Shamanic retreats
Here are some of my favorite shamanic healing centers. I am not an affiliate of these communities and make no money from advertising them. I have spent a significant amount of time either working or volunteering in this communities, and highly recommend them for anyone looking for reputable shamanic centers for healing and spiritual growth. I am advertising these communities as a passion because I believe everyone should have access to reputable shamanic centers

Michi Hampi
Located in the Sacred Valley Peru, about 15 minutes from Pisac, this is a smaller community than Gaia Sagrada, however, it also has a more intimate feel to it. This community operates more like a hostel where people come and go as they please, and ceremonies are sporadically held throughout the month.
This is a Spanish-speaking community, so it’s best to have some knowledge of Spanish to come here otherwise logistics can be difficult.
