Workshops & Activities
The retreats include workshops that are carefully developed from a range of different modalities and take place every other day as a group. The various activities are designed to help integrate the insights coming from the Ayahuasca experience, workshops, and sharing sessions. Heal the physical body through yoga, massage, and watsu and translate your visions artistically during non-ceremony days.
All activities & workshops are optional but recommended.
Ayahuasca Ceremonies
The ayahuasca ceremonies are always free and optional, The first several sessions take place at night in the ceremony room while the final ceremony with a smaller dose takes place during the day. We allow boosters after one hour if necessary and are always available to you if you need assistance. The ceremony room has private bathrooms with running water. We use a curated playlist designed to activate different levels of insights during your journey.
Nutritious + Delicious Meals
We have a local chef on staff who provides breakfast and lunch every day, and dinner on non-ceremony days. The meals are vegan and are made with fresh ingredients in a variety of flavors and textures that do not interfere with ayahuasca. We provide a special treat on the last day of the ceremony and always serve meals together as a group in our main dining area. Fresh water, teas, and juices are always available as well.
Comfortable Lodging
Enjoy a luxurious experience during the retreat in one of our beautiful bungalows. Each one has a private bathroom with running water, a comfortable bed with a mosquito net, and a balcony with a hammock and a gorgeous view of the surrounding jungle. We are thoughtful in placing you with other guests, but a private bungalow is available upon request. We also have a dormitory under the ceremony room.
The Retreat Grounds
Enjoy exploring our lush gardens and swimming in the natural lagoon. Hear a variety of exotic birds, smell colorful flowers, and see monkeys swinging about in the trees. At night you can view the stars and hear the frogs in the surrounding jungle. You are safe from anything dangerous here, and your inner child will enjoy being among nature.

The Vine
Our lead facilitator, Silvia Polivoy, transplanted the Banisteriopsis caapi vine (part of the ayahuasca tea) and other lush plants to create the jungle and gardens at Spirit Vine. During the end of the retreat, you will get a tour and will get to meet the plants who helped provide you with such a powerful experience.

Reviews
I attended Spirit Vine in January of 2024. I waited a year and a half to write this review because I wanted to complete my integration with that experience.

Healing is not a race. What matters most is choosing paths that honor your wellbeing, readiness, and integrity.
Why Choose Spirit Vine?
We understand you have many options when choosing a retreat. We offer a safe, intimate, and deeply healing environment that honors your personal responsibility, inner wisdom, and long-term integration.
Before You Arrive
It is imperative that you prepare your mind, body, and spirit before embarking on the journey to our retreat center. Once you are approved to attend, our lead facilitator, Silvia Polivoy, will be able to answer any questions you have before, during, and after your stay.
Honoring The Roots of the Medicine
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.
