Most humble thanks to Antonio, Amaru, and Silvia for their warmth, openness, and heart.

Kambô (a secretion extracted from the frog Phylomedusa Bicolor) has been used in urban contexts as part of a therapeutic practice intended to prevent several sicknesses. The Katukina are a people who make this specialized medicine. Gomes, a shaman who applies the 'frog's vaccine' in individuals, stated that:

"Kambô avoids panema [dirtiness, negative energy], protecting the person both physically and spiritually in the energetic field."

HEALING
"Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come."
-Henri Nouwen
"The wish for healing has always been half of health."
-Lucius Annaeus Seneca
"Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity."
-Hippocrates
"The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world."
-Marianne Williamson
"It's when we start working together that the real healing takes place... it's when we start spilling our sweat, and not our blood."
-David Hume

We speak of coming into this world. We didn't. We came out of it.

"This is a very human, ordinary problem, which touches the life of everyone of us, rich and poor, young and old, why do we live this monotonous, meaningless life, going to the office or working in a laboratory or a factory for forty years, breeding a few children, educating them in absurd ways, and then dying? I think you should ask this question with all your being, in order to find out. Then you can ask the next question: whether human beings can ever change radically, fundamentally, so that they look at the world anew with different eyes, with a different heart, no longer filled with hatred, antagonism, racial prejudices, but with a mind that is very clear, that has tremendous energy.

Seeing all this – the wars, the absurd divisions which religions have brought about, the separation between the individual and the community, the family opposed to the rest of the world, each human being clinging to some peculiar ideal, dividing himself into ‘me’ and ‘you’, ‘we’ and ‘they’ – seeing all this, both objectively and psychologically, there remains only one question, one fundamental problem and this is whether the human mind, which is so heavily conditioned, can change. Not in some future incarnation, nor at the end of life, but change radically now, so that the mind becomes new, fresh, young, innocent, unburdened, so that we may know what it means to love and to live in peace." -J. Krishnamurti

Silent Awakening is located in the heart of the Sacred Valley, Peru, surrounded by the majestic beauty of the Andes Apus Mountain Range, and quietly secluded amidst the serene fields and forests of Rio Grande, Urubamba.

We are dedicated to providing you a revitalizing and life-changing experience of self-discovery, natural self-healing, and well-being in the peaceful natural surroundings of our retreat through the use of ancient and powerful plant medicines such as Ayahuasca and San Pedro in a safe, caring, and compassionate environment.

But more, we enhance and complement our retreats through a variety of carefully selected holistic and therapeutic practices such as yoga, massage and meditation. Our deliciously fresh and well-balanced meals are prepared with love and great care to provide energy and nutrition for the body, while thought-provoking philosophical and spiritual exchanges and a tranquil immersion in nature will nourish the heart, mind and soul.

Activities, heartfelt care, and an inspiring environment provide spiritual enrichment and facilitate a gentle but powerful personal transformation.

Our experienced, caring and intuitive facilitators will provide you with the utmost personal attention, and do so with the highest level of compassion and integrity during your time shared with us. To further help ensure the quality of our retreats and the individual focus and needs of our guests, we limit our retreats to small groups of 8-12 people. We also place a strong emphasis on helping you to integrate your journey and personal realizations into your daily life far beyond your stay with us.

Comfortable, simple yet luxurious rooms with a beautiful panoramic view of the mountains and surrounding nature provide a place of peace, rest and silent reflection whenever needed or desired, while our gardens, pond, a natural spring-fed swimming pool with floral baths, fire-pit, restaurant and communal areas offer wonderful opportunities to fellowship with others, share and exchange ideas, and develop lifelong friendships. Nature walks and visits to local sacred sites will enrich your experience through immersion in the ancient healing energy of the Sacred Valley.

We consider your stay with us to be of great importance and treat your time with us with respect and in a spirit of mutual learning and growth. With sincere mindfulness and care, it is our intent to provide you with a inspiring and life-changing experience that will remain in your heart and soul for years to come.
