Wachuma (San Pedro) Retreat in Costa Rica

Wachuma doesn’t take you away from life.
It brings you back to it.

At Ruhani Wellness Centre, wachuma (also known as San Pedro) is offered as a heart-opening, grounding plant medicine within the structure of The Arbol Method.

This is medicine for clarity, connection, and direction.

What Is Wachuma (San Pedro)?

Wachuma is a traditional Andean cactus used for centuries for:

- heart healing

- emotional balance

- connection to nature

- clarity of purpose

Unlike ayahuasca, wachuma is often gentler and more grounding, working with awareness rather than intensity.

Wachuma vs Ayahuasca: Which Is Right for You?

Wachuma often works with heart, meaning, and direction.

Some people work with one.
Some with both.
