Opening a World of Grace
Shipibo Rao Event at The Sentinel
August 28 – September 1
At the heart of this transformative five-day, four-night retreat are two traditional Shipibo ayahuasca ceremonies. Guided by Peruvian Maestros, these ceremonies are designed to open the mind to expanded states of consciousness, cleanse physical and energetic impurities, and foster deep inner healing. The sacred combination of ayahuasca and chacruna plants not only purifies but also illuminates, opening pathways to profound visions and insights.
This immersive experience includes a three-call pre-retreat coursework series and a three-call post-retreat integration series, spanning from August through October to help you maximize the full benefits of the journey. It also features a guided 15-day detox cleanse and two months of membership to all SUH weekly offerings, including yoga, Yoga Nidra, breathwork, and meditation.

Participant Testimonials
Diego
The expansion of my heart and being from attending last weekend's retreat keeps moving me to tears. The capacity to experience love and accept myself as I am continues to expand beyond what my mind thought possible. My heart is open. I am humbled by God's/the Universe's grace with me.
Tracy
In my life, I really orchestrate everything around my clients. I give my partner hell about certain ways that he works with our clients because I want to protect them from being upset or being bothered. And it lands in my body. I'm in pain all the time of some sort or the other... And, the short story is, I'm completely pain free today. I mean... this was just not predictable.
Maureen
My experience has been one of literally being broken open. I was a slab of concrete walking into this place. And I'm not that anymore... My heart was broken so long ago by things that happened in my life, things that I has dealt with in therapy, but they were still in my body and I was just so rigid. And, I'm willing to give my heart, fully, to anyone now. I feel so free. That's just the best way to describe it.
