What Is Finding Your Path?
If seeking truth and meaning in life was the driving force behind your spiritual search, then you may feel a long-waited peace upon your first contact with Huachuma. A sense of a magical yet familiar world, which we experienced in our early childhood, becomes within reach again. Unfortunately, that gentle, pure, beautiful and vulnerable self is subject to many influences as we grow up. Each of these influences claim part of the Self. By the time we reach maturity, the only part of the self that remains is the memory of what it once was.
The point of the work we do using sacred Huachuma is to reconnect with that Self to bring it to the surface. By building this bridge we are connecting to the source of our happiness, which so often is cut off as we grow up. This is the healing we should be searching for. How can you be happy if you don’t know who you are? After truly experiencing yourself you realize that to search beyond the point of pure self-awareness is irrelevant. From this place the self can only gaze upon the mystery.

How Are Ceremonies Conducted?
We do ceremonies in the daylight, usually starting at 10am, until 6pm. We take the medicine and share the day in silence and contemplation, surrounded by the stunning beauty of the magnificent Andes.
We also use spontaneous, private conversations to facilitate the process of healing and understanding. We believe that a mutual communication and exchange of ideas is more effective and helpful than a traditional teacher-student relationship, in which the former always keeps a higher ground while the latter maintains an inferior status.
Charged with beauty, love and peace, we return to Huachuma Wasi for the closing of the ceremony. Afterwards everyone is free to do whatever they want. Usually, our guests stay together throughout the evening, cooking meals and sitting by the fireplace, sharing and talking.
We do ceremonies every other day of the week and we are open all year round. The days between the ceremonies are free and can be used as you like. Some people like to stay home, rest, read or write in the garden. Others like to hike or go sightseeing. The days in between the ceremonies are an integration time that allows for any activity to take place.
We do ask for an honest introduction of yourself from which we would expect to learn about your intention, problems and questions you would like to resolve. Your medical and psychiatric history must be honestly disclosed, along with drug and medication use, if any. This will help us in our evaluation to ensure safety for all.
Our time spent together with the medicine is a valuable interaction which often yields healing and understanding. Take a spiritual vacation from the mundane and profane, to find what is special and sacred. Although even one ceremony can have a positive impact on your life, giving yourself more time and respecting the process is more beneficial. Each new ceremony is a continuation of the previous one and builds towards healing and expansion of consciousness.
We also recommend reading both of Sergey’s books.
This can help you to decide whether or not you are prepared for the work we do. If you resonate with the written content, that means you are ready to take the next step. His second book The Mescaline Confession: Breaking Through the Walls of Delusion was endorsed by the best-selling author Graham Hancock and his latest book The Cactus of Sanity: Huachuma in a Time of Chaos take you even deeper into the ancient mystery of Huachuma (San Pedro) shamanism in Peru.
