guide that will help get you oriented to the medicine experience. This includes dietary guidelines, medical requirements, and recommended preparation activities.
Our direct contact information is provided for any questions or concerns that come up as you get ready for the trip. For more involved preparation, our team of facilitators offers preparation sessions.
FINAL PREP
One week before your retreat start date we will send an email that includes final travel details, logistics, a confirmation of our meeting time and location, as well as any other necessary information to help make your trip as smooth as possible.
FIRST DAY
We meet at our designated location in Iquitos, Peru. Casa Del Maestro team members will be awaiting your arrival. Spend some time getting to know your fellow participants while we check everyone in and get ready to go. We will first take a bus to a local port and then board the boat for the last leg of the journey before arriving to the Casa!
ARRIVAL
We will settle into our rooms, check the place out, have an orientation meeting, and then our first group dinner.
MEDICINE PREP
Today is all about getting oriented towards the medicine experience. We spend as much time as we need going over the process, familiarizing everyone with how ceremonies and our plant medicine process works, as well as answering any questions. We will prepare some of the plants that afternoon and take time to get ready for the first ceremony.
