Join us for a 4-night sacred container designed for deep personal work, spiritual clarity, and quiet reflection. Held at our secluded ranch in Arizona, these spiritual immersions offer a sacred space to reconnect with your essential nature, deepen your spiritual life, and clarify your sacred path.
Prerequisite for Participation: Attendance at our sacred ceremonies requires your sincere affirmation that you are seeking access for spiritual purposes. We recognize that spiritual growth often encompasses the holistic healing of mental, emotional, and physical suffering — but participation must be rooted in a genuine desire to engage with this spiritual path, not solely to obtain a substance. If you are uncertain whether this path is right for you, we welcome a conversation before you register.
Our retreats are structured to help you shed the distractions of the modern world and settle into the natural pulse of the Earth. We facilitate three Ayahuasca ceremonies, culminating in a dedicated day of integration to ensure the wisdom of the plants becomes a lasting part of your path.

We provide an intentional, all-inclusive container designed for deep transformation. Every element of the environment is curated to help you step away from modern distractions and settle into a state of receptivity and spiritual renewal.
We have coordinated the logistics of your arrival to ensure a seamless transition from the pace of modern life into the quiet presence of the land. Our goal is to make your travel as effortless as possible so you can begin your journey of reconnection the moment you arrive.

Your well-being is our primary responsibility. As a religious sanctuary operating under the protections of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, we uphold rigorous safety standards to ensure that you are physically and spiritually supported as you reconnect with the sacrament and the land.
Ayahuasca works in deep harmony with the body's natural chemistry. Many modern medications and substances can create "contraindications"—biochemical conflicts that may not only block the medicine's ability to teach and heal but can also cause dangerous physical stress, such as elevated heart rate or blood pressure.
By clearing these substances from your system, you are doing more than just staying safe; you are "clearing the channel," allowing your nervous system to return to a natural state of receptivity so you can fully communicate with the spirit of the plants.
All participants must complete our intake process before attending ceremony. This includes:
By approaching the medicine with this level of care, we create a secure environment for deep spiritual work.

Our screening process is a ministerial screening process designed to reduce the likelihood of contraindications with the sacrament. We do not and cannot provide medical advice, medical treatment, or mental health therapy services as part of these retreats. Any decision to discontinue, taper, or adjust medications must be made under the supervision and with the support of your own medical or mental health provider. Earth Connection Community does not instruct, advise, or encourage participants to stop taking prescribed medications.
