working with psilocybe
The mushroom psilocybe, Carne de Dios o Ninos Santos as know in the Mazateca tradition of northern Oaxaca is a sacred and sentient being. It has a spirit, it is a gift to all. A very profound teacher plant yet incredibly gentle on the physical body.
This fungi has been used for thousands of years by the native people of North America and many others indigenous communities of the world to receive guidance and sacred teachings from the the spiritual world, the ancestors, from the forces of the liminal world. Healing, self-transformation, expanded consciousness and self-development are all possible outcomes of working with Psilocybin in an appropriate setting with a well-focused intention.
The original land of Joshua Tree that belongs to the Cahuilla, Mojave and Serrano tribes becomes our home during our retreats of medicine
Psilocybin Cubensis is the strain of sacred medicine we use in our ceremonies and therapies
Weekend retreat, includes shared accommodations, Ayurvedic meals, yoga, ceremony, and integration process.
PLANT MEDICINE RETREAT WITH THE NIÑOS SANTOS
Dear future member of our tribe,
Welcome to a beautiful weekend of spiritual practices.
Join us as we co-create an unforgettable adventure of deep holistic healing based in sacred reciprocity and what it means to live in harmony with nature and with each other. Come to reconnect to your own personal power and discover the potential you have to heal yourself, all with the help of the plantas de poder, the master plants. We journey together creating tribe in the sacred circle of a ceremony. Our allies, the sacred tobacco, the abuelo Fuego, mother water, brother wind, the ancestors and spirits of the land and the sacred medicine, under the stars and in the heart of the desert. These gatherings are aimed at healing from a cellular level, we work with a purpose and an intention to create a container of trust that facilitates physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional transformation. This is profound work of resetting our compass and reclaiming our sovereignty, rooted in the combined traditions and wisdom from our elders of both North and South America.
~ What to expect?~
You will be welcomed by the team on Friday afternoon. After setting into your room or air streamer we will get together for a welcoming dinner. A large part of working with the plants of power is the sense of connection and community they foster. This is a great opportunity to meet your practitioners, to learn who your community for the weekend is and to get acquainted with the sacred land that welcomes us and its spirit ancestors, as we create our first circle of word and start building tribe.
The ceremony is held in the late afternoon of Saturday after sunset. Penumbra light allows you to enter the energetic field where the medicine will do its work. Many refer to this as shadow work. In this time the veil between the visible and invisible world is thin or sometimes non-existent.
Our ceremony is held outdoors around the abuelo Fuego. The lineage and traditions of our elders are respected and followed as we create a sacred ritual space where energies and frequencies will be called upon. We will sing and chant, we will create a circle of connection and contention to call on the power of the medicine and of the ancient traditions.
We work with very small groups to allow for maximum individual care.
~ The package ~
Included on the weekend of transformation is a private assessment prior to the gathering. I will get to know you and create a protocol of prior to the gathering to help you maximize your experience, I will guide you in refining your intention in order to calibrate your exact dosage and give you personalized attention during important parts of the ceremony.
All shared accommodations, Ayurvedic meals, yoga class, practices and use of the facilities are part of the package.
Included is the integration session the next day and into the following weeks to help you start consolidating the teachings of the medicine.
Blessed be your courage to take flight upon new inner and outer landscapes!
Joshua Trees surround the space where we gather. They are our allies and protectors, they guard the fire and the sacred circle
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TRAUMA WE LOOK INTO SHADOW WORK AND ANCESTRAL HEALING
Ancestral healing is synonymous with generational healing; with the help of the mushroom and its own intelligence we are able to access this modality of healing not only from a psychological and neurological perspective but incorporating a spiritual approach as well. The origin of ancestral healing is innate to the human experience and to our cultural belonging. No matter our background, we all have traditional, cultural, authentic, and indigenous ways of honoring our heritage and a responsibility to our children to heal generational trauma, to become well seated ancestors one day.
Aspects of ancestral healing include honoring the lands where we come from, reflecting on the lived lives of our relatives, accessing womb healing and in-uterus stored memories. Many of us don’t even realize that we’re repeating patterns from our mothers, fathers, let alone the people from generations so far back that we aren’t even aware of their names, or from the dynamics of conquerors and colonized cultures that have left an imprint on our karmic blueprint. If you are dreaming to see something different in your own life, different from that of your family line, or are looking to do it in a specific way and are still feeling stuck — it is probably a good idea to explore ancestral trauma healing from the container we have created.
With the help of the medicine and of specific practices we teach you, we get deep into old blockages stored in your cells, into the memory of your lineage and that can be acknowledged and released. This is not a one time solution, it’s a process that takes commitment, dedication, skillful practice, and attention.
Ancestral lineage healing is a spiritually-grounded, ritual process that empowers you to connect, repair, and nurture relationships with your own wise and loving ancestors and rid yourself of patters of behavior, pain, trauma.
We carry these burdens in our physical and subtle bodies - but we carry the blessings and gifts of our abuelos as well. The lineage repair process opens a pathway to your roots to fuel the transformation and the full embodiment of your gifts from the ground up.
OUR PURPOSE IS TO CREATE AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE

“AYNI – the force of reciprocity. The Andean tradition is extremely flexible and, above all, spacious. It has structure, but no rigid rules and dogmas. Therefore, only one commandment or moral rule exists in the Incan tradition: the law of AYNI– the sacred art of reciprocity. Ayni is simply a reflection of the reality that exists in the energy world, where everything is mutually connected and interrelated: the exchange of energy that we constantly share with each other, nature, the elements and the cosmos.
Simply put: “When you give something, you can get something back, and when you get something you have an obligation to reciprocate and give something back.” It is about lifting each other up to higher levels so that everyone grows. It is about sharing knowledge and wisdom so that humanity grows and our common harmony is strengthened.
”
Beds or private air streamers are on a first come first serve basis. We always strive to make our retreats small in size to better assist everyone in attendance. 15 participants is our cap; we will always try to accommodate you and make your experience as comfortable as possible. However please keep in mind, the sooner you sign up, the better your chances are to secure the room of your choice.
Bathrooms are shared.
WHAT TO BRING
Recommended dress code for ceremony: long dress or long skirt for women, pants for men. If you wish to enjoy the pool bring a swimsuit and towel. Pack a yoga mat and comfortable clothes for our morning yoga session. Keep in mind that the temperatures in the desert during winter can be cold and unpredictable, layer up, bring thick socks, hat, sweaters and anything else that will keep you warm and comfortable.
When packing, simplicity is key. Bring along as little as is necessary. No need to pack any distractions. Here’s our typical packing list: Clothes and shoes for one day, toiletries, hat & sunscreen, outerwear, blankets for the evening ceremony, journal, pen.
The communal breakfast is a large part of the tradition and the time when we as a group sit to enjoy the end of the long night and the start of the new day by sharing the ‘alimentos’. As a sign of gratitude and connectedness with the pacha mama and our fellow participants, we kindly request that everyone brings a healthy homemade dish to share for our Sunday morning meal.
In the middle of the space where we will gather, there will be an altar. You are welcome to bring any objects you feel represent your purpose working with the medicine; anything you want blessed, natural objects or pictures.
As part of the offering, after booking your spot you are automatically welcomed to reserve a one on one online consultation with me to help you prepare for the experience by addressing any issues or health concerns prior to the ceremony.
Make sure you book those for yourself right after securing your spot.
