About Pachamama Sanctuary

Mission & Vision

At Pachamama Sanctuary, we honor the Great Spirit through our sacrament, Ayahuasca. With deep reverence for nature, we strive to live in truth and awareness while extending kind, caring acceptance to all who join us.

Our community is dedicated to transforming lives by welcoming others into our sanctuary—because each of us has experienced the profound spiritual connection found in Ayahuasca and in one another.

Founded in 2019, and supported by nearly two decades of combined experience, Pachamama Sanctuary is a place to discover your inner truth. From the very first moment you connect with us, you will feel the warmth of our loving, supportive community. We understand how challenging life’s journey can be, and we want you to know that you never have to walk that path alone.

Authentic and beyond expectations!
​Unmatched Authenticity and Heart—Exceeded Every Expectation
​Having had my first Ayahuasca experience deep in the mountains of Colombia, South America, I came into this past weekend’s retreat at Pachamama in Casco, Maine with a bit of apprehension. I wondered if an experience in New England could match the depth and authenticity of my journey in South America.
​Any hesitation I had flew out the window almost immediately.
​The entire weekend was executed flawlessly. The sacred Ayahuasca medicine was deeply authentic, as was the Kambo ceremony. What stood out just as much, however, was the care and presence of the entire team. The staff and volunteers went above and beyond to make sure every single participant felt safe, held, and supported. The personal and professional wisdom shared across the group created an atmosphere of deep trust and connection that I will carry with me forever.
​There truly aren’t enough words to describe how profound this retreat was. I was convinced my first journey in Colombia could never be topped, but this experience surpassed it in every way.
​Whether you are a first-timer or a returning traveler, I cannot recommend Pachamama highly enough. It was an absolute blessing to share space with all of you.
​As a veteran, I am deeply moved by the work being done here, and I’m honored and excited to return as a volunteer this November to support my fellow veterans on their own healing journeys. Thank you to Pachamama and the entire crew from the bottom of my heart!

October 16-18, 2026
I am home 2 days now since the retreat and I long to be back again soon even though it was a 7-9 hour drive from NJ and they expense is something to always consider, if I could manage it I would be there once per month, I loved the people. I miss the people. I miss the intensely introspective trip inside my subconscious mind. I feel profoundly changed in my thinking. I changed from describing my life woes as being a victim to understanding my decision making role in every aspect of my life. My husband and I now fully see Gods hand in bringing us together and we both wish to immerse ourselves more into this lifestyle. I experienced from the staff and helping volunteers a deep commitment to the wellbeing and healing of every participant who cross their threshold

Best soulful experience!
I was able to connect to myself and my inner knowing in a way I’ve never experienced before, which was exactly what I wanted and needed. The entire Pachamama team was incredibly loving and supportive through the entire process, and I am so excited to be able to return to go even deeper into my healing journey when I’m ready. I also now have new additions to my extended family, because the connections made there on such a deep level are astounding. I have so much love and gratitude for everyone that made it all possible, and to myself for opening myself to the experience. This was life changing in the best way, and so much more than I ever could have hoped for.

Fulfillment
Wonderful setting inside and outside. Employees and volunteers are very attentive and caring. I have never been so welcomed and loved by strangers who came to be like family by the end of the retreat. I am grateful for the opportunity to have partaken in these special ceremonies. I felt and still feel so much better after than before I arrived. Thank you Derrick and team. You're providing very special services and care that no pharmaceuticals, psychologists or facilities can provide. Continue the great work and thank you.

A Journey with Pashamama
I've walked a spiritual path for many years, and at 70 I came to Pashamama Sanctuary hoping to connect with my purpose and higher calling. What I found was truly healing and transformative, and I'm grateful beyond words.

From the first day to the last, I felt safe, held, and protected. The staff and volunteers were some of the most loving people I have met. They were genuine, attentive, and caring, and they seemed to sense what each of us needed before we asked. The grounds were beautiful, the food was nourishing, and I cherished the connections I made with my fellow participants.

Pastor Derek was genuine, present, and accepting of each person's journey. He made room for every one of us exactly where we were on our path. The ongoing integration sessions offered will support me as I assimilate all I experienced.

The shaman was extraordinary. His gift is real, and his music carried me on a ride of comfort and connection that I won't forget.

I recommend this journey to anyone who wants to grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It was a blessing to be there. I plan to return someday.
