Traditional Ceremonies
The Healing Approach
We are proud to maintain the traditional Shipibo-Konibo approach. While many retreats focus on the ceremony itself, Noi Rao is centered on the entire healing process—before, during, and after the medicine.
How Healing is Supported at Noi Rao
No shortcuts. No performance. No confusion. Just real work—and real support.
Traditional Ceremonies
We maintain the authentic Shipibo-Konibo approach. Unlike retreats that focus only on the experience, our ceremonies are led by Maestros who respect the medicine, ensuring the process is protected and the work remains deeply personal and safe.
Sacred Icaros
The Icaros are sacred healing songs directed at your specific energetic needs. These ancient vibrations guide the ceremony, helping to cleanse heavy energies, release trauma, and restore balance to your mind, body, and spirit.
Holistic Remedies
Healing extends beyond the ceremony. We support your process through plant-based remedies, steaming baths, and energetic cleansing. These traditional treatments are designed to prepare the physical body for deep spiritual work.
Guided Preparation
Healing begins before you arrive. We provide guided preparation and integration support to ensure you are ready. This includes dietary advice and mental preparation to help you receive the medicine fully and integrate it afterwards.
Restorative Setting
Noi Rao is a calm environment designed for deep restoration. We have removed the noise of the outside world so your nervous system can finally stop bracing for impact, allowing you to breathe again and truly rest.
Respectful Care
You are supported by a trusted team. We do not treat guests like customers; we treat them like human beings going through something sacred. We keep the experience grounded so you can feel safe to go deeper.
Restoring Integrity to Amazonian Medicine
Noi Rao exists because authentic healing should never be reduced to a business model. For many years, Maestro Nelson traveled throughout Peru helping countless people and centers. He witnessed firsthand how the westernization of these sacred practices often diluted their power.He saw that when profit becomes the priority, the safety and integrity of the patient’s journey are often compromised. This realization birthed the vision for Noi Rao.
We welcome those who are ready to heal—mind, body, and spirit—in a way that honors the ancient traditions. Whether you are seeking relief from trauma or a deeper connection to yourself, Noi Rao offers a protected space to do the work.
Along the way, he saw how profit-driven models caused essential Amazonian practices to be set aside. Noi Rao was created to restore integrity, tradition, and authentic care for the patient. This is not about tourism; it is about maintaining the purity of the lineage and providing a safe space for deep work.
This is not a trend. This is sacred work. We invite you to step into this space with intention, respect, and a willingness to transform.
Conserving the Authentic Shipibo-Konibo Tradition
Noi Rao exists because authentic healing should never be reduced to a business model. For many years, Maestro Nelson traveled throughout Peru helping countless people and centers. Along the way, he witnessed how westernization and profit-driven models caused essential Amazonian practices to be set aside. As a result of these observations, he committed himself to building a sanctuary that refuses to compromise on the integrity of the lineage or the safety of the patient.
We are proud to maintain the traditional Shipibo-Konibo approach in its purest form. While many retreats focus exclusively on the ceremony itself, Noi Rao is centered on the entire healing process—before, during, and after the medicine. By utilizing sacred Icaros, plant-based remedies, and energetic cleansing, we ensure that every guest is treated not as a customer, but as a human being engaged in a deeply sacred and protected transformation.

Screening Process & Safety Standards
All retreats begin with a mandatory screening process to ensure safety, readiness, and alignment. We welcome people from all walks of life who feel called to real healing, but safety is our absolute priority. This is not a recreational experience; it is deep, sacred work. Therefore, we must ensure that every guest is physically and mentally prepared for the medicine work before their arrival at the center.
Ayahuasca and plant medicine work can be life-changing—and it must be approached responsibly. To ensure your safety, we require full transparency regarding your medical history and current medications during the application process. We also offer a $200 discount for military veterans and first responders as a sign of respect, acknowledging the unique challenges they face and our deep commitment to supporting their path to recovery and peace.
