Autumn Equinox Ayahuasca Retreats in Southern Utah, Near Zion: Two Weekends Plus a 5-Day Deepening

Sept 18-20 | June 21 or 25-27th | southern utah | 3 Ceremonies (2 night, 1 day)

Price starting at $900

Registration Status: Open for registration

We are honored to share our Autumn Equinox Ayahuasca Retreats in Southern Utah, two ceremonial weekends held in the red rock country near Zion as the year turns toward its darker half. The equinox is the season's balance point, light and dark held even before the tilt toward winter. It is a natural time to take stock of what the year has grown, release what has finished, and sit with the medicine in the quiet that autumn opens.

Whether you are returning to the medicine or feeling the call for the first time, these weekends make room for honest inner work, reflection, and integration. You are invited to join either weekend on its own. For those registered for the second weekend, there is also the option to arrive early for a 5-day deepening between the two, a slower container to prepare body, heart, and spirit before ceremony begins.

Whats Included:

• Two night ceremonies and one daytime ceremony

• Professional integration support

• Workshops for seasonal alignment and integration preparation

• Nourishing meals cooked fresh on site

• Optional stay-through Monday morning at no extra cost

• Ongoing community support

• Gift Bag

The Deepening — Optional Add-On ($800)

Early arrival week begins Monday, Sept 21st

Available for up to 10 guests who are attending the Sept 25–27 Weekend Circle.

The Deepening is an optional early-arrival week for guests who want more time to prepare physically, emotionally and energetically before ceremony. It mirrors the traditional process used in the Shipibo lineage, where those seeking healing spend several days in purgative, cleansing and grounding practices before entering the medicine space. The week includes traditional Shipibo purification treatments such as vomitivos, purgatives and vapor baths, just as would be done in the jungle.

In addition to the traditional work, the week also includes western-based integration and inner-work support such as shadow work, Internal Family Systems-style exploration and daily sound baths. The Deepening is designed for those who feel called to arrive slowly, clear the body, quiet the mind and begin the inner work before the first cup is ever poured.

This five-day pre-retreat immersion includes:

• Traditional Shipibo cleansing practices (purgatives, vomitivos, vapor baths, etc)

• Seasonal and esoteric workshops

• Guided inner work and group support

• All meals provided throughout the week

• Upgraded accommodations for the week as well as the weekend circle
