Peru · June and July 2027

Peru Retreats

Huachuma (San Pedro) retreats in the Sacred Valley, run by the Foundation through Huachuma Works: you learn, you plant at the garden, and you sit in ceremony.

What It Is

Each retreat is ten days in Pisac, at the lower end of the Sacred Valley. You work, you learn, you work with Huachuma, and you plant cactus.

On the Huachuma Works site the program is called Huachuma in the Sacred Valley, and it runs on two paths, the Heart Path and the Fire Path. It is the same retreat, and the whole of it is there.

Heart Path
July 1 to 11, 2027
Fire Path

What You Do Learning, preservation, ceremony

Learning

The retreat sits inside six months: four weekly calls before you travel, which go through the materials, then your time in the valley, and four integration sessions after you are home.

Preservation

Everybody who comes plants. Cuttings go into the terraces at the Taray Preservation Garden and they stay there. A cutting set now takes years to reach any size, so the planting is for the years to come.

Ceremony

You sit in ceremony during the retreat. That part of the program is described in full on the Huachuma Works site, with the rest of what the days hold.

Who Runs It

Huachuma Foundation

Runs the Peru retreats, through Huachuma Works, the company it owns. Every dollar of profit returns to the Foundation and is applied to its charitable purposes, which are preservation, education and community.

Our Mission

Huachuma Works

The company the retreats are run through. The applications, the dates and the prices sit on its own site, with the rest of the retreat.
