This exclusive, 4 - day / 3 - night retreat is aimed at those looking to immerse themselves into personal development and spiritual growth with the assistance of the sacred plant medicine of the Mushrooms in a safe, immersive, and supportive environment.
This is a Mexican, ancestral ceremony from the Mazatec people. Maria Sabina, the famous healer who brought magic mushrooms to the west in the 1950’s and ’60, came from this lineage.
This ancestral ceremony works with psilocybin to promote healing and connection using techniques such as songs, prayers, and most of all, silence as a place of connecting with deep layers of the Soul. The medicine carriers curate a ceremony that allows them to commune with ancestors spirits and deities, sing, heal and pray. The ceremony takes place in doors at night to deeply connect with ourselves.
MEDICINE CARRIER
AGDER SANCHEZ PALACIOS
Agder is an ancestral ceremony facilitator with over 20 years experience working with the Mazatec mushroom tradition as well as the Lakota peyote temazcal and sweat lodge. His father was a medicine man before him and he was introduced to the medicine path at the age of 8. Agder trained in First Nations traditions and is certified by the Native American Church to run peyote and sweat lodge ceremonies. He’s a sundancer and chanoopa carrier and his work has taken him all over the world from India to Canada and many countries in Europe.
North and Central American native traditions have used psilocybin for hundreds of years for healing of physical and emotional ailments as well as connecting with the world of spirit for guidance and support.
We provide much more than just a ceremony. During the retreat, we will use several embodiment practices to get out of our head and connect with our true essence. We offer extensive preparation and integration support before, during and after the retreat experience to empower you making the most of it over the long term.

TESTIMONIALS
"Coming into the ceremony I was facing a major life decision, on whether to stay in an abusive relationship or break apart our family and lose many precious moments with my daughter. It was something I had spent more than a year agonizing about. The entire retreat was more than I could have imagined and is hard to encapsulate in words. Suffice to say that after our integration call following the retreat, I knew, with absolute clarity, what I needed to do. But the experience brought so much more that was unexpected. I was introduced to an entire community of extremely loving, open, and empathetic people. It gave me so much new perspective on life. Agdar himself is extremely humble and kind but carries a lot of abilities that are otherworldly. I cannot recommend the experience enough and I know I'll be there for the next one!"

"I was first introduced to Kyle and Brad's services via a mutual friend within the community, and it turned out to be an extremely serendipitous meeting. I found that they had a true desire to assist others, and to facilitate the best possible experience. It's hard to describe in words the healing that I experienced during the ceremony. It actually changed my life for the better, and helped me fully come to terms with some traumatic life events that I had experienced recently. I believe that a sincere desire for repentance and forgiveness goes a long way, and the combined effort of everyone present during the ceremony assisted to achieve that goal. I cannot thank Brad, Kyle, Agdar + family enough for their services."
Much love.
