  • At ETÉREO, we honor the ancient wisdom and sacred traditions surrounding psilocybin, a powerful plant medicine revered for its profound healing properties. Our approach blends indigenous practices with modern therapeutic insights, creating a unique and deeply transformative experience.

    Our skilled practitioners, deeply rooted in the ceremonial use of psilocybin, guide participants through a journey of self-discovery and healing. Drawing from indigenous protocols, we craft a sacred space filled with rituals, prayers and offerings, connecting each individual to the spirit of the medicine and the wisdom of their ancestors.

    In alignment with modern clinical practices, we ensure that every participant receives personalized support throughout their journey. From setting clear intentions to providing compassionate care during the experience, and integrating the insights gained afterward, our protocols are designed to foster deep healing, emotional release, and a renewed sense of purpose.

    At ETÉREO, we believe in the power of psilocybin to dissolve barriers, heal traumas, and awaken a profound sense of interconnectedness. Our retreats are not just experiences; they are transformative journeys, carefully curated to guide you toward lasting healing and inner transformation.

  • We recognize the transformative power of 5-MeO-DMT, a potent entheogen derived from the Bufo Alvarius toad and certain plants. Known as "The God Molecule," 5-MeO-DMT facilitates an intense, fast-acting experience that can lead to profound states of consciousness, deep healing, and spiritual awakening.

    Our skilled practitioners at ETÉREO are deeply experienced in guiding participants through this powerful journey. With careful preparation, intention setting, and a sacred environment, we ensure that each individual's experience is safe, supported, and aligned with their personal healing journey.

    Recent research has highlighted 5-MeO-DMT's remarkable ability to help individuals release deeply rooted trauma, dissolve egoic barriers, and connect with a sense of unity and oneness. These experiences often lead to long-lasting shifts in perspective, increased emotional resilience, and a deeper connection to self and others.

    At ETÉREO, we blend ancient wisdom with cutting-edge research to create a holistic approach to 5-MeO-DMT, offering you a path to profound healing and spiritual transformation.

  • At ETÉREO, we honor the sacred power of Iboga, a revered plant medicine with deep roots in the Bwiti tradition of West Africa. For centuries, Iboga has been used in spiritual ceremonies to facilitate profound healing, spiritual awakening, and connection with the divine.

    Our experienced practitioners are deeply connected to the indigenous wisdom surrounding Iboga, guiding participants through transformative journeys that align with the plant's traditional uses. These ceremonies are sacred and intentional, designed to help you access deep layers of consciousness, confront past traumas, and unlock profound insights.

    New research has revealed Iboga’s unique potential in treating addiction, trauma, and other mental health challenges. Known for its ability to reset the brain's neural pathways, Iboga offers a powerful opportunity for lasting change and spiritual growth.

    At ETÉREO, we integrate this ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic practices to create a safe, supportive environment where you can explore the depths of your being and embark on a journey toward true healing and transformation.

What People Are Saying

“Where do I begin... let's start with the word grateful.... grateful for Paije and Fletcher (and their team) to have rattled and awoken the truth I knew I had inside. They did so by not letting finances be an issue. They knew I had been looking for this medicine. I had a deep calling for it and they sensed this and did not let money stand in the way of the truth. We agreed to a payment plan and then I became stoked! Stoked that my longing for this medicine was finally about to happen. The cherry on top was the ceremony took place on my birthday. I became a changed person on this day. I was rebirthed on my birthday. What a present!

I needed something to change. I was depressed, suicidal and self loathing. The medicine showed me my truth and showed me the path of least resistance to my highest self. The days to come would be filled with conversations I never thought I could have with an individual, joining manifesting workshops and executing projects I have put off for years. Not to mention the absolute adoration I felt for myself. I felt, and still feel, like a newborn baby with such a fresh perspective on life again. My husband and child see the change and couldn't be happier.

Thank you for giving me back my life! Thank you for my soul journey! Thank you for continuing to show the truth through integration. BASSÉ!”

“I had the great honor and privilege  of attending ETÈREO’s El Inicio retreat, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. Paije and Fletcher move through their work with such grace, and curated every single detail with so much love, care, and intention. They created a warm, intimate container for all, making it effortless to establish authentic and meaningful connections with the other guests and practitioners, while providing ample opportunities for personal reflection and processing. 

The retreat venue was absolutely stunning with lovely private casitas overlooking crystal views of desert and ocean. The beautiful meals prepared by Chef Paul Barbosa were, nourishing, grounding, creative and delicious. Supportive, yoga, breath work, and workshop offerings were also included, and synchronized so perfectly with the schedule of events.

I hold the whole retreat experience in my heart with the deepest gratitude and reverence, and am forever changed. I felt so seen, connected, and supported through each moment, and am so grateful to Paije, Fletcher, and co-facilitators and Ixchel for holding space for me in such a knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate manner. Paije and Fletcher’s devotion to healing and transformation is truly inspiring, and  I highly encourage anyone who feels called to work with psychedelic medicine to seek out their beautiful offerings.”
