Join us August 27th-30th in Grass Valley California for a small private men’s retreat where we will have an opportunity to work with master plant teachers to reset, harmonize our energies within, and connect to deeper levels of truth and integrity in a safe space where we give ourselves permission to go deep within and do the work together.

August 27th - arrival and dinner.

On August 28th we will be working with the frog medicine of Kambo. Kambo description from David. Breathwork description from Michael.

On August 29th will be working with the Grandfather medicine of Huachuma - the sacred cactus of the Andes. This medicine creates powerful healing and clarity at all levels, while opening the heart to the beauty of life and offering a higher perspective that empowers the individual to take inspired action in their life. We will working all day with this medicine and spend most of our day outside on the land, connecting with nature and making offerings and prayers to the land and connecting with one another through specific embodiment exercises I have received over the years of working with this medicine. As day turns to night, we will transition into an evening of ecstatic dance live DJed by David, followed by a fire ceremony and opportunity for all to be witnessed in their prayers.

This cactus comes from the Sacred Valley of Peru and is grown seed to cactus for 7-9 years by my teachers. Then I take the cactus and cook it down for 3-5 days; removing all of the plant matter and concentrating it into a tea (making it very easy to drink, reducing nausea and making it stronger). It is extremely potent and beautiful medicine and unlike other Huachuma you have had before when in this form, and I am honored and privileged to share it with you.
