About our Sacred Journey
On this sacred journey we will be holding very deep space and support one another. The shamans we'll be working with are very talented and open to work with the light workers of the West; they take their work very seriously, maintain a special diet and clean their spiritual space before, during and after the plant ceremonies. We will be operating from our multiple states of awareness during the whole journey.
The place where we'll be staying in Sacred Valley of the Incas is a very sophisticated yet simple and organic place that really makes you feel connected to Pachamama (Mother Earth). The Sacred Valley has been a source of spiritual renewal and exploration for thousands of years. The retreat is located at the base of a waterfall beneath trees and surrounded by organic gardens. Fresh herbs and vegetables are gathered for tasty meals and medicines. A variety of birds visit this place including many large magical hummingbirds that can only be found in Peru.
We highly recommend that you begin your preparation work three weeks before the trip and continue two weeks after Peru trip. The work we'll be doing is very powerful and the medicine acts as a cleanser at deep levels of the physical body as well as subtle bodies. If the body and subtle bodies (other energetic bodies) are toxic the medicine plant will be focusing on that first, so it is important to maintain your body (s) clean before working with the plant. The suggestions for cleansing the body are: eliminate or minimize the amount of caffeine, alcohol, meat (in particular red meat), (it is not hard to go vegetarian for a few weeks), white vinegar, sugar, spicy foods, heavy sodium, or any other toxic substances (drugs etc). Also it is recommended to harness your sexual energy. Set straight intention and take time to meditate, to center yourself and make the whole journey a pleasant and powerful one.

The medicine plant: Ayahuasca - the “Channel to the Invisible World
Ayahuasca allows the shaman to enter other dimensions where powerful healings, clairvoyance, initiations, ancestral knowledge exchange and communications with the plant, animal and spirit world is possible.
Ayahuasca is a cleansing medicine plant that works on different levels: it is a purge that cleanses the body from its toxins, it also frees the mind from different psychological traumas and is a tool to work on mankind's inner development. Diets are very important in the use of Ayahuaska and during ceremonies.
Master Healers who are initiated to use the “icaros” or Sacred Healing Chants to which they have access through the use of the Master Plant conduct these ceremonies.
The Ayahuasca is an ancestral medicine which, in some occasions, has the faculty of connecting some human beings with powers of the Spiritual Collective Consciousness, giving them access to primordial images or archetypes which influence humanity's most ancient, general and deep thoughts, as they are as much related with feelings as with thoughts. Furthermore, they possess something like their own independent life, as would that sort of partial soul that is described in all philosophical and Gnostic systems based on the perception of Higher Consciousness as the Source of Knowledge, as in Rudolf Steiner´s Anthroposophic Science of the Spirit, the representation of Angels, Archangels, Thrones and Dominations in Saint Paul's writings, of the Archons in ancient Greece and Realms of Light for the Gnostics, as well as of the Celestial Hierarchy in Dionisio Aeropagita, etc. All of these proceed from the perception of the relative independence of the Archetypes and dominating beings who evolve in Superior Realms and influence mankind's Spiritual Collective Consciousness. Ayahuasca, as it has the power of giving access to the dominating faculties of the collective unconscious mind, can be considered one of the most important tools for self-knowledge and as an option for humanity's spiritual development.
San Pedro (Hachuma) -- "visionary plant"
This Sacred Plant has been used for thousands of years by ancestral cultures and is one of the oldest magical plants from South America, where it grows in the mountains of the Andes. The effects of San Pedro are quite similar to that of peyote, but the spirit of San Pedro is more tranquil and in a certain way more friendly, and works especially healing and balancing on all the fluids in our body and also on our emotions, for example, it has strong anti-depressive and therapeutic qualities. The plant gives colorful visions and opens the heart in a very gentle and loving way.
Huachuma offers the option to some individuals to operate a connection with Archetypes and Dominant Forces of the Higher Collective Spiritual Consciousness. This powerful medicine can lead to states of Consciousness in which unconscious complexes deeply rooted within the human being, can be dissolved. However, in order to really obtain beneficial effects, it is necessary that its use should be complemented with techniques of psychic and spiritual mastery, which allow the achievement of a re-elaboration and re-integration of the altered state of consciousness which the person who has ingested the medicine has been lead to.
In contrast with the Ayahuasca, this medicine gives, in general, the capacity of movement and orientation in the light, intensifying one's senses and making them sharper. This is why many consumers of San Pedro like to use the medicine during daytime hikes in the mountains or in other natural landscapes. Huachuma is a Sacred Medicine which has allowed many “psychonauts” to undergo self-experiences; that is to say, consume the plant without the participation of a Shaman, Healer or experienced guide. However, in cases of physical or mental healing, it is always recommendable that the medicine should be administered by a duly trained and experienced Healer.
