Our next peyote retreat begins in

Participants will be picked up at San Luis Potosí Airport, arriving in the afternoon/evening to Real de Catorce. Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed by the retreat team, have time to settle in, and connect with other attendees while enjoying snacks and drinks.

Participants’ vital signs will be assessed, and they will have the opportunity to meet the marakame (shaman), therapists, coaches, and staff. Dinner will take place at one of the town’s restaurants, followed by a nighttime walk in Real de Catorce where, in winter, you can see the Milky Way in the night sky.

We start the day with a breathwork session, followed by an ice plunge and yoga. This is followed by a nutritious breakfast that begins to prepare the body for the sacred medicine experience. Afterwards there will be a workshop to create the tzicuri (God’s eye) that will be used during the ceremonies, and there we will have a presentation about the Wixarika cosmogony.

In the afternoon the participants will have 1:1 preparation sessions with the coaches and therapists and will have the opportunity to spend time with our invited marakame (Shaman), as well as a sunset meditation session followed by dinner and gathering and circle of gratitude.

We’ll start the day with a mindful breathing session, followed by an ice plunge and Qigong, and then continue with a breakfast in accordance with the ceremony’s recommendations. Weather permitting, we’ll go on a peyote hunt in the Wirikuta Desert; otherwise, we’ll hold a workshop on making a Tzicury (a talisman for the ceremony).

After lunch, guests will be able to participate in sessions to prepare for the ceremony, as well as Thai massages, biomagnetism, and binaural therapy. We will arrive at the ceremonial center before sunset.

Preparing the body and mind, as well as watching the sunset, mark the beginning of the ceremony. Once night falls, the ceremony begins and includes 5 shamanic chants and up to 5 doses of peyote. We conclude the ceremony at sunrise.

At this ceremony, our guests have their “aha!” moment; they realize the burdens they’ve been carrying—the traumas, the source of their emotional baggage—and it marks their awakening to a new life.

After a long night, we start the day at noon with optional sessions of yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, and Qigong. We share lunch with the marakame and begin the integration process with one-on-one sessions with the coaches and therapists. In the afternoon, before dinner, we’ll have a group integration session, meditation, a gratitude circle, and immersive cultural activities.

The day begins with meditation, breathing exercises, an ice plunge, and yoga, followed by a nutritious and balanced breakfast as part of the preparation for the second ceremony. Afterward, weather permitting, we will visit Cerro del Quemado, which is the main ritual center of the Wixarika.

The afternoon is a time for personal reflection, decompression, and aligning mind, body, and spirit for the second ceremony. At 10:00 p.m., we’ll head to the ceremonial center, where we’ll begin the ceremony at 10:30 p.m. and conclude at sunrise.

It is during this second ceremony that most of our guests experience a profound purification, freeing themselves from the burdens, responsibilities, and sadness they had been carrying.

After a long night, we start the day at noon with optional sessions of yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, and Qigong. We share lunch with the marakame and begin the integration process with one-on-one sessions with the coaches and therapists. In the afternoon, before dinner, we’ll have a group integration session, meditation, and a gratitude circle.

Our guests will be able to participate in private spiritual guidance sessions with our marakame, and they may also choose to participate in a group integration session.

Our last day of the retreat begins with meditation, mindful breathing, an ice plunge, and yoga session. We continue with breakfast and a special session with the coaches or therapists to design a plan for change and integration. We share lunch and come together in a circle of gratitude for our teachers, guides, and support staff. The return trip from Real de Catoce to San Luis Potosí is scheduled from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Integration is what allows us to create lasting change; that’s why you don’t leave alone—you take home a toolkit and the opportunity to schedule 10 online integration sessions with your coach or therapist.
