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.

Medicine in Every Moment
During my time in Guatemala, I was welcomed into the home of the shaman and his wife. From very first day, I felt the balance created by their partnership. Together, they held the space with a combination of strength and warmth that seemed to flow naturally between them. It felt like an expression of the divine feminine and divine masculine in harmony, which set the tone for the entire retreat.

The shaman carried a deep well of wisdom and presence. He responded to questions with patience and clarity, offering guidance that felt both gentle and precise. There were times when just a few words from him brought a sense of calm or understanding that stayed with me long after.

His wife contributed an equally powerful energy; quiet, grounding, and compassionate. The way they moved around each other and the group created an atmosphere that felt deeply respectful and held. I often noticed how attuned they were to what was happening in the space and in each person.

The ceremonies were held in the temple, surrounded by volcanic mountains and waters that seemed alive in their own way. The energy of the land itself felt like an essential part of the medicine, something that reached into every aspect of the experience. There were moments I could feel the volcanic earth under my feet and a sense that the place itself was working with us.

Each detail... the songs of the musicians, the attentiveness of the facilitators, the meals prepared and shared together, felt connected to this same living field. For me, the medicine was not only in the ceremony but in every interaction, every quiet moment, every step taken on the land.

Throughout the retreat, everything felt integrated as one whole experience. Nothing stood apart or felt separate. I left with a sense of having been welcomed into something complete, alive, and profoundly healing. By the end, I felt almost as if all the participants were good friends. There was a natural closeness and trust between us that arose from sharing an experience shaped with so much wisdom and care.
