RETREAT CALENDAR
Annual Team Reset
Our retreat calendar is seasonally closed through September as we pause programming during Baja California Sur’s hurricane season.
We look forward to reopening with our October 17–24, 2026 Iboga Retreat, with additional private medicine experiences available throughout the fall. If you’ve been considering joining us, we encourage you to begin the screening and application process early, as medical review and preparation often take several weeks.
From July 23 through August 20, our founders and lead facilitators will be away for their annual period of rest and renewal, completely offline without Wi-Fi or cellular service.
While they’re away, our extended care team will continue supporting the ETÉREO community. Whether you’re interested in learning more about one of our medicine offerings, scheduling a discovery call, beginning the screening process, or seeking integration support, you’ll find the appropriate team contacts below. Simply expand the section that best fits your needs to connect with the right person.
We look forward to welcoming you this fall!

This retreat is designed for those who feel genuinely called to work with iboga in a serious, intentional, and well-supported setting. It is best suited for individuals who are willing to engage fully in preparation, follow guidance, and commit to integration beyond the retreat itself.
All participants are required to complete a thorough intake and medical screening process. Not all applicants will be approved, and in some cases we may recommend postponing or exploring a different path if the timing or format does not feel aligned.
This is not a casual or recreational experience. It asks for presence, responsibility, and respect for the depth of the work.
HUACHUMA 5-Meo-DMT
DECEMBER 11 - 14
A four-day ceremonial retreat designed for those seeking deeper connection, clarity, and transformation through the complementary medicines of huachuma (San Pedro) and 5-MeO-DMT. Rooted in preparation, reverence, and integration, this intimate experience bridges ancestral wisdom with modern therapeutic practice.
Guided by Fletcher Burdick, who has been initiated into the Q’ero lineage of the Peruvian Andes, this retreat honors the traditions from which these medicines emerge while offering a safe, grounded, and thoughtfully held container for today’s seekers.
Through ceremonial work, integration practices, time in nature, and the support of our multidisciplinary team, guests are invited into a journey of presence, self-discovery, and lasting transformation. Designed for both newcomers and experienced participants alike, the retreat emphasizes safety, community, and carrying the work beyond the ceremony itself.

DATES UPON REQUEST
Intimate half-day 5-MeO-DMT ceremonies held on the ETÉREO land, designed as longer, more spacious offerings than our standard sessions. These containers allow for unrushed preparation, focused medicine work, and extended time for grounding, reflection, and release.
Each ceremony includes intentional preparation, the 5-MeO-DMT session itself, and a closing fire ceremony to support integration and embodiment. The pacing of the day is designed to gently support nervous system regulation and conscious re-entry, offering participants space to land, reflect, and be held in community before transitioning back into daily life.
