REQUEST DATES

PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE SELECTING A PROGRAM AND REQUESTING DATES

Here at Jakon Rate we normally do not set fixed dates for group stays, yet instead allow you to come at the time of your choosing (and for the duration of your choosing), as long as we have availability. That being said, we receive students to begin stays on Sundays only, and stay-durations are on a weekly basis.

The minimum period of samá we offer is 14 days, an appropriate length for an introductory connection to be made or for one to reconnect with their plant spirit allies and receive new healing and lessons.

New Students

 

For students who have never taken part in a traditional Shipibo samá before, or students who have never dieted with Yoxán Manuela or Yoxán Robi before: you are required to partake in one week of payanti—physical and energetic cleansing—before opening up a diet.  This includes participating in all aspects of the samá without formally opening or initiating the connection with a master plant, therefore not being required to follow a particular plant’s post-samá commitments. You may then open up a diet for two or three weeks, depending on your desire and availability. You are also welcome to take part in payanti for one or two weeks without opening up a diet (see Programs below for details).

 

Returning Students

 

For students who already have samá experience with Yoxán Manuela and Yoxán Robi, or with other members in the Mahua Lineage of the Shipibo-Konibo tradition, you are welcome to select your desired length of stay. If you wish to stay a different length of time than our program options listed below, please select the closest stay-duration and let us know in the Comments section of the Registration Form when you request your dates.

Inquiries for 2024 

We are nearly full for the rest of this year (2024), however, if you’d like to check availability for 2024, please email sama@jakonrate.org and we will get back to you shortly.

Private Groups

Occasionally throughout the year, we will host group retreats on the land. If you’d like to take part in these group retreats during a specific set of dates, contact us and we will put you in touch with the leading facilitators. Please note that group retreat prices will most likely be higher than our normal Jakon Rate prices listed below, due to the value added when coming in a group setting and container.

March 2-29 (Women’s Group) | 4 weeks | Facilitated by Farhana Sarguro

March 30 – April 12 (BIPOC Group) | 2 weeks | Facilitated by Nico Carter & Erica Nunnally

Again, if you’d like to take part in any of these group retreats or receive more information, please contact us and we will put you in touch with the leading facilitators.

 

Once you select your program below, you will be guided to begin your registration process, which involves selecting your requested dates. After you request dates, you will begin a screening, assessment, and preparation process. This process includes filling out a questionnaire, having an introductory phone call, making an exchange deposit, and scheduling a preparation session.

Once screening and assessment is complete, we require a 50% deposit of the full exchange upfront to reserve your spot. The remainder of your exchange will be due 1 week before your arrival date. We will not ask for any deposits whatsoever (and highly recommend that you do not purchase plane tickets) until your assessment is complete and you are fully confirmed on our end.

 

*If you’re a local Peruvian or from any other part of Latin America and need additional financial support to come study with us, please don’t hesitate to reach out to sama@jakonrate.org and request information about our Scholarship Program.
