San Pedro Medicine


San Pedro Cactus






Huachuma Medicine




San Pedro is a cactus native to the Andes Mountains of Peru and Ecuador. In traditional Andean medicine. In South America, it is also known as Huachuma or Trichocereus Pachanoi. The earliest archaeological evidence discovered is a stone carving of a Huachumero found at the Jaguar Temple in northern Peru. Textiles from the same region and period of history depict the cactus with jaguars and hummingbirds, two of its guardian spirits, and with spiral symbols, representing its ability to produce a visionary experience.

Huachuma ceremonies where the plant is consumed as a tea are still held today in parts of the world. These ceremonies may cure the illness of emotional, mental, or physical nature. They may illuminate the future through prophetic and divinatory qualities of the plant, assist one to overcome fears, to ensure success in one's ventures, to rekindle love and enthusiasm for life and to experience the world as divine. The San Pedro cactus brings in the masculine energy of the Heavens (from above), contrasting it to Ayahuasca which brings in the feminine energy of Mother Earth (from below). 

One Andean shaman describes some of the effects of the plant: "First, a dreamy state… then great visions, a clearing of all the faculties… and the detachment, a type of visual force inclusive of the sixth sense, the telepathic state of transmitting oneself across time and matter, like a removal of thoughts to a distant dimension".

San Pedro is a teacher of great compassion and understanding. It shows us how to live in balance and harmony; how to love, respect, and honor all living beings. It shows us we are children of light, by being able to perceive this light within us. Each person's experience will be unique, as we are all individual beings. Drinking San Pedro is a personal journey of discovery, of the self and the universe.

Ayahuasca Ceremony

Ayahuasca Ceremony When you come to the Ayahuasca ceremony, be ready for an eye-opening experience. Ayahuasca takes you into the universe within you and shows you many things about yourself, your life, and the world. You can focus on your intention and purpose for the ceremony, and Ayahuasca always responds. Ayahuasca is very sentient and is paying attention to what you need. Sometimes Ayahuasca has something different to show you than what you had originally intended to work on, as Ayahuasca knows what you need to focus on first in your life to clear the way for the other things you want to address. Try to surrender to whatever experience Ayahuasca gives you. The medicine always knows best what you need. Sometimes people get an unexpected experience but remember that what Ayahuasca shows you is what is necessary for your healing or enlightenment. Approach the Ayahuasca experience in a truly surrendered way, let down ego defenses, and walk away from your fears because they

Mambe Medicine ~ Coca Leaf

Image
Mambe Medicine Coca leaf (Erythroxylum coca) and Mambe, (toasted and pulverized coca leaf mixed with the ash of Yarumo leaves), have been used ceremonially in the Andean and Amazonian regions of South America for thousands of years.  The earliest record of the ceremonial use of the plant can be traced to Huanca Prieto in northern Peru. Since then the plant has maintained importance in indigenous communities’ offerings to Pachamama, Inti, guardian spirits of the surrounding forests, trees, and mountains (Apus). In these communities, the plant is also used as a tool for promoting productive conversations amongst community members, and for making decisions that affect the well-being of others.  When taken along with Ambil, or a tobacco paste, Mambe opens our throat chakra, sweetens our words and lends transparency and directness to our speech.  This tradition of conversing with Mambe after sundown for many hours as a community is to Mambear and Ambilear.  During this
