San Pedro Program

San Pedro Full Day Ceremony

San Pedro (Wachuma in Quechua) is a cactus, used in the Andes for sacred healing for over 3000 years. This medicine is used to heal on emotional, physical and spiritual levels. San Pedro reconnects us to ourselves and to Mother Earth/Pachamama, is a master teacher plant, a great gift from the universe. It helps us to grow, learn, and awaken, and assists us in reaching higher states of consciousness. Wachuma shows us our divinity and the divinity in ALL. This is a beautiful way to heal ourselves, to have the TRUE understanding of all that is, and to set us free. San Pedro gives us a greater understanding of our purpose in life, clarity, and love for ourselves and for all of creation. This is Heart medicine giving a deep connection and working for raising consciousness. With natural alternative plant medicine.

Wachuma:  San Pedro has so much grace that one does not need to answer back it takes all that does not serve us away with no questions asked, it’s effects are like unconditional love that heal the emotions that we carry and once clearing the baggage it gives us space to heal the physical body. Wachuma connects us to nature that responds to us in messages giving us direction in life and what path to take the plant is here for us to receive making our hearts innocent again, it assists us in making our own miracles and preventing future errors, showing that we are our own creator’s, helping us let go of the past through love and living in the present with gratitude. We prepare San Pedro in it’s traditional way that has been passed down from generation from our master teacher into our hands. Our wish is that all may experience the love of the universe through plant medicine. On the medicine one can speak, walk and is in a normal state not altered but just overwhelmed with love and love is the key to healing on all levels. We hold space for you in a safe environment and allow the medicine to heal and guide you.

Transform your life – Learning to love yourself – Connect with your higher self – Healings on all levels.
