San Pedrito, Huachuma, Aguacolla

San Pedro, also known as Huachuma or Aguacolla, is often seen as a grandfatherly spirit. The name San Pedro was given by the Spanish after the Apostle Peter, because he holds the keys to the kingdom of heaven. This plant has been used for thousands of years in the Andes for healing, vision, and spiritual awakening. He opens the heart, quiets the mind, and connects you deeply to nature, your soul, and the divine. He opens our energy channels so that we can see our life in a different way, and positive spirits and energies can come in to work and heal physical, mental and spiritual health imbalances and illnesses.

San Pedro gently guides you to release emotional blocks, see with clarity, and remember your true essence. Ceremonies are held in a safe, respectful way, honoring ancestral traditions and the wisdom of the plants. Each journey is unique, offering powerful insight, healing and connection.

Testimonials

"This was my first ceremony with Katie and with San Pedro. A beautiful and gentle experience that brought a clear message and confirmation, and a much needed release was facilitated through a cleansing. Katie created a warm a safe space for everyone - her energy is so bright and gentle. The ceremony was beautiful - from the fire to the music, and, of course, the medicine. My experience was gentle and I felt much lighter the next day. The group was small and felt very comfortable - beautiful, kind, caring and compassionate souls came together to heal. The setting and accomodations were great and we even had our very own frog symphony! I am hoping to do another ceremony soon and highly recommend Katie."

- Bec, May 2025

"Wow. Year after year I come back to work with Katie and Miguel for their sacred plant medicine retreats and ceremonies. Everytime I feel so taken care of, protected, and nurtured in their healing space. If you are considering experimenting with sacred plant medicines, feeling a deep sense of trust and guidance with your shamans, their traditions, and medicine is the foundation for the soul expanding connections and insights you will receive from a ceremony with Allpa Mama Healing. Thank you, Katie and Miguel for sharing your gifts with the world-- for holding healing space with respect, reverence, unity and unconditional Love." 

- Abi, 2024

"An amazing place. I stayed there for two weeks and truly enjoyed the experience. It is located in a very peaceful area, surrounded by the mountains. Miguel and Katie are wonderful and welcoming people. They have a great energy and are very down to earth. I took part in two ayahuasca and two san pedro ceremonies. Throughout all of them I felt safe and taken care of. I was also able to talk to them about my experience freely and get their insights. I would definitely recommend!"

 - Svetlana, 2020

"Miguel and Katie are literal angels, so welcoming, generous and compassionate. All ceremonies were profoundly healing in their own respects, at times very challenging, but very enlightening as well. I felt as though I entrusted Katie and Miguel with my life, only knowing them for a day or two and felt completely seen, safe and cared for. They were both available to talk after ceremonies, as I believe talking about the experience is very important for integration, and they were very open and understanding."

- Emma, 2020

 

Remember- your life is sacred

Location

We will be in a gorgeous house nestled in the southern Andes of Ecuador, known as the Sacred Valley, for the potent, healing energy of this area. 

The house has 4 spacious, modern rooms, and as we only accept 6 guests, maximum 2 rooms will be shared. The house has a gorgeous view of the mountains, a pool, steam room and jacuzzi, so we will have plenty of time to relax, physically detox, and integrate our experiences with the medicines.

We offer fresh, local, organic meals and can cater to your dietary needs. We mainly serve vegetarian foods but also offer fish and chicken, and always have an assortment of fruits to snack on, as well as herbal teas + cacao.
