Immersive Retreats
Retreats are immersive containers designed for deep inner work, lived inquiry, and direct engagement with life.
They are opportunities to step out of daily patterns and enter a shared field of practice — in nature, in community, and at times within Indigenous cultural contexts — where the work you are already doing can be met more fully.
These are not escapes.
They are places of encounter.
The role of retreats
Retreats serve as immersive deep dives into work that is already alive.
Participants often arrive through mentorship, cohorts, or their own inner path, bringing real questions, lived challenges, and ongoing processes into a concentrated environment of practice.
Time in nature, shared ritual, silence, dialogue, and community allows insight to move beyond understanding and into direct experience.
What distinguishes this work
These retreats are not designed as workshops, festivals, or “experiences to consume.”
They are held as serious containers for inner work — work that requires presence, courage, humility, and strength.
Participants are invited into sustained engagement with themselves, with one another, and with the natural and ceremonial environments that hold the retreat. The depth of the work is matched by the integrity of the container.
Practice, ceremony, and medicine
Some retreats include intentional work with plant medicines and ceremonial practices.
Medicines that may be present include Ayahuasca, Yagé, Huachuma (San Pedro), Psilocybin, Cannabis, and Kambo. These are held within carefully structured ceremonial containers, in relationship with Indigenous lineages and experienced facilitators.
Lineages that have informed this work include Brazilian, Cofán, Huni Kuin, Ingano, Peruvian, Shipibo and Siona traditions. These relationships are approached with deep respect, humility, and responsibility.
Not all retreats include medicine. Each retreat is clearly defined in advance.
Format and structure
Retreats vary in length depending on location, medicine, and modality, typically ranging from 3 to 11 days.
Groups are intentionally kept small, usually 6 to 8 participants, with a maximum of 15, to preserve intimacy, safety, and relational depth.
Retreats are often aligned with natural and energetic cycles, including solstices and other significant thresholds.
Retreats are held in environments that support depth, simplicity, and connection.
Locations may include desert and mountain regions such as Joshua Tree, Sedona, Mount Shasta, and the Pacific Northwest, as well as jungle and mountain settings in Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru, and Brazil.
Settings are chosen for natural beauty, remoteness, and basic comfort — places that mirror the rawness and immediacy of the work itself.
Locations and environments
Preparation and integration
Each retreat is supported by a structured preparation and integration process.
Participants receive 30 days of preparation support, including two one-to-one sessions and two group calls focused on intention setting, tools, and readiness.
Following the retreat, participants receive 30 days of integration support, including two one-to-one integration sessions and two group calls to support the translation of insight into daily life.
Participants are also invited into a private community space for ongoing connection and support.
Discernment and readiness
Retreats are accessed through a discernment-based process.
Priority is given to those already engaged in mentorship or cohorts, though some retreats are open to new participants by application.
These retreats are not designed for entertainment or spectacle. They tend not to serve those seeking a “Disneyland” experience of spirituality or medicine.
A genuine openness to growth, responsibility, and self-inquiry is essential.
Investment and access
Retreat pricing is contextual and reflects location, duration, lodging, facilitation, ceremonial support, and preparation and integration care.
These retreats are designed to be accessible but serious, and are typically positioned in the low-mid thousands range for longer immersive containers.
Details are shared during the application and discernment process.
Limited scholarships may be offered in alignment with reciprocity and service.
