🔍 Critical Notes

 

Soi Rawa’s $1,400-$2,500 retreats near Pucallpa offer an authentic ayahuasca experience, with Diego Sanchez’s shamanic expertise earning praise on retreat.guru for depth and care. The Amazon setting enhances spiritual connection, but Reddit reports of a 2022 psychotic episode due to poor medical screening—coupled with no on-site medical staff—raise serious safety concerns that could lead to harm. Ayahuasca’s legal status in Peru is permissive, but the remote jungle poses logistical and health risks—verify pre-screening rigor, emergency protocols, and facilitator oversight directly.

Shipibo Maestro Diego Sanchez stands as one of the most revered and compassionate Ayahuasca shamans in contemporary Peru. He descends from a distinguished shamanic lineage, having been mentored by his grandfather, Manuel Rojas Sanacino, one of the last ‘Merayas’—an elite echelon of shamans.
Maestro Diego is celebrated not only for his extensive knowledge and healing prowess but also for his profound kindness, patience, and humility, attributes that stem from his deep-seated love for humanity. His voice, known throughout the Amazon, resonates with the enchanting melodies of Icaros, while his heartfelt compassion for those in search of healing is evident to all who partake in his ceremonies.
Soi Rawa, under Maestro Diego’s leadership, operates its main center near Pucallpa, Peru, alongside additional retreats in the Sacred Valley of the Andes. The center leverages his deep understanding of the jungle’s medicinal flora. The primary Ayahuasca retreat, nestled deep within the jungle, provides an immersive experience into the Shipibo tradition, where the sacred roots of Ayahuasca thrive. Here, ceremonies are conducted in a spacious maloka, with treatments tailored to each participant based on Diego’s diagnoses, utilizing the ancient wisdom of Master Plants handed down through generations of Peruvian shamanic practice.
Moreover, Maestro Diego offers an apprenticeship program for those drawn to delve into plant medicine and to embark on the transformative journey of becoming an Ayahuasca shaman. This program not only educates but also nurtures the spiritual and ethical development necessary for this sacred path.

I came to Soi Rawa expecting a transformative experience, and there were certainly moments when the ceremonies unleashed intense, raw revelations that promised deep healing. The setting is undeniably inspiring—a rich tapestry of natural beauty that invites introspection and emotional release. I experienced flashes of catharsis and moments when long-forgotten memories surged to the surface, leaving me both moved and challenged. However, the overall process felt fragmented; the integration sessions often seemed too generic and rushed, leaving me with unresolved emotions and unanswered questions. While the potent medicine sparked moments of clarity, the lack of consistent, individualized follow-through made it difficult to fully weave those insights into a lasting change. For those who are highly self-reliant, the experience might offer hidden gems, but for me, it felt like an unfinished journey with as many lingering uncertainties as there were breakthroughs.

Soi Rawa led me on an expedition into the raw, unfiltered recesses of my inner world. The setting—alive with nature’s untamed energy and a thoughtfully designed ritual space—created an atmosphere that compelled me to confront my deepest truths. I experienced ceremonies that were both brutally honest and surprisingly gentle, inviting a cascade of long-suppressed emotions to surface. The energy during the rituals was electric, and I felt as though each session peeled back another layer of my identity. However, the journey wasn’t without its challenges. At times, the transitions between high-energy rituals and the group integration sessions felt uneven, leaving some insights to linger without proper grounding. While the communal sharing was sincere, I occasionally wished for more one-on-one time to process these profound experiences. Still, the overall expedition left me with a clearer understanding of myself and a spark of hope that continues to guide my path forward.

My time at Soi Rawa was marked by powerful emotional breakthroughs that shattered long-held barriers. The ceremonies here are intense—each ritual stirred emotions in vivid detail, challenging me to confront parts of myself I’d kept hidden for years. I experienced moments of deep catharsis that felt like genuine personal rebirths. However, while the rituals themselves were undeniably transformative, I sometimes found the transition into the integration sessions a bit abrupt. There were occasions when the communal discussions moved too quickly for me to fully digest the intensity of my revelations. I longed for more individualized attention during those critical moments of processing. Despite these occasional rough edges, the overall experience provided me with significant insights and a renewed commitment to my healing journey. It’s an impactful retreat that, with a little more structure in follow-up, could offer even deeper transformation.

I remember arriving at Soi Rawa on a cool, crisp morning when everything felt heavy and I was seeking a breakthrough. From the moment I stepped into the space, I sensed an energy that was both raw and nurturing—a gentle invitation to explore the depths of my inner self. One ceremony, held in a softly lit clearing under a canopy of whispering trees, completely transformed my perspective. I felt decades of pent-up sorrow and guarded secrets begin to dissolve in a cascade of cathartic release. The facilitators, with intuitive care and quiet wisdom, created a truly sacred space that allowed each emotion to surface and be embraced. Later, in small, intimate integration circles, we shared our most vulnerable stories, each one a thread in a tapestry of collective healing. I left with a renewed sense of purpose and a heart alight with hope—a transformation that continues to resonate deeply in my everyday life.

There are moments when you realize that true healing comes not from avoiding pain, but by daring to face it head-on. My experience at Soi Rawa was just that—an immersive passage into the hidden corridors of my soul. The environment was breathtaking: an enchanting blend of natural beauty and mindful ritual that made every moment feel as if it were part of a larger, timeless dance. In one poignant session, the medicine unlocked memories I had long buried, flooding me with a mixture of tears, laughter, and profound insight. The process felt like a deliberate peeling away of the layers that had concealed my authentic self. What made it even more powerful was the genuine camaraderie among fellow participants; our shared vulnerability in post-ceremony discussions forged bonds that felt both comforting and transformative. I emerged with a clearer vision, a lighter heart, and the kind of inner radiance that reaffirms life’s potential every day.
