Between Worlds: A New Year San Pedro Threshold for Expats

January 31

Casa Aguacolla Healing House is opening a New Year ceremonial container on January 31, created specifically for expats and globally-rooted people living between cultures, systems, and life phases.

This is not a retreat, and it is not a spectacle.

Life abroad often brings expansion and freedom alongside fragmentation, nervous system strain, and long-term uncertainty. Many expats carry these pressures quietly while continuing to function across languages and responsibilities.

This ceremony approaches San Pedro as a medicine of orientation and coherence, not escape. The work is held with reverence for Andean plant traditions and grounded in preparation, consent-based facilitation, and post-ceremony integration.

This is a quietly held space that prioritizes individual inner work, with accompaniment rather than instruction. Group sharing is not a central focus; participants are supported in their own internal process.

Casa Aguacolla Healing House is designed for people who must return to real-world complexity after ceremony—work, relationships, health considerations, immigration status, and community life. Preparation and integration are considered essential parts of the work, not add-ons.

The ceremony is held in a lived-in home space—simple, quiet, and intentionally non-adorned—designed to support presence rather than performance.

This space is facilitated by Colleen, in collaboration with Taita Iván, with a shared commitment to ethical practice, clear boundaries, and grounded support before and after ceremony.

This offering is not suitable for those seeking quick transformation, spiritual performance, or unstructured experimentation.

Participation begins with orientation and conversation.
Location: Approximately 90 minutes outside Cuenca (details shared privately).
