This retreat is a bridge between worlds - Honoring the essence of Thanksgiving

A time of deep gratitude, mutual respect, and connection with nature. Through shamanic rituals, shared meals, reflection, and community, we will awaken the ancient remembering within us.

This is more than a retreat—it is a pilgrimage of the soul. Come, be part of a circle that remembers how to live in harmony with nature, with one another, and with the sacredness of life itself.

Guided by Don Francisco, beloved Q’ero elder and master shaman from the high Andes of Peru, we will enter into deep communion with the Earth through the ancient Aini Despacho ceremony. Aini means "right relationship"—a sacred reciprocity with all of life. In this traditional offering, we express our heartfelt gratitude to Pachamama (Mother Earth), and in return, we open ourselves to receive her blessings.
