‘Jungle Fever’ is an exclusive 16-minute excerpt from the groundbreaking shamanic documentary Aya: Awakenings, written by Rak Razam and directed by Tim Parish. As LA Weekly says, “with trippy visuals, jungle sounds and more, the movie attempts to capture the experience of taking the hallucinogenic substance.”
“Come on a Hero’s Journey of departure, initiation and return with legendary ayahuasca shaman Percy Garcia opening up and cleaning you out on a psychic and energetic level. I will be lecturing on consciousness issues and teaching how to integrate the experience.” – Rak Razam

A PDF version of the 10-day retreat is available here
“I’ve just completed the 10-day retreat with Rak Razam. This retreat has transformed my life. It’s given me such perspective on how I’ve been living and the way my mind works. I feel genuinely transformed by my time here and I would recommend it to anyone else.”
“This is definitely a life changing experience. I faced my deepest darkest fears and I felt pure love at the same time. It was nice to get insight on how to accept things and work through it, and what it means. It’s changed my ways of thinking and feeling and communicating with other people.”
“[Ayahuasca] really helped me connect with the more sensitive and honest expression of myself. The people here have been amazing. I could see how much [Percy] … played a vital, beautiful role helping guide me and explore what ayahuasca has to offer. I’ve really appreciated the guidance Rak has offered and facilitated with the group here… ”
