Welcome to
Australia & Peru’s premier Andean and Amazonian Shamanic healing Sanctuary
"If you're reading this, you're probably searching for something deeper than typical therapy or traditional medicine can offer. Like many before you, you might be skeptical - I was too. But these ancient practices transformed my life and my family's in ways I never thought possible. Now, after 15 years of dedicated work with Peru's most respected healers, we've created Australia & Peru's premier center for authentic Andean and Amazonian healing traditions. No spiritual bypassing, just profound transformation through time-tested practices."

Beyond Traditional Healing: Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Your Modern Journey
Step into the heart of the Australian countryside where Ancient Ceremonies unlocks a haven for deep shamanic healing. Here, your journey towards wholeness begins amid the whispers of Andean tradition and breathtaking Australian landscapes.
Let's be honest - you're not just looking for another wellness retreat or quick fix. You're seeking something deeper, more profound. At Ancient Ceremonies, we bring together authentic Andean and Amazonian practices (yes, the real deal, passed down through generations) with practical, grounded support to guide you through genuine transformation.
Our approach? Small, intimate groups where you're treated like family (because you are), led by highly trained curanderos who understand both the ancient ways and modern challenges. No spiritual tourism here - just time-tested practices that have helped countless others move from surviving to truly thriving.
Think of it as building a bridge between where you are now and where you know you could be. And yes, we'll be there supporting you every step of the way.
Real Transformation Takes Time (And We're Here For All of It)
You've probably heard enough promises of quick fixes and instant breakthroughs. This is different. We combine time-tested Andean and Amazonian practices (thousands of years of wisdom, to be exact) with something equally important - practical, ongoing support that turns profound insights into lasting change.
Think of it as having both the map and the guide. The ceremonies provide the breakthrough moments, but our comprehensive support ensures these revelations actually stick. Because let's face it - real change happens in the weeks and months that follow, when you're integrating these experiences into your daily life.
Your Safe Harbor for Deep Transformation (Just 2 Hours from Melbourne)
Imagine stepping away from the noise of daily life into a sanctuary that feels both exotic and familiar. Our retreat center in the Otways of Victoria (yes, those stunning ranges you've heard about) offers exactly what you need right now - a perfect balance of comfort and connection with nature.
No sleeping on dirt floors or roughing it here (unless you really want to). Instead, think comfortable beds, modern amenities, and those little touches that help you feel at home. Because while you're doing profound inner work, we believe your outer environment should support, not challenge you. Our carefully chosen location offers both private and shared spaces, allowing you to find the perfect balance between solitude and community.
And don't worry - our experienced team is always nearby, ensuring you have everything you need to focus entirely on your journey.
"Like many of you, I started as a skeptic. After years of exploring conventional approaches to mental health, it was the ancient wisdom of the Andes that finally showed me what true healing feels like. Now, after 15 years of dedicated work and learning from my teachers, I've witnessed hundreds of people discover the same profound transformation - when these sacred traditions are honored properly, deep change isn't just possible, it's natural."

"The space you hold is so welcoming and integral. The space felt so safe, warm, and nurturing. I'm yet to have experienced such a warm and loving space. Thank you for embodying and upholding the lineage which you share. The strength of the space and the Teacher comes through how much reverence you have in honouring the Spirits, the Land, and the Ancestors.I have been brought so much joy from this weekend. I've been reminded of the importance of Family in ceremony space. This practice for me now is not just about what is going on on the inside but also about what we get to experience outside."

"Rodolfo, what words would do justice to the divine grace of the experience you facilitate at Kailash. You are truly family and it's an honor to be served by you. The interior experience of the medicine, the lineage and the space is truly yogic in the highest sense. This is the Soma of the Rig Vada, and the correct place for it is a temple. You inspire us to bring even more honor to the space we hold and we eagerly look forward to the evolution of Kailash with the Grandfather in our hearts. "
- David W. Wartook, Australia
