Aruna Healing
Reconnect with nature and inner wisdom
Pucallpa’s retreat scene meets a nature-led approach at Aruna Healing, where ceremonies, plant wisdom and intuitive guidance are framed as ways to reconnect with self, Earth and a wider sense of purpose. The work is described as respectful of Indigenous traditions and grounded in the intelligence of nature and the value of community, rather than tied to a named meditation lineage. Expect an emphasis on personal reflection and spiritual growth, with experiences shaped around nature-based practices and ceremony; exact activities can vary, so ask about the program before booking. Food is notably simple: meals center on vegetables, include traditional Shipibo fish, and are prepared without oil. Vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, organic, gluten-free and dairy-free options are listed. Guests arriving through Pucallpa airport can be picked up and taken directly to the hotel. Aruna Healing runs by donation.
