Our Ceremonies

The sacred plant ceremonies are integral to the Ancestral Indigenous traditions and yet not central to them since there is greater cultural context entailing cosmo-vision, practices and myth creation stories that relate to each individual heroic journey through life. Paititi Institute engages with ceremonies as part of an integral approach to allow practical and long term integration of the retreat experiences in everyday life for all our participants.

Ancestral shamanic ceremonies involving sacred entheogenic plant medicines are attracting multitudes of people from all layers of society nowadays. There is something deeply enthralling about a dimension ungoverned by the logical mind and conceptual thinking. Experiencing a rapture in the mystical divine union of direct contact with the raw forces of nature may be an inherent intuitive longing expressed through the many alarming issues of the modern society. While people have many ideas regarding the pursuit of happiness, the underlying state itself is an indescribable, yet deeply familiar blissful wholeness, nurture and safety imprinted in the cellular memory by the unconditional love of mother nature’s womb.

This retreat begins a profound consciousness transformation and involves a serious self-realization process. The process includes physical, mental, spiritual and emotional detoxification. Participants should be willing and able to face without compromise, personal inhibitions, repressed emotions, fears, habitual patterns and other obscurations of consciousness that often accumulate in the human subconsciousness for many years because of the conditioning of modern society.

During the retreat there will be sacred plant ceremonies. The sacred plant medicines we work with include Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Coca all of which can support the the journey through spiritual insight and unraveling the divine intelligence of nature in one’s being. We do not have a set number of ceremonies as we find it essential to base this on the process and needs of the group.
