About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

Some shifts require more than a single ceremony. They require space—time to be held, time to rest, time to let what has opened begin to settle into your bones.

This 4-day retreat at AyaCenter in Antigua Guatemala offers exactly that: two San Pedro Huachuma ceremonies woven together with integration workshops, meditation, nature immersion, and the gentle guidance of an experienced team. Each ceremony builds on the one before, creating a progressive arc of opening and transformation that continues even after you return home.

Father San Pedro, the ancient grandfather cactus of the Andes, works through the heart. Unlike experiences that pull you inward through darkness, Huachuma expands you outward—into beauty, into clarity, into a felt sense of your own wholeness. Ceremonies happen in daylight and in nature. You remain lucid and present, able to walk, explore, and begin integrating insights in real time.

Extended time in ceremony, thorough integration work, individual healing sessions, and the warmth of a small, intentional community—this is what makes lasting transformation possible.

Incredible sanctuary
I feel lucky to have found aya center. It’s an incredible place, with great energy and amazing hosts.
Sacha, Ana and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make me feel at home and navigate me through the journey.
Great overall experience, and at a time I really needed.
