Ayahuasca ceremonies are guided in a traditional way, respecting Ayahuasca lineage practices, as well as applying the methods of contemporary Ayahuasca traditions. The Workshop joins together various practices and integration methods (mindfulness and insight meditation, contemplation, Yoga, breathing practices, discussion and sharing circles), and sight-seeing excursions. There’s also plenty of free time periods that can be used for resting, walking and reflection.

Basic part of the Workshop is held in the rural area of Pisaq village in the Sacred Valley of Incas (2950 m. / 9680 ft.), 35km from Cusco. Cusco city (3300 m. / 10820 ft.) is easily accessible by 1h 10min flight or about 17-hour bus trip from Lima. Cusco is the main city of the Andean region of the same name; it’s the last Andean region on the East of Peru, neighboring with the Amazon district of Madre de Dios. Cusco city with its surrounding valleys is the most visited region in Peru, representing the heritage if Inca civilization.
Workshop accommodation in the Sacred Valley is is offered by Melissa-Wasi, recently built house following the traditional canons of Andean mud-and-eucalyptus architecture, providing all the facilities for a comfortable and unforgettable stay, surrounded by crop fields and Apus (sacred mountains). Some of the meals are done in the guest house; all of the Ayahuasca ceremonies and most of the activities are done near the guest house in a building called maloca (“temple”).
Additionally the house offers the services of laundry, phone calls and internet access.
For the last several years Melissa-Wasi happened to become a well known place in Pisaq, where visitors stop either to simply enjoy the magic of the Andes or, thanks to its connection with Ayahuasca-Wasi, to pursue for an inner journeys with sacred plants, like Ayahuasca or San Pedro.
