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.
