Mushrooms

Guided ceremonies in the heart of nature to open the heart, with live music and close support. [to be confirmed]

What are sacred mushrooms?

Sacred mushrooms (Psilocybe) have accompanied different peoples for centuries. In Mesoamerica, Mazatec ceremonies call them “holy children”: a medicine to listen, heal and reconnect. [to be confirmed]

The experience is often described as luminous and moving: it opens the heart, awakens creativity and brings your gaze back to what is simple. At the sanctuary they are lived in nature, with a small group and a team that is there for every moment. [to be confirmed]
