About this Retreat
Danny is the lead facilitator at Sacred Healing, guiding ancestral plant-medicine ceremonies at the Sacred Desert Sanctuary in Joshua Tree, California. He holds each ceremony as a sacred container — rooted in reverence for the Indigenous lineages these traditions come from, and guided with modern discernment, care, and a deep commitment to safety.
His approach centers on the belief that the medicine alone is not enough: ceremony, integration, and community are what allow insight to become lived change. From the first preparation call through post-retreat integration, Danny walks alongside each participant on their path of healing and self-discovery.
Details of this retreat
Step into a sacred container for transformation. Over three days in the high desert, the ancient wisdom of plant medicine invites you to explore the depths of your spirit — held in a small group, carefully guided, and grounded in responsibility. The medicine alone is not enough; ceremony, integration, and community are what make this work take root.
THE PROCESS BEGINS BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
Every participant begins with a private consultation to assess readiness and align intention. You'll receive a detailed preparation guide and gather as a group the Monday before the retreat at 6pm PST for a virtual meeting to connect, set intentions, and receive guidance before entering ceremony space. This ensures cohesion, clarity, and psychological safety. Readiness matters. Preparation matters.
THE WEEKEND STRUCTURE
Over three days, we move through ceremony, integration, embodiment, and reflection. Friday evening opens the ceremonial container with intention setting, community building, and the first guided night ceremony. Saturday is devoted to integration, embodied practices, and nervous system regulation — including yoga, sauna, cold immersion, and optional bodywork — followed by a second evening ceremony. Sunday is reserved for integration and closure, translating insight into grounded understanding before departure.
THE WORK
This immersion creates space for unprocessed emotion, protective patterns, inner child wounds, long-held grief, and forgotten aspects of self. Ceremony does not give you something new — it reveals what has been waiting. When held in a safe and structured container, even the most guarded layers can soften.
AFTERCARE
Each participant receives an integration workbook and continued group support following the retreat, including a follow-up Zoom gathering one week later. Insight without integration fades, so we prioritize stability.
AN INVITATION
This experience is for those prepared to meet themselves honestly. Small group. Carefully held. Grounded in responsibility. Grandmother Medicine (Ayahuasca) carries a long Indigenous lineage, and we hold this work with reverence for the traditions that carried it for generations. If you feel the call, begin with a free discovery call. The journey starts long before ceremony — and continues long after.
