ABOUT ESPIRAL

A vocation
to serve

"We are here to serve the medicines, the Earth, and each person who feels called to join us on this path of self-discovery, healing, and renewal."

Espiral was founded by a dedicated team who share a deep commitment to integrity, authenticity, and respect for ancestral traditions. With decades of combined experience, we create spaces where genuine transformation can unfold — always with humility, compassion, and care.

SAN PEDRO AS PRIMARY MEDICINE

 

We honor Huachuma as our cornerstone — sustainable, gentle, and profoundly heart-opening. A grandfather medicine of the Andes.

HOLISTIC APPROACH

 

Alongside Huachuma, we offer Bufo Alvarius, Kambo, cacao,  and creative integration tools — for healing at every level of being.

ROOTED IN RECIPROCITY

 

We source food locally, honor Andean traditions, and direct resources toward ecological and community-based projects in the Sacred Valley.

PROVEN LIVED EXPERIENCE

Our team has guided hundreds of persons  through depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, and life transitions — with expertise born from  own healing journeys.

"Healing is not something we give you. It is something the medicines, the land, and your own truth reveal — we simply hold a safe space to let it happen."

Theo 

Slakey

            "He overcame addiction through San Pedro — and has spent a         decade helping others do the same."

Born in the USA and raised in France, Theo found his healing path through a profound relationship with the San Pedro cactus, overcoming depression and addiction to alcohol and heroin. He carries that hard-won gratitude into every ceremony, serving with love, humility, and integrity.

Living in the Sacred Valley since 2013, he spent six years serving Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) at Arkana Spiritual Center, guiding hundreds through awakening and remembrance. Beyond ceremony, Theo is a painter and musician — weaving art and music into the healing process as tools for integration.

Hector

Hurtado

            "An architect of sacred space — born in the Atacama Desert, trained in the Katukina lineage."

Born on December 25, 1980, in the heart of Chile's Atacama Desert, Héctor brings together a formal background in architecture with 13 years of immersion in ancestral medicine. Since 2010, he has studied deeply within the Brazilian Katukina Noke Koi tradition from the state of Acre — specializing in Kambó and Ayahuasca.

His work has taken him across the USA, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Costa Rica, where in 2023–2024 he served as facilitator and translator at the renowned Soltara Healing Center. A songwriter and bridge between cultures, Héctor integrates experience, sensitivity, and deep respect for the traditions he carries.

- THE SPACE

Held by the Sacred Valley — Kinsapacha, Urubamba

            "A sanctuary where the land itself becomes part of the medicine."

Our retreats are hosted at Kinsapacha — a conscious boutique refuge nestled in Quinsacucho, Urubamba, in the heart of the Sacred Valley. Surrounded by mountains, ancestral paths, and organic gardens, it is a space built with love, intention, and deep respect for the Andean land.

Kinsapacha offers everything that supports genuine transformation: the stillness to go inward, the beauty to inspire awe, and the warmth to feel held. Its geodesic dome provides a sacred container for ceremony, yoga, and meditation — while the biohuerto, green spaces, and mountain views nurture the body and spirit between sessions.

More than a hotel, Kinsapacha shares Espiral's values — honoring local traditions, caring for the earth, and offering a space where healing can unfold naturally and at its own pace. It is, in every sense, a partner in the work we do together.
