This is my first experience with ancestral medicines and I must say that it has been the best. Starting with the organization and the information provided at all times. The love with which the entire team accompanied us throughout the process, feeling so safe at such a vulnerable time, I felt accompanied every minute, I felt safe and protected, the place was safe, everything was based on love and respect. It was my first experience and I admit that it was engraved in my soul. The accompaniment of the taita and his entire team was 100/100. Thank you for allowing us to learn about and be part of this medicine.
I’ve had the privilege of attending numerous ceremonies with Taita Pedro, each one a profound and transformative experience. His wisdom is evident in the way he holds space—calm, grounded, and deeply connected to the energies around us. Taita Pedro always encourages us to dive deeper within ourselves, guiding us to explore the layers of our inner world with courage and openness. His ceremonies are not just about healing; they are also about self-discovery and unlocking the wisdom that resides in each of us. With his gentle yet powerful presence, he inspires us to embrace the journey inward with trust and reverence. I will continue to attend his ceremonies and highly recommend him to all my friends and family.
Taita Pedro and his team are absolutely amazing. I am blessed to have had my first experience with him. He is a genuine person who cares deeply for others. The wisdom and guidance he provides is invaluable. The icaros was top notch as well. The whole experience has been the most profound experience of my life so far. I am so grateful for Taita Pedro and if I feel the need to be with Aya again, it would be in ceremony led by Taita Pedro.
I had been looking for inner peace and happiness, to heal traumas for many years in different forms (therapy, reading, breath work, meditation and other modalities) with great input and good improvement in my state of mind but I always felt a sense of emptiness that nothing I did could fill. Soon enough, I was introduced to the idea of plant medicine and ceremonial work. Somehow Taita Pedro came up in conversation with one of my coworkers and to this date I am extremely grateful for the work we have achieved. As I continue to integrate my lessons, I thank God every day to have put Taita Pedro and all the wonderful people that facilitated during ceremony for us. The experiences are very special, engaging, and safe every time I join for ceremony.
Thank you Taita for the guidance you have provided in helping me believe in myself again- in a way people can tell you how much beauty your spirit radiates but until you experience it yourself, you wont be able to believe it and embody it and that is something I finally was able to experience. Thank you for helping me connect with Mother Earth, God and beautiful spiritual beings during these retreats.
Thank you for creating a safe space for us to heal and journey back to our true happy selves!
I’m in love with Ayahuasca!
This medicine saved me, changed my life, and showed me what true love is.
I met with Ayahuasca during a difficult period of my life and fell in love with it for its wisdom. I am grateful to Ayahuasca for my inner balance today and will be grateful to it for the rest of my life. Also, I adore Pedro—such a sensitive, serious, and wholehearted Shaman who helped me to see a wisdom of life 🙏
Thank you Ayahuasca💚
Thank you Pedro ❤️
I attended yage ceremonies with Taita twice, the first a larger group in California and the second a smaller group in Pennsylvania. It was a transformative experience.
I highly recommend Taita as he is attentive and is willing to listen to participants and their concerns. He and the facilitators were ever watchful on us while giving us the space to process the medicine, and our subconscious thoughts and emotions. I plan to attend more innthe future after further work on myself.
I recommend intention setting and integration (and abstaining from prohibited foods) to make the most of your experience.
Also, do inquire abt acommodation, bathroom, showers, meals so that you know what to expect – it is not going to be a 4-star resort ..LOL.
Every ceremony is a difficult and profound work on oneself, through which we learn to live and feel life. Endless gratitude to Taita Pedro and the Medicine. I highly recommend this experience to everyone on this planet.
Hard to find the words that will describe how much meeting and and sitting with taita Pedro has done for me.
My first time was in Homestead, FL back in June 2022.
I’ve gone back several times in the last 2 years.
Even though it wasn’t a one time blast off into space and come back all fixed like I’d hoped 🫣 haha 🤣
It was the most transformational and magical experience of my life.
It has given me so much hope and excitement to continue living this incredible life we get to have!
I see and feel things so differently while still being a work in progress to be continued.
There’s so much magic and love to be experienced while on this planet, it simply can’t be put into words.
Sitting in ceremony might not be the easiest experience at times but the after part is where the gold comes in…
The people and community that will come with this experience is an absolute gift 💝
A sort of after-life but back on earth with a soul family. ♥️
Simply put or TLDR 😉
He is safe and the real deal.
If you’re feeling called, no hesitation needed!
Trust that you’re meant to be there. 💫🪄
I’m forever grateful 🙏
My two ceremonies with Taita Pedro were in Pennsylvania, he is a kindle and friendly soul. My first experience was smooth and gentle, the 2nd time was even more powerful. If you are being called to the medicine highly recommend Taita Pedro and his team.
My first time I sat with the medicine was with Taita Pedro in Homosassa, Florida. My experience was profound and far exceeded my expectations. I felt safe, seen, & heard. After retiring from the military this was exactly what I needed. Even if I didn’t know it at the time. If any Vets or normal folks are on the fence, don’t be. Taita Pedro’s space is phenomenal, and indeed the perfect setting if you feel called to sit with him, and his medicine. Trust was built, and perspective was attained. I’m grateful that I was welcomed and taken care of by him and Pachamama Munai.
This was my first time with the medicine and I was a little anxious about being vulnerable with strangers. There was absolutely no reason to be, I felt safe and supported the whole weekend. Taita Pedro takes his position as a shaman seriously but he is also very personable and approcahable. I would highly recommend adding this to your list of healing opportunities.
Incredible experience! The entire ceremony was amazing. The location, administration of the medicines, music, food, and community. Truly blessed to have had the experience with Taita Pedro, the facilitators, and other participants. Muchas gracias por la medicina de la tierra!!
So grateful that my first experience was with Taita Pedro and his family. Although nervous, I immediately felt safe, secure and welcomed into this beautiful community. The experience led to acceptance, of myself and others and an overwhelming sense of unity. I believe that EVERYONE could benefit.
Taita Pedro is truly a gifted healer. I feel so fortunate to have been referred to him. Taita created a safe and nurturing space to enable me to surrender to the process and fully immerse myself in the ceremonies. I plan to schedule another retreat with him next year, as he is the only Taita that I will be working with in the future.
These 3 days brought a compelling experience, and I am happy I joined this amazing team.
Environment, energy, food, location, scheduling, and setup were organized professionally, by the caring and amazing people who know what they do.
If you are considering joining the future ceremony, make sure you don’t have any expectations and quick results, and be ready to come back again. Every time it’s different, just surrender and let Divine energy hold you and show you the limitless void and beauty of quantum reality, where the conception of space and time dissolves into Creation, and everything becomes one.
This sacred plant has its Intelligence, which doesn’t have memory, it’s part of Super Intelligence which connects everything, manifested and unmanifested worlds.
Special thanks to Taita, who tried to push our limitations, trust is important, and don’t be scared.
Taita Pedro is a beautiful soul. He knows what he’s doing and takes great care of each person while they are with him. I’ve had the honor of getting to know him and his work over the last 4 years and highly recommend him. He’s done a really wonderful job of building a strong and supportive community.
Taita Pedro is very powerful shaman, I know him for many years and participated in multiple retreats with him and its always transformative and healing!!! I will definitely come back!! The place was very beautiful, amazing food and team!!! Thank you all and hope to see you soon:)))
Ceremony is beautiful and sacred. A safe place to heal. Taita is genuine and caring. He shares his knowledge of the medicine, and helps others through their journey. Wonderful experience!!
I’ve had my ceremonies with different Taitas in south america and some ayahuasqueros here in states and Taita Pedro is the best. From organizing everything to guiding everyone in the ceremony space, also his amazing crew, I don’t know how could one do it any better. Highly recommend!
Really enjoyed the ceremony, the food and staff/volunteers were AMAZING!! The music during the ceremonies was out of this world, can’t wait to go back!!
The 3 day ceremony was beautiful and profound. I felt safe throughout the journey, and Taita and the servers always knew what was going on and were there to help. The location was beautiful, the food and live medicine music were excellent, everyone was friendly and kind. Would highly recommend this retreat whether it’s your first time with plant medicine or more experienced.
Tara is an exceptional server and a very kind and wise man. I felt comfortable with him and all the facilitators… the food and experience was outstanding. I look forward to the next journey with Taita …. Love to all
This was my first ceremony and could not have been in better hands and in a safe environment! Taita Pedro and his team were very understanding and guided me through the process. This will definitely not be my last ceremony with Taita Pedro! I loved my journey!
My first ceremony, everything was perfect. Taita Pedro and his entire staff are top notch. I will definitely be back again the next time they come around this way. The retreat space was beautiful and perfect for the ceremonies. I can’t recommend Taita Pedro and his team enough.
Peace. Love. Light
