Austin Romero - Medicine Man & Founder of The Huachuma Project
With years of experience in the world of plant medicines, Austin Romero is the heart and soul behind The Huachuma Project, a retreat center nestled in the Algarve, Portugal. As a Medicine Man, Austin has facilitated over 200 Ayahuasca ceremonies and served more than 2,000 people globally as a Kambo practitioner. His journey into shamanism began after a life-changing Ayahuasca ceremony in 2015, and he has since dedicated himself to working with San Pedro (Huachuma), which became his primary medicine in 2018.
Austin’s unique approach blends traditional shamanic practices with modern therapeutic modalities. He integrates rapid transformational hypnotherapy, psycho-spiritual inquiry, energy work, and neuromuscular techniques to support deep personal healing and spiritual transformation. His retreats offer a safe, heart-centered space for participants to explore their inner landscapes, reconnect with themselves, and find lasting change.
Austin’s commitment to his craft extends beyond ceremonies. He provides comprehensive preparation and integration support to ensure participants get the most out of their experience. Whether you are seeking personal growth, emotional healing, or spiritual awakening, Austin’s grounded, compassionate approach creates the conditions for profound transformation.
