What is a Maloca and Why This Matters
A Maloca is a dedicated space for healing, growth, and specifically, ceremony.
Ceremony is not a trend. It is a return.
A return to the wisdom of the body.
A return to truth, to release, to belonging.
In recent years, we’ve witnessed how ceremonies at Peace Retreat have changed lives. Guests arrive broken open, uncertain, or seeking. They leave with clarity, connection, and something indescribable—wholeness.
“For the first time in my life, I felt like I belonged somewhere.”

What We’re Building
We are raising funds to construct:
• A maloca: a large, open ceremonial space designed for sacred gathering and healing
• A bathroom facility to support the comfort and dignity of ceremony participants
• Landscaping and planting to protect, honor, and integrate the structure into the surrounding jungle
This is not about expansion—it’s about dedication.
Rather than continuing to adapt makeshift spaces, we are being called to create a purpose-built ceremonial space—because the demand for healing has grown. And the work deserves a structure that honors it.
Our Overall Goal
In total, we are aiming to raise $25,000 to bring this vision to life. Your contribution will directly support:
• Construction materials and labor for the maloca
• A sustainable, natural bathroom facility
• Locally-sourced wood and eco-friendly building materials
• Landscaping and native planting to honor the land
• Permits, planning, and site preparation
We aim to begin building in the coming months so the maloca can be ready for our next ceremonial season. Your support now ensures we can move forward without delay.
With this in mind, our first goal will be to raise the first $10,000 by August 1, 2025 to begin land preparation and secure materials before the rainy season begins.
Let’s Build This Together
Your gift becomes part of the structure. Your prayer becomes part of the healing.
