Ayahuasca Volunteer
Volunteer Opportunities
At Pisatahua we offer work-exchange opportunities to a select number of applicants. Individuals with a sincere interest in making a positive and lasting contribution are invited to become part of our community.
We seek proactive professionals, able to make a sincere commitment. We expect a high level of dedication and personal responsibility.
For interested individuals unable to meet the requirements to volunteer through Pisatahua, we also offer a number of volunteer positions through our non-profit, Sustainable Bolivia.
Volunteer Roles with Pisatahua
We are currently looking for skilled professionals with experience in carpentry, permaculture design, web-design, art, holistic-health practices, botany, mental health, mycology, cooking, sustainable development, oil/soap-making and more. We do not have many needs for volunteers to directly support guests during retreat as this work is predominately done by our staff, caretakers, healers and their assistants.
We accept applications of all kinds and encourage everyone to apply. We are open to creating new and unanticipated roles depending on the unique skills and life experiences of our applicants.
Below are a few specific (yet flexible) roles we seek to fill:
* Volunteers are typically expected to attend a retreat as a guest at the beginning their assignment.
* We typically ask for a 3-month commitment to be accepted in Pisatahua’s volunteer program.
* Applicants will coordinate with Pisatahua’s staff to develop a mutually beneficial role.
Volunteer Roles with Sustainable Bolivia
Pisatahua and our non-profit, Sustainable Bolivia (SB), are intimately linked in all we do. All roles through SB are also roles with Pisatahua. The difference is SB volunteers are not expected to first attend a retreat, or make a 3-month commitment; however, they are expected to make a monthly contribution to help cover their living expenses.

Volunteer Expenses
Pisatahua volunteers are expected to pay their initial retreat as well as make a multiple-month commitment. They can attend one additional ceremony per retreat. We ask for a 200$ a month contribution to cover basic expenses.
SB volunteers are expected to pay a monthly contribution of $600 usd. SB volunteers can attend any retreat with a 33% discount.
We Provide
We provide dedicated individuals the rare opportunity to live in one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. All volunteers receive accommodation (at Pisatahua and Riberalta), food and kitchen access, clean water, and access to onsite activities. Most importantly all volunteers have the opportunity to make a lasting contribution to support plant, animal and human populations inside the Aquicuana Reserve.
