@sacredrebelsrecovery (instagram)
We are a collective of like minded individuals who have overcome lifelong battles with problematic substance use, mental health difficulties and post traumatic stress disorder.
We are people with lived experience as drug users who have found freedom from active addiction & sought refuge in personalized holistic recovery models that incorporate teachings from various traditions.
THE CENTER
Our tranquil facility
Nestled in the lush Peruvian rainforest, a stone’s throw from the Nanay River, our beautiful permaculture & recovery center is designed to unify our visitors with the earth, the plants, and the self while collaborating with Maestro Ricardo Amaringo & Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual
Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual is the ayahuasca healing center owned by the master healer Ricardo Amaringo, co-founded with Dr. Joe Tafur, family physician and the visionary artist Cvita Mamic.
The center is located one hour south of the Iquitos airport, along the Rio Nanay, an affluent of the Amazon river, in a quiet and lush part of the Amazon jungle in Perú, South America.

Holistic Recovery Program
Holistic recovery at Sacred Rebels Recovery embraces a comprehensive approach to treating addiction, emphasizing the whole person rather than just addressing the symptoms. This treatment incorporates traditional substance abuse therapies alongside a variety of experiential methods, grounded in the belief that addiction affects individuals physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Here's a simplified overview:
1. **Open-Minded Approach**: Utilizes plant medicines, including ayahuasca, within a harm reduction model that emphasizes informed choice, safety, and professional guidance.
2. **What It Is**: A journey focused on balancing and relieving spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional issues through a person-centered approach, treating the entire person.
3. **Why It Matters**: Holistic treatment is scientifically supported as the best approach to addiction recovery. It combines traditional Amazonian plant medicine healing within the Shipibo tradition with modern therapies for a comprehensive treatment model.
4. **Program Introduction**: Begins with a 7-day period to adapt to the new environment and decide on the most suitable recovery program, including preparation for ceremonies and detoxification processes.
5. **Holistic Care Components**:
- **Physical Healing**: Addresses addiction's physical symptoms and overall health through yoga, fitness, outdoor activities, and a balanced diet.
- **Emotional Healing**: Uses therapies and exercises to manage emotions effectively, crucial for coping with past trauma and emotional disorders.
- **Spiritual Healing & Integration**: Revives spiritual connections through meditation, art, support groups, and mindfulness, distinguishing between spirituality and religiosity.
- **Dual-Diagnosis Support**: Provides education and tools for those with co-occurring disorders, recognizing the interconnectedness of addiction with mental health issues.
6. **Long-Term Recovery Plan**: Assists in creating structured plans for integrating back into society post-treatment, with ongoing community and professional support to ensure long-term recovery.
7. **Community & Support**: Offers a nurturing environment supported by experienced staff and a recovery community, encouraging those with a history of substance use and ayahuasca experience to contribute to a collective healing journey.
Sacred Rebels Recovery's holistic program is designed to offer a deeply personal and immersive recovery experience, ensuring each participant receives tailored care that addresses all aspects of their being.Holistic Recovery Program

Permaculture Program in Iquitos, Peru
OUR ECOSYSTEM
At Sacred Rebels Recovery, our permaculture programs incorporate regenerative agriculture with our recovery methodologies to enhance the efficacy of our programs and drive efforts to unify the health and wellbeing of those in our care with that of the earth.
Permaculture is an approach to land management and environmental design that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems.
This philosophy can be applied to our approach to healing and recovery as well.
When visitors arrive on our permaculture farm, they are greeted with the natural elements that are thriving in their holistic environments. They are invited to participate in our permaculture programs in Iquitos, Peru to experience working with the plants that both feed and heal our bodies.
Just as we tend to the plants, we also tend to our own healing and the healing journey of our visitors. Our healing as humans, whether we are healing from trauma, every stress, chronic addiction, or all of the above, relies on having a stable and nourishing environment.
One size fits all does not apply to our permaculture program, and the same goes to our approach to healing.
In addition to the role of permaculture as a core tenet of our lifestyle and recovery philosophy, the plants grown on our land serve the larger community, bringing sustenance to those in need and allowing us to give back to the community we call home.
THE CENTER
Our community
Beyond agriculture, our permaculture philosophy extends to the ecological engineering, sustainable architecture, and construction of our facilities. We partner with the community of Nihue Rao to establish food share programs & develop better access to fresh water through the construction of water towers in the neighboring village of Llanchama.
We are employing local community members to be involved in the development and design of the project in order to create more accessibility to necessary food sources that will be available for future generations.Permaculture Program in Iquitos, Peru
