The Deepening — Optional Add-On

Early arrival week begins Monday, March 23

Available for up to 10 guests who are attending the March 27–29 Weekend Circle.

The Deepening is an optional early-arrival week for guests who want more time to prepare physically, emotionally and energetically before ceremony. It mirrors the traditional process used in the Shipibo lineage, where those seeking healing spend several days in purgative, cleansing and grounding practices before entering the medicine space. The week includes traditional Shipibo purification treatments such as vomitivos, purgatives and vapor baths, just as would be done in the jungle.

In addition to the traditional work, the week also includes western-based integration and inner-work support such as shadow work, Internal Family Systems-style exploration and daily sound baths. The Deepening is designed for those who feel called to arrive slowly, clear the body, quiet the mind and begin the inner work before the first cup is ever poured.

This five-day pre-retreat immersion includes:

• Traditional Shipibo cleansing practices (purgatives, vomitivos, vapor baths, etc)

• Seasonal and esoteric workshops

• Guided inner work and group support

• All meals provided throughout the week

• Upgraded accommodations
