About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

This journey is meant to symbolize taking a step further in your spiritual quest and give depth to your personal evolution.
Visiting some of the Sacred Sites of the Wixarritari people, accompanied by a Marakame (medicine man/man of wisdom) to connect us to the Guardian Spirits of the Land, and help us place our offerings, prayers and intentions into these mythical points in Wirikuta Desert.
This journey is NOT meant as a touristic trip.

This Voyage is first of all, a commitment to making an Inner Voyage of self study, shedding anything and everything that no longer serves, and intention setting for better aligning to the path of your calling.

These sites are not often visited by people unfamiliar to the traditions, so they carry a special aura to them. We are offered the opportunity to witness and pray there with utmost respect since we are travelling with a Marakame from the Ancestral Tradition, official guardians of these sacred lands and plant.
Each site we visit has a very important significance to their worldviews, which they follow and keep alive in their privately held yearly pilgrimages they do as a tribe, a tradition kept for thousands of years. Here in this voyage we will do a very special fragment of their usual journey.
There will be some fasting during this journey and also an all day trek. We must prepare our minds, spirit and bodies too....

Schedule

In this pilgrimage every day is different. A pilgrimage journey usually has a route it follows, moving through different places either on foot, or with transportation or a little of both. Each act and part of the path has a deep symbolic meaning, and is powerful in and of itself. Placing offerings in the Sacred Sites of the Huichol People, deep in the magical Desert of Wirikuta, is already such a beautiful experience. Partaking in plant medicine, from its source, can not be explained with words.
Feeling the magic of the Desert, mountains, and the Spirit of the Peyote that grows all around, is truly a unique sensation, that brings insight, deep peace, understanding and much appreciation of life.
