San Pedro (Huachuma) Plant Medicine

WHAT IS SAN PEDRO ?

This cactus is cherished by the Andean people as a powerful medicine, a sacred teacher, healer plant, and a doorway to the spiritual world.

Each ceremony with Wachuma (San Pedro ) produces a gentle yet profound shift in consciousness, helping us to cleanse and heal the wounds of the past while opening us to a more heart centered and conscious way of being.

San Pedro (Huachuma) is a cactus that has been used in South America for generations by shamans and other spiritual seekers as a vehicle for divination, healing and deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the Cosmos. In Peru, curanderos have used Huachuma to treat depressive symptoms, alcoholism, and mood disorders.

A “master” plant of the psychoactive kind, San Pedro cactus, otherwise known as Wachuma grows all over the Sacred Valley. Containing mescaline (like its northern cousin Peyote), San Pedro has been used for centuries to ignite spiritual, mental and emotional healing. Gentle in its action, San Pedro opens the heart, engendering a feeling of bliss, love and harmony. It facilitates transformation in a manner that is both nurturing and compassionate and invites you to see through your limitations and false beliefs to the truth of who you really are.

Those who have undergone the ceremony report that they are able to connect to their divine, true self.

A feeling of universal belonging—the sense that we are all one—is common. Uniquely, many users report that the Huachuma presents them with “tests” that teach valuable lessons. Practitioners often report a deep and heightened perception of the world as it truly is. For those struggling to know themselves or understand others, Huachuma presents a unique way to specifically explore your inner psyche and your greater place in the world.
