THE HUMMINGBIRD HEALING CENTRE PERU
The Hummingbird is a rainforest retreat and shamanic healing Centre specialising in plant spirit medicines and traditional cures.
We provide a safe haven for contemporary seekers to find the healing and vision they need through the effective use of proven shamanic techniques and jungle medicines, leading to resolution, well-being, positive transformation and happiness – in short, to a better world.
We take our name from the hummingbird (el colibri) which in Peru is the guardian of healers and those who seek healing or wish to learn the shamanic arts and wisdom of the plants.
Located 14 kilometres from the jungle town of Iquitos within the Amazon rainforest, we offer healing retreats with some of the most respected and powerful ayahuasceros (ayahuasca shamans) as well as workshops and trainings with some of the world’s most progressive thinkers.
