Life-Transforming Journeys Guided by Plant Wisdom

OVERVIEW

Our three-nights Sacred Earth retreats are led by traditional healers from Colombia's oldest indigenous tribes, providing a safe space to explore Mother Earth’s greatest gift — the Sacred Plant. We carefully select our guides based on personal experiences, evaluating their energy, healing practices, deep connection to their medicine, and respect for their traditions. We have walked with deep gratitude beside Taita Jamir Rada Flores, a wisdom keeper of his people; with Taita Mauricio and Taita Benjamin Chasoy; and with Richard Benito Chasoy, honoured elder of the Inga lineage in the heart of the Colombian Amazon. Each has carried the ancient teachings with humility and strength, offering us guidance rooted in spirit, land, and ancestry. 

Guided by the Sacred Medicine, the inward journey into expanded consciousness becomes a profound and transformative experience. Personal healing unlocks pathways to address past wounds, internal knots, emotional blockages, and recurring patterns of behaviour. This process illuminates the unseen currents that have guided our lives, opening the way for a compassionate meeting with our past, our stories, and the emotions held within. It becomes a path of healing — both individual and collective — reconnecting us to purpose and contributing to the evolution of shared consciousness.

Through the sacred remedy’s unconditional love, its infinite gentleness, and its ancient, evolutionary wisdom, we are held in a space where self-judgment dissolves. Slowly, we learn to meet the depths of who we are with tenderness — with acceptance, empathy, and compassion. In this sacred unfolding, we gather and reconcile fragmented parts of ourselves, guiding us toward wholeness and integration — both within our inner landscape, but also in the way we relate to one another, to all beings, and to the living world around us. Here, we remember that our journey has always been guided. This paves the way for a deeper understanding of the inherent perfection in your journey, paving the way for growth, healing, and evolution to arise in their own divine rhythm, exactly as they are meant to.

Our Sacred Earth retreats honour our beloved Mother Earth. A portion of the proceeds is donated to a project of protection of the Earth and territories where medicinal plants thrive. 

Safeguard, Honour, and Protect the Earth.

THE APPROACH 

Ceremonies are offered in the traditional way, rooted in the understanding that physical illness and emotional suffering are often crystallisations of imbalance within the energetic and spiritual realms. As you journey inward, healing unfolds through the cleansing of the subtle bodies — the invisible currents that accompany us across lifetimes and shape the unfolding of our soul’s path.

Within these realms lie patterns and imprints that quietly influence our destiny, creating cycles in which similar experiences, challenges, and emotional landscapes repeat across time and generations. Through the wisdom of the sacred plant, we are guided to release what no longer serves our evolution: unseen loyalties, ancestral wounds, karmic entanglements, vows and contracts from other lifetimes, and energetic bonds inherited or acquired along the way. 

In this sacred process, we reclaim our inner sovereignty — stepping forward with greater clarity, freedom, and alignment with the true purpose of our soul. 

We invite you to explore our testimonials and hear directly from those who have walked this path with us.

"I really appreciated the support before the retreat. It was very reassuring to be able to ask all questions. During the retreat, we were taken care of with lots of kindness and respect. Everything went smoothly in a relaxed atmosphere with empathy and kindness."

— Anne, Switzerland, April 2023 —

THE WORK 

Our retreats provide nurturing and sacred spaces for transformation. As we awaken to deeper layers of awareness, we return to the harmony that lives within, allowing our authentic self to emerge and take form in our lives. These sacred plants shine the light of consciousness, illuminating parts of our lives—our inner selves, relationships, and shadows. Yet they do not act for us. They do not change the structures around us, nor bypass the work that belongs to our own soul. Instead, this evolutionary intelligence extends a gentle and respectful invitation for us to step forward, to participate actively and consciously in our transformation, and to embody the changes we seek. It empowers us to be the catalysts for transformation within ourselves and our earthly realm, connecting the dots of our soul's journey across dimensions and fostering personal and collective transformation.  

THE SUPPORT AND ACCOMPANIMENT

We honour each participant as a unique being, and we take great care to understand your individual needs so that we may offer support in the most meaningful and personalised way. We pour our hearts into cultivating an atmosphere of love and trust and in creating a space where experiences can be shared openly and where each voice is welcomed with authenticity, we foster an atmosphere rooted in compassion, presence, and profound respect. With devotion and integrity, our team is available throughout your stay, providing presence to support you emotionally and spiritually on your journey — holding you with gentleness, love, and trust as you move through your inner process. Our commitment does not end when the retreat closes; we remain by your side as you continue to integrate, grow, and expand. We are deeply committed to the teachings and wisdom of the plants, ensuring the utmost dedication and responsibility in guiding your journey. 

We offer individual integrative sessions for those seeking additional guidance and support. As part of your ongoing process of growth and integration, we provide three follow-up video calls to help you deepen your understanding, integrate insights, and continue your journey with clarity and care.

  • When you are ready, you will find the Way. We understand that each soul finds its perfect place for growth and evolution.

    If you're considering joining a retreat but have uncertainties, sometimes the best approach is to talk to someone. By openly discussing your concerns, doubts, and sharing your personal journey, you can gain clarity in your decision-making process.

    If you'd like to discuss any aspects of your personal journey, our team, or any other facets of the retreat, we offer the option of scheduling a video call or reaching out through WhatsApp/Telegram.

  • For millennia, the sacred remedy has served as a profound conduit between the spiritual and physical realms, offering potent avenues for holistic healing. It has a long history of use in indigenous Amazonian cultures for spiritual purposes by individuals seeking profound personal revelations, heightened self-awareness, and a profound exploration of the inner workings of their consciousness.

    In contemporary times, it has emerged as a therapeutic agent, demonstrating promise in addressing a wide spectrum of challenges including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain, addiction, and end-of-life anxiety. Those who embark on this journey frequently report transformative outcomes, encompassing emotional healing from past traumas, an enhanced sense of self-acceptance, and positive transformations in familial and relational dynamics.

    This evolutionary journey culminates in a profound comprehension of life's inherent harmony, fostering personal growth, spiritual evolution, and an enduring inner serenity.

  • Your safety and well-being are of paramount importance to us. We are committed to providing you with an enriching and secure experience throughout your stay with us.

    Here are some key aspects of our retreat that underscore our dedication to your safety:

    1. Limited Group Size: Each retreat group will consist of a maximum of 15 participants, ensuring an intimate and closely-knit community. On average, we host between 8 and 10 participants per retreat. This deliberate choice of small numbers allows us to maintain a high level of safety and offer you personalized attention during your time with us.

    2. Experienced Guides: Our ceremonies are expertly guided by one or two Taita from Colombia, individuals who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in working with sacred plants. Additionally, we always have an English/French speaking assistant present to provide vital support and guidance during the healing process.

    3. Medical Expertise: We recognize the importance of addressing the unique medical needs of our participants. For individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, we collaborate with a Consultative Doctor who specializes in the use of entheogen for the improvement of health and well-being. This medical expert will assess your suitability for the retreat from a medical standpoint. To best serve you, please communicate any medical concerns or requirements to our team so that we can offer tailored guidance, keeping your safety as our top priority.

    4. Supportive Environment: Throughout the retreat, we foster a nurturing and supportive atmosphere where participants can openly share their experiences and insights. We also provide follow-up calls after the retreat to ensure that your integration process is well-supported and continues smoothly.

    5. Pre-Retreat Preparations: To prepare for the retreat, participants are required to adhere to a specific diet and abstain from any mind-altering substances both before and after the retreat. This dietary regimen is an essential part of the process and contributes to the safety and effectiveness of your experience. Additionally, completing our health questionnaire and familiarizing yourself with common side effects of sacred plant ceremonies is crucial for your understanding and well-being.

  • Setting Your Intentions:

    At the heart of your journey lies the profound power of intention. Take a moment to delve deep within your soul, reflect on your aspirations, fears, and hopes. What transformations do you seek? What burdens do you yearn to release? With sincerity and clarity, craft your intentions.

    These intentions shall serve as the compass guiding you through your journey, unlocking the healing, wisdom, and spiritual growth that await. In the stillness of your heart, set forth your intentions, and let them illuminate your path to profound self-discovery.

    Intention Setting is discussed during our first call.

  • Diet Requirement:

    We kindly request that you adhere to a vegetarian diet in the days or weeks leading up to the retreat. This dietary choice aligns with the sacred nature of all things. Please click to access our detailed dietary guidelines, which will provide valuable support for your preparation.

    It is essential to avoid ingesting liquor, cigarettes, cocaine, marijuana, or any kind of mind-altering substances at least 3 days before the retreat.

    Upon booking, we will provide you with a comprehensive booklet featuring an array of heart-warming vegetarian recipe.

    Other Requirements:

    Ideally, refrain from engaging in sexual relations for at least 2 to 3 days before the retreat. This practice is crucial to preserving your maximum energy.

  • The integrative process that follows the taking of any consciousness expanding-medicine is akin to assembling the pieces of a puzzle, bridging our individual experiences with the broader canvas of existence. This transformative process demands time, patience, dedication, keen self-observation, and ample self-care.

    To ground these profound insights, it is essential to translate them into tangible actions and daily practices. By creating distance from our emotional processes, adopting the role of a sincere observer of inner states, their functioning, and all mental reflections, we can progressively transmute these inner shifts into an "effective reality".

    Master or power plants help bring forth challenging feelings or emotions and latent unconscious material, open ourselves up so for us to begin own personal surgery after the retreat.

    Sharing your experience with fellow participants, express our feeling and knowing that support is just a call away is invaluable. We offer three 30-minute video calls after the retreat, scheduled at your convenience. But our commitment to your well-being extends beyond these calls; we regularly organize community events for all retreat participants.
