San Pedro Ceremonies in Playa del Carmen

San Pedro, also known as Huachuma, is a heart-opening cactus medicine from the Andes. Used in traditional ceremonies for thousands of years, it is known for bringing emotional healing, expanded awareness, and a deep sense of connection to nature, self, and spirit. Gentle yet powerful, San Pedro often leads to a grounded, peaceful transformation.

What to Expect

San Pedro ceremonies are typically daytime journeys that last 6–10 hours. The experience unfolds gradually, guiding you into a soft, clear, and connected state. You may feel emotional release, a heightened sense of love and unity, and powerful realizations about your life path or relationships. The medicine works through the heart — not forcefully, but with clarity and grace.

We create a safe and sacred space to support your journey, with nature as a co-facilitator and plenty of time for reflection and integration.

Tradition & Use

San Pedro has been used for millennia in the Andes, particularly by Quechua and other Indigenous groups of Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. It is traditionally taken for healing, guidance, and connecting with Pachamama (Mother Earth). Our ceremonies are inspired by these traditions and held with great respect for their sacred origins.

Safety & Preparation

San Pedro is generally gentle and well-tolerated, but we still screen each participant to ensure safety. We’ll offer preparation guidance including light fasting and intention setting. As with all medicines, certain health conditions or medications may not be compatible, and we’ll discuss this with you beforehand.
