Nelson Pereira

Nelson Pereira is the founder of El Retiro and has worked with ancestral plant-medicine traditions, meditation and integration practices since 2012. He has facilitated intimate retreats in the Dominican Republic since 2015, supporting guests through preparation, ceremony and the practical work of bringing insight into daily life. Nelson’s approach is personal, grounded and attentive. He works with small groups so each participant receives close guidance, space for reflection and support throughout the process. His focus is not on promises or quick fixes, but on creating the conditions for honest self-observation, greater clarity and responsible integration.
