59° N / 6° N01 / OUR STORY
A connection between
two worlds.
Old traditions.
Human encounters.
Yagé brings people in Sweden together around the living traditions of the Amazon — with respect for the people who carry them.
Our gatherings are shaped by the visiting traditional practitioners who share their knowledge. Most retreats take place in nature around Stockholm, when our guests are able to travel.
Our roots are in Colombia, at Camino al Sol. That connection is at the heart of our work: personal encounters, careful preparation, and space for your own questions.

When the time is right.
Our retreats follow the visits of our traditional practitioners, rather than a fixed calendar. Each gathering has its own character, shaped by the people and tradition present.

03 / BEFORE, DURING & AFTERThe gathering is
The gathering is
part of a longer journey.
Take time to ask, reflect, and understand what participation involves. There is no need to rush a decision.
During · Room to be yourself
Learn about the visiting practitioner, the setting, and the support available before deciding. Ask about boundaries, consent, and what happens if you need help.
After · Back to everyday life
Leave space for rest and reflection. Integration means making sense of an experience over time. Contact us about the follow-up available for each gathering.
Care starts with honest information.
Ayahuasca carries physical and psychological risks and can interact dangerously with some medicines. Never stop prescribed medication on your own. A retreat does not replace medical or psychological care.

A little closer
to our roots.
In the green mountains outside Medellín lies Camino al Sol, our retreat centre in Colombia. It is where our work began, and where the tradition continues throughout the year.

05 / YOUR QUESTIONS MATTERCuriosity is
Curiosity is
a good beginning.
You don't need to have the answers.
You're welcome to start with a question.
What is plant medicine and how is it used in your retreats?+
Plant medicine refers to traditional preparations made from Amazonian plants, used within ceremonial traditions for reflection, self-discovery and spiritual growth. At our retreats, experienced Amazonian shamans guide the ceremonies, with space for intention setting and inner work.
Is it safe?+
Our retreats are guided by trained shamans with years of experience and include participant health screening. Participation is not risk-free or suitable for everyone. Get in touch if you have questions about your health history or medication.
Do I need experience to join?+
No previous experience is required. Both beginners and experienced participants are welcome, subject to individual health screening. We provide support before and after the ceremony.
Where are the retreats held?+
Most retreats take place in nature at different locations around Sweden, often in the Stockholm area. The location is shared when each retreat is announced.
How should I prepare?+
Preparation includes both mental and physical aspects. We share guidance on the traditional dieta: a period of intentional eating and lifestyle adjustments before the retreat. Prioritise rest, simple plant-based meals and time in nature, and make space to reflect on your intentions. Contact us for the preparation guidance for your retreat.
How do I sign up?+
Subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when a new retreat is announced. You will receive information about the dates, the visiting shaman and how to take the next step.
FOR WOMEN: Can I attend during menstruation?+
In some Amazonian traditions, menstruation is regarded as a sacred and energetically sensitive time. Some shamans ask that women do not participate in ceremonies during their menstrual cycle, while others are open to participation. Please let us know in advance so we can clarify the guidance of the shaman leading your retreat.
