My deepest thanks go to this temple, these ceremonies, and the paradoxically gentle, radically fierce shamanic leadership of Emeline and Sonia. Highly recommended for Seekers of truth. Wherever the ceremony may be, all the creature comforts are provided. The food is delicious, the beds warm, and the nature abundant. Truly Safe Sacred Space, and where necessary, a call to courage is held for every participant. These facilitators have done the practice groundwork to magnetize a wonderful community of participants who enter the Temple fully committed to doing the work as spiritual adults, humbled before Creation. Participants are afforded spaciousness and agency during ceremony, and yet Emeline and Sonia establish a beautifully balanced container. They closely track where retreatants are on the path when the medicine gets intense and keep them safe at every turn.

Since my first experience with it in 2018, I have been calling in a relationship with Huachuma San Pedro, the psychedelic Grandfather Cactus. I am so grateful to have been connected with such skilled facilitators of this medicine and to meet an increasing number of retreatants who arrive for their second or third ceremonies with Emeline and Sonia. I am grateful to offer bodywork to retreatants during San Pedro ceremonies. For the opportunity to support people in the excavation and examination of some of their oldest patterns stored in the tissues. These bodywork sessions have been some of the most salient moments of my life where I feel like I am living my True Purpose.
