SACRED EARTH RETREAT

Colombian Shamanic Healing Journey

“Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow other to make your path for you. It is your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you”.

Life-Transforming Journeys Guided by Plant Wisdom

OVERVIEW

Our two or three-nights Sacred Earth retreats are led by traditional healers from Colombia's oldest indigenous tribes, providing a safe space to explore Mother Earth’s greatest gift - the Sacred Plant. We carefully select our guides based on personal experiences, evaluating their energy, healing practices, deep connection to their medicine, and respect for their traditions. We are honoured to collaborate with Taita Jamir Rada Flores, an esteemed elder from his community, Taita Mauricio and, Taita Richard Benito Chasoy from the Colombian Amazon, a respected elder from the Inga Community.

Guided by the Sacred Remedy, the introspective journey into an expanded state of consciousness is deeply transformative. Personal healing unlocks pathways to address past wounds, internal knots, emotional blockages, and recurring patterns of behaviour. The process heightens our awareness of the unconscious forces that have shaped our lives, fostering a deeper reconciliation with ourselves, our past, and the events and circumstances that have influenced our inner being. The journey nurtures both individual and collective healing, strengthening our connection to life's purpose and elevating our shared consciousness. Through the sacred remedy’s unconditional love, infinite gentleness, and evolutionary intelligence, we are able to explore the depths of ourselves without judgment, embracing acceptance, empathy, and compassion. Our focus is on reconciling fragmented parts of ourselves, guiding us toward wholeness and integration—both within ourselves and in our relationships with all beings and the natural world. This paves the way for a deeper understanding of the inherent perfection in your journey, paving the way for growth and evolution.

Our Sacred Earth retreats honour our beloved Mother Earth. A portion of the proceeds is donated to a project of protection of the Earth and territories where medicinal plants thrive. 

THE APPROACH 

It is essential to understand that the ceremonies are offered in a traditional way, where all illnesses and ailments are physical crystallisations occurring in the energetic and spiritual realms. Alongside your personal inner process, healing takes place by cleansing the subtle bodies, these invisible threads within the continuum of our soul journey. There exists hidden way directly affecting the development of our lives, creating loops where identical events, circumstances, and situations perpetuate across generations. With the wisdom of the sacred plant, we are able to liberate ourselves from unseen loyalties, past lives contracts, karmic debts or vows, transgenerational legacies, and all energetic bonds that no longer support our journey towards evolution, healing, and freedom.

We value each participant as a unique individual, and it's imperative for us to understand your specific needs in order to provide tailored support. By fostering an environment where experiences are shared openly and each member contributes with authenticity, we create a nurturing space infused with healing, compassion, and love. Our dedication is unwavering in accompanying you on your personal journey. With genuine care, we pour our hearts into cultivating an atmosphere of love and trust, which nurtures the evolution of consciousness and the opening of the heart. Rest assured, our team remains committed to supporting you even beyond the retreat, throughout your ongoing process of growth and integration.

"I really appreciated the support before the retreat. It was very reassuring to be able to ask all questions. During the retreat, we were taken care of with lots of kindness and respect. Everything went smoothly in a relaxed atmosphere with empathy and kindness."

— Anne, Switzerland, April 2023 —

THE WORK 

Our retreats provide nurturing spaces for the energy of transformation. By embracing a newfound awareness of ourselves, we can connect to inner harmony, allowing us to authentically embrace our true selves. These sacred plants shine the light of consciousness, illuminating parts of our lives—our inner selves, relationships, and shadows—but they won't do the work on our behalf or alter the external systems around us. Instead, this evolutionary intelligence extends a gentle and respectful invitation for us to manifest change, actively participate in bringing about change, and co-create a new humanity. It empowers us to be the catalysts for transformation within ourselves and our earthly realm, connecting the dots of our soul's journey across dimensions and fostering personal and collective transformation.  

THE SUPPORT AND ACCOMPANIMENT

We value each participant as a unique individual, and it's essential for us to understand your specific needs in order to provide tailored support. By sharing openly, each member contributes with authenticity to the group dynamics. We pour our hearts into cultivating an atmosphere of love and trust and create a nurturing space of healing and compassion.  Our team is available throughout your stay, providing presence to support you emotionally and spiritually.  We are deeply committed to the teachings and wisdom of the plants, ensuring the utmost dedication and responsibility in guiding your journey. 

We offer options for individual integrative sessions for those needing extra attention. Our team remains committed to supporting you beyond the retreat, throughout your ongoing process of growth and integration offering three follow-up video calls at two-week intervals to support your integrative process.

It has a long history of use in indigenous Amazonian cultures for spiritual purposes by individuals seeking profound personal revelations, heightened self-awareness, and a profound exploration of the inner workings of their consciousness.

    In contemporary times, it has emerged as a therapeutic agent, demonstrating promise in addressing a wide spectrum of challenges including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain, addiction, and end-of-life anxiety. Those who embark on this journey frequently report transformative outcomes, encompassing emotional healing from past traumas, an enhanced sense of self-acceptance, and positive transformations in familial and relational dynamics.

  • Your safety and well-being are of paramount importance to us. We are committed to providing you with an enriching and secure experience throughout your stay with us.

    Here are some key aspects of our retreat that underscore our dedication to your safety:

    1. Limited Group Size: Each retreat group will consist of a maximum of 15 participants, ensuring an intimate and closely-knit community. On average, we host between 8 and 10 participants per retreat. This deliberate choice of small numbers allows us to maintain a high level of safety and offer you personalized attention during your time with us.

    2. Experienced Guides: Our ceremonies are expertly guided by one or two Taita from Colombia, individuals who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in working with sacred plants. Additionally, we always have an English/French speaking assistant present to provide vital support and guidance during the healing process.

    3. Medical Expertise: We recognize the importance of addressing the unique medical needs of our participants. For individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, we collaborate with a Consultative Doctor who specializes in the use of entheogen for the improvement of health and well-being. This medical expert will assess your suitability for the retreat from a medical standpoint. To best serve you, please communicate any medical concerns or requirements to our team so that we can offer tailored guidance, keeping your safety as our top priority.

    4. Supportive Environment: Throughout the retreat, we foster a nurturing and supportive atmosphere where participants can openly share their experiences and insights. We also provide follow-up calls after the retreat to ensure that your integration process is well-supported and continues smoothly.

    5. Pre-Retreat Preparations: To prepare for the retreat, participants are required to adhere to a specific diet and abstain from any mind-altering substances both before and after the retreat. This dietary regimen is an essential part of the process and contributes to the safety and effectiveness of your experience. Additionally, completing our health questionnaire and familiarizing yourself with common side effects of sacred plant ceremonies is crucial for your understanding and well-being.

  • Setting Your Intentions:

    At the heart of your journey lies the profound power of intention. Take a moment to delve deep within your soul, reflect on your aspirations, fears, and hopes. What transformations do you seek? What burdens do you yearn to release? With sincerity and clarity, craft your intentions.

    These intentions shall serve as the compass guiding you through your journey, unlocking the healing, wisdom, and spiritual growth that await. In the stillness of your heart, set forth your intentions, and let them illuminate your path to profound self-discovery.

    Intention Setting is discussed during our first call.

  • Diet Requirement:

    We kindly request that you adhere to a vegetarian diet in the days or weeks leading up to the retreat. This dietary choice aligns with the sacred nature of all things. Please click to access our detailed dietary guidelines, which will provide valuable support for your preparation.

    It is essential to avoid ingesting liquor, cigarettes, cocaine, marijuana, or any kind of mind-altering substances at least 3 days before the retreat.

    Upon booking, we will provide you with a comprehensive booklet featuring an array of heart-warming vegetarian recipe.

    Other Requirements:

    Ideally, refrain from engaging in sexual relations for at least 2 to 3 days before the retreat. This practice is crucial to preserving your maximum energy.

  • The integrative process that follows the taking of any consciousness expanding-medicine is akin to assembling the pieces of a puzzle, bridging our individual experiences with the broader canvas of existence. This transformative process demands time, patience, dedication, keen self-observation, and ample self-care.

    To ground these profound insights, it is essential to translate them into tangible actions and daily practices. By creating distance from our emotional processes, adopting the role of a sincere observer of inner states, their functioning, and all mental reflections, we can progressively transmute these inner shifts into an "effective reality".

    Master or power plants help bring forth challenging feelings or emotions and latent unconscious material, open ourselves up so for us to begin own personal surgery after the retreat.

    Sharing your experience with fellow participants, express our feeling and knowing that support is just a call away is invaluable. We offer three 30-minute video calls after the retreat, scheduled at your convenience. But our commitment to your well-being extends beyond these calls; we regularly organize community events for all retreat participants.
