PLANT INFORMED TRANSPERSONAL WORK

EXPAND AND DEEPEN YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF TRANSPERSONAL PROCESSES AND START A NEW CHAPTER IN YOUR LIFE

Explore the meeting point between art, spirit, and the deep structures of human transformation: if you identify as someone ready to transcend personal biography and everyday identity, to explore the hidden layers of consciousness that shape your inner life and beyond, then this transpersonal space invites you into fieldwork with plant intelligence, transpersonal states, and the forgotten language of remembrance.


THE FACILITATOR

The facilitator holds the retreat as a chamber of remembrance. More than leader, the facilitator is a companion of Harmal's soothsayer spirit — holding the arc of three nights as one movement, so that what opens can converge into clarity. In this work, speech is medicine. The «Hablador current» — a lineage of using word as transformation — flows through the retreat. Sometimes this means a single sentence spoken with weight. Sometimes it means silence held long enough for truth to take shape. Utterance here is precise, careful, and transformative. What unfolds may be insight, memory, or clarity. It is a practice of discernment to see what is true, to cut through illusion, and to bring forward a life you can stand behind.
The facilitator’s role is not to lead in the sense of authority or impose belief, nor to act as healer. The role is to hold the frame of the retreat and to safeguard the continuity of the work The facilitator is here the guardian of the frame, witness to the truth, and occasional voice of the Hablador. The facilitator ensures the night remains clean of noise, confirms what arises without intrusion, and offers utterance when needed or pointing participants back to their own capacity to speak what is true.

The Velada is not only an act of healing but an «artistic event». The Hablador is not a counselor but a «poet-seer», and the Harmal is not a medicine but a «catalyst of language». Their confluence creates art in its oldest sense: speech that binds a community together in recognition of truth.
Retiro Velada
21/11/2025 4:00 pm - 23/11/2025 2:00 pm

The Retiro Velada is a three-night transpersonal retreat. It is night work: a contemporary practice of remembrance and recognition, rooted in simplicity, silence, and the guidance of the plant spirit Harmal. The retreat creates a rare frame where what is hidden can step forward, and where the line of your own life — your blueprint beneath roles and identities — can be remembered.

ARCHETYPAL REMAPPING — What It Is, What It Does, and Why It Works

This adaptation of the velada tradition for RETIRO VELADA honors its Mazatec origins, while distinctly reconfiguring its elements to suit a contemporary, transpersonal retreat centered around legal plant medicines, nature cosmology, and a dynamic, dialogic approach. Adapted Core Characteristics Role of the Hablador: The hablador is not simply a storyteller but an inspired mediator whose creative language, dialogic presence, and capacity for eloquent speech shape the ritual field and open channels for collective and personal illumination. Taking on this role within the retreat, the practitioner orchestrates spoken guidance, calls forth wisdom, and leads participants through liminal space with intentional speech, poetic narration, and dialogic invitation—“curing with language” and facilitating the co-creation of meaning rather than the transmission of fixed dogma. Legal Plant Medicines: Rather than ritual psychedelics rooted in local religious syncretism, RETIRO VELADA employs...
