Working With San Pedro
Retreats, Dietas & Ceremonies
SAN PEDRO RETREAT
Our retreats offer an immersion into the medicine of San Pedro, guided soul work and communion with the natural world—creating a container where healing and transformation can unfold.
At the heart of each retreat are ceremonies that invite you to shed old patterns, encounter deeper truths and return to the essence of your being. The rhythm of the retreat supports this unfolding, offering spaciousness for rest, integration, and soulful presence–an opening that invites you to emotional depths, attunement with the natural world, and the weaving of insights into lived experience.
SAN PEDRO DIETA
A dieta is a deeply immersive process, held within a sacred and structured container created to deepen and amplify the transformative work with San Pedro.
Through strict dietary protocols, extended solitude and intentional withdrawal from external stimuli, the dieta creates conditions for the plant to cleanse and recalibrate the physical, emotional, mental and energetic bodies. It is a process of purification and attunement—one that opens the way for profound healing, soul-stirring breakthroughs and life-altering shifts.
This path is not to be taken lightly. It requires commitment, adequate preparation, a willingness to surrender and spaciousness for post-dieta integration to honor the depth of what unfolds. A dieta is for those who feel a clear call in their bones to walk this path.
***At least one San Pedro retreat and a dedicated amount of ceremonial work are required before entering a dieta.***
SAN PEDRO CEREMONY
Individual San Pedro Ceremonies are offered within the sanctuary, held in close relationship with the land that surrounds and supports the work.
Ceremonies take place across quiet garden spaces and natural settings that allow both shared presence and inward focus. The landscape invites stillness and attention—offering space to rest, move, or sit with what is unfolding, while the wider valley and mountains hold the process gently.
Accommodation can be provided or arranged in connection with individual ceremonies, allowing time for grounding, integration, and rest before and after the work. Ceremonies are offered by inquiry to ensure alignment, preparation, and appropriate support.
Your Stay At
San Pedro Sanctuary
San Pedro Sanctuary is nestled in a secluded valley, surrounded by mountains, forests, and rivers. The land offers a sense of ease and aliveness—gardens and forest paths create simple, quiet places to rest, reflect, and come back into connection.
Each part of the sanctuary has been tended with care to support presence. Gentle trails follow the river and wind through groves of native trees, flowering gardens, and fruiting orchards, while hammocks and resting spaces invite you to pause and breathe. Cozy cabins and intimate gathering areas are thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, allowing nature to hold and nourish you throughout your stay.
Here, simplicity meets depth—an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and return to the rhythm of the earth and the essence of your being.
FOOD
At San Pedro Sanctuary, nourishment is approached as an extension of the healing process. Meals are prepared using fresh, organic produce sourced from our sanctuary, local organic farmers, and seasonal fruits from the high jungle.
All meals are prepared by our Private Sanctuary Chef. On ceremony days, nourishment is kept simple, with fresh fruit bowls, hearty soups and fresh warm bread. On non-ceremony days, three freshly prepared meals are provided, with wholesome snacks available throughout the day to support your process.
We cater to a range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. For specific dietary requirements, please contact us in advance.
CEREMONY GUIDES
Rayan
Rayan is a holistic therapist, ceremonialist and a transpersonal soul guide whose work is devoted to the deep healing of individuals, relationships and communities. Over the last decade, he has immersed himself in a wide spectrum of healing modalities—including psycho-somatic therapy, transpersonal soul work, family systems, parts integration, plant medicine dietas, and wilderness immersions.
His path has been profoundly shaped by near-death thresholds, spiritual awakenings, and transformative life initiations that revealed the soul’s deeper intelligence at work in the unfolding of life. These experiences, together with years of training and apprenticeship—including time studying under elder teacher Sue Lewarne—have informed a grounded and integrative approach to healing. His work weaves ceremonial practice with San Pedro, contemporary therapeutic modalities, and the wisdom that arises through altered states of consciousness, all held through the lens of the soul.
Jenae
A seasoned psychotherapist and ceremonialist, Jenae followed a deep inner calling to Peru, where she opened her heart to the wise teaching of master plants in the jungle and later deepened her work with San Pedro in the Sacred Valley under elder teacher Sue Lewarne. Weaving her psychoanalytic training with ancestral plant wisdom, she embraces the multifaceted nature of the psyche—bridging the psychological and spiritual realms to foster true, holistic well-being. Her path—a fusion of clinical insight and ancestral wisdom—allows her to gently guide seekers through the liminal spaces where psychedelics, plant medicine, and the Western psyche meet.
Integration
Integration honors the depth and complexity of these sacred medicine journeys by supporting the gradual weaving of insights and revelations into the fabric of our everyday life. It is the meeting point between the extraordinary and the ordinary—where what is revealed in ceremony begins to shape how we relate, make choices, and live.
At San Pedro Sanctuary, integration is understood as ongoing, personalized work that extends well beyond the ceremonial space. Through therapeutic guidance, and carefully attuned tailored support rooted in years of experience, individuals are invited to ground their experiences into daily life—allowing the medicine to continue unfolding in steady, embodied, and meaningful ways long after they return home.
Integration can include support in
Emotionality
Through attentive presence of the body and its subtle energies, we create space for what has been held to be met and released. As patterns and emotions are brought into gentle awareness, the system is supported to soften, realign, and return to its natural rhythm.
Relationships
A space to explore the subtle and overt dynamics within your relationships—unraveling patterns around power, attachment, family systems, and conflict. Together we learn how to cultivate deeper intimacy, authenticity, and connection in how you relate to yourself and others.
Life Path
Exploring the direction of your life and supporting you through major and meaningful transitions. Whether you are shifting careers, seeking deeper alignment with your purpose, entering/exiting a relationship, or walking further with plant medicine, this space offers grounded guidance and intuitive perspective.
SAN PEDRO
Plant Medicine work carries with it an inherent sense of mystery.
The invitation to work with sacred plants is an invitation to step beyond the comforts and confines of modern life and enter a doorway into realms beyond ordinary perception—awakening to the deeper mysteries of existence. Words often fall short of capturing the essence of these journeys; they are experiences meant to be felt, especially for those who feel the call to Peru and the ancient medicine held within its mountains, rivers and sacred plants.
Within this mystery, San Pedro carries a distinct presence as a medicine of the heart—one that gently dissolves the surface layers of identity and opens the heart to the soul’s deeper currents. In ceremony, it can invite profound emotional release, an opening into renewal, and a felt sense of resting into one’s essence—realigning you with your soul and centering you in the truth of your being. Its presence is grounding yet expansive, guiding us into intimate contact with the mysteries that dwell both within and around us.
