About Sacred Valley

A person in traditional colorful clothing holds a small lamb wearing a rainbow-colored wool hat and a beaded necklace, with a bright, blurred background.

The Sacred Valley pulses with ancient magic—woven into the mountains, rivers, and ancient sites. Long before the Incan Empire, this land was seen as a living, breathing being. In Cusco, Incan sites sit atop pre-Incan temples, vibrant markets overflow with handwoven textiles, and the air hums with a timeless reverence.

Beyond Cusco, the Sacred Valley unfolds in emerald peaks and winding rivers. Here, the Apus (mountain spirits) stand guard, and the energy of Pachamama, Mother Earth, is palpable in every step. Ceremonies, offerings, and ancestral traditions still shape daily life.

From the majestic ruins of Ollantaytambo to the mystical peaks of Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley calls to those seeking healing and reconnection with the sacred pulse of life.

Join us for 8 days of pure Magic

Plant Medicines & Ceremonies

  • Huachuma (San Pedro), often called “The Grandfather”, is a master teacher of interconnection, dissolving the illusion of separation and rooting us into the wisdom of the natural world. It clears emotional stagnation, softens the heart, and teaches strength through surrender. By opening our perception, Huachuma helps us feel the pulse of life in all things, deepening our bond with nature and reminding us of our place within it.

    Lauren will guide us to make our own medicine from the locally harvested cactus in a workshop. Optional Huachuma Ceremony when we visit the Sacred Site, Kinsa Cocha.

  • Cacao is a heart medicine that fosters connection, self-love, and emotional openness. It melts inner resistance, allowing grief, joy, and tenderness to flow freely. Through its uplifting and grounding energy, cacao deepens our connection to ourselves and others, guiding us into a state of love, gratitude, and presence.

    We will have Cacao Ceremonies with locally grown cacao from a Peruvian family farm to open the retreat circle, with Peruvian Elders, on the Waterfall Hike, and with Ecstatic Dancing.

  • The temazcal is a traditional ceremonial sweat lodge, offering a deep purification of body, mind, and spirit. This ancient ritual, guided by sacred steam and ritualistic prayer, invites profound release, healing, and renewal as we connect to the elements of fire, water, earth, and air.

  • Ayahuasca is a medicine of deep purification, bringing unconscious wounds to the surface to be released. It works through visions, purging, and direct communion with Spirit, dissolving the weight of past pain and ancestral burdens. By stripping away illusions, Ayahuasca reveals our truth, reconnecting us with the sacredness of existence and the profound intelligence of life itself.

    Optional 4 day extension with Lauren’s Shipibo Maestra from the Peruvian Amazon, Maestra Estela. Maestra Estela has accepted the invitation to fly into the Sacred Valley to hold us in 2 Private Ayahuasca Ceremonies after the 8 day retreat for those who wish to extend.

 FAQs

  • Yes, there are certain health conditions and medications that can make it unsafe to consume Ayahuasca or Huachuma (San Pedro), and it’s very important to be transparent about your health history during the intake process.

    For Ayahuasca, people with the following should not participate:

    • Heart conditions or very high blood pressure

    • Severe mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or psychosis

    • Epilepsy or seizure disorders

    • Recent surgeries or major health events

    • Use of antidepressants, especially SSRIs, MAOIs, or other medications that affect serotonin levels (due to risk of serotonin syndrome)

    For Huachuma (San Pedro), caution is advised if you have:

    • Heart conditions or hypertension

    • Mental health disorders, particularly if you are prone to mania, paranoia, or dissociation

    • Diabetes or blood sugar regulation issues

    • Certain medications, including psychiatric medications or blood pressure meds

  • Altitude sickness is something to be aware of when traveling to the Sacred Valley. The region sits at a high elevation, with Cusco around 3,400 meters (11,150 feet) and the Sacred Valley itself ranging from about 2,700 to 2,900 meters (8,800 to 9,500 feet). While many people adjust just fine, some may experience symptoms like headaches, nausea, fatigue, or shortness of breath during the first day or two.

    We recommend arriving a day or two early to allow your body time to acclimate, staying well hydrated, avoiding alcohol upon arrival, and resting as needed. Coca tea and certain natural remedies are also commonly used locally to ease symptoms. If you have any medical conditions or concerns, it’s a good idea to consult your healthcare provider before the trip.

    We’ll be taking things gently at the beginning of the retreat to support a smooth transition and give your body time to adjust to the altitude.

  • You are more than welcome to join the retreat even if you choose not to partake in plant medicine. Participation is always optional, and we deeply honor each person’s path, pace, and intuition.

    The retreat is designed to be a rich, nourishing experience on many levels — with or without medicine. The ceremonies take place in sacred natural settings and offer a deeply healing container through music, meditation, breathwork, prayer, and connection to the Earth. Simply being present in these ceremonies can bring profound insight, emotional release, and spiritual connection.

    You’ll also receive so much through the other offerings — from yoga and astrology to energy healing, nature immersion, and heart-centered community. Every part of the retreat is curated to support your growth, healing, and inner alignment.

    Trust that however you choose to engage, you'll be held with love and care.

  • Yes - please get in touch with Lauren to let her know so she can prepare the chefs in advance!

  • Yes - get in touch with Lauren and we can set up a brief call to discuss your fears, more about the medicine, and she will also share her experiences from her 5 weeks at Ayamadre and other Ceremonies in the past.
