We will gather at a spacious ranch estate in Cobble Creek, nestled against Utah’s majestic mountain valley. With 8 bedrooms, multiple kitchens, wraparound decks, and communal gathering areas, this 5-acre sanctuary offers both opportunities for meaningful connection and space for quiet solitude. Spend time in nature, soak in the hot tub, or wander the forested surroundings as you integrate your journeys.

This property is also 15 minutes away from a natural hot spring that participants can visit on integration days.

A range of accommodation options are available—private, semi-private, and shared rooms at different price points to suit your needs. Ceremony will take place in a large indoor space within the home, and we will be welcoming up to 15 participants.

We’ve held many ceremonies in this area and have consistently felt the strong presence of ancestral support, which allows us to go quite deep.

It’s a blessing to return here with our Utah community, and we warmly welcome those who are new to our circle.

Athena, born in Greece and enriched by her diverse heritage as a South African-Venezuelan, is a profoundly skilled and authentic teacher of plant medicine. With over 18 years of experience in indigenous ceremonial practices from both North and South America, her formal apprenticeship was with the Shipibo Mahua lineage in the Peruvian Amazon. Known to her students as a renegade lightworker, Athena channels a cosmic grandmother energy in her ceremonies, offering an incredibly potent yet gentle transmission of the plant spirits. Her ceremonies are uniquely safe, unique in their authenticity, and infused with eternal love—an experience that remains rare in the realm of ayahuasca work.

Jason, an energy healer and shamanic herbalist, embodies the spirit of plants with his rooted and lifelong connection to the plant world. Since 2010, he's worked extensively with ayahuasca, cultivating and preparing it in Hawaii on his family’s property. Specializing in tailor-made shamanic medicines, he addresses emotional, physical, and spiritual needs, aiming to deepen individuals' connection to the Earth. Known for his incredible humor and nurturing presence in ceremony, Jason strengthens the container, by holding the masculine while allowing the feminine to lead. A gifted curandero, and devotee to plant wisdom.

How do I prepare?
Preparing for this lineage of medicine does entail approximately 2 weeks of monastic-style spiritual, psychological, and physical preparation. This includes a particular list of foods to eliminate from your diet, as well as certain consumptive patterns and exposures to avoid such as alcohol, drugs, porn, coffee, sugars, etc. Upon registering, you will receive a detailed guideline for your Ayahuasca preparation protocol. You can always reach out to our organizer with clarification questions.
What is the practitioner to participant ratio?
We will have 2 ceremony facilitators, a cook, and an apprentice. We have space for approximately 15 participants.
What is your refund policy?
Due to high costs of facilitating retreats, we cannot not offer refunds. In the event where you can no longer come, we will place your funds toward future retreats or online offerings by Athena, of which there are many.
