Earth Medicine Weekend

Thank you for your interest in working with the beautiful plant medicine of Washuma, also called San Pedro Cactus. We've been working with this beautiful spirit for literally decades and truly believe in its ability to transform. It's an incredible honor to hold this alter and serve this medicine. Below we've laid out a bit of information about the cactus as well as how our ceremony is held. If you have any doubts, concerns or questions, please let us know using the form below. 🌵🙏

What to expect...

We hesitate to share too much about the effects of Washuma, as it can vary greatly from person to person. So, without going into too much detail, people generally find Washuma to be a very euphoric experience, profoundly connecting them to mother nature and their primal selves. Our nervous system tends to slow down, our minds calm, and we can begin to observe life without so much analysis and "monkey mind". A Washuma Day can be a profound vacation from your self and is often described as "the best day ever!"... With that said, not everyone who works with Washuma immediately experiences this. Sometimes we have healing and cleansing work to do that doesn't always feel good. But we surrender and trust that Washuma is Medicine and here for our highest good.

Don't get too attached as things often shift and flow. We usually begin our Washuma days by gathering at 8:30am. At this time we will discuss the flow of the day, share opening prayers and consume our first cup of medicine. We will find a basecamp and that is where we will continue to hold the prayer. At basecamp, a second cup of medicine will be offered and the space will be held in silence with occasional musical prayers. As the sun begins to set, we make our way back for our closing prayers, followed by dinner.

Book a Call

I love to connect with people before ceremony to ensure it's the right fit or to help guide you through your intentions, or to answer any specific questions you may have. These calls generally last about an hour and I ask for an exchange of $100. If you decide to join us for ceremony, half of the price of the call ($50) will be discounted from the ceremony cost. If you are interested in booking a call with me, there are two steps...
