What to Expect
At Niwe Rama, our retreats are rooted in the Shipibo healing tradition and held in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. This is more than just a retreat — it’s a return to the wisdom of the Earth, how our ancestors lived and a deep reconnection with your body, spirit, and soul.
Each retreat is guided by Shipibo healers, facilitated, supported by the local community, and held with care, respect, and safety. We intentionally keep groups small to allow for deep personal work and strong connection with both the medicine and the people.

These diets consist of minimal meals, isolation, no salt, no sugar, no oil, no sexual activity, and very minimal stimulation.
