About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
At the Onyx retreat, time slows to a gentle rhythm, allowing you to reconnect with yourself and the world around you.
The retreat is held at the hill of Monte Sueño. Translating to "dream" in Spanish, Sueño sets the tone for an experience beyond imagination. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Andes mountains as you step into this sacred space, a profound sense of lightness washes over you, lifting the weight of everyday worries from your shoulders.
Amidst this picturesque setting, our intimate retreat caters to a maximum of 10 participants, ensuring a personalized and deeply impactful experience. Plant medicine ceremonies during our retreat are guided by the local shamans. Their presence adds a layer of ancestral wisdom and cultural richness to this sacred gathering, preserving traditions and indigenous knowledge that transcend time.
Under the guidance of healers, you will immerse yourself in the sacred ceremonies of Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, and San Pedro. These ceremonies are accompanied by rituals aimed at purifying the mind, body, and spirit.
Ayahuasca, a medicinal brew originating from the Amazon, serves various purposes: as a purging and diagnostic tool for physical ailments, a source of curiosity prompting exploration, a facilitator of emotional healing, a means to seek answers or guidance, and a catalyst for retreat and inner reconnection, all unified by the call from the heart drawing individuals to its ceremonies.
Ayahuasca is the Grandmother; she supports in rediscovering your center while shedding what no longer serves you.
Huachuma, also known as San Pedro or Awakolla, originates from the Andes mountains, presenting as a sacred plant medicine with psychoactive and healing properties, revered for its role as a master teacher in providing guidance, healing, and insights. San Pedro has the grandfather energy, supports realignment, opening the heart anew, preparing one for a transformative journey forward.
Psilocybin's influence on neuroplasticity facilitates the disruption of rigid neural structures, providing a window for processing repressed emotions and trauma, ultimately leading to alleviation of symptoms and the emergence of new insights, fostering a path towards an authentic way of being.
Our experienced nurse, Tajana, well-versed in facilitating plant medicine ceremonies, ensures a comprehensive intake process, prioritizing your safety and well-being throughout your journey.
Our team includes trained coaches, Monika and Ross, with extensive expertise in working with plant medicine. They will skillfully conduct group integration sessions, providing a space for you to process and integrate your experiences. Our coaches will be readily available for one-on-one sessions, offering personalized guidance and support tailored to your individual needs.
The Onyx retreat prepares individuals through a holistic approach encompassing preparation, integration, and emotional support for the plant medicine experience.
Embrace the silence, feel the lightness, and reconnect with your inner self. See you at our retreat!
