Why choose The Huachuama Project 

Small, Intentionally Held Groups

We intentionally limit each retreat to no more than 12 participants, creating a more personal and supportive environment where everyone has the space to be seen, heard and supported. We believe meaningful connection, individual guidance and a cohesive group dynamic are best cultivated within smaller circles.

Application-Led Retreats

We do not offer instant bookings. Every prospective participant is carefully considered to help determine whether the retreat is the right fit for both the individual and the wider group. Our priority is readiness, not simply filling every available place.

Continued Integration Support

The ceremony is only one part of the journey. We believe the real work begins through integration, where insight is gradually translated into everyday life. That's why we offer lifetime integration support, encouraging participants to continue exploring their experience long after they return home.

why we do things differently

At The Huachuma Project, our priority has never been to fill every retreat or sell every available space. We believe the people who gather around the medicine shape the experience just as much as the medicine itself. For that reason, every prospective participant is carefully considered to determine whether the retreat is the right fit for both the individual and the group.

Rather than offering instant bookings, we invite people to apply. This gives us the opportunity to understand your intentions, answer your questions, and ensure that this retreat is the right next step for you. Sometimes that means welcoming someone onto a retreat. Other times, it means encouraging them to wait until they feel more prepared.

Our retreats are intentionally kept small, allowing us to create a supportive environment where preparation, honest facilitation and meaningful integration are just as important as the ceremonies themselves.

We don't measure the success of a retreat by how many places were filled, but by whether the people who came were truly ready to be there.

Testimonial 

shared by nadine 

"After attending the 3-night Huachuma Retreat, I'm incredibly grateful I chose The Huachuma Project. Austin creates a space that feels both deeply safe and genuinely supportive, allowing you to fully engage with the work. His knowledge, honesty and guidance helped me surrender to the process, and the insights I gained during the ceremonies have had a lasting impact on my life. I left feeling calmer, lighter and with a completely new perspective. Combined with the peaceful setting, comfortable accommodation and thoughtful care throughout, I wholeheartedly recommend The Huachuma Project to anyone who is genuinely ready to do the work."
