DETAILS OF OUR OFFERINGS
YOGA
Every day at Sacred Pathways Spiritual Retreats begins with an early morning wake-up call followed by 90 minutes of Yoga with Alejandra. Each class is tailored to participants’ needs and emphasizes starting the day by waking the body, working out pain and tension, and helping acclimate to the retreat environment. Each Yoga class is unique and integrative, including Hatha, Vinyasa, Qi Gong, Yin, Ashtanga, Pranayama Breathwork, and more. Yoga will help you "get into your body," stay healthy, and feel ready for each activity, while also cultivating connection with the elements and higher forces and releasing trauma and old patterns through movement. On select days, expect a more relaxing "Sunset Yoga" in the evenings before bed as an optional practice.
BREATHWORK
The power of the breath has been very well documented. The practice of controlling or exploring the depths of the breath as a spiritual practice goes back thousands and thousands of years - possibly being one of the oldest techniques for spiritual awakening since our existence. At Sacred Pathways, we will explore this practice together - with an eclectic mix of guided breathwork meditations, exploring techniques from both the ancient practices of the Far East, as well as some more modern styles of breathwork invented more recently here in the West.
GUIDED MEDITATION
Guided meditations are a form of meditation which utilize a number of different techniques to obtain or enhance the meditative state. It can simply be a meditation done under the guidance of a trained practitioner or teacher, or it may be through the use of music, imagery and other techniques.
COMMUNITY SHARING CIRCLES
Regular Native American style sharing circles with a talking stick or feather allows each participant to have the floor to speak and share what their heart desires without interruption. These circles are the perfect time to check in, share with the group where you are at, what is going on in your life, what has been coming up for you during ceremonies and to help integrate all the different parts of your experience during the retreat. Medicine and healing is always stronger when shared in community, and with many hearts listening, sharing and communicating allows the healing and integration process to take place more deeply and thoroughly.
KAMBO CEREMONY
Kambo is an ancient medicine secreted from the sweat of the Phyllomedusa bicolor tree frogs that live in the Amazon along the borders of Brazil and Peru. The medicine is collected from live frogs who volunteer themselves when they hear the tribe calling.
Using a stick of dried medicine, the practitioner will moisten and mix it with saliva, then apply superficial burns to the skin to expose the dermis so the medicine can enter the bloodstream and lymphatic system. Participants typically feel the effects within the first minute, including a warm sensation in the body, increased heart rate, and slight swelling of the throat, which is completely normal. Kambo helps detoxify the body of "Panema" or "bad energy"—physically, mentally, and energetically—purging what no longer serves us. Indigenous tribes also use Kambo to aid in hunting, as some of its rare chemical properties and peptides are believed to enhance physical strength and athletic performance.
GRANDFATHER CACTUS CEREMONY
Pedro, named after the Christian Patron "Saint Peter," is traditionally believed to hold the keys to heaven. Drinking this powerful plant medicine brings participants into a mystical state of mind, often described as heavenly bliss, oneness with nature, and connection to a gentle yet strong masculine energy guiding self-healing. San Pedro is typically taken outdoors so the beauty and secrets of Earth Mother, Pacha Mama, become perceptible.
This elemental medicine reveals who you are, why you are here, and how you are woven into the web of life. Known as a medicine of "liquid light," San Pedro elevates participants to the highest realms of heaven, showing inner beauty and the sacredness of all life rather than confronting shadows or fears. The tall, phallic cactus blooms a single flower from its tip, symbolizing the blossoming of our being that occurs through this medicine.
DIVINE FUNGUS CEREMONY
The power of the Divine Fungus should never be understated. This ancient spiritual teacher is one of the oldest and most widely used plant medicines on Earth, known for its consciousness-expanding and healing properties. The fruits of this divine fungus are powerful allies in self-healing, trauma release, and consciousness expansion.
The mycelium network beneath the earth forms connections between plants and lifeforms, while also opening pathways to higher dimensions and multiverses. Working with Divine Fungus can allow access to divine consciousness and higher planes of existence, and many participants report that even a single ceremony can help break old patterns and support lasting transformation.
Each Sacred Pathways Retreat includes one Divine Fungus Ceremony led by Winston and Peace. Traditionally, these ceremonies are performed after a Temazcal to ensure physical and mental clarity for the journey.
TEMAZCAL CEREMONY
"Temazcal" is a Mexican-style sweat lodge where participants sit for 1-2 hours in a small, enclosed structure that is naturally heated by hot stones. The ceremony generally includes prayers and medicine songs as well as extensive sweating and detoxification of the body for many health benefits. Temazcal ceremonies are often done before a Mushroom ceremony to clean the body and mind of participants beforehand so that the Mushrooms can have a deeper therapeutic effect unobstructed by the participants’ egos or impurities.
CACAO CEREMONY
Cacao has a long history of opening the heart and boosting mood, and today more people are exploring its benefits through cacao ceremonies. Cacao comes from the Theobroma Cacao tree, literally “food of the Gods.” The Mayans and other Native peoples of Mesoamerica used it as a sacred drink in ceremonial gatherings to inspire connection, healing, and insight.
When consumed in the right setting, cacao acts as a powerful catalyst for inner work. In our ceremonies, it supports healing, self-love, and the expansion of consciousness. Unlike chocolate, cacao is bitter and unprocessed, prized for its high concentration of antioxidants and health-promoting compounds. It pairs beautifully with practices such as meditation, yoga, dance, community circles, and shamanic journeying.
ECSTATIC DANCE
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform movement journey held in a safe and sacred container often facilitated by a professional DJ. It’s a place where we can be our unique selves and also connect to a common source. It's a form of dance in which the dancers, sometimes without the need to follow specific steps, abandon themselves to the rhythm and move freely as the music takes them, leading to a state of trance and a feeling of ecstasy. The effects of ecstatic dance often begin with ecstasy itself, which may be experienced in differing degrees. Dancers are described as feeling connected to others as well as to their own emotions. The dance serves as a form of meditation, helping people attain serenity and cope with stress.
SOUND HEALING THERAPY
Nikola Tesla once said, “If you want to learn the secrets of the universe, you must learn to think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” He understood the ancient truth known to Nada Yogis and indigenous peoples: all life is music, and matter is energy vibrating at specific frequencies, creating the illusion of solidity. To transform the world, we must shift our own frequency, radiating higher vibrations into the collective.
Sound Healing creates these high-vibrational frequencies, helping participants release stress, clear energetic blockages, and align the body with higher forces rather than the ego. Performed by skilled musicians using drums, singing bowls, gongs, flutes, chimes, bells, and more, this practice tunes the energetic body and supports deep healing and connection.
NATURE HIKE (AKA FOREST BATHING)
Never have we been more disconnected from the natural world. By 2050, 66% of the world’s population is projected to live in cities, and the average American spends 93% of their time indoors. Even a small amount of time in nature, however, can profoundly impact our health.
Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, is the practice of immersing yourself mindfully in nature, using your senses to benefit physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. A two-hour forest bath helps you unplug, slow down, and be fully present, reducing stress, anxiety, and negative emotions. It boosts immunity, improves heart and lung health, and enhances focus, memory, and concentration, making it a powerful tool to combat the effects of a hectic, modern lifestyle.
SACRED TOAD CEREMONY
Bufo Alvarius is a unique toad native to northwestern Mexico and parts of the southern US. Its venom contains naturally occurring entheogenic compounds, which, when vaporized and inhaled, produces an intense, short-lived, consciousness-expanding experience. There are no harmful effects, and participants often report a pleasant energetic afterglow.
This powerful “God molecule” offers experiences of non-duality and can illuminate the limitations that prevent connection with the Infinite. Surrendering to this medicine can expand understanding of reality, restore connection with the Divine, and ground awareness in the experience of oneness.
TEPEZCOHUITE CEREMONY
Known as Mayan Ayahuasca or Black Ayahuasca, tepezcohuíte (te-pez-ko-hui-té) is an ancestral medicine organically extracted from the legendary Tree of Life. When administered properly, it is one of the most powerful and loving plant medicines, offering profound healing for the mind, body, and spirit.
Unlike other sources of the spirit molecule, which are considered recreational, tepezcohuíte surpasses ayahuasca, peyote, and bufo in its therapeutic effects. The whole tree extract contains five human neurotransmitters, supporting calm, heart rate, and breathing. Safe for almost anyone, including seniors with heart conditions, tepezcohuíte is vaporized and inhaled rather than ingested. Its organic composition creates a smooth, pleasant, and floral experience, allowing the medicine to enter and exit the body gently and naturally.
