MEDICINAL HEALING
Ceremonies

El camino de los hijos de la tierra (the path of the children of the Earth) is the legacy of an ancient way of life, which recognizes that behind all forms of life is the spirit. To walk this path is to honor that spirit in every detail, in every action. It is to recognize that the spirit sustains all forms of life, including ourselves and the rest of creation. We have received this worldview that guided our Native American ancestors in the past, and we  integrated it into our lives, to transform our day to day experience of love and harmony.

Our ceremonies are open to all who have red blood. We celebrate in a circle diversity and we recognize the spirit behind all philosophies, traditions and religions. Our work is oriented to the re-connection of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body. Our grandparents have left us various rituals such as the sacred Temazcal or inipi, and the Ceremonies with the sacred medicines or master plants. All ceremonies are open to all who come with respect, to seek reconnection with the medicine of the Heart. Before your arrival we will have personal talks with each participants about their diets and prework to do.

MEDICINES:

The Temazcal is type of sweat lodge heated by volcanic stones and originated from the Nahuatls and Aztecs, where is Mexico and Central America today. We usualy drink medicine in the Temazcal.
San Pedro or Huachuma is a cactus native to the Andes Mountains of Peru and Ecuador. It has a long history of use spanning 3,000 years in traditional Andean medicine.
Kambo is a medicine that comes from frog secretion, and for many indigenous cultures in the Amazon, this purgative, immunity-boosting medicine is known as the “vaccine of the forest,” as it is a powerful treatment for chronic pain.
Ayahuasca is an Amazonian plant medicine used for centuries, possibly thousands of years, by indigenous and more recently mestizo shamans across the upper Amazon throughout Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil.

All participation is optional

› Scheduling your stay

The plant medicine retreat lasts for 3 days, but all participants are able to customize their stay at Malibu to arrive however many days before the retreat and depart at their leisure depending on what day they want to leave.  We can create a a personal itinerary for each participants.  We recommend arriving at least a day before the retreat program starts so that there is enough time to unwind, relax and prepare.  Connecting with nature and ocean, surfing, yoga, fishing, and horseback riding are all beautiful ways to celebrate life before and after the retreat.
