Aya Raymi: 5 Elements Retreat

$550.00

Aya Raymi is an ancestral celebration of life, death, and renewal. Guided by Munay , the sacred vital energy of the heart. We reconnect with the elements water, earth, wind, and fire, and honor our ancestors as sources of wisdom, strength, and love.

Rooted in the traditions of the Andean cosmovision, Aya Raymi reminds us that by honoring those who came before, we awaken their gifts within us and step into our own transformation.

Through sacred earth medicines such as sea water, Kambo, Ayahuasca, and Bufo, this retreat opens a path of healing, cleansing, and rebirth. Participants shed burdens, release the ego, and awaken to freedom, bliss, and purpose.
