(4 Nights/5 Days)

Fear is excitement of the soul disguised by the mind

Join us to heal trauma, fully reclaim self-love and gain clarity in your path. It is time to step beyond your comfort zone and embody your most authentic, elevated self through the alchemy of this sacred work.

what’s your relationship with fear?

Are you feeling stagnant, disconnected, or overwhelmed by the pressure to keep pace? Do you hold a vision for your life yet find yourself paralyzed by the unknown or lost in a cycle of overthinking?

If you are ready to break free from the patterns that limit your potential, this is your invitation. Step into a transformative sanctuary of healing and discovery. This is more than a retreat; it is an opportunity to explore the depths of your Being, shift your consciousness, and align with your highest Self.

Held in a container of compassion and unconditional love, our intimate group (approximately 3–9 guests) ensures a deeply personal and supported journey. Through the ancient wisdom of sacred plant medicines, approached shamanically with deep respect, we create a living bridge to the Divine. These medicines act as a catalyst; cleansing the mind, detoxing the body, and restoring you to your original blueprint of wellness

An Authentic Transmission of the Amazon

We invite you to experience a depth of healing traditionally reserved for those who journey into the heart of the Amazon.

Shaun has dedicated years of disciplined study and profound devotion to carrying the wisdom of indigenous lineages with the utmost love and reverence. Because of this commitment to the path, our ceremonies hold the same potency, integrity, and transformative power as those led by the most respected curanderos of the jungle.

This is an invitation to receive a master-level transmission of sacred medicine, held in a space that honors the ancient ways while supporting your modern expansion.

The Sacred Container

Depending on where you’re at in life and in your Being we will work with 1 of 2 Sacred Medicines

 

Mushrooms and the Sovereign Soul: A Path to Reclaimed Wholeness

For millennia, shamans have turned to sacred mushrooms as profound allies in healing trauma and its lingering shadows; those invisible fractures that shape our inner world. This medicine does not merely soothe symptoms. It gently illuminates the repressed emotions and hidden memories we’ve carried, inviting us to face them with new courage and clarity.

At its core, the soul longs to remember it is safe to be vulnerable again. Safe to trust, to reclaim innocence, to release what has been long suppressed. This reclamation can unfold naturally through consistent, loving support—a devoted partner, wise parents, or a skilled therapist holding space with unwavering presence. Yet for many, the path inward remains guarded.

This Sacred Medicine offers a direct and sacred acceleration.

It stirs the subconscious, guiding you straight to the root of latent emotions with remarkable precision. In this transcendent state of heightened awareness and hyper-memory, doors long sealed swing open. You encounter truths you didn’t consciously know you held; fragments of experience, emotion, and insight that have been waiting to be witnessed, integrated, and finally set free.

This is not escape. It is return. A homecoming to the untouched essence beneath the wounding. A remembering of your original wholeness. From this place of reclaimed safety and innocence, the soul regathers its power and begins to take new, vibrant form.
The journey isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about shedding what was never truly yours so your authentic self, your sovereign creative force, can finally breathe, expand, and express without distortion.

When approached with reverence, intention and proper integration, this Medicine becomes a powerful catalyst for those already on the path of deep self-mastery to transmute their deepest liabilities into their greatest assets and creative gifts.

Grandmother’s Wisdom Calls

The Vine of the Soul: If you’re feeling called to deepen your inner journey, sitting with Grandmother, a sacred teacher and healer, offers a profound path to genuine transformation. This ancient sacrament purifies the body, mind, and spirit; dissolving illusions, emotional blockages, and outdated patterns that no longer serve you. It awakens heightened awareness of your pineal gland, often described as the gateway to inner vision and higher perception, allowing clearer insight into your true self and life’s deeper purpose.

Many who approach her with respect and proper preparation experience lasting emotional release, profound healing of past wounds, reconnection with authentic joy and virtue, and an expanded state of consciousness that fosters greater harmony, love, and alignment in daily life. Working with her in Sacred Ceremony can also facilitate physical healing since all dis-ease is rooted in the spiritual/energetic plane.

The Original sound healing: Icaros. Icaros are the songs from the Medicinal plant spirits that carry and amplify their healing frequencies. The icaros are an integral part of a Ceremony with Grandmother and elevate not only the frequency of the Sacred container, they also elevate the healing available to all present and indirectly to those not present. 

Beyond personal healing, the Vine of the Soul has a role in humanity’s collective evolution and its planetary mission of awakening. By working with Her in a sacred, intentional setting, you not only heal yourself you contribute to a broader wave of planetary consciousness expansion. Restoring balance, respect for nature, and spiritual maturity on Earth.

This is not mere spectacle or hallucination; it is true vision that reveals virtue, guides ethical living, and opens doors to the “people of my world”; the spiritual beings and wisdom that support your growth. If you feel ready to explore this with reverence, preparation, and an open heart, Grandmother can become a powerful ally for stepping into your highest potential and participating in something far greater than the individual self.
