Shipibo Plant Medicine Retreat

With Curandera Maestra Eunice of Peru
5 nights, 6 days

In the heart of the Shipibo tradition lies a beautiful truth: that healing is not merely the absence of illness, but a return to harmony. Within this lineage, there is a profound emphasis on the loving, nurturing presence of the "Grandmother" spirit—an approach to medicine that is as gentle as a lullaby yet as deep as the roots of the rainforest.

We invite you to step into this sacred container to experience a path of transformation that honors the delicate balance of the human spirit. Whether you are seeking clarity, release, or a soulful reset, this is an opportunity to be held in a tradition that has whispered its wisdom through the leaves for generations.

The Presence of Maestra Eunice: To walk this path is to be guided by one who embodies its very essence. Maestra Eunice was introduced to the plant medicines at the tender age of five, beginning a lifelong apprenticeship with the earth. She carries the spirit of the Shipibo people with remarkable depth, holding space with a rare blend of humility, fierce wisdom, and maternal care.

Both powerful and compassionate, Maestra Eunice welcomes each soul with a warmth that makes the profound feel personal. Her work is deeply holistic; she understands that the medicine speaks not just through ceremony, but through the waters of plant baths, the touch of traditional massage and the discipline of the dieta. These modalities are offered as a complete tapestry of healing, available to all—including those who feel called to the healing vibrations of the jungle without sitting in the Ayahuasca ceremony itself.

Your Journey, Your Pace. We believe that healing cannot be rushed. To honor your individual process, we are offering three consecutive, intimate retreats. You are invited to join us for the window of time that resonates with your spirit:

‍The Weekend Immersion (2 Nights, 2 ceremonie): A focused portal for those seeking a brief yet potent shift.
‍The Deep Immersion (6 Nights, 4 ceremonies): An extended journey for those ready to sink into the silence and allow the work to unfold in layers.

As we move toward the threshold of the new year, there is no greater gift than the opportunity to start afresh. Whether you stay for a few days or a full week, you will leave with a clarified heart and the steadying grace of a tradition that knows exactly how to lead you home to yourself.

‍Step into the lineage. Listen to the plants. Begin again.

Wild Heart Saddle Up & Soar

A spiritual retreat with horses
5 nights, 6 days

There is a unique and ancient magic that stirs when a human soul meets the gaze of a horse. These majestic, deeply sensitive beings are more than companions; they are sentient healers and masters of energetic frequency. Because a horse’s heart is five times larger than a human’s, their electromagnetic field is vast, acting as a powerful regulator for our own nervous systems. In their presence, the "noise" of the modern world falls away, replaced by a rhythmic, grounding resonance that demands—and inspires—total authenticity.

"Soul & Saddle" is an invitation to step into the field of the herd and experience the profound impact of equine energy. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Arenal Volcano, this retreat is designed for those seeking a gentle yet deep reconnection to the wild, honest parts of themselves. Here, we move beyond words and into the primal language of the heart.

The Energetic Wisdom of the Herd: The horse is a creature of pure vibration and presence. As prey animals, they have evolved a sophisticated level of sensory awareness, allowing them to mirror our inner worlds and reflect our truths back to us with quiet, non-judgmental grace. Through the "Soul-Horse Connection," we offer a sacred space to witness how their steady energy can dissolve emotional blockages and open the heart to new insights. Whether playing alongside them in the rainforest or swimming together in the cool, restorative waters of the Arenal River, you will find that the horse does not just carry your body—they carry your spirit toward transformation.

A Sanctuary of Spirit and Nature: In this sanctuary, we weave the frequency of the horse together with the sacred tools of our lineage. Alongside the equine experience, you will be supported by modalities designed to elevate your vibration:

‍Ancestral Movement: Honoring the elements to release what no longer serves you.
‍Frequency Alignment: Grounding your spirit through sound and energy work.
‍Sacred Circles: Processing the wisdom gifted to us by our equine guides.

Your journey unfolds over five nights in our Rainforest Sanctuary, where the earth itself breathes with life. Between structured ceremonies, you will have ample "Integration Time"—moments to soak in volcano-fed hot springs, walk the meditative labyrinth, or listen to the rainforest’s chorus from the comfort of your jacuzzi.

Every meal is a prayer; every session a step closer to home. You will leave not only with a deepened bond with the animal kingdom but with a practical toolkit of spiritual practices and a nervous system reset by the steady, ancient beat of the herd.

‍Listen to the rhythm of the hooves. Feel the expansion of your own heart. Come home to the wild silence.

April & November

Soul & Saddle

A journey of hoofbeats & healing whispers with the medicine of psilocybin
6 nights, 7 days

There are moments when the Earth offers us a map back to our truest selves. "Soul & Saddle" is the sacred convergence of two of the world's most ancient and profound medicines: the visionary wisdom of the Psilocybin mushroom and the grounding, sentient presence of the Horse.

In this deep-dive retreat, we invite you to step into a landscape where the veil is thin and the heart is open. Under the watchful gaze of the Arenal Volcano, we journey with the "Children"—the sacred mushrooms—to navigate the internal maps of our souls, followed by the steady, rhythmic companionship of the herd to anchor those visions into our earthly reality.

The magic of this retreat lies in the dialogue between the expansive and the grounded. While the medicine of the Earth opens the portals of insight and ancestral healing, the horses stand ready to receive you as you return.

Through two dedicated ceremonies and two integration sessions with our equine guides, you will experience the visionary path of working with psilocybin in a held, ceremonial space to release what is ready to fall away and make room for your soul’s purpose. Horses are masters of the "now." They help us translate the profound shifts of a medicine journey into a felt, bodily experience, guiding your heart to remain open long after the ceremony ends. Discovering that healing doesn't always require a roar—sometimes it is found in the soft nuzzle of a horse or the quiet unfolding of a fungal spore.

Your six-night immersion is held within our rainforest sanctuary, a space specifically curated for deep integration. Here, the transition from the "journey" to "daily life" is softened by the mist of the jungle, the warmth of the jacuzzi, and the silence of the meditative labyrinth.

You will leave this retreat feeling profoundly recalibrated—standing taller in your own truth, carrying the steady heartbeat of the horse within you, and possessing a clarified vision of the path ahead.

In partnership with Embracing Your Light, Soul & Saddle: A Journey of Hoofbeats and Healing Whispers with the Medicine of Psilocybin is your invitation to reclaim your peace, rediscover your joy, and create a life you truly love.

Come and listen to the whispers of the Earth. Let the medicine show you the way, and let the horses walk you home.

Sacred Sisterhood

An integrative plant medicine retreat for women
3 nights, 4 days

There is a depth of healing that can only happen when the guard is fully let down—when the soul feels safe enough to exhale. Sacred Sisterhood is an intimate call to the sisters who feel the stirrings of Grandmother Ayahuasca but seek a container of profound softness, feminine safety, and sacred silence to meet her.

In this women-only circle, we remove the external noise of the world to create a sanctuary where your rhythm is honored, your boundaries are sacred, and your healing is held with the tenderness of the Divine Feminine.

Our journey is guided by Soledad Guerra, baptized and blessed with the name Inirama by her Shipibo teachers in the Peruvian Amazon. With a lineage rooted in the gentle yet fierce wisdom of the jungle, Soledad weaves a space where "Abuela" (the Grandmother) can speak directly to your heart.

Surrounded by a small, intimate circle of sisters, you will find a space specifically curated for women to process, release, and reclaim their power without the presence of the masculine—ideal for those healing from past trauma or seeking to reconnect with their feminine essence. Traditional Icaros (healing songs) that act as a map through the visionary landscape, cleanse the spirit and anchor the light. With the support of the sisterhood, this is a shared journey where the collective energy of the women acts as a soft landing for your deepest revelations.

Beyond the ceremony, your three-day immersion is a sensory prayer. From the steam of the volcano-fed hot river to the vibrations of a therapeutic sound bath, every element is designed to soothe the nervous system and nourish the body.

You will leave this retreat feeling softened yet unshakable. You will carry with you a restored trust in your own intuition, the warmth of a new tribe of sisters, and the quiet, radiant peace of a woman who has finally returned home to herself.

If you are ready to answer the call of the Grandmother, step into the circle. Let yourself be held.

A Sanctuary Christmas

A soul-led Christmas getaway in the rainforest
5 nights, 6 days

Seeking a different kind of celebration? Christmas carries a unique weight for each of us. For some, it is a season of bustling tradition; for others, it is a time of quiet reflection, complex emotions, or a longing for something that feels more "true."

Whatever your relationship with this season—whether you are celebrating a new chapter or seeking refuge from the old—you do not need to explain yourself here.

‍We invite you to trade the cold for the canopy, and the noise for the quiet hearth of our rainforest sanctuary. This is an invitation to celebrate differently: to honor the end of your year with intention, to breathe with the trees, and to discover how beautiful the holidays can be when they are lived entirely on your own terms.

Nestled at the base of the Arenal Volcano, this retreat is designed to help you shed the weight of the past twelve months. Through the transformative power of breathwork and the soothing vibrations of sound healing, we create space for clarity to emerge.

Not just a vacation; this is a conscious bridge between the year that was and the year that is yet to be. You will leave feeling deeply nourished, spiritually aligned, and carrying a quiet, unshakable joy—ready to step into the New Year with a heart that has been truly heard.

Come exactly as you are. There is a seat at our table waiting for you.
