Sacred Medicines Ceremonies
At Shamanica Institute we emphasize the sacrality of the journey and the ceremonial aspect of working with these powerful exploration tools. We see the Preparation, the Set & Setting and the Integration as important as the ceremony itself.
San Pedro and Psilocybin Mushrooms ceremonies
We are offering San Pedro and Psilocybin Mushrooms in private and group ceremonies.
The “Preparation” to connect with the Sacred space of the ceremony includes stating a clear intention for the journey, fasting, and meditation. Before the ceremony takes place we offer free private consultations for individuals who want to attend the ceremony and we go over the required preparation steps. Based on the attendee’s daily routine we will set together a preparation plan.
- The consultation can occur over the phone, in Online meetings (Zoom, Skype, Google Meet and…), and in some cases, in person.
- The consultation will take place at least one week before the ceremony and the duration is one hour.
The ”Set & Setting” respectively refer to the internal and external factors that influence your psychedelic experience. “Set” is a reflection of your inner climate—your personality, beliefs, perceptions, and so on. “Setting” refers to the ceremonial space and the way a safe, solid, secure and sacred space is created and maintained throughout the journey by the facilitators.
- We will clean and open the ceremonial space
- We will use Sacred tobacco (Mapacho). Rapé will be also offered.
- A Sacred Fire will be maintained throughout the ceremony
- Limpiezas will be performed when needed
- Assistance throughout the ceremony will be assured for each participant
The process of taking information from the experience, making sense of it, and integrating the information into one’s daily life is the purpose of “Integration“. A psychedelic experience lasts just a few hours but what you integrate from it is what will last a lifetime.
- We offer a free Integration session over the phone, in Online meetings (Zoom, Skype, Google Meet and…), and in some cases, in person.
- The Integration session will take place in the week after the ceremony and the duration is one hour.
- We are available for further Integration work if needed.

Entheogens Sharing & Integration Circle – Support Group
You are invited to our informative community weekly gathering where we will explore different aspects of Sacred Medicines.
We will touch upon the rewards and risks, preparation, integration, historical information, questions and answers. We will reflect on our past experiences and share with the group.
The intention of this gathering is to meet like-minded people, to give feedback from different experiences and to create a network of trust and support. This circle is open to anyone who has worked with or may be considering working with Sacred Plants and is interested in the exploration of non-ordinary states of Consciousness.
Every time we will meet we will explore different topics and we will have one guest speaker, but the structure of the program is open and will change as we continue this journey.
Looking forward to seeing you!

Temazcal – Sweat Lodge
A ceremony that combines elements of Native American and Mesoamerican rituals to bring cleansing to your mind, body, and soul.
The ritual performed during the ceremony makes possible the connection with the four elements of the world which are earth, water, fire and air. The steam (produced by the water poured over stones heated in the sacred fire) unites each participant to these elements inside the lodge which represents the womb of Mother Earth.

The Toltec path of recapitulation
Recapitulation is one of the techniques described by Toltecs as part of the mastery of transformation, and is about restoring or recapitulating lost life force.
The loss of life‐force is known as Soul‐Loss, and it can take place when we suffer a trauma, have an accident, experience strong emotional exchanges with a loved one, separation from a partner, death of a loved one, go through a pervasive period of difficult circumstances. When we undergo a severe trauma typically a part of our vital nature goes away, so that we can survive whatever is happening to us. It is a way for the body and consciousness to survive severe trauma. Problems develop when the soul part or fragment does not return. It may not want to come back, or may not be able to return due to the nature of the trauma.
Recapitulation involves re-living and re-processing the original traumatic event and experiencing the emotional pain again until it feels fully discharged and emptied, and then transforming our initial perspective about what really happened, about the true significance of the past action behind its surface appearance. In a sense, it is an act of re-writing the past, because there is no past except in our present recollections. Recapitulation also involves retrieving any parts of yourself that are living in memories that are painful, and bringing them ‘online’. Soul Retrieval is one of the most well‐known and effective practices to this end.
This is a one-day workshop, from 9:00am until 4:30pm.

Vision Quests
Dare to take the plunge and prepare for a retreat alone in nature for four days, without food. This transformative rite of passage has been practiced in most Indigenous nations for hundreds of years. It can transform your life and bring tremendous clarity of Vision (of purpose) about your life and where it is headed.
