About this Retreat
Katie
Founder + San Pedro Ceremonialist
Founder of this center, a spiritual medicine guide, and ceremonialist of Wachuma, San Pedro. Born in the US, she has been holding space in ceremonies and retreats for 6 years now. She has studied under the guidance of her partner, taita Miguel, a mestizo shaman, as well as with Mama Mercedes, an indigenous Kichwa Andean healer and midwife. Her role at the healing center is to lead, guide, and empower people to reconnect with themselves, Spirit and Mother Earth.
With a loving, gentle, and compassionate nature, her wish is for everyone to experience the magic, love, and healing of the plant medicines.
Taita Miguel
Curandero
Taita Miguel is a curandero, or taita, from Ecuador, with 28 years of experience working with sacred plants like Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Wilka. After a difficult childhood and youth, he found healing with the medicine San Pedro. He began helping taitas of the Andes, and then some years later began doing his own ceremonies. He was then introduced to Wilka by a Bolivian shaman who initiated him into this almost-lost tradition. He was then finally introduced to Ayahuasca, and learned to work with this sacred medicine as well with the Shuar native people of Gualaquiza.

Inti Raymi Summer Solstice Plant Medicine Retreat
June 15-23, 2026 | Malacatos, Ecuador
Join us for a sacred journey in the Andes guided by Taita Miguel and Katie. This intimate retreat weaves together Ayahuasca, San Pedro (Huachuma), and Wilka—three powerful teacher plants that open the heart, cleanse the spirit, and awaken inner vision. Through a series of traditional ceremonies, limpias, plant baths, and nature immersion, you’ll be guided to release what no longer serves and realign with your true essence. Connect with the power of the Solstice energy.
Celebrate the return of the Sun with a sacred week of renewal, ceremony, and connection. This retreat is an immersion into Andean and Amazonian plant medicines during the time of Inti Raymi — a traditional festival honoring light, life, and the cycles of nature.
During these nine days, you’ll be guided through a deep journey of transformation and remembrance.
Participants will experience four master plant ceremonies held with love and respect in a traditional Andean setting:
2 Ayahuasca Ceremonies (purification, insight, and healing)
1 San Pedro Ceremony (heart opening, connection with nature)
1 Wilka Ceremony (visionary awakening and divine remembrance)
Facilitators:
This retreat is led by Katie and Taita Miguel.
