Ceremony duration
San Pedro ceremonies last between 6 and 15 hours and flow organically, guided by the needs of the group. The ceremony itself is rooted in presence and introspection, with no storytelling from facilitators, allowing participants to focus inwardly. Guests are encouraged to bring a journal to document their personal experiences.
During the cermony
Facilitators provide live music, meditative guidance, and grounding support throughout the ceremony. Silent periods and communal connection allow for deep individual reflection and emotional processing.
Guests must adhere to the retreat's Code of Conduct and Ethics to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all. Smoking or vaping during ceremonies is strictly prohibited.
Gradual closure
Ceremonies transition naturally into integrative practices, such as a shared dinner, storytelling, and communitas to foster connection and collective healing. The group often bonds through shared reflection and relaxed, tribe-like vibes.
