Overview
Retreat Highlights
- We work with several sacred plants such as Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Vilca for healing. Taita Miguel is one of only a handful of people who know to work with the medicine Vilca, which was the most sacred medicine of the Inka. In addition to plant medicine ceremonies, we also immerse ourselves in the nature and culture of Ecuador. Ceremonies are very small, with only 6 people per retreat, everyone getting the care and attention they need. We believe in offering affordable retreats for folks. If you have a financial issue, please contact us and we can try to work something out with you.

Plant Medicine Ceremonies
We will gather together in Plant Medicine Ceremonies. Ayahuasca is often compared to a wise Grandmother, and like an onion, she can help you find your center and let go of what no longer serves you, as well as helping to heal physical and mental illness.
Grandfather San Pedro is the healing masculine energy, helping you find alignment and open your heart once more, ready to take flight. We will meet with Grandfather San Pedro next to Granfather Fire in beautiful, unique ceremonies
Mama Wilka is a rare, sacred medicine that comes from the Huilko tree in the Andes. Miguel is one of a handful of people who know how to work with this medicine. Huilka is a medicine taken as a snuff, and is very visionary, intense and short. The experience usually lasts about 1 hour. This plant contains 5MEO DMT. Wilca is known to heal terminal illness, and is especially helpful for those with addictions. She teaches us about ourselves and the Universe and helps show us clearly our path in life.
We will provide preparation support, and we hold circles during our plant medicine retreats to discuss any questions you may have in advance. After our plant medicine ceremonies, we also have sharing circles, so you can share any pearls from your ceremony experience. Some people have sat in ceremonies previously, whereas, for others, it is their first time meeting with the plant medicines.
Optional:
Huilka seed reading with Taita Miguel – before or after on Zoom, or at retreat. Ask questions about your life, work, relationship, connect with loved ones who have passed over
Virtual limpia (energetic cleansing) – We can do a limpia for you via Zoom before the retreat if you wish, or after. We will do them at the retreat, but it can be helpful to start aligning your energy or help with any health issues you might be experiencing even before you arrive.
