Details of this retreat

In the quiet sanctuary of my casita, nestled in the heart of the Sacred Valley, I offer an intimate retreat experience designed for those seeking profound healing, inspiration, and connection. This is not a group retreat or a commercial center, but a private space where you are welcomed as family, with the time and attention to go deeply into your own process.

Over the course of your stay — from a few days to several weeks — we weave together ancient plant medicines, sacred rituals, and creative practices to support your transformation. Wachuma (San Pedro cactus) opens the heart and restores harmony with the natural world. Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) offers a direct encounter with the boundless mystery of consciousness. Kambó helps cleanse and strengthen body, mind, and spirit. Alongside these medicines, we bring balance through painting, drawing, and other art practices, as well as hikes to nearby sacred sites, where the Andes themselves become our teachers.

This retreat is a personal pilgrimage — a chance to step away from the noise of daily life, reconnect with your essence, and receive the medicines and teachings that are calling you. The rhythm is gentle and flexible, guided by your needs and intentions. All ceremonies are held with respect, integrity, and deep care.

Whether you come seeking healing, inspiration, or a renewed sense of direction, the space is here to support your journey — with safety, presence, and reverence for the path.

The Maestros of Espiral Medicine Retreats
The Maestros of Espiral Medicine Retreats have been by my side as I have traversed my healing journey from the depths of despair to the state of joy, spiritual abundance, confidence and self love that is my moment to moment experience today. Their generosity, humility, love and dedication to their work is inspiring and humbling and shines through in every moment of the ceremony. Their experience, connection and devotion to the medicine and their guests is palpable and heartwarming, opening the opportunity for you to make great leaps towards your profound healing. At Espiral Medicine Retreats you will not only come to understand that healing is possible, but that it is imminent. An absolute blessing.

Huachuma Amongst the Sacred Valley
What a powerful experience. I had a profound experience in many ways because Theo and Gary created a safe container for the medicine and the day: a day full of song, presence, strong energy, and the backdrop of the sacred Apus (the mountains).

They take care care in their medicine and it is evident in the way that they interact with the plants and with one another and each of the guest during the process.

I greatly appreciated the expressions of creativity that are fostered in the ceremony space from painting, to instruments, to singing. It is a way to transmute the energy and the different experiences into something healing, uplifting, and whole.

I would sit with both Theo and Gary at any point in the future - they are remarkable men that carry both depth and levity in their beings and who are true listeners and teachers of these medicines.

2 Amazing Men That Saved my life - I was Broken, Lost , Impulsive, Reckless, Shallow, Egotistical, Addict, .....................
I'll start this review by letting you know a little background about me and my layers that I have endured and dealt with throughout my life. Abuse, Addiction, Depression, Shame, Guilt, Insecurity, Reckless Behaviors, Impulsive Actions, and direct/indirect carelessness for my life. There are many stories to these words that have guided me to this point, that after 2 Rehab stints which I was given a great skill set of tools to work with but, it was very difficult to navigate for two years on how to continue to use them that eventually I was still at the edge of WHY care anymore.

The reason being is I still did not know how to love myself.
Until I met Theo and Gary.

These two highly emotional and artistic intelligent gentlemen have walked life (experienced) in many ways that as soon as I met them and spoke with them I could trust their knowledge, power, artistic gifts. They are true with their intentions and emotions for helping human beings succeed.

I have been to Peru twice and plan on going back again because the amount work and effort these two put in to their craft (Vibration work, Sound work, Breath work) and plant medicine retreat. Words do not justify how special these two men are. I can with the utmost sincerity and love let you know that I would not be here today if not for these two. I am grateful to have learned, healed, and journey on.

As a side note also, the location at Kinsapacha in Sacred Valley was absolutely visually stunning in the middle of mountains and Beautiful natural nature environments scenes that left me in awe. The Yurt and Sound Dome were an amazement during ceremonies for the retreat healing process. The lodging rooms were super spacious and meals were 5 Star quality.

Thank you Theo and Gary. YOU are legends in my thoughts forever.
Let the light shine through the darkness. The energy work completed has shown me how to understand both and work with it on a daily basis. Blessed!
Love you guys.
