HEART-OPENER CACTUS FROM THE ANDES
SAN PEDRO
San Pedro, or ‘Wachuma’, is a gentle yet powerful heart-opener that connects you back to the Earth, your ancestors, and your own internal strength.
This medicine allows you to see the beauty of existence and find back your place within it.

SAN PEDRO Nature Journey
‘Wachuma’ is a heart-opening medicine, and we take it into the open landscapes of Chapada.
We spend the day exploring waterfalls, swimming in fresh rivers, and walking through wide, expansive nature in this UNESCO-recognized natural sanctuary. Wachuma works beautifully with sunlight, space, and movement. The environment becomes part of the process.
There’s laughter, silence, depth. And there’s a feeling of being very present with yourself and the world around you.
At night, we gather back at the center for a bonfire with live music. It’s warm, grounded, and deeply human.
A beautiful way to close a powerful day.
HOW SAN PEDRO WORKS
Mescaline, the psychoactive compound of Peyote, interacts with serotonin receptors and increases sensory and emotional sensitivity.
San Pedro ceremonies typically take place during the day and last 8–12 hours.
Participants may experience:
Emotional release
Enhanced appreciation of nature
Clear introspection
Physical lightness or energy
Because it unfolds gradually, many people describe it as approachable but still profound.
