Colombia, 18th Mar 2026 — Mahadevi Ayahuasca Retreats, a plant medicine retreat center located in the Colombian Amazon near Mocoa, is offering immersive and responsibly guided ayahuasca experiences designed for individuals seeking personal insight, healing, and spiritual exploration. Founded by Yasha Shah, the retreat combines traditional Yagé ceremonies with a rare preparation known as Crudo ayahuasca, creating a carefully structured environment for participants interested in experiencing the medicine with guidance, safety, and respect for Indigenous traditions.

Situated in the lush Putumayo region, Mahadevi Ayahuasca Retreats provides a tranquil natural setting where guests can participate in small group ceremonies while receiving comprehensive preparation and integration support. The retreat aims to create a supportive atmosphere where participants can explore the transformative potential of ayahuasca while being guided through each step of the process.

Ayahuasca, a traditional plant medicine used for centuries by Indigenous communities in the Amazon basin, has gained increasing international attention for its potential role in self-discovery and personal growth. However, with growing global interest has come a wide range of retreat options, making it important for participants to choose programs that emphasize safety, cultural respect, and informed preparation.

Mahadevi Ayahuasca Retreats was founded with the goal of providing a more thoughtful and responsible retreat experience. According to founder Yasha Shah, the focus is not only on the ceremonies themselves but also on proper preparation and integration afterward.

“Our approach is about helping people engage with the experience in a grounded and respectful way,” Shah said. “Preparation, guidance, and integration are just as important as the ceremonies themselves. We want participants to feel supported throughout the entire process.”

One distinctive aspect of the retreat is its use of Crudo ayahuasca, a raw preparation of the medicine that many participants report as being gentler on the body compared to traditional brewed preparations. This variation has attracted individuals who are new to ayahuasca and may be seeking a more accessible introduction to the practice.

Ceremonies are held in small groups to ensure personalized guidance and a calm, focused environment. Participants stay in a premium natural setting near Mocoa, surrounded by the biodiversity and serenity of the Colombian Amazon.

In addition to hosting retreats, Mahadevi Ayahuasca Retreats is also committed to education and responsible awareness about plant medicine. The organization has launched The Ayahuasca Framework, a comprehensive free educational video course designed to provide clear and balanced information about ayahuasca.

The program explores topics such as Indigenous traditions, neuroscience insights related to altered states of consciousness, safety considerations, and practical guidance for those considering attending an ayahuasca retreat. The course aims to help individuals make informed decisions about whether a retreat experience aligns with their personal goals.

“The Ayahuasca Framework was created to provide clarity in a space where information can sometimes be confusing or incomplete,” Shah explained. “We wanted to create a resource that blends Indigenous perspectives with modern scientific understanding while prioritizing safety and responsible engagement.”

Through its ceremonies and educational initiatives, Mahadevi Ayahuasca Retreats seeks to contribute to a more informed and respectful conversation around plant medicine experiences.

As interest in ayahuasca retreats continues to grow worldwide, the organization believes that responsible preparation, transparent education, and culturally respectful practices are essential elements of a meaningful retreat experience.
