Huachuma or San Pedro as it is known in the west, is a cactus native to the Andes, that has been worked with in Spiritual Ceremonies for thousands of years.
The cactus is a very serotonergic, Heart-opening medicine. Huachuma is timeless, universal, and it's wisdom is accessible to those who bring the right intention and a good, open heart to it
Huachuma means "without head" in the native Quechuan language. This is because it allows us to experience life fully from the Heart. Feeling this level of connection is a gift that offers many beautiful insights that can be life changing.
Ayahuasca, the sacred drink of the Amazon jungle, is made from two plants found in the Amazon rainforest - Psychotriaviridis (Chacruna) and Banisteriopsiscaapi (Ayahuasca vine).
The combination of these two plants, brewed for long hours, then ingested, leads to powerful expanded states of consciousness. This medicine has served as a source of incredible awareness and expansion for thousands of years.
The word 'Ayahuasca' means 'the vine of death,' as when we drink this medicine we experience the death of our old self and are born anew. Ayahuasca helps us become aware of all parts, patterns and behaviors that are not in service of our selves any longer, and supports us in transmuting all of these to be more conscious of our lives. To be more our selves without the baggage.
Our retreats combine different plant medicines for those who seek a responsible way of elevating their self awareness and consciousness.
Our retreat will work with the sacred medicine of Ayahuasca, which sheds light into your reality and shows you what you need to heal, and/or integrate in order to transcend onto higher levels of expanded awareness and harmony.
We will also work with the gentle guidance of Huachuma, a gentle and expansive journey of the heart and spirit. Removing the mind, opening the heart to feel a profound sense of interconnectedness with nature and the universe.
Also, we will have Somatic Breathwork practices to help unlock our innate potential by releasing trapped energies and emotions in the body.
We will also work with the centering power of Rapé, visit ancient Incan sites, and sweat lodge ceremony.
We have been facilitating ceremonies for more than 20 years and the experience that we have gained has given us the confidence to provide a space that is both safe and nurturing.
With the encouragement of the people around you, the stability of the facilitators , and the guidance of the medicine, you will feel the strength and courage that was always within you, urging you to make the change you’ve been seeking. Although you must take each step on your own, you will not be alone.
