Welcome to
Traditional Andean & Amazonian Shamanic Retreats in Australia
A Traditional Andean and Amazonian Sanctuary in Australia and Peru
A Traditional Andean and Amazonian Sanctuary in Australia and Peru
For those who feel called toward something deeper and are ready to be met with seriousness, structure, and care.
If you have found your way here, something in you is likely ready to be met with a different level of honesty.
Ancient Ceremonies was created to offer traditional Andean and Amazonian practices in a way that is grounded, responsibly held, and deeply respectful of their origins.
This is not spiritual tourism, and it is not built for curiosity alone. It is a structured path for those who feel ready to meet their lives with greater clarity, responsibility, and depth.

A Traditional Path, Held With Structure and Care
Step into the heart of the Australian countryside where Ancient Ceremonies unlocks a haven for deep shamanic healing. Here, your journey towards wholeness begins amid the whispers of Andean tradition and breathtaking Australian landscapes.
For many who arrive here, this is unfamiliar territory.
Not because they haven’t been searching — but because they haven’t yet found a place that feels both traditional and responsibly held.
Ancient Ceremonies offers authentic Andean and Amazonian practices within a clear and structured container. Nothing loose. Nothing casual.
Here is what that looks like:
• Small groups — up to 6 in Australia, 10 in Peru
• Led by highly trained and initiated Huachumeros and Ayahuasqueros
• Preparation before you arrive
• Integration once you return home
• A careful screening process to ensure the right fit
This work asks something of a person.
And in return, it offers the kind of clarity that only structure and tradition can support.
If you’ve been looking for a place where this is taken seriously, you are in the right place.
Real Change Takes Time (And We're Here For All of It)
Real change rarely happens in a single moment.
It unfolds through preparation, experience, and thoughtful integration.
The ceremonies themselves are only one part of the process. What matters just as much is how those experiences are supported — before you arrive and after you return home.
You won’t be left alone to “figure it out.”
We walk with you through each stage so that what you gain here can be lived — not just remembered.
Because the true measure of this work is not what happens during the retreat…
But how you return to your life afterward.
A Carefully Held Environment in the Otways, Victoria
Two hours west of Melbourne, our retreat space is intentionally chosen for its balance of privacy, nature, and accessibility.
The environment is designed to support the depth of the work. Comfortable accommodation. Quiet surroundings. Space to be alone when needed, and space to connect when appropriate.
You will not be navigating this experience on your own. Our team is present, attentive, and experienced — ensuring that your focus remains where it belongs: on the work itself.
Everything here exists to support one thing — a steady and responsibly held process.
Like many people, I didn’t come into this work looking for it.
I was sceptical. I tried the conventional paths first. Therapy, frameworks, explanations. They helped to a point, but something always felt unfinished.
What eventually shifted things for me wasn’t a breakthrough or an experience. It was being shown, very clearly, what responsibility actually looks like when ancient traditions are held properly.
I learned from my teachers that this work isn’t about healing as an idea. It’s about structure, discipline, limits, and honesty. About knowing when to act and when not to. About serving something bigger than your own story.
Over the years, I’ve seen hundreds of people come into this work hoping for change, and leave with something quieter but far more important: clarity, responsibility, and the ability to return to their lives differently.
When these traditions are respected, nothing needs to be forced. People don’t get “fixed.” They get steady enough to meet their lives again.
That’s the work.
