New Year's
Illumination
You have built a life that works. This year, see what it is meant to become.
Playa Grande, Costa Rica
A circle of eight leaders, founders and professionals, at the height of a career or beyond it.
Has logic taken you as far as it can?
Maybe this sounds familiar…
- Success that looks right and feels flat.
- Clear goals for everyone else. An unclear why for yourself.
- Logic got you here. It cannot show you what is next.
By most measures, this year worked.
You meet the turn of the year in ceremony and cross into 2027 awake to what actually matters, with a direction you can feel in your body and act on in January.
This Huachuma program was truly a life-changing experience for me. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of safety and care. I left with clarity, gratitude, and profound shifts.

San Pedro (Huachuma),
the Illuminator.
A master teacher of truth.
A sacred Andean cactus medicine, held in nature. The medicine quiets the busy mind, illuminates what is out of alignment with truth, love and integrity, and returns you to the core of who you are. Then the medicine calls you to act on what you see.
“It shows you what is truly important in life. I realized I had been living in mild fear, anxiety, confusion, and distraction. I leave with a renewed understanding of what makes us whole. These people are special. They are the real deal.”
Three ceremonies.
One threshold.
Every day has a purpose. This is not a passive experience you observe. It is a process you move through.
You leave with a felt sense of direction for 2027.
The Opening
You establish relationship with the medicine. The circle forms. Your intention is stated and witnessed.
Ceremony two
The Threshold
New Year’s Eve is held in ceremony, with vision as the intention. You cross into 2027 conscious and clear.
The Anchor
What opened is integrated and sealed. Your vision becomes a direction you can feel, not notes you took.
Integration between ceremonies
Integration and self-empowerment
Sessions that help you integrate what the medicine opens and build a self-empowerment toolkit you carry into life after the immersion.
Breathwork
Two guided sessions to move what is ready to move, and make room for what comes next.
Art, beach and
one-to-one time
Art therapy, time by the ocean, and space with your guardians to talk through what is surfacing.
The work between ceremonies
is where what you saw becomes how you live.
You will not leave with a list of goals.You leave knowing where you are going.
Vision, not resolution
The medicine illuminates the direction rooted in what matters to you, not the goals you borrowed from others.
Truth beneath the noise
In the silence of ceremony, the medicine moves you from the mind into the heart, where you hear what you already know.
Patterns seen, choices owned
The medicine illuminates the patterns that have run their course, and asks you to own your choices, words and actions.
A felt sense of forward
2027 stops being a date on a calendar and becomes a year you are building on purpose.
You will not walk any of it alone.
Eight guests at most. Each guest has a primary guardian. Before you arrive: an intake consultation, health and safety screening, and two individual sessions to sharpen your intention.
While you are here: daily integration and one-to-one time.
Once you are home: three personal integration sessions that turn your vision into a concrete 2027 action plan.
Nikki grew up just outside Toronto, Canada and currently lives nestled amongst the Andes in the Sacred Valley of Peru. A teacher dedicated to working with people with special needs and at-risk youth, she has devoted her life to being a support to others. Coming from a background of addiction and depression, she was called to Peru in 2018 to start working with her teachers Bernhard Karshagen and Chase Moore for a deep dive into her healing.
Wanting others to experience the grace of the medicine as she has, she offers a safe space of presence and love, weaving in various mind, body, and energetic practices. She is trained in somatic trauma-informed plant medicine work through Atira Tan. Nikki is a balance of grit and softness, embodying permission for each guest to explore their unique experience with the medicine. With deep reverence for the magic that unfolds in ceremony, she meets each individual where they are. She loves to play with life and brings cracking humor and lightness to the challenges of the work.

Mentored by Atira Tan. Apprenticing in the Shipibo-Konibo ayahuasca tradition. Kimberly holds the container with precision, warmth, and a refusal to accept anything less than real change for the people in her care.
Our fearless Huachumara, Nikki, is an amazing guide and spirit to work with both in and out of ceremony. The work that Nikki did with our group was healing and truly special. I am honored to have gone through ceremonies with her.
