What to Expect at a Plant Medicine Retreat

If you’re considering joining a retreat with Peace Life — whether in Utah, Peru, or Mexico — one of the biggest questions on your mind is probably: “What should I expect?”

The answer: a safe, structured, and deeply supportive journey designed for your growth, healing, and transformation.

🌙 Ceremony Experience At the core of each retreat are sacred plant medicine ceremonies, guided by experienced facilitators, healers, and in Peru, indigenous maestros. These ceremonies often last several hours, held at night or in nature, and invite you into a state of deep self-reflection and healing. Expect a sacred, intentional container where every detail — from music to prayer to environment — supports your process.

🌞 Daily Rhythm Your retreat is more than ceremony. Mornings often include yoga, meditation, or breathwork. Afternoons may hold group integration circles, personal reflection time, or healing practices like sound baths, reiki, or traditional sweat lodges (temazcal in Mexico, saunas in Utah, plant baths in Peru). This rhythm balances intensity with grounding, giving you space to process and rest.

💚 Integration Support Unlike many retreat centers, Peace Life is rooted in integration. We don’t just leave you with your experience — we provide tools, practices, and community support so you can carry your breakthroughs back into daily life. Expect journaling prompts, group sharing, and access to digital integration tools long after your retreat.

🍲 Nourishment Food is medicine, too. Retreats typically include fresh, wholesome meals that support the process — simple but nourishing, often plant-based, and free from alcohol, caffeine, or heavy processed foods.

👥 Community Connection One of the most profound aspects of retreat is the community. You’ll meet people from around the world, all gathered with the same intention: to heal, grow, and reconnect. The bonds made here often last a lifetime.

✨ The Takeaway You can expect challenge. You can expect healing. And most importantly, you can expect to be supported every step of the way — before, during, and after your retreat.
