7 day 2 San Pedro and 2 Ayahuasca ceremonies - retreat in the Sacred Valley, Peru

I came to the retreat excited and my expectations were surpassed exponentially. Samer and Gemma have put much thought and consideration into the flow of the experience - the intentionality allows participants to dive deep in a safe and effective way. The food and the medicine are foundational pieces to the experience but their guidance and support is what allowed me to feel able to let go deeper into the work/healing.

I can't recommend this experience enough. Working in the wellness space for the past 7 years this retreat blew me away, and I will be recommending not only to my clients but also my friends and family. If you are considering this experience take the time to talk with Samer, it was well worth it.

I spent a week with Samer and Gemma in a retreat that included Huachuma, Kambo, and a sacred hike to Ausangate—by far one of the most meaningful weeks of my life. I’ve worked with several healing centers, but none compare to the thoughtfulness that goes into the experience at Samadi Healing. Samer approaches shamanism with great care and a wealth of traditional experience, while also utilizing Western teachings and philosophies for a truly holistic approach to the healing you need—no question went unanswered and nothing felt lost in translation, as it sometimes does when working with specific traditions. Gemma brings such a graceful, gentle, and grounded energy to ceremonies and conversations in between. She makes you feel heard, and can skillfully help you navigate deeper into your process. They make a great team! As for the medicine, I can’t recommend Huachuma enough especially if you’ve found the fiery energy of Ayahuasca difficult to contend with in aspects of your healing. It provides a much more gentle and “workable” experience—rooted in the heart rather than the mind. This change in perspective was very helpful for me. The Kambo was difficult, but deepened the process and the connection with Huachuma. All of this culminated towards the hike on Ausangate: An indescribably empowering day, and the connection and communion shared between the sacred mountain and our group was something I’ll keep with me for the remainder of my life. Oh, and not to mention the delicious meals and good laughs! Read More

One of the most life changing experiences of my life. We were a small group of five. The whole environment was safe. The food was exceptional. Gemma and Samar were amazing. I would highly recommend this retreat if you’re searching for something. I gained a lot out of it and after 3 months the San Pedro Medicine is still giving me direction and eureka moments.
Thanks so much for the experience Samar and Gemma. Read More

I had experienced one-off San Pedro ceremonies with Samer over the past few years but this was the first intensive retreat experience. I was a little nervous about not knowing the other participants and doing a full retreat. I am so incredibly grateful that I took a leap of faith and trusted Samer and the process - it couldn't have worked out better.

Samer is such an experienced and wise shaman, who truly connects with and guides the energies of everyone in ceremony. Gemma is such a kind and calming presence., who inspired me to let go and feel. The emotions, tears, relief, revelations, and discoveries that were released in such a safe and sacred space are indescribable.

I left feeling a sense of peace that has continued two months later, despite recent unexpected and difficult challenges. I would love to return for an annual reset. It's hard work and exhausting but worth every second. Thank you, Samer and Gemma. Read More

What a wonderful experience. This was my first San Pedro retreat. Samer and Gemma were very kind and made me feel safe while we worked with the medicine. There was so much thought put into each ceremony, and the food therapy that helped us heal on deeper levels. I really liked how open the space was, while also giving others the privacy to be with themselves when needed. If anyone is wanting to overcome limiting beliefs, opening the heart center, and finding more meaning in their lives, this retreat is for you. Thanks to Samer and Gemma for an incredible experience, and I hope to be back someday. All the best to those who will attend in the future! Read More
