About This Event: Huachuma Breathwork
The Flying Sage is thrilled to offer a renewed and transformative Huachuma breathwork experience. This bi-weekly journey, where conscious connected breathing meets the gentle guidance of Huachuma (San Pedro), is now moving to a new, expansive home at the Stretch Space, allowing for even deeper connection and exploration. We’re also excited to introduce our new facilitator, Alejandro Giraldo, who will be leading this powerful session. Join us in this beautiful new chapter, where the magic of breath can bring you closer to your true self.
What is Huachuma (San Pedro)?
Huachuma, also known as San Pedro, is a psychoactive cactus native to the Andes Mountains in South America. It has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples in the region for its psychoactive and shamanic properties. Huachuma contains mescaline, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound, and is traditionally consumed in ceremonial rituals to facilitate spiritual insights, emotional healing, and personal growth. It is revered for its ability to induce altered states of consciousness, leading to vivid visual experiences and profound introspection, making it a powerful tool for self-discovery, healing, and connecting with the spiritual world.
Where Is It Sourced?
We are grateful to Dose Osmosis for sponsoring these events. Their Osmosis San Pedro (Trichocereus pachanoi) powder is sourced from a group of families that work in community to grow and harvest this medicine. These families plant these medicines on a small and medium scale as they are far and few from their environment. For this reason, the products they offer are grown in gardens, in small plots. They are organically grown with care near their natural regions. This also reduces wild harvesting, supporting the natural reserves of this sacred plant, something of utmost importance to us.
For the above mentioned reasons Dose Osmosis consciously offers the medicine to ensure the continuity processes and to preserve the natural balance of the cactus.
