Ayahuasca, Kambo & Bufo Retreat
Beloved Soul Family,
You are warmly invited to gather in sacred ceremony — to walk the path of remembrance with Ayahuasca and Bufo, ancient Earth medicines that open the doorway to deep healing, awakening, and alignment with Spirit.
This retreat is for those who feel the call rising from within… to explore the vast landscapes of consciousness, to heal what no longer serves, and to rekindle the sacred bond with Great Spirit and our Earth Mother.
It is my deepest honor to hold space for this journey — to create a loving, grounded, and intentional container where you are supported in releasing, transforming, and reweaving your being with the energies of love, unity, and harmony.
Together, we walk the beauty way — returning to the truth of who we are, in connection with ourselves, one another, and all of life.
Dates:
Friday, May 2
Saturday, March 3
Location:
Hempstead, TX (Exact location & address will be provided last week of April for all participants who have submitted deposits)
This property is 500+ acres in Hempstead, TX with petting zoo: zebras, horses, cattle, buffalo, pigs etc. We have rented this space twice in the past as it offers great privacy away from civilization and so much land to roam and connect to our mama Gaia throughout the weekend. The home has a spacious living space area where we will clear out the furniture to allow for you to bring your ceremony pallets/bedding to lay your body to rest after ceremony outdoors- so no need to bring your tent if you don’t feel like setting one up. We will organize the room in a manner to ensure there is space for everyone to rest after ceremony.
Cost:
$333/ per night (includes medicine, breakfast and camping)
Guided by:
We are deeply honored to welcome Juan Carlos of ARKAWA as a master musician and ayahuascero for this sacred retreat.
Born and raised in the mountain regions of the Amazonian jungle in Putumayo, Colombia, Juan Carlos was immersed from a young age in the spiritual traditions and healing ways of his ancestors. Growing up surrounded by the sacred plant medicine of Ayahuasca, his path was deeply shaped by the wisdom of the jungle and the guidance of elder medicine carriers.
For over 25 years, Juan Carlos has walked the path of sacred service, offering his voice, his heart, and his prayers in ceremonies around the world. A world-renowned ceremonial musician, he is known for his profound ability to channel healing through song — melodies that seem to come straight from the Earth and stars, awakening deep remembrance in the soul.
Each song he carries is a living transmission — medicine that moves through sound, opening portals of transformation, clearing, and deep emotional release. Through his decades of work with Ayahuasca, he has become a vessel for a vast repertoire of channeled icaros and healing songs, each one a bridge between realms, a call home to the truth within.
Juan Carlos travels the world with this medicine, sharing his music and presence in devotion to collective healing, unity, and spiritual awakening. His presence in this retreat is a true blessing — and his music, a sacred fire that warms the heart and guides the spirit. You can learn more about ARKAWA here.
