The Congregation for Sacred Practices offers an annual ten day pilgrimage for both Ministers and Ceremonial Members to travel to Oaxaca, Mexico, where we visit the cultural origins of the veladas ceremony, commune with the sacred mushroom, journey with other spiritual seekers, and connect with the Divine.

We begin this journey in the town of Oaxaca de Juarez, the cultural and governmental capital city of the state of Oaxaca. For three days, we settle into the city, tour ruins, markets and cultural historical sites. There is also much to enjoy with the delectable cuisine and irresistible shopping of the area’s surrounding markets.

On the weekend you will be transported to a tiny mountain village called San Jose del Pacifico where you will attend a two and a half day retreat with an indigenous Zapotec family. Diving deep into your inner self, you’ll connect with the land, the traditions, the ancestors and the ceremonial container of this indigenous people. Activities may include working with clay, a drum circle, a Temazcal ceremony, along with many others. The second day you will be transported to a beautiful goat farm to host the mushroom ceremony in their sacred tradition. We follow this monumental experience up with a daylong integration circle held in nature, with opportunities for quiet and reflective time.

For the final part of the trip, travelers will be transported to the glorious Pacific beaches where we will relax at the ocean and continue our integration.
