6 Day Intimate Huachuma Retreat | Todos Santos, Baja California | Feb 19 - 24, 2025
With Francesca Barone, Neils Nahm and Bernhard Karshagen
February 19 - April 24, 2025
Join us for a 6-day medicine gathering of ceremony and ritual along the breathtaking Pacific coastline of Baja California Sur, Mexico. This gathering will be held in a stunning and spacious luxury villa along sprawling desert coastlines, just 30 minutes south of the famous Todos Santos village. This unique and intimate family-style immersion will weave together the ancient wisdom of Andean Huachuma medicine, rejuvenating breathwork, embodiment practices, earth medicine, beautiful locally inspired meals, and deep community connection. Surrounded by the serene beauty of the desert and the ocean’s embrace, we invite you to retreat with us into a sacred space for profound healing and a celebration of our aliveness.
The ceremonies will be held by our dear friend and incredible Huachumero, Bernard Karshagen. Bernard is originally from South Africa and has been on a deep journey with plant medicine and psycho-spiritual healing since 2007.
Bernard has lived and worked full time with Huachuma in Sacred Valley, Peru since 2010. His vast experience and deep relationship with this medicine brings a depth that is truly indescribable and unlike any other San Pedro offering we have seen.
Huachuma is a deeply unique heart medicine, balancing gentleness with great depth and profundity, this medicine speaks to our bodies, not our minds. Bernhard is deeply connected to the heart of the Andean energies of the Apus and Pachamama, as well as divine and celestial energies which infuses his work with incredible depth and energetic alignment. He also works with African shamanic traditions, creating such a unique blend of medicine and healing potential that is truly one of a kind.
