Advanced Practitioners 10 Day | 9 Night Trauma Informed Huachuma & Ayahuasca Sacred Valley Immersion August 13-22, 2026
With Nikki Szeghalmi, Chase Moore and Kimberly Ocana
August 13 - 22, 2026
The Convergence of Traditions
The convergence of Amazonian vine medicine and Andean cactus wisdom creates synthesis unavailable in single-lineage containers. You’ve worked each medicine separately. This immersion reveals what emerges when both traditions operate in coordinated sequence under carriers who understand cross-pollination at the lineage level.
Is This Convergence Right for You?
Medicine Experience
You don’t need orientation to ayahuasca or San Pedro, you have working relationships with each. You’re seeking a container filled with other experienced practitioners where the collective field operates at depth from ceremony one.
Synergistic Weaving
You’ve witnessed what ayahuasca reveals. You know San Pedro’s territory. Now you’re asking what becomes available when both medicines work you in coordinated sequence under carriers who understand cross-tradition dialogue.
Teachers and Mentors vs Facilitators
You recognize that working with dedicated teachers across 10 days creates mentorship unavailable in standard retreat models. You’re seeking medicine carries with depth and who can answer the questions that arise three ceremonies deep when you’re working synthesis territory.
The Wisdom of Sacred Valley
You understand altitude, land, and proximity to origin sites amplify medicine work. The 100-foot waterfall, the 10,000-foot elevation, the Incan energy grid—these aren’t amenities. They’re co-facilitators.
Intimacy = Depth
Ten participants maximum means the medicine carriers can track each person’s arc across all four ceremonies. You recognize that intimate containers allow the Maestr@s to calibrate ceremony sequences based on what emerges in the collective field. Depth requires this ratio.
Cosmological Integrity
You’ve researched dual-tradition retreats and found most either lack authentic lineage or treat the combination as novelty. You’re investing in one of the rare containers designed specifically for synthesis-level integration.
