Ayahuasca Scholarships
Ayahuasca Scholarship Program
Pisatahua’s Scholarship Program is an initiative to increase access of Amazonian plant medicine treatments for local Bolivians. This program provides applicants a scholarship to attend an ayahuasca retreat at our center in the Bolivian Amazon.
Scholarship Application
At Pisatahua we are committed to making our medicines and knowledge accessible for all those who seek it. We understand that many individuals who need the medicine most, are those least able to obtain it. As such, Pisatahua designed a scholarship program to support individuals seriously committed to their healing process, who would otherwise be unable to attend a retreat. There is no discrimination in the selection process; however, special emphasis will be given to local Bolivian leaders.
This scholarship program is meant for those who would not otherwise have the financial means to attend a retreat with us. We ask that you only sign up for this program if this is the case for you, otherwise you will be taking a spot from someone who truly needs this support.
The following terms and conditions apply to Pisatahua’s Ayahuasca Scholarship Program.
- Applicants must be 18 years or older

Financial Aid and Payment Plans
For those who may be working within a budget, we are one of the most reasonably priced retreat centers in existence. We offer economical, safe and comfortable lodging options under the forest canopy. While we normally ask for a 50% deposit to secure your spot, we evaluate payment plans on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us for more information, or if your financial situation warrants additional assistance.
If you are a veteran, Pisatahua is currently seeking to partner with the Heroic Hearts Project, a non-profit organization which offers financial aid to veterans of war wanting to undergo ayahuasca treatment.
