Transformational
Plant Medicine Retreats.
Journey into healing and self-discovery with guided plant medicine ceremonies, sacred traditions, wilderness adventures, and holistic care.
Our Approach
Transformative Ceremonies and Healing Retreats at Cinco Medicos
Our ceremonies are led by highly trained and experienced practitioners. Specializing in San Pedro cactus medicine, we also work with a variety of revered plant medicines, including ayahuasca, mushrooms, kambo, coca, willka, tobacco, and more. Each experience is carefully designed to support the personal growth, healing, and exploration of every participant.
Our integrative approach offers a well-rounded path to healing, including:
Shamanic Practices: Guided by centuries-old traditions, we incorporate icaros (healing songs), despachos (offerings), limpiezas (cleansings), florecimientos (floral baths), mesadas (ceremonial altars), and huacas (visits to sacred spaces) to honor and align with the spirit of the plants and the Earth.
Ancient Exercises: At times we will incorporate yoga, meditation, sound healing, breathwork, and immersive nature experiences deepen our connection with the body, spirit, and surroundings, enhancing the transformative potential of each journey.
Modern Techniques: Talk therapy, massage, preparation/integration sessions, educational workshops, and journaling help you to learn and process your experiences with clarity and support, bridging your healing from the retreat into daily life.
Preparation
Before each ceremony, we take the time to truly get to know you, creating a safe and supportive space for personal reflection and preparation. We engage in meaningful conversations about your values, goals, struggles, and successes. Together, we explore important questions: Who are you? What do you want and need? What are your strengths and challenges? How are your relationships and work life? Are you satisfied with where you live? These insights guide us in crafting an experience aligned with your intentions and help set the groundwork for meaningful growth.
We encourage participants to spend time reflecting and focusing on their intentions beforehand, staying open to curiosity and self-discovery. As we gain an understanding of your journey, we support you in cultivating the resilience, clarity, and confidence to navigate life’s challenges and celebrate your unique path.
Our intention is that you leave Cinco Medicos with a renewed sense of purpose, equipped with tools for healing and growth, and inspired to embody and share your authentic self with the world.

We help people who…
1) Suffer from mental or chronic illness.
Including anxiety, depression, addiction, autoimmune disorder, PTSD, chronic pain; family, marriage or work issues, grief, & more. Many have….
Seen countless doctors, specialists, therapists, coaches, trauma experts…
Tried multiple modalities, prescriptions, procedures & treatments…
Reached the end of their rope & feel desperate (but motivated) to make this the last stop on their healing journey…
Feel like life is “too much” to handle & have no idea what to do about it.
2) Feel stuck or need a reset.
You may be making good money, married to or dating someone you love, talented & in good shape, own property, but underneath…
You know something's “missing” or “off” but can’t tell what
You need to change but don’t know how, when, where, or why
You’re confused, ambivalent, procrastinating, avoidant, and/or have been looping in similar patterns for a while
3) Want more joy, connection, & purpose.
Perhaps you feel lost, isolated, empty, apathetic, hopeless, burnt-out, or dead inside, wondering…
“What's the point?” “Why try?”
“Where do I find meaning?”
“What’s my purpose?”
“What do I value?”
4) Want to grow & develop personally.
You are at a crossroads or in transition, evaluating & asking yourself…
“What do I want to do next?” “Who am I?”
“What are my strengths and weaknesses? “What can I offer?”
“Who do I want to become?” “How do I become that person?”

"I stopped my medication, something I had tried to do unsuccessfully a number of times. But this time I did “cold turkey” with no ill effects and haven’t needed since. I’m relieved to not be relying on medication. One needs to be very careful in choosing a retreat as there are some untrustworthy practitioners out there. However, Jeremy is one you can trust to provide a safe container for healing. If and when I have the opportunity to spend more time with Huachuma, I will have no reservations about working with Jeremy and Cinco Medicos again.”

“Jeremy has a gift for providing just the right amount of guidance and space for each individual he shares this medicine with. Couple this with his pure intention to bring love and peace to all those he works with and the experience he provides is both profound and beautiful. Through inner visions and deep, raw emotions, I have found my self again and I am looking forward to a more centered, creative and loving existence with a strong desire to be of service to all (including me!)."

"The retreat took place in the most serene and beautiful environment — peaceful and free from distractions. The icaros sung by Jeremy were absolutely profound. The insight I received from my journey is something I will cherish forever and has healed me on many levels. I realized: I’m in control of my own life and my soul. I feel a love inside of me in a more deeper and pure way that was not present prior to working with the plants."

“I had the very distinct pleasure of working with Jeremy for five weeks in Peru at a Huachuma retreat. Jeremy has been instrumental in my personal healing process. His knowledge of plant medicine is impeccable and his years of training stand out. In an industry full of fakes, thieves and charlatans Jeremy is truly special. His level of integrity and devotion to plant medicine is, in my opinion, unsurpassed. Jeremy is authentic. He’s a true healer.”

"Working with Jeremy and Huachuma was an incredible experience. With Jeremy's support, I was able to access my truest, most authentic self, which was full of ease, love, and connection. His calm and trustworthy temperament was further complemented by his deep understanding of the medicine and its healing process. I could not imagine my first Huachuma experience with anyone else as a facilitator. Thank you, Jeremy!"

"The feeling that I have of being around Jeremy is one of trust in so many ways. I would unhesitatingly trust him to keep me safe; to guide me through whatever storm or challenge or even life-threatening scenario that I could possibly imagine. I also trust that no matter what I was feeling, be it happy and energized or down and out, I would feel comfortable being that way around him. He is the kind of guy who knows what it’s like to be human on a real and deep level, and he can hold space or be with someone through whatever they are going through."

"Thank you one million times, Jeremy. You are a confidently calm guide who brings reverence for peace, respect for curiosity and quiet positivity along on your journeys. Your own experience with curiosity for inner and outer explorations of knowledge shows in his approach to guiding others on their own paths. You have helped me by asking questions to truly understand my goals, and gently encouraged me to walk the path myself. You have a wealth of knowledge about the healing power of plants, and your respect for the process makes you a powerful ally and confidant on the path towards positive change and growth."
