Mini-retreat with Peyote ceremony - 2 days
With Kristina, Riccardo, Marakame Juan, Rosa and Bianca - Founder Vine of the Soul
May 11 - 13, 2026
Join us for a profound Sacred Shamanic Peyote Ceremony guided by the spirit of the Peyote Cactus, a revered teacher of wisdom, healing, and deep connection. Beneath the night sky, gathered around the sacred fire, we will journey through prayer, introspection, and communion with the forces of nature.
The Peyote medicine was collected in a ritualistic way by Juan Ortiz de la Cruz and his community and is offered to us with love and respect. Peyote is a rare and cherished resource. Due to it’s slow growth, it is handled very respectfully by the local cultures. We only offer this sacred medicine, because Marakame Juan Ortiz de La Cruz and Devi Chandra Ma have reached out to us, in a gesture of mutual respect and appreciation. This is a once a year event.
Before the ceremony, there will be introductory talks to help guide you into the experience with understanding and reverence.
After the ceremony, there is an optional personal cleansing and healing session available for an additional cost, offering deeper energetic alignment and renewal.
Additionally, we invite you to explore the Wirrarika Market, where Marakame Don Juan Ortiz will offer handcrafted jewellery, sacred objects, and shamanic power items made by the families of his desert village.
To nourish and ground our experience, a nurturing foods will be provided during the retreat. The day after the ceremony is for community, sharing, integrating and resting, leaving on day 3 after breakfast.
Held at a beautiful venue in Portugal, Close to Faro airport, this night invites you to open your heart, align with your soul’s truth, and receive the blessings of this ancient medicine in a safe and sacred container.
