Huachuma/San Pedro Ceremony

Theo (known in the art world as Entheo Delics) is a visionary artist, San Pedro maestro, and plant medicine facilitator. He first came to Peru in 2013, intending to stay only a month to work on his struggles with heroin and alcohol addiction, as well as a deep depression following the loss of his father at age 15 — challenges for which Western medicine had offered no lasting solution. The plants opened a whole new dimension of healing and purpose, and Theo felt called to remain in Peru. He volunteered for over a year at the Casa de la Gringa San Pedro medicine house, where he learned the ways of the cactus: its preparation, its ceremony, how to work with energies, and how to use the sacred mountains and stones of Cusco for transformation. Eventually moving to the Sacred Valley, Theo devoted himself to art and to cooking the cactus, holding donation-based ceremonies at his home. Over the years, he developed a profound connection with San Pedro, guiding people with humility and creativity. His ceremonies often weave together art, music, and nature, inspiring participants to find their own inner guidance, master, and creator. A few years later, Theo joined Arkana Spiritual Center, where he served San Pedro, facilitated Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) ceremonies, and assisted multiple times a week in Ayahuasca ceremonies. With more than a decade of experience, Theo has sat in, facilitated, and held countless ceremonies, bringing dedication, humility, and service to all his work. His vision has always been to create a space where San Pedro and creativity stand at the center — a sanctuary for healing, art, and sustainable connection with nature, co-created with trusted friends and partners. He sees this path as his life’s calling: helping others heal through creativity and reconnecting with the wisdom of sustainable plants. Now a father to a son born in 2018, Theo carries deep gratitude to his family and community, who continue to inspire and give him the strength to walk his true path. Over the years, he has worked with people facing depression, addiction, PTSD, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies, offering compassionate support and guidance rooted in his own lived experience of healing.

Gary D., originally from Scotland, has been working seriously with plant medicine since 2008, healing himself and helping others along the way.

He is an experienced plant medicine worker and an artist with many different skills and deep empathy to accompany people in their processes.
