Retreat Highlights
- The Sacred Ceremonies community is made up of spiritual seekers, tradition keepers, facilitators, and souls walking together with a shared purpose: to heal, remember, and reconnect with the essence of life. It is a safe and respectful space where every person is welcomed just as they are, free of judgment, and where the diversity of spiritual paths is honored.
- Here, connection is born from the heart.
- Ancestral wisdom is shared, deep listening is cultivated, and ceremonies are held to bring us back into harmony with nature, with one another, and with ourselves.
- It is not just a place to gather — it is a living network of support where authentic bonds are built, teachings are passed on, and seeds of collective transformation are planted.

Details of this retreat
Plant Medicine Ceremony — 3-Day Snow Moon Immersion
January 30th–31st & February 1st
Featuring Ayahuasca • Bufo • San Pedro • Kambo (optional)
Step into a powerful three-day transformational journey aligned with the energies of the Snow Full Moon. This immersion weaves ancestral plant medicines, intentional ritual, and guided processes to support deep emotional, energetic, and spiritual renewal.
The Snow Moon, traditionally recognized as a period of purification and inner illumination, invites us to release the heavy layers accumulated through the year and step into clarity. Under its crisp winter glow, intuition sharpens, emotions soften, and the spirit is guided toward rebirth.
What You Will Experience
Kambo (optional):
A cleansing and detoxifying ritual that purifies the body, strengthens resilience, and prepares the inner landscape for deeper ceremonial work.
Ayahuasca:
A profoundly introspective medicine that opens the heart and reveals inner wisdom. Guided ceremony supports emotional healing, ancestral release, and expanded awareness.
Bufo (5-MeO-DMT):
A powerful experience of dissolution and remembrance—returning to unity, essence, and pure consciousness.
San Pedro (Huachuma):
A heart-expanding daytime journey that nurtures compassion, clarity, grounding, and connection to the natural world.
Across these three days, participants will be held through guided ceremonies, integration circles, meditation, and intentional community sharing, ensuring a journey that is both transformative and supported.
