10 Day Shamanic Healing Retreat
July 11-20, 2025
in the Sacred Valley of Peru

with Shaman, TedX Speaker Johnson Chong
& Guest Q'ero Healers of the Andes Mountains

Become the Medicine that you Seek in the Sacred Valley ...

Having initiated with the paqos (indigenous healers of the Andean region), Peru always has a special place in my heart. It is timeless. The land is sweet, and she holds you in an unconditional embrace so that you can shed what no longer serves you, so that you can morph into the powerful being that you are. 

During this retreat, you will be connecting with the sacred medicines of Mother Ayahuasca for rebirth, and Grandfather Cactus Huachuma for ascension into ecstatic joy. 

You will engage with various indigenous healing ceremonies to the region, and work with the power animals of the medicine wheel to deepen your healing and to receive insights into your purpose.

This retreat is designed for those ONLY with a strong calling to evolve totally from the inside out, and to connect with their spirit through ancient ceremonial practices.
