Lovely, meaningful and safe opening experience
The whole experience was very nurturing and healing. I felt very safe and the facilitators did an amazing job at guiding is through the waves of the medicine. I would definitely suggest it to friends on the search for similar experiences. It was truly healing and magical at the same time. I have no words to describe the experience but I can say it was amazing in every way. I am so grateful I signed up for this little retreat that showed me the way back to my heart and helped me open up again. Muchas gracias Darcy y Robyn!

Sacred Peru Pilgrimage
Embarking on the 12-day pilgrimage with Star River Sanctuary has been a profoundly transformative experience. I felt an unparalleled sense of belonging under the compassionate guidance of hosts Robin and Darcy. Their meticulously curated journey deepened my understanding of ancient Andean spirituality and fostered a genuine connection to the land and its traditions.
Having studied the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition with Robin and Darcy for the past 1.5 years, this pilgrimage was the highlight of my learning with them. Their dedication to preserving and imparting this sacred knowledge is evident in every aspect of the experience. The Peruvian wisdom keepers who accompanied us embodied the essence of Andean spirituality with their open hearts and incredible teachings.
The kindness and warmth extended by Robin and Darcy created an environment where I felt seen and valued. Their unwavering commitment to each participant's personal growth and spiritual journey transformed the pilgrimage into a sanctuary of learning and connection. This journey has deepened my spiritual practice and instilled a lasting sense of community and purpose.
For those seeking an immersive and heartfelt exploration of Andean spirituality, I wholeheartedly recommend the Star River Sanctuary pilgrimage.
