🌿 Vipassana & Ayahuasca: A Journey Within 🧘‍♀️✨

In her latest piece, Bethany — a seasoned Vipassana meditator — shares how silent meditation in Thailand and a 10-day ayahuasca retreat at Pisatahua both led her to deep healing, clarity, and surrender.

Living with bipolar disorder and on the autism spectrum, Bethany's story is a powerful testament to the strength of mindfulness, plant medicine, and personal transformation.

My previous experience sitting a ten day Vipassana meditation course served me well for a ten day ayahuasca retreat.

the Amazon is alive with wonder — and at pisatahua, we’re grateful to witness its magic every day.
from powerful medicinal plants to the diverse animals that call this land home, nature reminds us to slow down, listen, and reconnect.
these are just a few of the incredible beings that share this sacred space with us.
