Integrated Sacred Journeys
​
-
Huachuma (San Pedro)
Huachuma, also called San Pedro, is a sacred cactus medicine of the Andes used in spiritual practice for thousands of years. Known as the “grandfather” medicine, Huachuma is gentle yet deeply powerful, often described as a heart-opening teacher. Ceremonies are held during the day, allowing you to journey in connection with the natural world — mountains, rivers, trees, and sky. Under Huachuma’s guidance, many experience feelings of love, compassion, clarity, and union with all life. It is a medicine of nature, reminding us that healing can be found not only within, but in every living thing around us.

-
Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT)
The medicine of Bufo Alvarius, also known as “the toad,” contains 5-MeO-DMT, one of the most powerful natural entheogens known. This sacred medicine often induces a complete dissolution of the ego, opening the gateway to mystical states of consciousness and the remembrance of pure Oneness. At Espiral, we offer Bufo in one-on-one ceremonies, creating a safe, sacred, and personalized container for such a profound journey. Though the experience itself may last only minutes, the insights and transformations can reverberate for months or even years, bringing lasting clarity, peace, and liberation from limiting patterns. Every Bufo journey is held with the highest respect, preparation, and integration support.
​
-
Psilocybin (Sacred Mushrooms)
Psilocybin, the sacred medicine of mushrooms, has been used by indigenous cultures for millennia to open pathways of healing, vision, and communion with spirit. In guided sessions, psilocybin invites you into a state of expanded awareness where deep emotions can surface, creativity flows, and profound spiritual insights arise. It is often called the “teacher” or “mirror” because it reveals hidden truths and gently shows us where growth is needed. At Espiral, psilocybin ceremonies are facilitated with care and respect, balancing the mystical and the therapeutic. Guests often leave with a renewed sense of joy, connection, and alignment with life’s greater flow.
​
-
Ayahuasca
Known as the “vine of the soul,” Ayahuasca is an ancient Amazonian medicine revered for its profound healing capacity. In ceremony, it opens the doors of perception and guides you into the deepest layers of your being. Participants often experience visions, emotional purification, and spiritual insights that lead to long-term transformation. With careful preparation and skilled facilitation, Ayahuasca supports the release of old traumas, illuminates patterns that no longer serve, and restores balance to the mind, body, and spirit. At Espiral, our Ayahuasca ceremonies are guided with the utmost respect for tradition, safety, and the unique journey of each participant.
​
-
Rapé & Sananga
These Amazonian medicines serve as powerful allies before, during, and after ceremony. Rapé (pronounced ha-peh) is a sacred tobacco-based snuff blown gently through the nostrils to clear stagnant energy, sharpen focus, and connect you with the present moment. Sananga is a traditional plant-based eye drop known to cleanse heavy energies, restore energetic balance, and open spiritual vision. At Espiral, these medicines are used respectfully and intentionally to support your process, helping you ground, align, and prepare for deeper journeys with the master plants.
​
-
Kambo
Known as the “warrior’s medicine,” Kambo is a sacred secretion from the Amazonian giant tree frog, traditionally used for cleansing and strengthening the body, mind, and spirit. Applied through small points on the skin, it works quickly to purge toxins, boost immunity, and reset the nervous system. Participants often experience a deep release — physically, emotionally, and energetically — leaving them with renewed vitality and clarity. At Espiral, our Kambo sessions are held with care, safety, and respect for its powerful tradition, supporting each person’s healing process in a grounded and intentional way.
