San Pedro Sanctuary is an intimate retreat space, enveloped by river water, wild forests, sacred mountains, ancient trees and fruit orchards.
We offer San Pedro Ceremonies, Retreats and Dietas in this serene and nurturing environment.
Designed for those seeking healing, transformation and a deeper connection to their soul, the sanctuary provides a safe and intentional space for depth work and spiritual exploration.
While ceremonies remain profoundly transformative, the overall structure allows for more freedom to engage with facilitators, connect with the land or surrounding environment and move at your own pace. This does not imply the ceremonies themselves are necessarily easy or relaxed—powerful inner work, profound healing and deep soul connection remain at the heart of the experience.
Beyond ceremony, you’re invited to explore the Sacred Valley, hike to ancient sites, enjoy therapeutic massages, nourish yourself with meals of your choice, and take time for journaling, creative expression, or quiet reflection.
The dieta combines strict dietary protocols, minimal food intake and extended solitude to create the conditions for the plant to perform its profound cleansing on the physical, mental, emotional and energetic bodies. Dietas can catalyze soul-stirring breakthroughs and life-altering shifts, but they demand significant commitment. Preparation, surrender and ample post-dieta integration time are essential to honor the intensity of this sacred work.
Important: A dieta is not for everyone—it requires a heartfelt calling.
**At least one San Pedro retreat is required before exploring a dieta.

Plant Medicine work carries with it an inherent sense of mystery.
The invitation to work with sacred plants is to step beyond the comforts and confines of modernity and into a doorway to realms beyond ordinary perception, awakening to the profound mysteries of existence. Words often fall short in capturing the true essence of these journeys; it’s an experience that must be felt, especially if you feel the call to travel to Peru and embrace this deep, transformative mystery.
A Glimpse into the Legacy of San Pedro.
The San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis Pachanoi), a sacred ally of the Andes and surrounding areas in Peru, has guided spiritual and healing practices for over 4,000 years. Carvings from Peru’s Chavín culture—among the earliest depictions of plant medicine use—show celestial and anthropomorphic beings cradling the cactus, a testament to its revered role in bridging worlds.
Known as Huachuma in Quechua (meaning “removing the head”), this medicine symbolizes liberation from the ego’s limitations, creating space for profound healing and communion with the unseen. Although much of San Pedro’s lineage was erased by the conquistadors in the 16th century, today, Huachumeros honor its medicine by stewarding ceremonies using San Pedro for prayer, reconnection with nature and holistic healing across physical, mental, emotional and spiritual layers.
Modern seekers turn to Huachuma to dissolve the dissonance between heart and mind—finding clarity and renewal—yet its true power lies in reawakening your innate connection to nature’s intelligence and the timeless wisdom within your bones.
Rooted in his own transformative life crisis and honed through extensive training, he offers a compassionate, integrative approach to healing. This work empowers individuals to: Unearth unconscious wounds, move through significant life transitions, foster healthy relationships and embody genuine wholeness.
In today’s fast-paced modern world, where quick-fix solutions and instant gratification reign supreme, the approach to sacred plant work often mirrors this hurried mentality. Unfortunately, many individuals seek out plant medicine experiences with the expectation of immediate, transformative results, akin to popping a pill or following a three-step program.
Integration honors the depth and complexity of these journeys by weaving their insights, teachings, and revelations into the fabric of our daily lives. It is the art of merging the mystical with the mundane, the extraordinary with the ordinary, and connects an individual to a broader sense of an earth community, creating a balanced and harmonious way of living.
