Ayahuasca and music journey
Deep in the High Andean Jungle of Antioquia, Colombia exists the heart of Coyotipi - a 57 hectare (140+ acres) indigenous reserve.
Working with the land to preserve its nature, we run off solar power and reclaimed water.
We welcome you to a never seen before approach to the medicine - a deep exploration of Yagé combined with a deep study of the music; designed for not only musicians but anyone who wants to really understand the power of these traditions and healing modalities.
The Yagé we use has been lovingly prepared by the Siona indigenous tribe from Colombia.
Preparation and Integration
One month of preparation coaching
We have a private group preparation coaching program that ensures you are prepared physically, emotionally, and spiritually for the experience - and that you are on a first name basis with everyone that's attending the retreat. This includes a full course you can take at your own pace.
One month of integration coaching
For one month after the retreat, we have a private group integration coaching that includes a course as well as weekly meetings to further solidify your lessons.
Sharing circles around the fire
Every day we'll have the opportunity to share, to dive deeper into the lessons of the medicines, and to truly get to know each other.
One on One consultation with Juan Pablo or Scottie
To receive further guidance on what to explore or answer questions that come up in the ceremonies or retreat
Medical and safety
Private medical screening
Our retreat medical doctor Aleja will have a one on one call with you to go over any concerns and ensure that you're physically prepared for the medicine
Medical presence and first responders
We have a medical doctor as well as qualified first responders always on call at the retreats for any emergencies.
Women helpers, lodging, and sexual safety
We take everyone's safety highly. Women's and men's sleeping areas are designated and separated. No sexual activity of any kind is permitted at the retreat, including between married couples. We have a zero tolerance policy towards sexual innuendo, activity, or advances that applies to everyone - participants, helpers, and facilitators.
Further, we always have women helpers on hand. Women helpers assist women. Men helpers assist men.
Medicine Music
Three months access to Coyotipi Membership
Whether you're just starting to learn, or advancing in your practice - you'll have access to 3 months of the Coyotipi Membership. This includes private group coaching with our medicine music instructors, and 1 private class a month with our instructors. You can use this to focus on guitar, voice, or percussion.
Medicine Music and mentorship
We typically have 4+ musicians at every retreat. If you're a musician, you'll be personally guided by our musicians, and you'll be given multiple opportunities to explore playing and singing in ceremony.
World class music accompaniment
Our musicians are world class - many of them have albums out and are recognized as some of the best musicians in Colombia.
Ancestral Medicines
3 ceremonies with Mother Yagé (Ayahuasca)
We'll dive deep into the medicine over three ceremonies. Typically our connection deepens and grows with Yagé over the week.
Kambo ceremony
We'll start off the retreat with a Kambo ceremony - a medicine that's perfect for centering, cleaning, and purifying us.
Other medicines
Throughout the retreat we'll work with Rapé, mambe, and ambil. In addition we'll have a workshop with our Wiwa elder, Mamo Javier on the sacred relationship with Mother Coca.
