I couldn't imagine having this transformative experience at any other retreat. The facilitators are truly amazing caring souls and all have hearts made for helping others heal. The Shaman's are truly miraculous healers and will forever hold a special place in my heart. The anxiety, depression and anger that had consumed me before are all now gone!
It's no accident that there are only 5 star reviews for Arkana. The amount of love, joy, and life changing revelations I experienced in only a span of one week is incalculable. I am infinitely grateful for the presence, wisdom, talent, and caring of staff, organizers, facilitators, and shamans. I will forever cherish my time spent in the Amazon.
Arkana Spiritual Center exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The attention, care and individual focus we received during this week was undeniably the best I have ever experienced. This is truly a very authentic, Shipibo lineage full of love and integrity. For the first time, I feel whole, totally liberated from the effects of past trauma.
