Before booking: what you need to know
Your safety is our absolute priority. Each participant is evaluated before being accepted. If you have any doubt, we talk about it together — no question is awkward.
Medical contraindications
The retreat is not compatible with:
- Psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, psychosis, non-stabilized bipolarity)
- Severe heart disease or uncontrolled hypertension
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Taking MAOI or SSRI antidepressants: minimum 48 hours of cessation before. The cessation protocol depends on the treatment, dosage and duration of use… Each situation is evaluated individually… a progressive accompanied withdrawal is systematic for sustained dosages.
- Certain active, untreated addictions
A prior medical exchange allows us to clarify each situation.
Our safety protocol
- Confidential medical questionnaire before any confirmation
- Individual preparation interview
- Continuous supervision during the ceremonies
- Post-retreat support group
- Medical emergency protocol on site
Frequently asked questions about our retreats
The questions we receive most often, before registration. If yours is not here, write to us — no question is awkward.
How does a Connecta Life retreat unfold, day by day?
Our retreats unfold over 3 to 6 days depending on the chosen format. A typical day alternates preparation time in the morning (meditation, intention sharing, body work), rest and nature during the day, then a sacred plant ceremony in the evening, supervised from start to finish. The next morning is dedicated to sharing and integrating the experiences. The last day closes the work with an integration circle and concrete tools to take home.
How long does a retreat last?
We offer several formats depending on the intensity of the work sought: 3 days (2 ceremonies), 4 days (3 ceremonies) or 6 days (5 ceremonies, a rare retreat format offered a few times a year). Each ceremony itself lasts between 4 and 6 hours. The total duration always includes preparation time before and integration time after — these are not « optional » days, they are an integral part of the safety and effectiveness protocol.
How many participants per retreat?
Our groups count between 8 and 15 people, with a strict cap of 15. This framework allows quality individual support — each participant is seen, heard and personally followed before, during and after the ceremonies. We deliberately refuse the large groups of 30 or 50 people sometimes seen in South America or Europe: the depth of the work depends directly on this.
Who leads the ceremonies and what is their training?
The ceremonies are led by Stéphane Lavergé, founder of Connecta Life. His path of support began in 2012 following a near-death experience. A former computer engineer, he left his profession to dedicate himself full-time to guidance work. He trained at the Floresiendo school where he then practiced for a year as a facilitator, before launching Connecta Life. He accompanies today more than 400 French-speaking people in their work with sacred plants.
Which format to choose for a first experience with sacred plants?
For a first experience, we generally recommend the 3 or 4-day retreat with Ayahuasca. This format allows for a complete first ceremony, an immediate integration time the next day, and a gentle return. Bufo Alvarius and Kambo are possible as a complement but rarely alone for a first time: Ayahuasca offers a longer framework that leaves room for inner dialogue. We discuss the most suitable format during the preliminary interview.
What are the medical prerequisites and the preliminary questionnaire?
Before any registration confirmation, a detailed medical questionnaire is mandatory. It covers psychiatric history, cardiovascular diseases, ongoing treatments, possible pregnancy, allergies and active addictions. An individual interview (phone or video call) follows the questionnaire to clarify each point. No registration is confirmed without prior medical validation — including if this means declining an already paid registration. Your safety prevails over any commercial consideration.
Antidepressants (SSRIs, MAOIs, SNRIs): what to do before the retreat?
Minimum 48 hours of cessation before. The cessation protocol depends on the treatment, dosage and duration of use… Each situation is evaluated individually… a progressive accompanied withdrawal is systematic for sustained dosages.
What are the psychological risks and what happens in case of difficulty during a ceremony?
Experiences with sacred plants can bring up intense emotions, buried memories or moments of disorientation — it's a normal part of the process. The facilitators remain present continuously throughout the ceremony. In case of acute difficulty, the team intervenes immediately with centering techniques (therapeutic touch, breath, grounding). A medical protocol is in place for emergencies.
How to prepare before coming (diet, mental, practical)?
Preparation begins 2 to 14 days before depending on the medicine. Diet side: exclusion of red meat, alcohol, fermented foods and stimulants (ideally light vegetarian the week before). Mental side: clarification of your intention, writing or meditation, avoid anxiety-provoking content. Practical side: reduction of sexual activity, regular sleep. A detailed document is sent to you after validation of your registration, adapted to the chosen medicine.
What is included in the price (accommodation, meals, follow-up)?
The price includes full-board accommodation, organic vegetarian meals, all ceremonies of the chosen retreat, preparation and integration workshops, continuous support by the team, and the post-retreat integration follow-up (follow-up call + access to the participants group). Not included: transport to the center, travel insurance and personal expenses. The complete details and up-to-date prices are on our Pricing page.
