8 Day High-Touch Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, San Pedro Retreat
With Bianca - Founder Vine of the Soul, Kristina, Riccardo and Rosa
July 10 - 17, 2026
Illuminate Retreat – The Transformational Core of the BioPsyche Renewal Protocol™️
A high-touch, small-cohort immersion (max. 10 participants) blending trauma-informed care, neuroscience, and—depending on the retreat format—optional, fully consent-led plant medicine ceremonies.
This is the deep-work phase of our approach: where insight becomes real change in your nervous system, relationships, and daily life, supported by warm, experienced facilitators who understand both the science and the mystery of transformation.
The bigger container: BioPsyche Renewal Protocol (BPR)
The Illuminate Retreat is Phase 2 of the BioPsyche Renewal Protocol—our comprehensive three-phase pathway:
Stabilize → Illuminate → Embody
BPR is designed to help you not only process what’s present, but also build the skills and structure to navigate life long after the retreat ends. Through psychoeducation, emotional processing, and somatic integration, you learn to regulate your nervous system under real-life stress, identify and unwind repeating inner patterns, and translate insights into practical, embodied behavior change.
AI-based support app (before, during, after)
Included in the wider BPR container is our AI-supported app, designed to help you stay steady and oriented throughout the full arc of the work. It includes diet guidance (including retreat-specific preparation), psychological support prompts, 1–5 minute micro-practices for grounding and nervous system stabilization, and a knowledge base so you can understand what’s happening and why.
Standalone or full pathway
You can attend Illuminate as a standalone retreat. For the smoothest, most grounded experience—and the best odds of lasting change—we recommend the full Stabilize → Illuminate → Embody pathway.
Our goal isn’t to have you return again and again. It’s to help you complete this journey once, and leave equipped with the insight, resilience, and practical tools to meet whatever life brings with more balance and confidence.
Who it’s for
Ideal for people who have already begun their self-development journey and feel ready for a deeper, life-changing immersion.
Dietary preparation (if working with Ayahuasca)
If your retreat includes Ayahuasca, please plan for a two-week dietary preparation period. You can find the dietary requirements here: https://www.vine-of-the-soul.com/dietary-requirements/
