About This Transformational Journey

Rooted Expansion in collaboration with True Journey is offering the opportunity to join Juana, Ute, and Olivia in Peru for a 14- or 28-day, highly personalized retreat in October 2025 with individual and group preparation and integration support before and after. The powerful journey will be capped at 8 participants. This container 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 Sacred Valley and Andean Mountains, 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 Sacred Valley and the High Andes.
Support from the True Journey Team including Maestra Juana, Ute, and Olivia. Depending on the package of support you select, you will also have access to an additional nine experienced and dedicated beings committed to their paths from Rooted Expansion providing a container of support around the retreat.
A unique, intimate, and community-centered container that surrounds the highly internal 14- or 28-day 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

The retreat is located in the Sacred Valley (Urubamba) of Peru and combines sacred mountain medicine with Shipibo jungle plant medicine. This container offers a space to explore the depths of ourselves with the support of one of the greatest teachers of all, Ayahuasca. This 14- or 28-day retreat will have 6 or 12 Ayahuasca Ceremonies led by Maestra Juana Silvano Teco. Ute and Olivia will be facilitating the retreat and providing preparation, processing, and integration support. Rooted Expansion is here to hug your experience providing supportive containers of preparation before you go and integration once you return home.
The venue is family-owned, cozy, and quiet property with a guesthouse for lodging. Guestsoften find the mountain environment considerably easier to adapt to than the jungle.

If you choose to receive additional support from the Rooted Expansion team you will have a chance to get to know other participants, be witnessed in your intentions, and create connection before descending into yourSelf. You will be held stateside when you return as you step into who you have become. During the retreat, you will likely be in silence and/or isolation for most of the 14- or 28-days coming together in silence for the 6 or 12 ceremonies with your fellow travelers and the 6 or 10 gentle yoga classes with Olivia. 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 Olivia and Ute will be available during the day for additional support. When you travel home, you will receive 1:1 integration support from True Journey and if you choose, there is an additional containers of support for you through Rooted Expansion.

Rooted Expansion & True Journey

It all started in 2018, when Jenna and Ute met 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 (that Bailey participated in!), and then a beautiful collaboration in 2024. Since that time, Ute, Bailey and Jenna realized how much these two organisms, True Journey and Rooted Expansion had to offer each other. Through True Journey, Ute has cultivated a depth of deep knowledge and wisdom in navigating and guiding others through the plant world. Ute 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. We are so grateful for our partnership with True Journey. Rooted Expansion comes in offering integrative and holistic support once you return home from your journey. We have a dedicated team of multi-disciplinary practitioners that weave supportive and integrative containers around the True Journey retreats. We are calling this collaboration Rooted Journey!
