Retiro Velada
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.
The retreat is not limited to your personal story. It opens into the transpersonal field: the larger structures, ancestral echoes, and collective patterns in which your life unfolds. What may appear as private difficulty often reveals itself as part of a wider pattern. To see this is to gain orientation, to step beyond reaction into recognition.
Across three nights, the retreat follows a natural rhythm. Nights are for exposure: what is hidden comes into view. Mornings are for translation: what was revealed is shaped into steps that can hold in daylight. In this way, the work does not dissolve into vision or dream but becomes part of lived reality.
At the heart of this work is Harmal, an ancient plant known for its sober clarity. Harmal is not a tool for escape or spectacle. It is a soothsayer spirit: it steadies the mind, clears the noise, and reveals the underlying motifs of life. Where some plants intoxicate or overwhelm, Harmal refines. It teaches precision, presence, and the strength to see things as they are.
Every participant carries a blueprint — the coherent line of being that remains when borrowed roles fall away. The retreat offers conditions to meet it again. What is exposed in night is grounded by day, so the recognition does not remain a dream but translates into orientation. Three nights are enough to touch what endures and return with clarity that holds.
Three nights are enough. Enough to strip away noise. Enough to let the soothsayer spirit of Harmal speak. Enough to remember what was always yours. The Retiro Velada offers nothing to escape into, and everything to return with: a night that gives you back your day.
