Details of this retreat

Some shifts don't need four days — they need one clear opening, held with care.

This single-ceremony experience at AyaCenter in Antigua, Guatemala offers a San Pedro Huachuma ceremony guided by an experienced team, with space before and after to prepare and begin integrating what arises. It's a complete experience in itself — and for many, a first step toward deeper work.

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. The ceremony happens in daylight and in nature. You remain lucid and present, able to walk, explore, and begin integrating insights in real time.

What This Ceremony Is Designed For
This ceremony is for those ready to work with:

Chronic anxiety, stress, or unprocessed emotion
Relationship patterns that keep repeating
Career confusion or loss of life direction
Creative blocks and professional burnout
Grief, major life transitions, or deep loss
Fear-based thinking and limiting beliefs
The desire to develop a spiritual practice
A sincere wish to experience San Pedro's spirit, even briefly

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.
