PRIVATE CEREMONY

 Private ceremonies are deeply intimate co-creations between me and the participants, every one unique and specific based on the individual. We start by getting on a call to deeply listen and understand where you are at, and see how I can best support you in your journey of becoming and revealing more of your radiant nature. Once I have this information, I customize the ceremony based on your specific needs; including the structure of the ceremony, the tools I will use, and the medicine that will be served.

I primarily serve Huachuma (San Pedro) - 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 some of our day outside if possible, 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 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 teacher. Then I take the cactus and cook it down for 5-6 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. 

I also serve Sassafrass - allowing us to reprogram and rewire our beliefs systems. This a specially formulated alchemical empathogenic plant medicine synergized to help open the heart and access deep blockages held within the emotional body, with the profound and unique capacity to do so without needing to go into the trauma itself (or the emotional reaction to it) as it turns off the amygdala (part of your brain responsible for the fight or flight response). This is what makes this medicine so unique and so powerful. We will be combining the heart medicine with Master Plant Teacher Bobinsana. Bobinsana is a shrub with bright pink flowers that grows by the fresh waters of the Amazon, and she carries the energy of the Cosmic Mermaid, la sirenita. Bobinsana is a feminine heart opening plant that fosters empathy, compassion, connection to nature and spiritual grounding. She is also a weaver of dreams, helping us to receive powerful messages and teachings through the dream space. It is said that the spirit of the Bobinsana plant can provide comfort to those experiencing loss, heartbreak or grief. Bobinsana has also been used as a key ingredient in brews by curanderas to assist the patient to dissolve the barriers of time, and to be able to travel mentally to the moment the trauma happened, a practice also known as ‘soul retrieval.’

ABOUT THE CEREMONY

The ceremony will be guided and accompanied by live music, sound healing and prayer. In order to work with this medicine at the next level of its potential, I will be facilitating a unique quantum energy work to clarify what it is you desire to create in your life, remove whatever is in the way and start moving towards it. This process and its capacity to pair with this medicine in particular is what makes these ceremonies so profound. It's my belief and experience that this medicine can unlock incredible amounts of creative potential, so there will be an emphasis and opportunity for you to sing, express and pray (if you wish); to share what is in your heart and fill the space with your essence. After a full night of ceremony we will come together in the morning for a sharing circle.

DONATION AND DETAILS

The donation per person, per ceremony is $3333, or if you pay in full, then you will receive a 10% discount as reflected below ($3k per person, per ceremony).

You may choose to do just one ceremony and choose which medicine you would like to work with (Huachuma or Sassafrass) or you may do two ceremonies, in which case the first ceremony will be Huachuma, followed by a rest day in between, and then a Sassafras ceremony on the third day (you may also do two Huachuma ceremonies).

I am the lead facilitator running all ceremonies and I will also bring in one guardian to support the circle, of which has been trained by me personally through my 8 month EMERGENCE Facilitator Training program inside of The Temple of the Eagle and Condor. Depending on the number of participants in the private ceremony, I may also bring on a 2nd guardian or musical support. These are extremely high level ceremonies with intensive training provided to create a space of the upmost care, integrity, depth and attention to detail at all levels.

Donation for Private Ceremonies

$3333 per person per ceremony ($3k per person per ceremony, if you pay in full)

*Typically private ceremonies are for 1-5 people. If you are arranging for more than 5 people for your private ceremony, we can discuss a price break for a larger size.

This price assumes you are traveling to my home temple and includes your ceremony, accommodation for the night in our guest bedroom on a California King, and your meals while you are at the house. This also includes a 90 minute Soul Realignment session with me on Zoom, where I will discover and clear all energetic blocks in your records as well as find out at soul-level how you are designed to share your gifts with the world through your Energetic Blueprint (find out more on my website here). Once your payment is made, we can book this session immediately and any time before your in-person ceremony. This also includes a limpieza (energetic cleaning) with my teacher Dr. Percy who resides in the Sacred Valley of Peru. This is a short 15 minute virtual session that will take place on Zoom before our ceremony.

Your travel expenses and any other needed nights of accommodation are not included in the pricing above, and you may also choose to stay at an Airbnb at your own cost if you’d like to stay longer.

Alternatively if I am flying to you, then we will add my travel costs as well as any further accommodation outside of the night of ceremony the venue it is hosted at. If we need to rent an Airbnb for the ceremony and accommodation, we will also add this cost. This will all be determined and priced out once we have location, timing and other details established.
