House of Ascend

We host an intimate bespoke entheogen retreat annually in the Winter season at our family-owned sanctuary located in the heart of the Sacred Valley, Peru. This mystical experience offers you deep insights into the Self and the Universe, giving you a greater sense of connection and spirituality fostering compassion and gratitude with the elements of Mother Nature.

Huachuma also known as San Pedro, The Grandfather or Trichocereus Pachanoi is an ancient entheogen cactus and it is one of the most sacred and wise consciousness from the Andes (2,000–3,000m above sea level). Inviting it into your life to work with is a big deal, even when taking smaller doses. The effects of Huachuma can be profound, and this practice can positively affect your entire life.  By connecting more deeply with yourself, you become more aware of spaces within that need healing, how you relate to and communicate with self and others, thoughts, patterns, behaviour, and so much more. Huachuma is a Heart Expansion plant medicine.

In Huachuma Ceremony you'll experience Four Phases:

This is the initial phase of the Huachuma experience. As you slowly delve into your journey, you'll notice changes in your perception, mood, along with a heightened states of awareness.

• Immersion Phase

In this phase, you start to dive deeper into the layers of Self. You are immersed in memories and emotions while gaining a deeper connection with your Mind & Body. Bodywork Therapy is offered to guide you into your journey deeper, excessing and deciphering Karmic codes.

• Reflection Phase

In the reflection phase, the intensity slows down a little and you can look back at the experience with a clearer Mind. You’ll immerse in somatic movements, breathwork and sound meditation journeys.

• Emergence Phase

During the emergence phase, you'll start to ground back down into your Body, sensations start to minimise as your Mind & Body slowly settles back into your physical surroundings. This is when we offer farm to table dinner and bonfire sharing circle after.
