Details of this retreat

The purpose and intention of these retreats is to use the magic and power of each of the Raymis, to connect more with the love of the Heart of our mother earth and have a very meaningful retreat, based on the symbolism and meaning of each of the times of our San Pedro ceremony.
We will have an Ayahuasca Ceremony dedicated to healing our blockages generated in childhood, a second Ayahuasca ceremony dedicated to healing blockages originated in our youth, a ceremony with the love of Grandfather San Pedro to heal our Present, a Mama Huilka ceremony to connect with the power of the universe and our inner power, an Ayahuasca ceremony to find a deep healing of the soul, a Fire ceremony, to find a magical vision with Grandfather Fire who was and is the first medicine of humanity.
And finally a San Pedro ceremony, to give thanks to love and life.

Raymis Retreats Itinerary – Heart of Pachamama

Our program offers four retreats every year, scheduled during the most powerful energetic dates: the solstices and equinoxes. These astronomical portals amplify spiritual work, making each retreat unique, profound, and deeply transformative.

What makes the Raymis retreats so special is the level of introspection they allow. Through Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and Huilka ceremonies, we guide a journey through the main stages of one’s life:

Childhood

Youth

The Present Moment

Personal Power

Healing

Vision

Gratitude

Each retreat provides a sacred and safe space to reconnect with yourself, release old burdens, restore your vital energy, and realign with your soul’s purpose.

Childhood
In this ceremony we focus on the sacred stage of childhood. With the guidance of the medicine and the spirit of the Grandfather Fire, we open a space to revisit the earliest memories of our existence — from the moment of our conception, through the time we spent in our mother’s womb.

Perhaps during that stage our mother experienced fear, abandonment, trauma, or difficult moments…
Perhaps we were not fully desired…
Perhaps she suffered emotional wounds or physical hardship…
And all of this, in subtle and powerful ways, was felt by us.

As we were born and grew, some of us may have experienced abuse, neglect, or painful situations that shaped the way we relate to others — in love, in friendship, at work, and in every human interaction. If a blockage was created during these early stages of life, this ceremony is devoted to healing that wound, releasing the imprint, and recovering the innocence and safety that every child deserves.

And if childhood was filled with love and beauty, this ceremony becomes a portal to remember, honor, and allow those memories to blossom again within the heart.

This sacred space is also an opportunity to pray for the children of our family, and for the children who are important in our lives.

Youth
Many of us lived intense, transformative, and sometimes extreme experiences during this stage of life. For many, it was during youth that we lost our direction, or began walking paths that were not aligned with our true essence.

This is the stage where we experienced our first love, our first illusion, our first heartbreak.
Where we discovered our sexual identity, our desires, our curiosity, and our fears.
Perhaps we suffered disappointments, confusion, or emotional wounds that stayed with us into adulthood.

In this second ceremony, we journey once again into this powerful and sacred time of life. We revisit our youth — whether beautiful, complicated, or chaotic — to understand it, honor it, and heal the insecurities or blockages that were born there.

This ceremony is dedicated to releasing the wounds of youth, recovering our confidence, and reclaiming the clarity and direction that may have been lost.

It is also a moment to pray for the young people in our families and for those we love, asking for their protection, guidance, and strength.
And we ask that the energy, vitality, and fire of youth remain alive in us throughout our entire life.

The Present
This third ceremony is a profound moment to observe, with both our conscious and unconscious mind, everything that is happening in our life right now. It is a space to clearly see how our relationships are unfolding, how our emotions are moving, and what we are truly feeling inside.

In this ceremony, we also recognize our responsibility in our own suffering. Many times we suffer and quickly look for someone to blame outside of ourselves. Yet sometimes, without realizing it, we may be acting in ways that create conflict, confusion, or pain.

Here, the medicine helps us understand what we must change, improve, or release in order to live in a healthier and happier way.

This is the ceremony where we truly feel the Present — where we awaken to the fact that the present moment is a gift, the greatest gift we have.
It is the offering we give to ourselves: a chance to start again, to align, to choose clarity, and to honor our life as it is right now.

Power
In this ceremony, at this point in the retreat, we have already traveled through the different stages of our life. We have seen them, felt them, and understood them more deeply. Now we arrive at the moment where we are ready to experience Power — the power of the medicine, the power of the spirits, the power of the fire, the power of love.

This is the ceremony where we allow this power to enter and settle within our mind, heart, and soul. Here, we fill our spirit with the greatest truth that exists in the universe:

We have the power to change our life.
We have the power to create what we want.
We have the power to do things well.
We have the power to be happy.

In this sacred space, we remember that whatever God is, It is not outside of us — It lives within us. And when we truly understand this, we recognize that we are the masters of our own life.

This ceremony teaches us that we can transform our thoughts, our actions, and our direction, so we may live in a better way — in love, in harmony, and in health.

Healing
In this fifth ceremony, we enter a space of deep cleansing — a sacred sweeping of the body, the mind, and the spirit. Here, we work to heal the roughness, the residues, and the unresolved energies that still move within us and are asking to be released.

Through this ceremony, dedicated entirely to physical and spiritual purification, we ensure that everything that no longer serves us is washed away. We clear what burdens us, what blocks our path, what limits our joy, and what prevents us from living in harmony.

This is the moment to remove what is heavy, reclaim what is ours, and open the way for a lighter, healthier, and happier life.

Vision
The sixth ceremony is devoted to receiving a deep and expansive vision of the future of our life. This is the moment when we can receive answers about something specific we long to understand. Here, the medicine works in direct connection with the allied spirits to reveal the clarity of our purpose in this retreat and to show us if something in our path must be reorganized, redirected, or better planned.

In this ceremony, we open ourselves to the visions of the medicine — insights about our life, our direction, and the deeper truth of our existence. We allow ourselves to feel the magic of life, the guidance of the spirits, and the wisdom that has been waiting for the right moment to emerge.

This night often brings a collective vision, unforgettable and sacred —
a mystical, otherworldly, spiritual revelation that transforms the way we perceive our life and our place in the universe.

Gratitude
This final ceremony of the Raymis Retreat is one of the most beautiful, because it is here where we truly recognize how blessed and fortunate we are to be alive in this magical world. This is the space where we give thanks for everything we have lived — the good and the difficult — understanding that nothing is truly “bad.” Sometimes the lessons are hard, but all of them are part of love.

In this ceremony, we open our hearts to thank the universe, and to thank Mother Earth, who gives us all her love. Everything comes from her. Just as a mother nourishes her children, Mother Earth provides us with everything we need to live.

Here, we offer gratitude for the plants, for the animals, for the people who work with the earth and make it possible for food to reach our table.
We give thanks for life, for love, for existence itself.

This ceremony is a sacred reminder that gratitude is the bridge that connects us with abundance, harmony, and the eternal beauty of being alive.
