About
Located in the heart of The Sacred Valley, Peru, this program offers a powerful place to tap into the wisdom of the land, the ancient culture and the deep inner knowing of our own hearts. This land is considered one of the most powerful energetic centers of the world. We feel its strength and we witness this deep connection to spirit in the land, the people and the harmonious way of living. In this retreat experience, we find a symbiotic blend of ancient indigenous wisdom and yogic teachings to guide you on this path of awakening.
We invite you to embark upon this powerful journey with us as we explore the mysteries of our own heart, guided by the Peruvian Medicine Wheel, which allows us to peel away the layers and awaken to our soul’s purpose. Insights, breakthroughs and revelations abound supported by this magical land. We experience the medicine of this land through Despacho ceremony, cleansing plant baths, purifying temescal ceremony, heart-opening cacao ceremony, traditional coca leaf reading, sound and shamanic healings, and optional shamanic plant ceremonies offered with trusted local guides. These rituals facilitate personal transformation and healing and will leave you feeling cleansed and empowered.
It is our greatest fulfillment to witness the transformation of our friends, family and students as they journey through this life changing experience. And it is a journey, with many challenges, triumphs and insights along the way, a journey that will leave you feeling strong, whole and limitless in your potential, a journey of healing that is cultivated by trusting each perfect moment.
We invite you to journey with us to the sacred highlands of Peru to embark upon this life enhancing experience. This soul journey is curated with enriching cultural activities, healing ceremonies, engaging discussion, thought-provoking personal growth activities and a daily practice to integrate your experiences. We host a journey that is deeply personal, supportive and inclusive to meet the intentions of each participant. Each day begins with Intention Setting, Meditation, Pranayama and Yoga Asana as a practice to cultivate deep inner connections and open to the experiences of the day. Organic locally grown vegetarian meals are served throughout to help cleanse and purify the body from the inside out. The day will flow into different activities, ceremonies or cultural excursion that coincide with the Peruvian Medicine Wheel as our guide for transformation. Allow the breathtaking beauty of Peru’s Sacred Valley guide you on your path of healing and self-realization.
We are grateful for the opportunity to work with local Shamanic Healers that we have been studying with for many years as well as the Master Plants of ceremonial Cacao, Japé, Wachuma and Aya huasca. Each plant has its own energy and lessons to reveal and we have designed this program to create an integrative and enriching learning environment grounded by the practices of meditation and yoga.
We support you and honor each of your individual journeys. We are honored to hold space for your individual and our collective healing.
Trust the process and answer to your Soul’s calling!

How can we find more ways to pause, to witness beauty, to appreciate the miracle of life, to connect back into our true nature and to live intentionally? There are many ways to incorporate ceremony into our daily lives. We offer ceremony as an opportunity to slow down to appreciate what is right in front of us and to offer gratitude to the Earth, Sky and Spirit. We will discover how to bring ceremony into every moment and witness the beauty of life unfold. AHO! HIYAYA!
