1-day Catamaran San Pedro Retreat in Ibiza, Spain
The use of Huachuma -the original Quechua pronunciation for the San Pedro cactus- is among the oldest of the different ancestral psychoactive plants, from 6.800 BCE. The name is attributed to the belief that just as St Peter holds the keys to heaven, the effects of the cactus allow users to reach heaven while still on earth.
San Pedro mesas and hikes in northern Peru and Ecuador are the most traditional ceremonial settings. We have created a modern reinterpretation of the original space of consciousness and reconnection with nature—a sailing journey in a 34-foot solar catamaran in Ibiza.
Welcome to this avant-garde proposal for developing awareness and integral well-being thanks to the tremendous heart-opening capabilities of San Pedro, a masculine plant spirit commonly referred to as grandfather.
Having previous experience with sacred medicines and/or psychedelics and knowing how to swim are essential requirements to join this retreat.

Here are some of their thoughts and appraisals:
Before embarking on a plant medicine journey, many questions may arise. Preparing yourself with a skilled guide before diving into it can make a world of difference. Reflection, expectation management, intention setting and tools to prepare—60 minutes, online or in person.
The plant medicine integration process is equally as important as the journey itself. This is where the real day-to-day work begins. We know how challenging it can be and how important it is to find someone you trust to guide you to harmony within—60 minutes, online or in person.
