Ayahuasca Retreat in Joshua Tree, California for Imbolc

February 13–15, 2026 | Joshua Tree, California | 3 Ceremonies (2 night, 1 day)

Imbolc marks the first quickening of the earth beneath winter’s surface. It is the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, a threshold between stillness and stirring, rest and return. This retreat is for those who feel the subtle shift and want to meet it with intention, clarity and renewal.

We will gather for three days of ceremony, community and seasonal alignment as the first light of the year begins to rise within and around us.

Guests are welcome to remain on site until Monday morning (the 16th) for a gentler landing and additional rest before traveling home.

Whats Included:

• Two night ceremonies and one daytime ceremony

• Professional integration support

• Workshops for seasonal alignment and integration preparation

• Nourishing meals cooked fresh on site

• Optional stay-through Monday morning at no extra cost

• Ongoing community support

• Gift Bag
