Maloka means ceremony space it's where most of your plant medicine ceremonies happen, some are held in the jungle.
Maloka, just like your physical body, is a scared temple for you to heal, love & nourish.​

LOVE
I’m honoured to have been given special permission to bring a group to Maestro Herberto’s Healing Retreat. Groups are not normally permitted at this well established centre. It's been running for over 20 years & they have so many new & returning “passengers” as they call them, that they don't typically take group bookings.
I've developed a special relationship with the team, so we’re very privileged to be able to travel together to support, laugh & connect to one another in such a loving environment.
PROTECTION
The retreat is fully indigenous owned & run by Maestro Herberto & his family, including his sister Maestra Eunice & their Aunt Maestra Celia, all from the Shibipo-Conibo nation. He specialises in protection & building up your 'cano' (personal energy centre) with the plants & healings. You will feel safe, held & protected at all times surrounded by the jungle & looked after by the dedicated team.
HEALING
This is a mixed healing retreat using different plant medicines, with ceremonies held during the day & night. You will also be prescribed specific plants to "diet" & drink daily, to support your healing process. You are encouraged to participate in all ceremonies but you are not forced. You can go at your own pace, but will be trusted to push yourself for your own growth.

Booking Maloka.
Maloka was born out of my own personal journey to Herberto's retreat centre in 2024 & the idea of running a trip here came to me in one of the ceremonies, despite knowing they don't accept groups normally. But when the plants decide, you find a way & I was granted permission to bring a small group.
​
His centre is one of the very few centres in the Peruvian Amazon still fully managed by local staff. The team is of great value since it allows us to offer truly authentic shamanic treatments and at the same time, it provides guests the opportunity to connect with the original Shipibo culture without any intermediaries.
​
You will be part one big family and my wish for you is to feel our love and care from the moment we pick you up at the airport and throughout your stay – from the way the food is prepared by Rueben to every ritual and ceremony that we share together.
​
Maestro Heberto, the owner of the centre, oversees all the treatments that are administered. At the same time, his entire family is involved in the day-to-day running of the retreat: his wife Merci a master craftswoman, his father José, his mother Inés, to his sister Eunice & aunt Celia both powerful medicine women and his son Jerry the driver.
​​
This is a magical opportunity AND
This is a healing retreat, not a holiday.
This is the jungle, not a sterile hotel.
​
You will need a level of self awareness & respect for the fact you are deep in nature & not the main character lol!
It took me a few days to adjust to this & to stop over-thinking & start FEELING.
​
Food is simple & delicious & you are expected to follow the rules around diet at all times. I will be partaking in deep healing & initiations myself.
Once we get to Herberto's centre you will be taken care of by myself & the wonderful team.
We will unite as a group but we all be in our own, unique process.
​There is a wonderful retreat co-ordinator & translator on hand at all times, should you require any information or assistance.

Accommodation.
Choose from twin sharing or solo (I prefer solo). You will be allocated your room by the centre, using your intake form. For example, if someone has mobility issues they'll be in a bungalow closer to the kitchen & maloka. I like to stay deep in the jungle.
You can let me know your preference, but Maestro Herberto will make the final decision.
There is a beautiful fresh water swimming lake, which brings welcome relief from the heat, a Wifi Maloka to connect with family whilst you're away (many people opt for a total digital detox) and a huge Jungle Lodge to hang out & relax in hammocks.
​
Then there are the majestic Teacher Trees to explore & meditate with. You will be given a tour to deepen your understanding & connection with the jungle.

Impact
The impact this centre has had on my life, is hard to put into words, other than it's transformed it. My wish for you is that you find deeper courage, love & healing.
Maestro Herberto's family & tribe have faced persecution, racism & land-grabbing all their life & yet still they chose to share their magic with the world. It humbled me to tears that, despite what their people have endured, they still promote love, healing & respect at every level.
I am running this as a non-profit retreat with all proceeds going directly to the centre. Any surplus money will be donated to Maestro Herberto's NGO, which protects the Amazon, it's animal friends & human guardians.
​
I am so excited to share this space with you.
