Personalized Therapeutic Immersion: 7-Day Private Retreat with Ayahuasca, Psilocybin & San Pedro, Guided by Dr. Scott Irwin

Are you a seeker of profound personal transformation, someone who desires to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing in a private and focused setting? Look no further than our Private Psychotherapeutic Retreats, carefully curated for individuals like you who prefer intensive, one-on-one integration work with the esteemed expert Integration Psychologist, Scott Irwin, Ph.D.

With Dr. Scott’s skillful guidance, you will explore the depths of your being, finding opportunities within your suffering, and uncovering core wounds and deep-seated barriers that have hindered you from fully embracing your power to manifest positive changes in your life.

Throughout your retreat, Dr. Scott will be your personal compass, leading you on a path of self-awareness, self-discovery, self-love, and self-refinement. The journey is tailored to your unique needs and aspirations, allowing you to delve into the depths of your psyche and emerge with newfound clarity and purpose.

What sets our retreat apart is the flexibility it offers. You have the freedom to choose the retreat dates and length of time that best align with your schedule – from 1 to 14 days, it’s entirely up to you. There’s no need to wait for a specific event; you can drop into a private retreat whenever it suits you, and prepare for significant shifts in your life.

At Sacha Wasi, we understand the significance of proper support during these transformative experiences. That’s why all our retreats are backed by a highly trained and knowledgeable medical staff, indigenous Kichwa Yachaks (medicine men & women), and, of course, our Integration Psychologist. Dr. Scott acts as a crucial cultural bridge, facilitating seamless communication and understanding between our indigenous hosts and our esteemed guests.

A core pillar of our approach is INTEGRATION – a process that takes place both before and after each ceremony. Transformational experiences can be challenging, but with the right preparation, you’ll feel confident, grounded, and ready to delve into the profound work that awaits you. Post-ceremony integration ensures that you find your footing again after the intensity of the experience and enables you to transform the insights and realizations gained into lasting life changes and personal transformations.

Consuming it can open up doors to visions and intense emotions, lasting up to 8 hours – all while connecting you with spiritual realms.
