Sacred Valley Plant Medicine Retreat with Ayahuasca and San Pedro, 13 days

*A 13-Day Journey of Ceremony, Culture, and Connection in the Peruvian Andes*

Our upcoming Master Plant Retreat in Peru, scheduled for January 10–22, 2026, is a 13-day immersive experience of healing and spiritual reconnection in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Inkas. This transformative journey is designed to awaken ancestral memory, deepen inner alignment, and restore connection with the Earth through sacred medicine, Andean rituals, and the ancient wisdom of the mountains.

Guided by a team of experienced facilitators, the retreat includes three Ayahuasca ceremonies led by Edmunds and Alessandra, and two Andean ceremonies guided by the respected Maestro Don Kucho—including the powerful Despacho ritual and a San Pedro (Huachuma) ceremony by the river.

This retreat takes place entirely in the Sacred Valley—a land rich with spiritual energy, vibrant indigenous culture, and monumental archaeological sites. From mountain lagoons to Inkan temples, from community visits to meditative walks, every aspect of this journey is curated for grounding, integration, and transformation.

*What to Expect*

*Ayahuasca Ceremonies (3 nights)*

Held in a serene ceremonial space, the Ayahuasca ceremonies begin in the evening and are supported by traditional healing chants (icaros), sacred silence, and the presence of experienced guardians. Participants are invited into a profound space of introspection and visioning. The brew used is a traditional Amazonian preparation of Banisteriopsis Caapi and Chacruna, with optional access to rapé (sacred snuff) and sananga (eye drops) to support grounding and energetic clarity.

Ceremonies are led by Edmunds and Alessandra, who bring a grounded, compassionate approach to the sacred night work. Sharing circles the following day allow space for reflection, emotional release, and integration in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.

*San Pedro Ceremony (1 day)*

The culminating ceremony of the retreat is held outdoors by the river, guided by Don Kucho, an Andean medicine man rooted in the mountain lineage. San Pedro (Wachuma) is a heart-opening cactus medicine that supports clarity, insight, and a feeling of oneness with nature. This slow, reflective day invites deep listening to the river, the earth, and one’s own soul. The ceremony ends with singing around the fire, integrating the vision and grounding it into the body.

*Despacho Ceremony (1 day)*

The Despacho is a traditional Andean ritual of offering and gratitude to Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (mountain spirits). With coca leaves, flowers, grains, and prayers, a sacred bundle is created and offered to the spirit world as a symbol of balance and reciprocity (ayni). This is a powerful act of collective intention-setting and realignment with nature’s cycles.

Cultural Immersion and Sacred Sites

Throughout the retreat, participants will visit some of the most spiritually significant and culturally rich places in the Andes, including:
• Pisac village and its traditional market, with free time to explore handicrafts and mingle with local Quechua people.
• Chawaytiri community, where ancient weaving techniques are preserved with pride.
• Cochahuasi Animal Sanctuary, home to rescued Andean wildlife.
• Archaeological sites such as Saqsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo, and the Intiwatana Temple in Pisac.
• A high-altitude excursion to the sacred lagoon of Quinsa Cocha (4000m), surrounded by pristine nature and silence.
• A full-day trip to Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inka Empire, including visits to the Temple of the Moon, San Blas, and the San Pedro Market.

Integration and Support

Integration is a core pillar of this retreat. In addition to daily sharing circles and optional one-on-one guidance, participants are invited to slow down, connect with others, and anchor their insights through body awareness, journaling, and conscious rest. The group field is cultivated with intention, offering a safe and sacred space for everyone’s unique process.

Whether you’re called to deep inner healing, ancestral reconnection, or simply a reconsecration of your path, this retreat offers fertile ground for transformation—with nature, spirit, and community as your allies.
