Root & Wisdom Collaboration Retreat: A Sacred Journey with San Pedro, Psilocybin & Tepezcohuite
(Includes Free 1-on-1 Integration Coaching and Access to Our e-Integration Platform)
Join us for a 7-day collaborative retreat at our eco-luxury sanctuary in the Costa Rican jungle. This gathering is a rare convergence of wisdom traditions, bridging Chilean Andean lineages, Mushroom and San Pedro medicine, and the ancient teachings of Tepezcohuite. Together, we guide participants through a deeply intentional journey of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation.
This special retreat brings together:
-
Benjo, a Chilean medicine man and psychologist with over a decade of experience holding San Pedro and Psilocybin ceremonies around the world.
-
Troy and Joaly, sharing the sacred gift of Tepezcohuite with profound care, presence, and ceremonial grounding.

Our team blends indigenous teachings, psycho-spiritual insight, somatic modalities, and graduate-level education in counseling and psychology—creating a safe, culturally-rooted, and deeply transformative container.
We offer exceptional integration support to ensure that your process is grounded and sustained. Every participant receives two free 75-minute 1-on-1 integration coaching sessions with Maia, a licensed counselor and psychedelic integration specialist. You’ll also receive free access to Nectara’s Integration Platform, filled with courses, live workshops, and resources to support your preparation and long-term integration.
