IMMERSION

THE NOT-AHYAHUASCA JOURNEY THAT STILL TAKES YOU TO GOD

October 24 – 31, 2026

YOU'VE DONE THE INNER WORK…

SO, WHAT'S NEXT?

YOU'VE DONE THE INNER WORK…

SO, WHAT'S NEXT?

The morning practice doesn’t hit like it used to. The meditations, the journaling, the guided journeys; you feel like you’re ready for a spiritual upgrade.

When your friend invites you to another “awakening” or “activation”, you say no because you can feel a deep desire in you that won’t be met there.

There are six instagram ads for retreats on your feed and four you have saved, but they all feel more like an introduction and less like an expansion.

And then you found us.

You’re curious about sacred sexuality. Your turn-ons. Your fantasies. The parts of yourself you’ve kept contained. The desires you’re ready to explore. The wildness you’re ready to reclaim.

Immerse yourself with women like you who are ready to go deeper through sexuality, eroticism, pleasure, desire, and embodiment.

You’re going to use your turn-on, your inner fire, and your most intimate spaces to crack your heart (and legs) wide open while your sisters do the same. That’s hot.

And at the end? Your hips will be a magic lamp granting wishes when rubbed right.

Don’t just think through your healing journey.

Sexuality

as sacred practice

In this space, we explore through self-touch, sensual movement, giving and receiving non-sexual touch, body mapping, and guided practices that help us discover our turn-ons, desires, yeses, and nos, what feels good, what doesn’t, and what we genuinely want.

As women, we are often conditioned to respond to what others want before ever asking ourselves: What do I want? What feels good to me? What am I available for—and what am I not? Here, we turn our attention inward and begin listening.

We deepen this relationship with the body through dance, meditation, ecstatic breathwork, massage, and embodied rituals. We sing. We use our voices to express emotions, longings, desires, and dreams that may have been waiting to be heard.

Plant medicine can help unlock inner doors. To soften our defenses, expand our perception, and bring what lives beneath the surface into awareness. There can be profound potency in what the unconscious holds. With intention and care, medicine can create space for catharsis, insight, healing, freedom, clarity, and deeper connection.

This retreat is for you if...

  • You've done the inner work and you're ready to explore new edges.

  • You're curious about tantra and what happens when sexuality, spirituality, and inner work are no longer kept separate.

  • You're curious about your erotic self, your desires, turn-ons, fantasies, and the parts of you you haven't fully explored.

  • You want to discover what you desire when you're not performing, pleasing, or following someone else's script.

  • You have experience with plant medicine and are curious to explore its power within community and sisterhood.

  • You crave genuine sisterhood with women who are willing to be vulnerable, playful, curious, and fully alive.

We come from
surrender.

Brooke Laura

Brooke has spent over twenty years exploring the body, the nervous system, and the nature of human connection. She is a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist and sacred sexuality facilitator who lives and works on the shores of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala. She brings expertise in somatic healing and the creation of deeply attuned spaces where women are gently invited to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the parts of themselves longing to be seen.

Rachel Singer

Raised in an ultra-religious environment, Rachel has spent the last ten years cultivating a spiritual and embodied path of her own through Kabbalah, mysticism, psychedelics, plant medicine, tantra, and sacred sexuality. She is a Physician Assistant and psychedelic medicine provider, though some of her deepest education has come through living—through her own experiences of trauma and healing, ceremony and altered states, love and loss, relationships and community. Her exploration of tantra and sacred sexuality has invited her into a deeper relationship with her body, gently unraveling layers of shame shaped by religion and culture and opening into freedom, pleasure, curiosity, and aliveness. She knows how to sit in the dark, and she really loves the light. Rachel brings both to her work: depth and play, tenderness and laughter, sensuality, deep conversation, adventure, and a love for the delicious mess of being human. She believes some of our most profound moments can happen right beside our most joyful ones.

HOW THIS

Retreat

WAS BORN

This retreat began with eight women who wanted more.

Rachel, Brooke, and six other women met inside a year-long Pleasure Priestess container. We realized we didn’t want to keep doing this work from behind our screens. We wanted to live it.

So we spent a year co-creating the experience we were longing for—a sacred space to step out of our ordinary lives.

We went deep. We were witnessed, held, loved, challenged, and cared for by women walking a similar path of awakening. We explored our bodies, sexuality, desires, power, freedom, and capacity for pleasure.

The retreat didn’t end in Guatemala. The seeds we planted began taking physical form in our lives. We felt more embodied, sexually alive, powerful, and free. Businesses grew. Desires became clearer. New possibilities took shape.

And we stayed connected, continuing to witness, inspire, challenge, and lift each other up.

There is something extraordinary about doing this work together, surrounded by women who see you, believe in you, and give you permission to take up more space and live more fully.

We created this retreat for ourselves first. Now we are opening the door for you.

“Everything is foreplay if you

allow it to be.”

FAQ

Do I have to participate in partner rituals, touch, or intimate practices?

No. You are always at choice. Every practice is an invitation, never an obligation. Touch is never assumed, and you can participate fully, modify a practice, or choose not to participate at any time.

There may be opportunities to explore sensuality, nudity, consensual touch, and intimate embodied practices, but this retreat is not about sexual activity between participants. Everything is held within a strong culture of consent, boundaries, and personal agency.

Your no is just as welcome as your yes.

Do I need experience with Tantra, sacred sexuality, or psychedelics?

You don’t need to be an expert, but this retreat is designed for women who have already begun exploring embodiment, sexuality, spirituality, psychedelics, or other forms of inner work and are ready to go deeper.

You don’t need to know everything. Come with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to explore.

What is a Wachuma Ceremony?

There is a day in this retreat when we leave the ordinary world behind.

We cross the lake by boat to Casa Kula, a secluded sanctuary where we spend the day in relationship with Wachuma, also known as San Pedro—the cactus plant.

Guided by Ananda’s deep relationship with this medicine and Peruvian elders, we enter a day of ritual, nature, movement, and communion—stepping beyond the thinking mind and deeper into the body, ourselves, and something greater.

There will be hiking, time in nature, ritual, stillness, and connection. As the day closes, we return to the elements through ritual temazcal and plant bathing, allowing the experience to settle into the body.

Water. Earth. Fire. Plant. Body. Spirit.

Do I have to participate in the plant medicine ceremonies?

No. Plant medicine is completely optional. You can choose whether or not to participate in each ceremony, including making that decision on the day based on what feels right for you.

If you have questions or concerns, you’re welcome to speak privately with Rachel or Brooke before making your decision.

Does this retreat conflict with my religious or spiritual beliefs?

This work is not about replacing or prescribing a particular spiritual or religious path. Sacred sexuality can be explored alongside many spiritual traditions as a way of experiencing the sacred through the body, pleasure, intimacy, and connection.

You are always invited to remain rooted in your own beliefs and engage only with what feels aligned for you.

What if the cost is holding me back from signing up?

If you feel a strong yes to the retreat but the investment is creating hesitation, reach out to us before ruling yourself out. We’re happy to have a personal conversation about what may be possible.

There is no pressure to join. We want you here because the retreat feels like a genuine yes—both energetically and practically.

What if I observe Shabbat?

We want observant women to be able to join us without compromising their practice. Because the retreat runs Saturday to Saturday, accommodations are available near the retreat center for Friday night before the retreat and Saturday night after it ends, allowing you to arrive before Shabbat and travel home after Shabbat.

What happens after I submit my application?

Once you submit your application, you’ll receive a link to schedule a 20-minute 1:1 intake call with Rachel or Brooke. This is a chance for us to connect, answer your questions, and make sure the retreat is a good fit for you.

Once your application is approved, a $1,200 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your space.

What is the cancellation policy?

A $1,200 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your space.

Before August 24, 2026:

All payments are non-refundable. You may transfer your registration to another participant, subject to approval by the retreat organizers. Finding and coordinating the replacement participant is the responsibility of the original registrant.

On or after August 24, 2026:

No refunds can be issued because Villa Sumaya requires us to guarantee our room commitment. You may still transfer your registration to another participant approved by the retreat organizers, with the replacement participant arranged by the original registrant.
