Vine of the Soul
An ancestral plant medicine ceremony with the sacred vine of the Amazon, held through the night, prepared for carefully and integrated with you after.
The vine and the leaf.
Vine of the Soul is a sacred brew from the Amazon basin: a woody vine and a leaf, prepared together slowly and held in ceremony by Indigenous peoples for generations. It is a teacher plant. People come to it for grief, for trauma, for a life that has lost its thread, and often meet something larger than what they came with.
Ceremony begins after dark and moves through the night: several hours of deep inner journeying, often with purging, which the tradition understands as release. Live, channeled sound carries the room. In the morning there is rest, a simple meal, and space to speak about what came.
Who this is for
For those who feel called to the vine and want to meet it with care, privately or in a small circle of people they know.
- A first ceremony, approached slowly and with full preparation
- Grief, depression, or a long season that needs a turning point
- Old patterns and relationships that keep returning
- Returning to the medicine after time away
- Couples, families, or friends who want to sit together
- A deeper relationship with spirit, prayer, and ritual
How we work
We work with this medicine, and we are part of a wider circle of elders and traditional facilitators: a team of facilitators, depending on which medicine is being served. We always work with each guest to find the best fit, meaning the right people, the right setting and the right time.
Conversation & intake
A free call to hear what's calling you and what you're carrying. Then a full health and medication intake, reviewed by a medical doctor, and simple preparation (diet, intention, the practical questions), so you arrive ready rather than braced.
Ceremony
A night ceremony held by an experienced, trauma-informed team who stay present with you until morning, with live sacred sound and a quiet, prepared room.
Integration
A closing conversation, follow-up sessions with Alexa or Luke, and our 6 Pathways integration guide, so what opened takes root in ordinary life.
Guest Stories
Held with care
Sacred sound
Live, channeled song and music through the night, never a playlist.
The altar
Prepared fresh for every ceremony, at La Fuente or in a setting we arrange together.
Safety first
Medical screening, a clear agreement before we begin, and a team with many years on the medicine path.
Sacred Counsel does not administer, supply, or handle any controlled substances. Ceremonial experiences are provided by independent, third-party facilitators operating under applicable local laws; we hold the preparation, the container, and the integration.
Begin with a conversation
Every ceremony starts with a free call. Tell us what's calling you, and we'll find the right way to meet it together.
Ceremonies are held at La Fuente in Valle de Bravo, or in a setting we arrange together. Or stay a few days: private retreats at La Fuente.
