Wixarika Peyote Retreat - Colorado Springs

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.

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.

The ceremony nights will begin with individual introductions and cleanses with Grandfather Fire, Tatewari, followed by preparing offerings of candles for the water, earth, and fire that will be given following the closing of our ceremonies. Sacred chants and dance will be shared throughout the night. The traditional Wixarika instruments are a small ”canari” guitar and violin that are played together while our Marakame (spiritual guide), Modesto, sings to the spirits of nature. We will give the opportunity at various times throughout the night for those who feel called to share their prayer songs to the medicine. There will also be a beautiful flower/water blessing as well as the traditional candle prayer in which everyone will receive a candle and pray together in the light.

Though Modesto’s native tongue is the language of his people, the Wixarika or Wirarika, he is among the select few fluent in Spanish. We hope that, at some point, he will share his gift of storytelling.

We are honoured that you have chosen to take this journey with us, and we look forward to sharing this transformative experience with you.
