Peru Pancha karma

NOVEMBER 17 - 24 | 2025

The 7-night retreat at Kichic is luxurious, pleasurable, easy and deeply impactful. This proven transformational protocol enhances your body's capacity to generate and sustain a more joyful state of being.

The Amaveda Detox

Multi-dimensional beings need multi-dimensional healing.

This pleasure-centered protocol has been refined over 10+ years with outstanding results.

Rooted in Ayurvedic purification, it weaves functional fasting, delicious nourishment, movement, breathwork, and cutting-edge gut repair — clearing the central channel so your body can hold more light, more love, and deeper vitality.

A proven protocol

Your transformation gently unfolds as you spend a week…

Enjoying classical Ayurvedic detox practices
Healing your digestive system
Nurturing your gut mucosa
Replenishing your microbiome
Lowering your brain waves
Bathing in sunlight (and oil)
Stretching
Breathing fully
Upgrading your belief system
Unhooking from old patterns
Learning new things
Connecting — to your intuition, to each other, to the divine in all things

And you’re good.

Functional Fasting

The protocol is built around a 3-day period of Functional Fasting — a liquid nutrition phase I’ve worked with for over a decade.
It’s one of the most powerful healing tools I know.
Expect ease.
Expect effectiveness.
Expect mental clarity like you’ve never experienced, boundless energy, and countless revelations about your intimate relationship with food.
And yes — expect deliciousness.

Nervous System Always

Your body can only truly rejuvenate and detoxify when your nervous system is regulated — ideally while enjoying lowered brainwave states. That’s why we prioritise resting in a parasympathetic state throughout the week — it’s the foundation for deep, sustainable transformation.

Meta Metabolism

The first step toward elevated health is always metabolic. That means working with your gut. When you clear blockages — constipation, inflammation, infestation, stagnation — your entire system resets. A clean, light body becomes the seedbed for your energetic, mental, and intuitive bodies. This is *Meta Metabolism.

5 Bodies to Love

We honour the Ayurvedic wisdom of the 5 bodies — physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and cosmic. When you clear and unblock the physical body, the first body, you restore and amplify flow through all five in natural succession.

Group Synergy

Healing is accelerated in groups. Period. Group experiences harness the power of collective intention — where a shared commitment to well-being creates a powerful synergy that carries everyone forward, lifting each person higher than they could go alone.

Highlights

Rebirthing Breathwork

Over the course of the week, you’ll be guided through three group Rebirthing Breathwork experiences. These deep, somatic healing journeys support the liberation of the emotional body, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and often lead us into states of expanded awareness and unity consciousness.

The Amaveda Product Kit

Guests receive the Amaveda Detox Collection — a curated set of small-batch products designed to support the cleansing process and introduce Ayurvedic daily self-care practices and treatments. These rituals can be continued at home, extending the impact of the retreat into your everyday life.

The Peruvian Pharmacopoeia

Drawing from Peru's potent and abundant natural healing botanicals and nutrient-rich foods, the program incorporates Amazonian botanicals and Peruvian superfoods and herbs, sourced directly from this fertile, magical country.

Kichic Hotel

Recognized as one of Peru’s most beautiful boutique hotels, Kichic offers the ideal setting for this kind of inner work — spacious, serene, and deeply comfortable. The rooms are generous, the staff are incredible, the design exquisite, but it’s the open-air living that’s the real medicine. We’ve returned every year since 2014 — there’s simply nowhere better.

Pleasure-focused

Cleansing doesn’t require suffering — in fact, it can block your body’s natural detox pathways. Every part of this program is designed for spaciousness, pleasure, and ease. Even downtime is curated. Healing feels good here.

Cared for Self-Care

You’ll enter a held space, in a beautiful place — where the pleasure of truly caring for yourself returns, and stays with you long after you leave.

When everything you need for daily rituals is already in place and thoughtfully prepared, self-care becomes a joy. And joy is what makes it stick.

F.A.Qs

Where is Kichic and how do I get there?

Kichic is located on Las Pocitas beach on the north coast of Peru, just outside the coastal town of Máncora. Both national and international guests fly from Lima Airport (Jorge Chávez International Airport) to Talara Airport where you will be picked up and driven to Kichic Hotel, about 1 hour and 15 minutes away.

¡No hablo inglés, ¿puedo asistir?

El manual del retiro y las clases están en inglés. Sin embargo, podemos proporcionarte una traducción completa en tiempo real, por lo que no te perderás ninguna información importante.

Do you provide airport pick up and drop off?

Yes, we send a taxi to collect all guests arriving at Talara airport from the specific flights that we recommend for the start and end times of the retreat. The details of these flights will be sent to you when we receive the retreat application. If you arrive or leave on different flights, we can arrange a private taxi service for you at a cost of approx $70 each way.

What if I have a long layover in Lima?

If you have extra days in Lima on either end of the retreat, we can assist you with hotel bookings in Lima. Some guests choose to stay at the Lima airport if there is not enough time during their layover to venture into Lima. The airport hotel (Hotel Costa del Sol Wyndham Lima Aeropuerto) has a little day spa where you can relax, use the sauna, or get a massage if your international flights require a substantial layover

I want to stay longer in Peru, can you help?

If you would like to extend your time in Peru, we can connect you with a travel specialist to assist you in creating an add-on itinerary.

What is a typical day on the retreat like?

Unlike many wellness retreats with repetitive days, this is a protocol, a succession of steps, where one thing leads to the next which means that each day is unique. So that you have an idea, here is how a day might look:

8:15 Meet for the colon cleansing drink
8:30–9:30 Yoga
10:00-11:00 Beakfast
11:30 Group meet up and share, workshop or class
1:00–2:00 Lunch
2:00–5:00 Massage treatments, free time, Ayurvedic cleansing practices
5:00–6:00 Guided meditation or relaxation practices
7:00 Dinner
Before bed: Ayurvedic Tonic or colon cleanse.

Do I need any money while I am there?

No, you will not need to purchase anything while on retreat. However, guests usually volunteer to leave a collective cash tip for the incredible staff at Kichic. There is also a fantastic little shop at Kichic with local designer clothes, swimwear and jewellery, credit cards can be used at the shop.

What if I don't want to lose any weight?

The nature of the program does promote healthy weight loss as we are trying to free up the toxic load and many of the non-water soluble toxins reside in our fat cells, so some weight loss can be expected. If you are already at your minimum desired weight or would like to gain some weight, I will amend your program so you will have less weight loss as well as assist you with your post-detox diet that will help you build back stronger. This is not a weight program and you will absolutely benefit.

Can I book a consultation with you before I book?

Yes, please use the 'Connection Call' button below to book a complimentary call so we can discuss any of your concerns and ensure the program will work for you.

How does the registration process work?

What is your refund policy?

Due to the expenses and logistics involved in organizing international events, please be advised that all deposits and payments made for Amaveda retreats are 100% non-refundable.

How often do you suggest I detox?

Bi-annual detox is recommended.

How do I know if I need a detox?

PREVENTION AND CURE

Full-body cleansing should ideally be done twice a year as both preventative medicine and a curative practice for:
Food intolerances/addictions
Slow fat metabolism/weak digestion
Improved liver and kidney function
Reducing inflammation and oxidisation in the body
And as a general physical and emotional overhaul, upgrading and toning all of our inherent detox processes.
