Schedule

Our ceremonies take place over a mix of night daytime ceremonies. Daytime ceremonies are rare within this space as some Taitas lack the proficiency or willingness to contain this spiritual space. We find this combination of day and night time ceremonies to be unique and extremely beneficial in the process during the week.
During ceremonies, we have the Taita curating the ceremony, while our facilitators and support team consisting of no less than 1 team member per 3 guests will be there to assist, guide and support you throughout the process. Safety and security is paramount to us ensuring all our guests receive the absolute best experience.
Nights will begin around 6pm where the first cup will be offered. You will then return to your personal position within the ceremonial space containing a mattress, blankets, pillow, and of course a bucket to sit with the medicine and allow the work and magic to begin. You can spend your whole night there or if you feel the calling warmly sit beside our ceremonial fire. Music is delivered throughout the ceremony, with live medicine music and taitas personal medicine work guiding you throughout the experience. a 2nd and sometimes 3rd cup will be offered throughout night depending what is required. With our ceremonies ending between 1am-3am where you can stay sleeping on your ceremonial mattress or retire to your room.
Day ceremony will begin at 7AM where the first cup will be offered and follow a similar format as above, the difference being the ceremonial space is slightly expanded and if you feel the calling within ceremony you have the ability to be amongst the beautiful plants, trees views, and vibrant nature while still being under the special care of our team. The ceremony will generally last for 6-7 hours.
