The Convergence of Traditions

In the Sacred Valley of the Incas, where mist-shrouded mountains cradle ancient wisdom, Ananda Lodge presents an unprecedented Huachuma journey that bridges millennia-old traditions with contemporary healing approaches.

This exclusive experience limited to 20 participants brings together the profound medicine of Huachuma (San Pedro) in its ancestral homeland with trauma-informed somatic practices that facilitate deep integration at the level of the body, where true transformation occurs.

This profound inner work unfolds within the luxurious comfort of The Source Peru, an extraordinary retreat nestled at 10,000 feet above sea level, surrounded by a stunning waterfall, river canyon, and majestic peaks.

THE ANCIENT MEDICINE OF HUACHUMA

Experience the sacred cactus in its native Andean homeland where it has been revered for over 3,000 years. Huachuma, known as San Pedro or Wachuma, is a visionary cactus that has been used by Andean cultures for millennia. Growing in the high altitudes of the Andes, this ancestral teacher plant facilitates heart-opening, enhanced perception, and profound connection with nature and self.

Unlike other medicine journeys, Huachuma creates a gentle but powerful experience characterized by clarity, groundedness, and heart-centered awareness. Often described as “removing the veil” between worlds, it helps participants access deep wisdom while remaining present and embodied.

Through sacred ceremony at The Source Peru, you’ll be guided into relationship with this ancient plant teacher in its homeland, where the energies of the sacred mountains amplify its healing potential.
