Friday October 25 to Monday October 28 

Join us as we bridge the ancient wisdom of the Amazon Jungles with the modern world, creating a sacred space for transformative healing and growth. We are honored to present a beautifully curated long weekend retreat this October, where you get the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the power of Grandmother Medicine, in Ontario, Canada.

Overview

The Luminus Collective Retreat in Ontario, Canada, wants to bring people together and create a community where we can grow and become our best selves. We believe that by connecting to our inner light and joining with others, we can go through transformative retreats that are focused on special experiences in safe and sacred places.

Our retreats are special because we offer a comprehensive and educational experience. We provide thorough guidance and support before, during, and after the retreat to help you integrate what you’ve learned. Our main belief is that LIFE itself is a ceremony, and you are the one who can bring healing and growth. Plant medicines are tools, teachers, and friends that can help you take responsibility for your own well-being, with the assistance of education and support, of course.

  • I guide people from when they hear the call to work with plant medicines, during the actual encounters/ceremonies with plant medicines and after the journeys through integration of these experiences. I do this with the most utmost level of respect, sacredness, honour and integrity.
  • Our retreats are carefully and intentionally curated to ensure the sacredness of the plant medicines and the safety of the participants so that they can journey as deep as they need to go. We provide great detail and preparation guidelines paying great attention to each participant to meet them where they are at. Understanding where they’ve been, where they want to go and how they would like to be as a human being in the moment and in the future.
  • We have a carefully hand picked team of professionals that are of integrity and have experience on this path. Our team have all gone through training and have all dove deep with plant medicines for themselves and our own personal path of healing and expansion. Within our retreats we give our participants attention right from the screening process and afterwards to ensure that they are not alone on this journey.
  • We give time and space for them to just be, to reflect, process and sit with the journey. We give 1:1 sessions with our facilitators so that the participant can be heard and held if they are moving through heavy emotions, traumas and processes.
  • We incorporate holistic tools and practices throughout the retreat such as; meditation, journaling prompts, breathwork and sound healing. We are big on community and by attending our retreats, each participant is welcomed into our community of open/like-minded and hearted people on a similar path. This provides extra support, inclusivity, and real lasting friendships.

Staff and Founders

I have also trained with Medicine Men in Colombia and Costa Rica. I founded Luminus Collective and have been leading retreats for the past seven years.

I do this because it is in my blood, my heart, my purpose and my passion. I am aligned and dedicated to this path.

Our Processes

Substance sourcing

We source our plant medicines with the most respect for the land and tribe where the medicine is grown and harvested.  The medicines are grown with intention, reverence, and prayer.

The history of the medicines we use date back to 5,000 years ago.

The medicine has a process where the plants are carefully picked, washed and prepared for the sacred brew. The brew is carefully cooked and condensed. The brew is also prayed and sung to to invoke the spirit of the medicine.

Intake / Prescreening Process

  • Discovery Call
  • Medical Intake form
  • Note any concerns or questions
  • Follow up call
  • Overview of Dieta and preparation guidelines
  • Answer any question from us and from them

Preparation

  • We have a minimum of 2 calls with our participants where we go over the preparation Dieta and ceremony guidelines.
  • We share tools and practices for our participants to implement beforehand to prime them for the ceremony and to help them to detox at a mind, body and soul level.
  • We are in constant communication with the participant and are available to chat or jump on calls if they have questions or if they are having a challenging time with the Dieta.
  • We also form a WhatsApp group with all the participants and facilitators for the retreat, where we share tips, tools and music. This space is good for the participants to drop in and share a bit about themselves, so there’s already a point of contact for the whole group leading up to the retreat.

Ceremony

We curate our ceremonies by always reminding details and guidelines/rules for the ceremony to ensure their safety. We open the ceremony with an opening of the space/container. We invoke the seven directions and give respect and honour to the land we are on.

We sage and smudge each individual and the space so that we have a cleansed container. We light up the altars and guide a short meditation before we ingest the plant medicine. There is live music and Icaros, as well as drumming and other shamanic instruments that help to navigate the journey.

Our team is fully present for each individual and the space and are continuously cleansing/clearing energies.  Also, our clients will all have their own individual experiences as there is no talking or touching other clients.

If anyone needs to talk or needs support, one of our facilitators will be there to be with them. Each individual journey is different as plant medicine meets people in different ways.

Integration

At the retreat, we have a sharing circle after the ceremonies. We also have an integration workshop that we share with our participants. Following the retreat, we send a detailed email to each participant with tools and practices for them to continue through the integration.

We have a personal call with each participant after the retreat to ensure they are in a good place and that they have support.  We also have a group call with all the participants and facilitators to share how everyone is doing two weeks after the retreat.
