San Pedro ceremonies begin at the "The Chakra", Kamalas incredible sanctuary space that sits directly in front of the the Temple surrounded by hundreds of San Pedro Cacti and grazing alpacas. After setting intentions and prayers, we drink the sacred medicine together and make our way into the Temple where we spend the entire day free to explore and experience the magic of the Temple.
Enjoy intimate time in the many different alters and sacred ceremonial spots around the Temple. As the sun sets we return to The Chakra to enjoy a large bonfire together with live ceremony music. We share a delicious meal as we connect under the mountain stars. We sleep in cozy individual huts on ceremony nights and reconvene in the morning for breakfast and integration before returning to our hotel.
Between ceremonies, we return to our cozy hotel in the heart of the quaint Andean town of Chavín, a peaceful space for rest, integration, and rejuvenation.
Here you’ll have the time and quiet needed to settle into your experience, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
Just steps from the hotel is our beloved little café, where we gather for nourishing home-cooked meals prepared with care. It’s a simple, welcoming environment that supports the softness and depth of the retreat comfort, community, and calm all in one place.

San Pedro works slowly and gradually in the system and therefore requires the entire day. Often moving through what are called"waves" of teachings, where the medicine comes and goes through out the ceremony. Often revealing different aspects of our lives and understandings that require attention.
San Pedros effects can last up to 8 hours. Not to be feared though, as San Pedro is known for being the most gentle, heart opening and forgiving of all plant medicines. It is powerfully gentle, and gently powerful.
San Pedro provides guidance and support, allowing participants to explore their inner selves at a manageable pace. As the effects gradually subside, the ceremony transitions into an integration phase, where participants reflect, share insights, and honor the collective journey. Post-ceremony support is offered to guide the integration of newfound insights into daily life.
