A Sacred Journey through Peru
10 days
+ optional 3 day of plant medicine ceremony
For more than 20 years, yoga has been an important part of my life, and I created this journey as a way to combine yoga, meditation, culture, nature and the sacred landscapes of Peru.
Together, we will explore the Sacred Valley, ancient sites, breathtaking landscapes and places connected with the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of Peru.
This journey is designed not simply as a vacation, but as an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself and experience Peru in a meaningful and conscious way.
Throughout the journey, I will personally accompany the group, guide the yoga and meditation practices, and take care of the organization and logistics.
My husband, Erik O’Ssell, is a professional tour guide and may join us for selected parts of the journey, sharing his knowledge and experience when he is available.
This is a journey of yoga, culture, nature and inner exploration — created to leave you renewed, inspired and connected to the experience of Peru.

Instead of changing locations every few days, we will have more time to slow down, rest, practice yoga and truly immerse ourselves in the experience.
This slower rhythm will make the journey more comfortable and allow us to go deeper into our practices, while still leaving space for excursions and exploration.
Photos and more details about the retreat center will be added soon.
During our Sacred Journey, there may be an opportunity to take part in additional practices and traditional ceremonies that are part of the rich cultural and spiritual landscape of Peru.
These experiences are optional and may be offered depending on the location, local availability and the group’s interests. Additional ceremonies and practices are not included in the tour price and are paid separately.
🍫 Cacao Ceremony
A gentle heart-centered ritual with cacao, combining the traditional use of cacao with meditation, music, intention and connection.

A traditional sweat-lodge ceremony involving heat, steam, herbs and guided ritual. It is traditionally experienced as a practice of purification and renewal.
🌿 Traditional Andean Bath
A traditional herbal bathing ritual using local plants and herbs, connected with Andean traditions of cleansing, relaxation and energetic renewal.
💃 Ecstatic Dance
A free-form movement practice accompanied by music, allowing participants to explore movement, expression and connection without choreography.
🎶 Kirtan
A practice of devotional singing and mantra chanting. We will have the opportunity to experience the power of collective voice, rhythm and meditation through music.
🌱 Coca Leaf Ceremony
