The Rite of Passage involves additional Shamanic Exercises and two additional Ayahuasca ceremonies in separate locations of intense and divine beauty, each designed to develop the independence of the individual under the force of Ayahuasca.

Note - The first and final days of this voyage involve a 15km hike between the two valleys and require a healthy level of fitness and stamina.

“That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which make our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness. The only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve: which could not happen unless we had commence with error, ignorance, and imperfection.

We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.”  - Albert Pike

This 7 day Shamanic Expedition to the stunning Valley of Pati is offered to participants who have completed the Full Moon Ayahuasca (initiation) Retreat and wish to take their experience further and their journey into themselves deeper. ‘Rite of Passage’ is a profound and sacred experience,

The Valley of Pati is widely  considered by adventure enthusiasts to be one of the ‘top 3 hiking destinations in the world’, with its numerous enchanting waterfalls, towering cliff-faced mountains, abundant wildlife, cave-systems, and lush forest whose bio-diversity is comparable only with that of the Atlantic Rainforest and the Amazon.

This journey, deep into the ancient and mysterious valley, inhabited by only a handful of natives, will involve two further Ayahuasca ceremonies immersed in an intensely beautiful natural environment at a location known locally as ‘The Meeting of the Rivers’.  The objective of these ceremonies is to develop our independence and to understand at a deeper level the force and power of Ayahuasca whilst in a divine natural setting.
