Alchemy of Machu Picchu Yoga Retreat 2027
A Sacred Return

THE RETURN

Some journeys call you back. Others call you for the very first time. This is that journey — and whichever one it is for you, you belong in this circle.

After the transformation of their first pilgrimage to Peru, Sianna Sherman and Masood Ali Khan are returning to the Sacred Valley for a Soul Sanctuary return, and this time, we’re inviting you to come home to yourself alongside us. Whether you journeyed with us before or are arriving in Peru for the very first time, this is your invitation into the circle.

The Return is a sacred journey aligning the day’s visit to Machu Picchu with the powerful 8-8 Lion’s Gate portal. The retreat blends yoga, alchemical practice, sonic medicine, hypnotherapy, and traditional Andean ceremony into one unforgettable arc of transformation. This isn’t a retreat you attend; it’s a pilgrimage living inside of you. You’ll leave not just rested, but rewired: a vibrant new vision for your life, activated at 8,000 feet, in the crystalline vibration of one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Each day, Sianna guides you through a Rasa Yoga practice, asana, mantra, mudra, pranayama, meditation, an alchemy for the soul designed to open the heart and awaken the imagination. Masood carries you with his sacred work and sonic alchemy with the handpan, mantra, meditative music, and the union of your heart and voice with mantra and heart songs.

Peruvian guides root the whole journey in a traditional Andean ceremony, deepening your connection to the Earth in the Sacred Valley, and through the Karma Yoga Service Project, you give back to the land and people who hold this sacred space.

Peru speaks directly to the second chakra the Svadhisthana, “one’s own abode,” the dwelling place of self. This is the seat of creativity, creation, and emotion, the foundation of authentic connection, with others and with your own becoming. There is no more potent place on Earth to do this work than here.

And this time, it culminates exactly where it should: The profound Soul Sanctuary experience at Machu Picchu itself to witness the ancient City of Light illuminate around you, right through the peak of the 8-8 Lion’s Gate.

This is the return. This is the journey of a lifetime… again.

WHY COME BACK — WHY COME AT ALL

  • A once-in-a-lifetime portal, twice. The 8-8 Lion’s Gate is one of the most potent astrological activations of the year, and this retreat is built to land you at Machu Picchu at its exact peak.
  • Two master guides, one unified field. Sianna’s Rasa Yoga and Masood’s sonic alchemy aren’t two separate offerings bolted together, they’re a single, immersive current of practice, music, and ceremony that builds day over day.
  • Real ceremony, not tourism. Despacho ceremony, coca leaf readings, and traditional Incan rites are led by local curanderos and pacos, not staged for visitors, but the same practices that have anchored this land for centuries.
  • The mountain. A two-day trip to Machu Picchu with one day on the mountain
  • Community that lasts. You’ll journey with a small group of kindred souls doing this same deep work alongside you — many past participants call their retreat-mates lifelong friends.
  • Give, not just receive. The Karma Yoga Service Project roots your transformation in reciprocity with the people and land of the Sacred Valley.

WHERE YOU’LL STAY

Sacred Valley— “love from the ancient forest” — is tucked into an oasis of native plants and fruit trees, fed by a waterfall in the heart of the Sacred Valley of Peru. You’re in the Andes here, home to the twelve sacred Apus, the “luminous beings” of the mountains. Guests commune directly with these peaks, and with the local curanderos and pacos who join us for ritual and ceremony throughout the retreat.

Meals are made with love from locally-grown ingredients. Every guest room reflects the living culture of the Sacred Valley. People who come here often say the same thing: the whole place seems to hold you.

INCLUDED EXCURSIONS

Machu Picchu

Your journey culminates in a 2-night, 2-day Machu Picchu excursion (1 night Aguas Calientes, 1 night Cusco) — including 4 meals, all transportation (private vehicle, bus, and train), a tour guide, and entrance fee.

You’ll drive through the Sacred Valley, through the storied town of Ollantaytambo with its living Inca architecture, then ride the train along the river to Aguas Calientes. The next morning, before sunrise, you’ll arrive at Machu Picchu to witness the sacred City of Light illuminate — a full day exploring the ruins, sitting with the mountain, and feeling the energy of one of the most sacred sites on the planet. A final night in Cusco closes the journey before your shuttle to the airport.

Moray

Visit the energetic seed terraces of Moray — feel the transformation of seeds, and mirror that transformation within yourself.

Despacho Ceremony

Andean ceremony masters guide this ancestral ritual of offering — a practice of ayni, reciprocity between the material and spiritual worlds — returning to Pachamama, Mother Earth, what she has given us.

Please be sure to review Our Policies.
For technical questions or alternative payment options, please contact us.

Getting There

You’ll book flights into Cusco Airport (CUZ), most commonly connecting through Lima. Please wait for official confirmation that the retreat has met its minimum enrollment before booking. A group airport shuttle runs each way within provided flight windows — the drive to the retreat center is approximately 1.5 hours.

Travel Insurance

We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. 

We have partnered with Trawick International (available for U.S. Residents only). Read more about their policies here. We encourage you to research the insurance company and policy that best meets your needs.
