Details of this retreat

At Corazón de Pachamama, we offer a transformative 3-month rehabilitation program, a true treatment for freedom, designed to help participants release deep emotional blockages, addiction patterns, and limiting beliefs. Our approach integrates the wisdom of Amazonian and Andean plant medicines with holistic therapeutic practices, creating a sacred and supportive environment for lasting healing and personal liberation.

The Plant Medicines:

Ayahuasca – A profound Amazonian teacher that guides emotional and spiritual healing.

San Pedro (Wachuma) – The heart medicine of the Andes, opening clarity, compassion, and connection to nature.

Mama Huilca – A sacred Andean entheogen for purification, vision, and inner guidance.

Program Highlights:

Personalized guidance and integration support

Rituals and ceremonies rooted in ancestral traditions

Daily practices including meditation, plant-based dieta, and energy cleansing

Therapeutic work for mind, body, and spirit

Our program is intensive and intimate, creating a safe and nurturing space where the plant medicines act as guides and allies. Each participant is supported on a profound journey toward freedom, self-discovery, and wholeness.

At Corazón de Pachamama, this is more than rehabilitation—it is a path to liberation through the power of sacred plants and ancestral wisdom.

29 Years of Experience Working with Sacred Medicine

I have 29 years of experience working with sacred plant medicines, and my personal journey into the sacred began long before I formally met these teachings. I am an only child and tragically lost my father on the very day I was born. He was traveling from Quito to Cuenca for my birth when his plane crashed on Chimborazo, and we never had the chance to meet.

This profound loss deeply shaped my childhood and youth. I experienced firsthand the emotional, physical, and social challenges of addiction. It wasn’t until a close friend invited me to a San Pedro ceremony that my life truly shifted. That experience captivated my interest in the world of spirits and plant medicine. I can say with joy and certainty that these sacred plants saved my life.

Now, at this stage of my life, seeing how many people I know have benefited from healing and overcoming addiction, I have decided to create a program designed to bring light and clarity to those living in the darkness and shadows of pain, solitude, and addiction. This program also honors the pain of the families affected by addiction, recognizing that true healing is different from what AA or NA programs offer. Here, the soul’s pain is addressed, forgiveness is cultivated, and true inner healing occurs.

During this three-month program, participants will engage in:

Different plant medicine dietas with Tobacco, Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and Huilca

Various rituals and sacred cleansings

Baths in sacred natural locations

Three ceremonies per week

Healthy, nourishing meals

Comfortable accommodations

This program is a path to discovering happiness, the rainbow of colors within ourselves, and true self-love—or learning to accept and love ourselves in ways we never have before. It is a journey back to peace, freedom, and joy.

The program is offered only once a year, with a maximum of one or two participants, and requires initial online video interviews.

Welcome to a reunion with peace, happiness, and freedom.
