Date

Retreat Highlights

  • We are honored to invite our dear sisters and mentors Letizia Xiuh and Shahaf Shvarzman to lead Ayahuasca ceremonies the evenings of Jan 10th & 11th, 2026. This is a unique opportunity to sit with master musicians, and be held deeply in the sacred feminine.
  • Letizia has been living and sharing her medicine magic in the Sacred Valley of Peru for almost a decade. A Medicine Woman by blood, she holds 5th generation native medicine lineage from the North of Peru and has sat in and held over a thousand ceremonies.
  • The first three years of her path with medicine were alongside the Colombian traditions, with tribes from the Putumayo such as Kamentza, Yanacuna, and Cofan. Parallel to her studies with these tribes she went through initiations with Venezuelan tribes that work with master plants such as Yopo.
  • Grandfather Bolivar, leader of the Piaroa tribes from Amazonas, guided her as she lived with them for two months on their land, working, studying, and receiving their knowledge. Her first plant dieta with these tribes was Dada. This dieta is considered the initiation for those that are setting their path towards servants of the medicine and space holding. After 4 years of intense and disciplined work Letizia moved to Peru. Her previous work and connection with the plants and medicine space allowed her to connect and immediately start to work under the wing of Diego Palma, creator of Sacred Valley Tribe, a center with more than 20 years serving and holding space for the work with master plants. She devoted her path to this work along with the continuation of her studies through several dietas.
  • She went through initiations and self-healing with plants as Chuchuhuasi, Uña de Gato, Chiric Sanango, Ajo Sacha y Renaquilla. In addition, Letizia made a commitment to the work of Mexican tribes such as Huicholes, taking the responsibility to work with grandfather Peyote as a way to keep studying and receiving guidance through her medicine path. Letizia keeps training, studying, and learning from all the medicine paths and keeps her commitment to the discipline and presence that’s required to hold space from the work with medicine as well as different ceremonies related to the Moon Dance, Red Road, and Master Plants circles.

Incredible to say the least!
This was my first time sitting with aya and I can not even begin to explain how incredible it was for me. This retreat absolutely exceeded my expectations. The guides are fully involved and supportive throughout the full experience during and after each ceremony. The community, the food, the team, and the whole stay was honestly unbelievable. I feel grateful to have learned all that I did and to gained so much clarity that I will be able to integrate into my life going forward.

Aya ceremony @ Casa Floresta
I’ve participated in and hosted many Aya ceremonies but the depth, integrity and beauty of my ceremony was unmistakably the very best ceremony of my life. The purity and beauty of the medicine holder and her team was life-changing, coupled with the profound temple space at Casa Floresta made for a synergy that was deeply healing and elevating.

Feeling hope
It has been a lot to live in this world at this time. It's easy to lose hope and feel like there is more wrong than there is right. I have felt called to deepen my spiritual practices and to strengthen my sense of truth so that I can be more resourced for others, and last weekend's retreat was EXACTLY what I needed! I am feeling reset; more centered, and more able to be in my joy. I feel doors opening and soul family growing. There is so much hope! Grateful beyond words for this experience.
