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.

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.

A Beautiful Place to Begin Your Ayahuasca Journey
A really good place to start your ayahuasca journey, especially if you’re looking for something more intimate and down-to-earth. The staff was wonderful, supportive, and welcoming, and the small group of around 20 people made the experience feel much more personal. It didn’t feel overwhelming or commercial—it felt like a space where you could relax, explore, and have your own experience while still feeling supported by the people around you.

Life Changing Experience
First timer here! I have to say, I was totally skeptical before going in and nervous as could be, but from the moment I arrived, they made me feel right at home. The overall experience was absolutely breathtaking. It’s hard to put everything into words, but it’s something I’ll never forget. It’s definitely a challenge, to say the least, while you’re working through everything that comes up, but getting to the other side is well worth it. The people, the experience, and the whole environment were incredible. By the end, you honestly won’t want to leave. I’m already looking forward to coming back.
