About This Transformational Journey

Rooted Expansion in collaboration with True Journey is offering the opportunity to join Juana, Ute, Jenna, and Iris in Peru for a two-week highly personalized retreat in September 2024 with individual and group preparation and integration support before and after with Ute, Jenna and Bailey. We are limiting the Rooted Expansion group to 6-8 journeyers with the total group being a maximum of 15. This will be deeply moving, beautiful, intense, profound, and life changing. Our intention is for each of you to experience a deep connection with your essence and to expand into the Truth of who you are. We will be combining sacred plant medicine, ancient traditions, nature, the ocean, coaching, yoga/breathwork, mindfulness, personal and group reflection, and travel to create the perfect container for growth.
The sacredness and deep spirituality of Ayahuasca will be profound in itself, it has been used for centuries if not longer by indigenous tribes across the Amazon. This journey will activate truth and transformation creating a path of possibility and choice while honoring these ancient traditions.

Testimonials

In reflecting back on my journey to Peru in August 2022, I feel deep gratitude for the care and support I felt from Jenna throughout the entirety of my process there. I had been a coaching client prior to the retreat where I was able to experience the depth of the space Jenna could hold, and so I trusted that while walking into the unknown there would be a level of safety with her there to walk alongside me. Jenna helped me bridge the world I knew with one that was new to me in a way that I could really understand- the ability she has to meet people exactly where they are has been such a gift to me. Feeling completely held in the space by Jenna, Ute, and Juana, I discovered parts of myself that I have since worked with to live a more intentional, peaceful, and liberated life. I am infinitely grateful.

Out of all of the experiences of my life, my trip to Peru with Jenna and Venture Beyond was one of the most life-altering I’ve ever had. The center, ceremony space, co-facilitators, host family… every piece of the journey was thought through, well-chosen, and well-held. The care created an experience of safety so that I could go deeper than I’ve ever gone in my own healing work. I am so grateful to have taken the wild leap of the Peru trip – years later, its impacts continue to ripple throughout my life.

This Retreat Offers:

Healing in a space of high integrity through potent Shipibo Medicine, Ayahuasca, Tree Diets, and medicine of the Ocean and beach.
Support from five experienced and dedicated beings committed to their paths: preparation with Ute, Jenna, and Bailey; the retreat with Maestra Juana, Ute, Jenna, and Iris; integration with Ute, Jenna, and Bailey.
A four-month long unique, intimate, and community-centric container that surrounds the highly internal two-week retreat. While your experience in Peru will not involve much interaction with your fellow travelers, you will have a chance to share, connect, and receive support from like-minded individuals who shared the experience with you before and after.
Two weeks of uninterrupted space for deep self-discovery and embodied change in an intensive and caring environment.

Going Within

We will go to the west coast of Peru (exact location disclosed once signing up), nestled on a private local beach to explore the depths of ourselves with the support of one of the greatest teachers of all, Ayahuasca. This 14-day retreat will have 6 Ayahuasca Ceremonies led by Maestra Juana Silvano Teco. Ute, Jenna, and Iris will be facilitating the retreat and providing preparation, processing, and integration support. Bailey will be providing stateside integration support after the retreat.
While this retreat occurs at a beach, it is no beach vacation. The venue is extremely rustic and the focus of this retreat is not comfort but rather the perfect container to go deeply within. The container is unique in that you will meet with the other participants before arriving in Peru. You will have a chance to get to know each other, be witnessed in your intentions, and create connection before descending into yourSelf. You will be held stateside by two facilitators, Jenna and Bailey. Once we arrive in Peru, you will likely be in silence and/or isolation for most of the two weeks coming together in silence for the 6 ceremonies with your fellow travelers and the 6 movement/yoga/breathwork classes with Iris. Maestra Juana will perform energy and healing work with the ayahuasca drawing upon her lineage and extensive dedication to this path. If you choose to diet as well, Juana will also work with your energetic body to align the energy of the tree in your system. Ute will be the primary facilitator during ceremony and both Jenna and Ute will be available during the day for additional support. When you travel home, you will be held by the group as a whole and also receive 1:1 integration support from Bailey, Ute, and Jenna.

Ute and Jenna

Jenna and Ute met in 2018 while working at the Temple of the Way of Light, an Ayahuasca Retreat Center in the Amazon Jungle of Peru. They immediately hit it off and had amazing synergy. Ute and Jenna knew this was just the beginning. Fast forward to 2021, Jenna and Ute ran into each other on a beach in Costa Rica (after Jenna had journaled days before about wanting to collaborate with Ute). It felt like fate! After that encounter, Ute and Jenna partnered and organized their first Ayahuasca collaboration in the jungles of Peru. Jenna brought down a group in 2022 which led to another collaboration in 2023 between Ute and some of the retreat participants. Jenna and Ute are excited to partner again in 2024. Ute is an incredible being who has dedicated herself to learning and studying through long-term Masterplant Dietas with a well-known and respected traditional Shipibo Healer Lineage in the Ucayali region in the Peruvian Amazon. She has worked directly with Juana for years and sees herself as a bridge between ancestral wisdom and Western understanding of life. To learn more about Ute’s experience and work, please visit her website: True Journey.
