Sacred Medicine Retreat · Palomino, Colombia
TRAVESÍA
Meeting the Soul
November 24 — 28, 2027
Does the life you're living really feel like yours?
There comes a moment when thinking more is no longer enough. The body asks to participate, control begins to weigh, and what you have built needs something more than results: it needs meaning.
Travesía is more than a retreat. It is a portal to cross through that version of you that is no longer aligned with your purpose, and reconnect with your true essence.
It will be five days of practices and rituals that intertwine with one another, oriented to prepare you to receive the ancestral medicine of the holy children. All held by modern psychology protocols and safety, to connect with our deepest roots in an intimate and contained space.
Request your spotMaybe you're not lost. Maybe you've just been listening to everyone but yourself for too long.
We spend years learning what we should want, what success means, which parts of us are acceptable, and how much control we need to feel safe.
Maybe you've already done therapy, meditated, read, understood your patterns. And still, some keep coming back.
Because there is a distance between understanding who you are and being able to live from that place.
Travesía is born in that distance: a space to lower the noise, step away from familiar references for a few days, and allow the body, emotion, breath, intuition, and awareness to participate too.
Not to become someone else. To find yourself beneath everything you learned you were supposed to be.
Five days, one transformation.
Day 1: Arrival
Welcome, opening circle and first contact with the land.
Day 2: Body and heart
Awaken the body and open the heart to receive.
Day 3: The ceremony
The central moment of the retreat, held and contained.
Day 4: Integrate
Give space to what was lived and celebrate in community.
Day 5: The return
Closing, gratitude and returning to the world with what was learned.
A space created to foster deep and meaningful encounters.
Every corner of this place is designed as a bridge toward self-knowledge and transformation, the ideal setting to live this Travesía.

Between the Sierra, the jungle, and the river.
Travesía takes place at ONE Santuario Natural, a refuge in Palomino, in the heart of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, and on the banks of the Palomino River.
A territory surrounded by nature, silence, and water, created to slow the rhythm, step away from everyday references, and enter deeply into the process. The sanctuary has open spaces facing the river, designed for yoga, meditation, workshops, rituals, and ceremonial experiences.
Here nature is not a backdrop. It is part of the Travesía. The river, the jungle, fire, earth, and silence remind us of something control easily forgets: everything alive changes, moves, and pulses.
This is not just any land. It is an ancestral territory with more than 180 years as a sanctuary, guarded by the living memory of the Kogui, Arhuaco, Wiwa, and Kankuamo peoples, who consider it part of the spiritual heart of the world. The sanctuary works hand in hand with these communities, integrating their cosmovision and wisdom into every experience lived here. Being in this place is to be held by something far older than us.
And all of this is also sustained from the body: a gourmet culinary experience tailored to the needs and dietary preferences of each participant, so that care and presence are also at the table.
Where rest is also part of the journey
Every space was chosen so your body can let go. Sleeping well, feeling at home and being surrounded by nature is not a luxury in the Travesía: it is part of the process. Here you rest so you can open up.

The retreat + the ceremony
There are patterns you can understand perfectly and still keep repeating.
Travesía is a five-day experience combining body, breath, connection, nature, a supported ancestral medicine ceremony and integration.
Research suggests that this ancestral medicine may temporarily alter habitual patterns of brain connectivity related to our sense of self, allowing for a more flexible experience of who we are. It does not erase patterns or guarantee transformation, but it may open a window to see familiar experiences differently.
Medicine can open a door to seeing life from a place beyond the mind that learned to survive it.
Integration turns that experience into a path.
That is why Travesía is not about simply ‘taking medicine.’
It is prepare · move through · integrate.
Breath, movement, nature, somatic practices and ancestral medicine are different doors into the same process.
How we move through it
Every practice has a purpose.
Regulate
Somatic yoga, breath, nature and presence to return to the body and create enough inner safety.
Open and move through
Circle, cacao, contemplative practices and a psilocybin ceremony to explore what usually lies behind noise, defense and control.
Move and integrate
Breathwork, movement, dance, intuitive writing and sharing to give space to what arose and begin translating it into meaning and concrete choices.
The process continues after the retreat
- 01One week later, a one-hour group session.
- 02Fifteen days later, each participant has a ninety-minute individual integrative therapy session to explore what still resonates and bring the experience into daily life.
An intense experience does not necessarily change a life. Integration begins to build the bridge.
Two paths, one shared vision.

Apply to Travesía
Ancestral medicine
A portal. Not a shortcut.
At Travesía, the ceremony does not stand alone. We arrive after an individual assessment, body preparation, building connection, setting an intention and creating a supportive space.
When our usual frames of reference soften, emotions, memories, questions or perspectives normally hidden beneath noise and control may arise.
We are not seeking spectacular answers. We are seeking to listen.
The ceremony can show you a path; it does not tell you who you are, because you are the medicine.
We arrive prepared. We move through it together. We integrate with therapeutic support.
Food on the Travesía
Living food, made with love in the heart of the jungle
During the Travesía we eat at the restaurant of One Santuario Natural, a private reserve in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a few minutes from Palomino. Here food is part of the path: it nourishes the body, supports the process and connects us with the land that welcomes us.
From garden to table
Much of the produce comes straight from One's garden. Fresh fruit, greens and vegetables, harvested close to where they are cooked, with the real flavor of what grows in the Sierra.
An open, local kitchen
A team of cooks from the region prepares a different menu every day, with creativity and great care. The kitchen is open, so you can watch the dishes being made and feel the intention behind them.
A menu that supports the ceremony
In the days before the ceremony we eat vegetarian. It is a simple way to prepare the body, lighten digestion and arrive more present to the work with the medicine. After the ceremony the menu opens up to include fish and selected meats. If you prefer to stay vegetarian until the end, that is possible too.
For every need
The kitchen adapts to vegetarian, vegan and celiac guests. If you have any allergy or dietary restriction, let us know when you apply and we will arrange it before you arrive.
What's included
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the retreat (except the day of the ceremony, which will be a brunch and then a dinner, since a fast of at least 4 hours is required before taking the medicine)
- Water, herbal teas and natural drinks
- Vegetarian menu until the ceremony and a vegetarian option throughout
- Adaptations for vegan, gluten free diets and allergies
