Details of this retreat

*AYAHUASCA AND SAN PEDRO RETREAT, IN ANTIGUA GUATEMALA*
Five days · Six guests · Three ceremonies · Nobody left to figure it out alone.

In the highlands above colonial Antigua, we hold a small retreat that combines two plant teachers: Ayahuasca (Mother Ayahuasca), who guides you inward to look honestly at your patterns and wounds, and San Pedro, or Huachuma (Father San Pedro), who opens the heart and reconnects you with Pachamama. With never more than six participants, you are known by name, your intentions are remembered, and the attention you need is there from your first day to your last.

THREE CEREMONIES: TWO AYAHUASCA + ONE HUACHUMA
Your retreat includes two Ayahuasca ceremonies and one Huachuma ceremony, with time between them to rest, reflect and integrate.

WHO WILL HOLD YOU
Sasha leads the Ayahuasca ceremonies in the Shipibo tradition, having received transmission from Shipibo Maestros Carlos and Camila. The Shipibo are renowned Amazonian healers, known for the intricate patterns that mirror the visions received in ceremony. Sasha also leads the Huachuma ceremonies, having received transmission from Maestro Porfirio in the Sacred Valley of Peru.

Ana Sofía, our mindfulness coach, guides the preparation: intention-setting workshops and meditation to help you arrive ready.

INTENTION, CEREMONY, INTEGRATION
The retreat is built as one continuous arc. You begin by naming what you came to change. The ceremonies show you what is underneath it. Then, with Sasha beside you, you spend real time turning what you saw into decisions, grounded in Western psychological and social context, so you leave knowing what your next steps are. We look for people who are committed to their healing and ready to put down what no longer serves them, because that readiness is what turns a powerful week into a different life.

YOUR SAFETY COMES FIRST
Plant medicines are not right for everyone. Ayahuasca in particular can interact seriously with certain medications, including antidepressants, and with some heart and mental health conditions. Every guest completes a health and medication form, followed by a video call where we go through it together and answer any questions you have. If the medicine isn’t safe for you right now, we will tell you honestly and help you decide on next steps.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Three plant medicine ceremonies (two Ayahuasca, one Huachuma)
- Preparation workshops and meditation, including a cleansing (vomitivo) before ceremony
- Three one-on-one integration sessions with Sasha
- A herbal sauna session
- Private room with bathroom and shower
- Vegetarian meals, plus tea and fruit after each ceremony
- Follow-up support after you return home

GETTING THERE
Our team of trusted drivers can pick you up at the airport on request, for a preferential fee. Just share your arrival details when you book.

A WOMEN-LED SPACE
The women-led setting makes this retreat especially welcoming for solo female travelers.

This retreat may be for you if you:
- Feel disconnected from your sense of self or purpose
- Carry emotional patterns or past experiences you haven’t been able to move through
- Want to explore the roots of recurring struggles or habits
- Wish to bring more harmony to your relationships
- Are ready to commit to the work

WHAT PARTICIPANTS OFTEN DESCRIBE
Every journey is different, but participants often speak of emotional release, a shift in how they relate to themselves and others, a stronger sense of purpose, and a feeling of coming home to themselves.

“This experience has been a life-changing blessing. Thank you for making me feel safe and cared for every step of the way.” - César

Great overall experience, and at a time I really needed.
