We offer private individual and group retreats ranging from 1 to 6 days, designed to be fully customized to your needs. Whether you’re seeking a deeply personal journey or a shared transformational experience with loved ones, these retreats allow for complete flexibility in ceremonies, duration, group size, themes, activities, and dietary preferences.
A private ceremony provides an intimate space for profound self-exploration, offering total privacy and focused guidance. For those journeying with family or close friends, this experience can strengthen connections and foster deep healing within a trusted circle.
Ceremonies are guided by Chelsea, an experienced, trauma-informed facilitator who provides a safe, supportive, and deeply attuned space for healing, alongside our ceremony guardians for private groups.
By tailoring every aspect to your unique intentions, a private retreat ensures a sacred and supportive environment for deep transformation.
We work with the medicines of Divine Grandmother, Niños Santos, Sapito and Hapé in private retreats.
"Walking. I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly, all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands."

Overnight Grandmother or Niños Santos Ceremony
- Intention-setting & energetic preparation
- Ceremony in a safe, sacred container
- Guided integration & grounding in the morning
Private ceremonies offer an intimate and deeply personal space to work in direct relationship with Spirit and the medicines. Each one is uniquely attuned to where you are on your path – honoring your intentions, your current chapter, and what your soul is ready to receive. These ceremonies allow for more time, presence, and integration support, and can also be a good choice for those who may not feel a sense of safety in a group setting.
Example 2-Day Itinerary
- Integration session in the morning
- Rest & nourishment
- Afternoon Niños Santos Ceremony
- Closing integration with hapé
This combination allows participants to release, cleanse, and reset with Divine Grandmother, followed by a more heart-opening, expansive, and playful experience with Niños Santos. It is deeply healing, grounding, and illuminating.
Bufo (5MeO-DMT) Ceremonies
We offer Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) exclusively in a 1:1 setting to ensure a deeply personalized, safe, and transformative experience. This medicine is one of the most powerful entheogens known, often called the “God Molecule” for its ability to dissolve the ego and facilitate profound spiritual awakening.
Private vs. Group Retreats:
Which Path Is Right for You?
There is no single answer, only the one that resonates with the depths of your being. Every journey is unique, and the way we enter into communion with the Sacraments should reflect that. The choice between a private or group retreat is not about right or wrong, but rather about aligning with the experience that will allow you to surrender most fully.
Different medicines carry different traditions, each with its own wisdom. Some, like Ayahuasca, have long been held within the power of the collective, where the energy of the circle strengthens and deepens the work. Others offer themselves in more intimate settings, guiding one inward in solitude or within the sacred trust of a one-on-one container.
The question to ask yourself is not just "what feels comfortable" but rather, "where do I feel safe enough to soften, open, and receive? Which experience will allow me the most growth?"
Group Ceremony
Healing in the Reflection of Others
Our deepest wounds are often forged in relationship, and so too must they be unwoven within relationship. To sit in circle is to witness and be witnessed - to see ourselves reflected in the stories, the struggles, and the breakthroughs of others. This mirrors back to us what is ready to be healed, offering both challenge and deep medicine.
The Amplification of Collective Energy
When we step into sacred space together, we do not journey alone. The collective field carries us, deepens our process, and supports us in ways beyond words. There is a power in surrendering to something greater than ourselves - a current of healing that moves through the room, touching each soul in its own perfect way.
A Deep Bond
Those who sit together in ceremony forge a connection that transcends language. There is a knowing, a recognition. To share such an experience is to strip away the masks, to be seen at the level of the soul, and to emerge with a kinship that cannot be explained, only felt.
PRIVATE Ceremony
A Deeply Personal Journey
To walk this path alone is to step fully into oneself, to meet the medicine in solitude, free from external energy or expectation. Here, the experience is yours alone, undisturbed and uninterrupted, allowing you to drop even deeper into your own process, safely guided and protected both physically and spiritually.
One-on-One Guidance
In a private retreat, your facilitator holds space for you - their presence attuned solely to your energy, guiding you through the experience with reverence and care. This offers a depth of trust, allowing for a highly personalized experience where every moment is crafted to support your journey.
Space to Unfold at Your Own Pace
Without the movement of a group container, you are free to move through your experience in complete alignment with your own rhythm. This can be especially powerful for those working through deep trauma, requiring more privacy, or simply feeling called to go inward in solitude.
What About Journeying With a Partner or Small Group?
For some, the most powerful path lies in walking this journey with a beloved, a trusted friend, or a small private group. This allows for both intimacy and shared transformation – offering the gift of healing together, while still maintaining a deeply personal experience.
However, it is important to ask:
"Can I fully surrender in this space?" "Do I feel safe enough to express everything that arises?" "Is this journey for me, or am I choosing it for someone else?"
Even within a shared container, each journey remains deeply individual. The key is ensuring that the presence of others supports, rather than restricts, your ability to surrender and receive.

For private ceremonies, the client is responsible for arranging the space, and I come to you. Whether it's your home, a rented cabin, or another location that resonates with your journey, the decision is yours. If you do not have accommodation arranged, there is an additional $500 charge per night for a space to accommodate 2-3 people (facilitator included). We are happy to provide guidance on suitable accommodations and will cleanse and protect the space upon arrival.
Transportation beyond an hour’s drive is charged at a rate of $50 per hour after the first hour. If a flight is required and more cost effective, the cost of the flight will need to be reimbursed prior to travel. I always maintain open communication and full transparency with clients to ensure the travel details are clearly agreed upon and understood. I am located in the Portland, OR metropolitan area and also spend a good deal of time in the San Diego area where I do private ceremonies when there. These dates will be communicated in advance through my email list.
Every private ceremony includes one 1-on-1 integration session, scheduled within 7-10 days following the ceremony to support your continued healing and growth. Additional integration sessions are available.
Depending on location and group size, there is a large amount of customization available for group retreats, from bodyworkers to a larger team, to additional services. While we maintain integrity around the sacraments and prioritize safety, which means that full customization in terms of sacraments is not always possible as requested, we will do our best to find a solution that resonates with you.
Cancellation Policy:
If flights have been booked, and not yet reimbursed, your deposit will not be refundable in any timeframe.
You may defer your ceremony one time only. If you cancel again after deferring, your deposit and payments will be forfeited, and further deferment will not be available. No refund will be given for travel expenses that have already been booked, such as a flight ticket.
Working with Men in Private Retreats
Part of my work is to create a safe and nurturing space for the masculine, offering an intuitive and compassionate environment where emotions, vulnerabilities, and deeper levels of self-awareness can be accessed and processed. These aspects are often suppressed in the masculine due to a strong focus on logic, action and non feeling. Yet, the masculine and feminine energies are interconnected—each having its own unique purpose and function, but they thrive when in harmony with one another. By understanding and embracing both energies, we awaken our creativity and vitality.
While I deeply honor and appreciate the opportunity to serve the masculine, safety is of the utmost priority in this space—for both myself and my clients. For this reason, I only work privately with male clients who have already attended a group retreat, ensuring that I know and trust their energy. I believe in the importance of established rapport and trust before entering a more intimate container. I do regularly work with groups of men, and for those who have not yet participated in a group retreat, I bring along a male co-facilitator to ensure safety and comfort throughout the process. Please note, this incurs an additional charge for private ceremonies with 1-3 participants. For private ceremonies of 4+, this is included in the pricing already. I hold deep respect for my brothers and seek alignment with the men I work with.
Reciprocity
A portion of the proceeds from each ceremony are donated to the indigenous medicine conservation fund.
Testimonials
After the ceremony, I was full of love, compassion, and understanding with me and with my wife which helped me to develop a stronger relationship. The space felt comfortable, familiar, compassionate, trustworthy, and comfortable, and the ceremony impacted my way to see the world. I was able to see myself in a different way, which helped me to understand myself and others. It was powerful and vivid.
As I write this, I have sat in ceremony with Chelsea several times over the past two years and plan to continue in the future. Not once have I doubted the purity of her intentions. She knows how to hold a safe, supportive space and gives her full attention to every participant I'm truly grateful to recommend Chelsea and her organization to anyone who is stepping onto the path of Plant Medicine. 🙏🙏🙏
Chelsea’s gentle guidance and feminine grace, have guided me through three extremely transformative experiences that otherwise would have been a disaster. Her beautiful intimate understanding of Ayahuasca allowed me to fully embody, embrace, and cocreate with such a spectacular medicine because I could feel her devotion not only to the journey but to everyone’s safety.
