Peyote Retreat - Colorado Springs
With Don Modesto Rivera, Sarah Howat and Eva Evers
June 16 - 18, 2023
North and Central American native traditions have used peyote for hundreds of years for healing of physical and emotional ailments as well as to connect with the world of spirit for guidance and support. This retreat includes a Wixarika (Huicholles) all night prayer ceremony around the fire with the sacred plant medicine peyote. This tradition comes from Mexico and dates back thousands of years. We also provide several embodiment practices to support getting out of our head and to connect with our true essence. We offer extensive preparation and integration support before, during and after the experience to empower you to make the most of it over the long term.
THE LOCATION
We will be staying in a beautiful, private property immersed in nature at the outskirts of Colorado Springs, CO. The center is an intimate place with lots of natural light and an open communal space. The ceremony will take place inside by the fire place surrounded by the majesty of the natural surroundings outside. Amenities include hot tub and lake access.






WHAT TO EXPECT
We take a holistic approach to optimal wellbeing and spiritual development designed to deepen your experience and offer extensive preparation and integration support before and after focused on lasting results. During the retreat, we use several modalities to enhance your experience, such as movement, breath work and meditation. To help you feel at your optimal best organic and locally sourced (where possible) meals are included during your stay with us.
Each participant will be assessed before entering the program through a compulsory application form and screening. Due to the powerful nature of psychedelic ceremonies and the impact that others sharing the space can have, we limit this retreat to 12 selected people.
