We offer the following ancestral medicines to facilitate profound healing and transformation:
Is a powerful Amazonian brew sought after for its ability to induce altered states of consciousness and its profound physical and mental healing properties. It is very effective at treating depression, anxiety, addiction and other trauma-related conditions.
Sapo contains 5-MeO-DMT, also known as the God Molecule. Its vapor induces deep ego dissolution, spiritual awakening, and a mystical experience comparable to Nirvana. Used ceremonially, it promotes profound insights, emotional release, and a sense of unity.
San Pedro cactus, rich in mescaline, is a sacred Andean plant used for spiritual and physical healing. It induces deep introspection, heart opening, and a connection to nature. Known for its gentle yet powerful effects, it promotes emotional healing, clarity, and unity.
As a part of our retreats, Shamans may prescribe specific plant treatments using locally sourced Amazonian master plants to help restore physical, emotional or energetic health. This may include plant emetics, vapor baths, and oral plant remedies.
Arkana’s weekly program is a curated sequence of ancestral shamanic medicines, enhanced by spiritual practices, aimed at harmonizing the body, mind, and spirit.
