Huachuma Medicine (Wachuma /San Pedro)
This ancestral plant medicine Huachuma, has thousands of years of use in the Andes, supporting dozens of cultures from Colombia all the way through the Andes to northern Argentina and Chile.
This medicine is pure unconditional Love, the Love that created the entire Universe and continues to create each day, and the Love that we also are as children of the Universe.
This master plant guides us within through the realms of our inner consciousness and also assists us in the recognition of our place in the Cosmos and the profound connection we have with Mother Earth, bringing us closer to her heart and her embrace and ready to receive all the support and blessings she has for us. It helps us cleanse and heal our imbalances and energetic blockages to manifest greater health and vitality; to liberate through the powerful medicine of forgiveness those experiences from the past that may have caused (or still cause) trauma, pain, and suffering in the present, limiting our true nature to continually reinvent and recreate ourselves each day, living in the pure innocence of the eternal child, in the wonder of the miracle of each new dawn.
Wachuma acts as a mirror where we may observe our habits, conditionings, and beliefs to see whether or not they really serve us or if we need them, as well as to recognize the limitations of the ego and how to liberate ourselves from its control while bringing deeper clarity and calm into our minds.
Through this sacred space and sacred time in ceremony with Wachuma, we return back to Source, back to our origins as pure love, creative potential, and possibility, living in abundance and flourishing as human beings in the dance of creation.
Accommodations: Local house.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

Dusty Oren
For as long as I can remember, I have been on a journey—a journey marked by struggle, self-discovery, and growth. A path that has taken me through jails, mental institutions, prisons, addictions, and even homelessness. My life has not been easy; it has been paved with challenges, doubts, and many moments of darkness. Yet, through it all, I found a purpose that burned brighter than any hardship: the desire to help other men find themselves.
There was a time when I felt lost, and disconnected from my true self. I know what it means to carry the weight of expectations, to battle insecurities, and to question my worth. I endured the pressure to conform to societal standards of what a man should be, often feeling like I was falling short. But it was in those moments of vulnerability that I began to understand the power of authenticity.
I realized that true strength lies in embracing who we are—in our flaws, our fears, and our dreams. It was through facing my own struggles that I found clarity. I learned that growth is not linear, and healing is not a destination but an ongoing process.
This journey ignited a passion within me: to guide other men on their paths to self-discovery. I believe that every man deserves to live a life of purpose, free from the chains of doubt and societal pressures. I want to create a space where men can be honest, where they can heal, and where they can grow into the best versions of themselves.
My mission is to remind every man that he is not alone. We all have a story, and it is through sharing our experiences that we find strength, connection, and hope. This is my journey. And now, I am here to walk alongside others on theirs.
As part of this mission, I invite you to join me on the Sacred Peru Men's Retreat—a transformative experience designed to reconnect men with their inner selves, nature, and brotherhood. Together, we will explore the depths of our being, embrace vulnerability, participate in San Pedro ceremonies, and emerge with renewed clarity and purpose. Come join us on this sacred journey to rediscover the strength and wisdom within.

Marshall Stepney
As a Certified Master Hypnotist and resident Hypnotherapist, my role is to guide others on a personal journey to discover and dissolve internal blocks, replacing them with healthier alternatives. My 15+ years as a Nature Guide in Appalachia have forged a deep connection with Mother Earth. By allowing ourselves to simply be, free from societal pressures and the bombardment of media, we connect to the universe's boundless energy and most powerful, the energy of love for yourself, love for others, and love for all things in your life.
Throughout my life, I've faced extreme lows and periods of darkness, often masking my true feelings to appear happy. Following a devastating divorce in Japan, I fought relentlessly to remain a constant presence in my two children's lives despite efforts to erase me from their world. This unmeasurable amount of pain transformed me, teaching me the power of self-love and acceptance. These trials instilled in me resilience and a commitment to live authentically, ultimately guiding me toward a career in hypnotherapy to help others find that same inner peace and self-love.
In the spirit of brotherhood, set in Peru's sacred mountains, where you feel the closeness of the heavens, I invite you to join my friend Dusty and me on a transformative journey. This retreat is designed to probe the depths of our beings, to release what no longer serves us, and to awaken the divine love that rests dormant within. This experience is more than a mere trip; it is a call to reclaim our inner strength, offering hope and proving that living a life aligned with one's true desires is achievable. Join us to rediscover your own strength and wisdom.
