August 16 - 24, 2025
Sacred Seed Retreats offers a transformative journey in the heart of Ecuador’s majestic Southern valleys, blending ancestral wisdom with profound personal awakening.
Our retreats leverage the healing powers of healthy organic diets confined with plant medicine ceremonies such as Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Rape, Kambo, amongst other master plants, fostering deep connections with nature, self, and the universe.
We are committed to sustainability and cultural preservation, partnering with local and Indigenous communities to support Amazon & Andean conservation efforts.
Our retreats take place at the serene LASOFIA hacienda, located 15 minutes from famous valley of Vilcabamba, offering activities such as meditative walks, fruit picking, and farm to table dining amidst stunning landscapes.
We pride ourselves on being inclusive havens that celebrate diversity, inviting individuals from all walks of life to join us on a journey towards emotional and physical wellbeing.
Our retreats provide a meticulously crafted experience tailored for those seeking to deepen their understanding of ancestral medicines.
The retreat features dawn practices, nutrition focused meals, and a range of ceremonies and workshops designed for detoxification of the body & mind.
Starting with setting our intentions:
Why are we here?
Why are we choosing to undergo the medicine?
What are we looking to change, better, heal?
Grounding and profound introspection must be accompanied by close guidance and self reflection. Relaxation, creative expression, and cultural immersion are integral parts of the experience.
As well as a focus integration process to understand the visions coming to us through the medicine.
Package Types Programs offer options for both group and individual experiences, including a 9 Day diet, ancestral medicine, yoga and meditation retreats as well as custom programs.
Whether seeking an 1:1 journey or a group experience, Sacred Seed Retreats facilitates a holistic and enriching experience aimed at healing, community building, and reconnecting through ancient plant wisdom.
