Retreat Highlights

  • A Sacred Night of Medicine, Music, and Elemental Prayer
  • This closing ceremony begins by blessing the medicine in the sacred fire, where intentions are offered through prayer and tobacco. The fire becomes our first witness—holding our words, our gratitude, and our readiness to listen.
  • From there, the ceremony unfolds in a rhythmic weave of silence and live medicine music. Sacred sounds—rooted in Indigenous traditions and medicine songs—are offered live, with spacious moments of silence in between, allowing the teachings to settle deeply into the body and the heart.
  • A copal limpia follows, guided with feathers, clearing and blessing the energetic field with reverence and care. The ceremony is gently brought to completion with a water prayer, honoring our transformation, our healing, and the life that continues to flow through us.
  • Throughout the journey, we are guided by elemental wisdom:
  • 🌿 Earth | 🔥 Fire | 💧 Water | 🌬 Air | 🌀 Spirit | ✨ Light
  • The Invitation
  • Bring your presence | Bring your prayer | Bring your heart
  • This is not a ceremony you witness.
  • It is a sacred dialogue—between self and soul, spirit and earth—where you are an active participant.
  • We are guided by the living elements:
  • Copal limpia | Sacred fire | Water prayer | Blessings | Medicine music | Offerings | Healing sounds | Silence
  • Each element is a teacher.
  • Each moment, a prayer.
  • At the center of this ceremony is Niños Santos, the revered Psilocybe mushroom—offering visions, clarity, and remembrance. Within this sacred field, the medicine gently brings forth what is ready to be seen, felt, honored, and released.
  • You may feel the presence of your ancestors.
  • You may touch grief long held in silence.
  • You may remember a joy that once lived in your bones.
  • You may come home to yourself.
  • What to Expect: A Held and Honored Experience
  • This is more than a gathering—it is a rite of remembrance. Every step of the journey, from preparation to integration, is held with care, respect, and intention.
  • 🌕 Ceremony Preparation
  • This is not a drop-in experience. Each participant receives detailed preparation guidance to support entering the ceremony with clarity, intention, and reverence. Your readiness is an essential part of the ceremony.
  • 🌱 Integration Support
  • What unfolds during the ceremony is only the beginning. Integration guidance and tools are offered afterward, supporting the teachings as they root into your body, your life, and your path.
  • 🧘‍♀️ Nervous System Awareness
  • Healing is honored through safety, gentleness, and deep listening. Your pace and personal process are respected at all times.
  • 🔒 Safety & Confidentiality
  • This space is held with deep reverence and confidentiality. Every word shared, every emotion expressed, and every experience within the circle remains sacred and protected.
  • 🪶 What to Bring
  • You are invited to bring a small offering for the altar—a flower, stone, photo, poem, or sacred object. These offerings help weave your personal prayer into the collective field.
  • Come as you are, with an open heart and deep presence.
  • This is a private ceremony.
  • Spaces are limited to preserve intimacy and depth.
  • To apply and receive full details, please reach out.
  • Beyond the Ceremony
  • While the Niños Santos Sacred Ceremony is a central pillar of the retreat, the journey extends far beyond a single night. This immersive experience is thoughtfully designed to support your body, heart, and spirit before, during, and after the medicine work—allowing integration to unfold naturally and gently.
  • The retreat also includes:
  • 🌞 Morning wellness immersions, supported by mindful micro-dosing, yoga, sound healing, voice activation, and restorative movement—inviting presence, balance, and embodied awareness
  • 🎵 Sound-bath journeys that open inner listening, soften the nervous system, and guide you into deep relaxation
  • 🗣️ Voice activation circles to awaken authentic expression, confidence, and the power of your own sound
  • 🌬️ Breathwork and nervous-system practices for grounding, emotional clarity, and inner regulation
  • 💛 Integration therapy sessions offering reflective support as you make meaning of your experiences and anchor insights into daily life
  • 🌺 Community connection circles that nurture authenticity, shared growth, and a sense of belonging
  • 🕯️ A Niños Santos Sacred Ceremony — a profound, extended 6-hour ceremony held with sacred sounds, silence, live medicine music, and ancestral ritual
  • Together, these elements create a holistic and held retreat container, where healing is not rushed, transformation is supported, and every layer of your being is welcomed into the journey.
