A 5-Day Sacred Ceremony
Retreat in the Arizona Desert
Remember who you are. Rooted in the Shipibo tradition of the Amazon.
A Shipibo plant medicine ceremony retreat.
Earth Connection Community holds 5-day immersions in the Shipibo tradition — a living lineage from the Peruvian Amazon that has worked with sacred plant medicine for centuries. Ceremonies are held in small groups at our secluded Arizona ranch, guided by Kano Mai, a trained Shipibo practitioner with over a decade of apprenticeship.
Our practice is legally protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. We welcome adults 21+ who feel sincerely called to this spiritual path.
"If you're reading this and something in you already knows — you're in the right place."

Everything you need for five days of deep immersion.
The sacrament opened me in ways I didn't expect, bringing spiritual growth, release, and clarity. What made it even more powerful was the circle I shared it with. The friendships, the community, and the love that held us all together reminded me that we grow not only within ourselves but also through each other. I am deeply grateful for the medicine, the spiritual lessons, and the people who made this journey unforgettable.
