Ocóyái, a beautiful place, a dream, a vision come true, a project of a wonderful couple, Scottie and Alejandra, and the great work of many people who came together to build with their own hands and with the best intentions so that those of us who gather there can find that home where we can pray as a family. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Yagé, and how is it different from Ayahuasca?
Yagé is the Colombian tradition of Ayahuasca, guided by Indigenous elders and used in ceremonial healing. While chemically similar, its spirit and cultural context are unique.
Do I need experience with plant medicine?
No. Many of our guests are first-timers. We offer preparation support, guidance, and integration to help you feel safe and ready.
Can veterans attend even if they’re on medication or have PTSD?
Yes — but we review each case personally. Some medications may need to be tapered beforehand. Safety and support come first.
Are the ceremonies safe?
Ceremonies are led by experienced guides and traditional elders. We keep group sizes small and ensure medical and emotional safety throughout. We have an on site medical doctor.
What’s included in the retreat cost?
Lodging, meals, 4 ceremonies, jungle excursions, integration support, and community housing. Flights and transport to the center are not included.
Can women participate during their moon cycle?
Yes. We welcome women in all phases of their cycle and offer special support when needed, honoring both tradition and modern understanding.
