The Experience
This retreat offers an extraordinary blend of cultural immersion, personal growth, and meaningful connection, guided by Ann’s deep relationships in Peru. Begin your journey with a “Late Nite Art” experience designed to foster bonds with fellow travelers, followed by daily adventures including a traditional Andean Despacho ceremony, an intimate session on Andean cosmovision with Ubaldo Puma, and a visit to a Quechua-speaking teacher in the Andean community. Highlights include a sweat lodge ceremony, high-altitude hikes, a visit to the Pisac archaeological site, and a chance to witness the Peruvian weaving process in a remote high-altitude community. You’ll also enjoy unique experiences like an ancestral musical healing session with Vicente Rayo, group courage workshops with Scott, and daily yoga and mindfulness practices with Ann. With luxe accommodations, organic farm-to-table meals, optional plant medicine ceremonies, and ample solo time for reflection, this retreat is designed to deeply nourish, inspire, and transform.
Key Benefits:
This retreat also includes a special track to become a certified Scare Your Soul ambassador, equipping you with tools, support, and inspiration to create positive change in your life and the lives of others. Unplug from the noise of daily life to reconnect with your truth, courage, and potential, while unpacking stories or obstacles that may be holding you back. With the perfect balance of vibrancy, tranquility, and adventure, you’ll leave transformed—returning home with lifelong friends, an expanded sense of possibility, and the courage to light up others with your authenticity and passion.
