Meaning of Ayahuasca

Aya: In the context of Ayahuasca, the term “Aya” translates to “spirit” or “soul” in various indigenous languages of the Amazon. It signifies the profound spiritual journey and transformation that participants embark on during the Ayahuasca experience. The essence of “Aya” reflects the deep connection to the spiritual realm and the exploration of one’s inner self, allowing individuals to confront their fears, heal emotional wounds, and gain insights into their life’s purpose.

Huasca: The term “Huasca” refers to the vine from which the Ayahuasca brew is made. This sacred plant, known scientifically as Banisteriopsis caapi, plays a crucial role in the preparation of Ayahuasca. The vine is traditionally combined with other plants to create a powerful brew that facilitates profound healing and spiritual awakening. “Huasca” embodies the essence of nature and the connection to indigenous wisdom, emphasizing the importance of the natural world in the healing process.

Why Our Name is Synergaya

Our retreat center is named Synergaya because it embodies the essence of our vision.

Synergy represents the powerful connection between body, mind, and soul, as well as the community that forms here. Healing does not happen in isolation—it unfolds through harmony with others, nature, and the universal energies.

Gaia, the Earth, is our source, our teacher, and our home. In deep connection with nature, we offer our participants the opportunity to reconnect with their roots and live in alignment with the world.

Aya is a reference to Ayahuasca, an ancient plant medicine that opens doors to deep wisdom and self-discovery. In our retreats, we create a safe space where everyone can explore their inner truth and experience profound transformation.

Synergaya unites all these elements—Synergy, Gaia, and Aya—into a place where deep healing, expanded consciousness, and spiritual growth can flourish.
