We offer intimate plant medicine retreats where somatic embodiment and sacred ceremony weave together to guide you into the deepest wisdom of your physical being. These are not escapes from reality. They are invitations to remember your natural role in Earth's ecosystem and step into your power as a conscious co-creator of new ways of living.

Two Ceremony Formats, Four gatherings Per Year

We hold retreats at the solstices and equinoxes, working with two different carefully curated plant medicine combinations to honor the unique energy of each seasonal turning. Choose the format that calls to you most deeply, or book a consultation call to discuss what format might best serve your needs.

Summer & Winter Solstice Retreats

Held over the peaks of light and dark, these retreats work with Bufo and Huachuma. We'll have two full days committed to communing with Bufo. You'll have the opportunity to feel the range of experiences this medicine has to offer, from gentle embodied opening to profound ego dissolution and connection with your higher self. The Huachuma ceremony weaves deep somatic bodywork with the medicine's grounded but expansive, heart-opening energy.


Each participant receives 90 minutes of professional somatic bodywork during the Huachuma journey, taking advantage of the deep openness the medicine creates to allow the body to unwind and release at a level it simply cannot in ordinary states.

Spring & Fall Equinox Retreats

Held over the balance points between seasons, these retreats work with Ayahuasca, Niños Santos, and Bufo. Ayahuasca and Niños Santos are deeply visionary and interdimensional. They illuminate the patterns held in the mind and body, where they originated, and what may be woven in from ancestral lineages or other lifetimes. These medicines also begin to open and rewire patterns that are ready to shift. Bufo closes the container with a deep energetic reset that happens at a level beyond what the mind can process and categorize.


Each participant also receives 90 minutes of professional somatic bodywork on an integration day, taking advantage of the openness the medicines have created to allow the body to unwind and release at a much deeper level than it normally can.
