About this Retreat
Marcela is a walking woman who loves spending her time traveling sacred mountains, huacas, and places of deep connection to nature. For years she has been guiding and providing experiences inspired by Andean practices and ancestral recognition.
She is Co-founder of the Pachacuti Center where she expands her mission as a holistic therapist and Cacao guardian. They carry out ceremonies, workshops and activities that seek to rescue Andean-Amazonian wisdom and ancestral practices by connecting with plant medicine, for physical, emotional and spiritual healing processes.
This path led her to connect with medicines such as Wachuma, Tobacco, Coca Leaf, Bobinzana, and Cocao which accompanied her in the process of finding her internal wisdom to heal.
Currently, she works in deep connection with master plants, herbal medicine, crystals, reiki, access bars, shamanic drumming, energy cleansing and other holistic therapies.

Cathi is a Holistic Nutritionist, Teacher, and Spiritual Healer. Her childhood was full of dis-ease, including autoimmunity, ADHD, and PTSD. Then, as an adult, she suffered severe pregnancy/postpartum issues and was later diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in her 30s. She has been walking the wounded warrior path for decades. Through many life experiences and healing herself, it’s become clear that she is here to help others on the same path.
She became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) after witnessing the power that food has on our health. Her daughter healed completely from Celiac Disease + anaphylactic allergies after 2 years of Nutritional Therapy, and since then, Cathi has helped hundreds of people heal themselves.
Cathi left the United States in 2019 to pursue her calling to learn with Indigenous Tribes who hold the secrets of healing the mind, body, and spirit. She is forever grateful to have found plant medicines like Huachuma, Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, Rape/hape, Cacao & the great frog medicine, Kambo.
Since starting this International journey, she realized how many women want to travel to have the same experiences but are scared to do it alone and many women are getting hurt in this process of seeking out healing. Due to being neurodivergent, she had a much more difficult time going through the retreat process than others did. She never felt truly understood as someone on the spectrum or that her “special needs” were accepted.
That’s why she decided it was time to co-create a retreat focused on safety for women – so women don’t have to feel scared & alone like she did going through unguided experiences in Peru.

INDIGENOUS MEDICINE
Many of us go to Peru to commune with the wisdom of powerful natural medicine & Master Plants. Learning how to work with ancient Indigenous healing tools can be a life changer if you’ve hit a plateau or have a blockage stopping you from moving forward.
By reconnecting with our roots, we can unlock & amplify healing when the physical symptoms are from underlying issues in the emotional + spiritual field. When addressing these traumas many will overcome their physical pain plus find the mental balance + peace that they've been searching for.
Each client will have a full Plant Medicine Evaluation so that we can assess needs & co-create a unique plan for you to start building a relationship with the plants. When our Facilitators have finished the evaluation you will be given personalized medicine recommendations, instructions + guidance.
This is an offering to start working with the medicine in microdoses so that you can begin your journey ASAP. Allowing you to reconnect with yourself & something beyond you, gain new understandings, bring clarity into your life, + release stuck energy.
BREATHEWORK + SOUND
Somatic release is one of the best ways we can instantly let go of trauma stored in the tissues + regulate the nervous system. This is an incredibly powerful technique that allows you to create deep inner healing & connect to your inner wisdom through the power of breath.
Every day we will be practicing different forms of music, dance, breathwork, yoga, + trauma release exercises at the retreat.
FREQUENCY HEALING
Without the correct frequencies, our cells cannot power or produce properly.
At the retreat, we will perform multiple bioenergetic scans on your Electric Magnetic Field to investigate which body systems & chakras need extra support.
Then we can supply the energy your body is asking for through earth medicine stones & Microcurrent Frequency Therapy. Every day you will be rewiring & reenergizing your body into balance.
TOURS + IMMERSION
Outside integration days are a large portion of the retreat. We have arranged the itinerary to have beautiful+ healing experiences so you can explore the sacred sites of the Amazon Rainforest & Andes Mountains.
Each day tour will take you through a different new adventure in the Yanesha Biosphere Reserve guided by our Native Sisters.
This Retreat wouldn't be possible without Indigenous People helping. From the beginning to the end of your trip, we want to share with you all we can about the Tribes in Peru, especially the local ones who help us heal & grow.
We are so thankful for the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest, the languages, traditions, plants, animals, medicines, wisdom & culture that is still living today. So we’ve planned multiple cultural immersions to teach you, bring awareness + give back.
Joining together with Yanesha, Ashaninka, Quechua, & Shipiba Medicine Women in healing, grieving, releasing & celebration is a regular part of the itinerary.
NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
