My wife and I recently had the profound privilege of attending a plant medicine retreat at Rocas Retreat in San Diego, facilitated by Wayne. Walking into the experience, we had no previous knowledge of Wayne, no expectations, and no prior experience with plant medicine. What unfolded over the course of our time there was nothing short of life-changing.
Wayne is an extraordinary leader and space-holder. He brings a rare and powerful combination of intuition, groundedness, wisdom, and warmth that immediately put us at ease. From the moment we arrived, Wayne fostered an environment—both inside and outside of ceremony—that felt safe, nurturing, and open. This sense of emotional and energetic safety allowed us, and others in the group, to be truly vulnerable and go deep into our individual healing journeys.
Throughout the Ayahuasca and Huachuma ceremonies, Wayne’s presence was steady, gentle, and profoundly supportive. His care felt deeply holistic—he was attuned to everyone in the space, offering guidance, comfort, and support exactly when it was needed, without ever overstepping or inserting himself unnecessarily. His intuitive ability to read and respond to the energy in the room—and in each person—was remarkable.
Wayne holds space with strength and compassion, honoring each individual’s unique process without judgment. He is equally available for casual, heart-centered conversation as he is for deep mentorship. His insights and ability to connect make him not just a facilitator, but a true guide.
We had absolutely no concerns about our well-being while in Wayne’s care—quite the opposite. We felt seen, respected, and supported every step of the way. His leadership helped create one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences of our lives.
We would return in a heartbeat. Wayne is the kind of person you trust immediately, whose energy stays with you long after the ceremony ends. We are already planning to come back in the near future and cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking deep healing, connection, and growth through sacred plant medicine.
