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.

This retreat includes:

  • Three Sacred Ceremonies

    • San Pedro (Huachuma) x 1 – Benjo

    • Psilocybin (Mushrooms) x 1 – Benjo

    • Tepezcohuite (N-N-DMT, 5-MeO-DMT) x 1 – Troy and Joaly

     

  • 2 complimentary 75-minute integration coaching sessions

  • Somatic breathwork, yoga, meditation, and sound healing

  • Spiritual showers and sacred rituals

  • Reflection circles and communal sharing

  • Guided nature walks and intentional immersion in the land

  • Access to our 1-acre natural swimming pool

  • Eco-luxury accommodations and nourishing meals in the heart of Costa Rica

 

Root & Wisdom brings together professional training, cultural humility, and ancestral wisdom to offer one of the most comprehensive and grounded multi-medicine experiences available.

 

Whether this is your first time working with plant medicines or you’ve walked this path for many years, this retreat meets you where you are. Through a unique blend of Eastern and Western modalities, indigenous practices, somatic work, and high-integrity facilitation, you are invited to reconnect with your essence.

 

Return home with clarity, purpose, and a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.

 

Join us—where community, ceremony, and consciousness come together, and where you rediscover the Root of your inherent Wisdom.
