After attending the 3-night San Pedro Retreat, my heart is full of gratitude to have chosen The Huachuma Project for this deep healing experience.
Austin is creating such a safe, comfortable but also really effective space to dive deep into the inner work. From the first day,
I felt at ease being there and was impressed by Austin’s profound knowledge, wide-ranging skillset as well as genuine and honest nature.
Learning and receiving guidance from San Pedro was absolutely transformative. The Grandfather medicine brought me face-to-face with my father wound, bringing up buried memories, letting me grieve, and realizing its crushing impact on my whole life so far. But within the same journey, beautifully also let me release a lot of resentment as I was shown my father’s and grandfather’s trauma too. With that understanding, I could embrace my crying inner child and comfort her from the perspective of an adult today.
For anyone considering attending a retreat at The Huachuma Project and being sincere about doing your part of the work, I highly and sincerely recommend it. You are going to be in safe and supportive hands, making sure you are well taken care of.
Try to let go of expectations, trust the medicine and the facilitators, set your intention, surrender, and enter this life-changing experience with openness. If discomfort arises, embrace it. In case of fear or resistance, talk to Austin and let him guide you.
Thank you so much for your incredible work, Austin

My experience at The Huachuma Project has been nothing short of transformative. Having heard glowing reviews from others who attended Austin’s retreats, I was inspired to take part myself—and I’m so grateful I did.
The impact of San Pedro on my healing journey has been profound, It’s been a true game changer, teaching me to approach relationships with men in a healthier way. The deep healing I experienced reached my heart and allowed me to release patterns that no longer serve me. Although moving forward sometimes brings sadness, I now do so with compassion and love, not anger.
What stood out to me most was the ceremony itself—from start to finish, I felt safe and supported. Austin is an extraordinary human being, wise and genuine. I loved that he is authentic and grounded, without any of the spiritual ego that I have encountered with others. Meeting him and his team was truly a gift.
The support from the entire team exceeded my expectations. Their presence, kindness, and wisdom were palpable, especially during one-on-one moments when I faced resistance. Their guidance was both powerful and gentle, and I felt cared for in every moment.
For anyone considering a retreat with The Huachuma Project, my advice is simple: drop your expectations, set your intentions, and allow yourself to surrender with an open heart. Trust Austin and the team fully, and stay with the discomfort if it arises—it will lead you to insights and self-awareness you’ve never experienced before.
This retreat was a life-changing experience, and I couldn’t recommend The Huachuma Project enough.
Thank you, Austin and team, for the safe, loving space you hold.

The retreat struck the perfect balance between introspective work and skilled guidance. I experienced a profound emotional, mental, and spiritual shift that I didn't anticipate. Austin’s approach created a space where I felt safe to explore deep areas within myself.
The one-on-one time with Austin was invaluable. His ability to integrate all his training, techniques, and wisdom helped me break through significant blockages. I felt truly seen and supported throughout the journey.
Austin and his team met my expectations and beyond. I even remember telling him that I don’t think he’s paid enough for the level of support and expertise he provides. The dedication and heart put into this work is evident.
The Huachuma Project is a place of genuine healing and transformation. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of themselves.
Take the leap of faith, your instinct has brought you this far for a reason.
Be brave, open, and know that you are in the safest of hands.
