About This Gathering
Rosa Divina Communion is a gathering rooted in reverence and shared presence. It is designed to open the heart, quiet the mind, and invite a deeper connection to God, to one another, and to the living interior of our own being. Within CODE, Rosa Divina is honored as a sacred sacrament and an ally of communion. It is approached with care, humility, and clear intention. While more accessible in format, it remains a powerful experience that calls for presence, respect, and willingness. The experience unfolds through music, sound, and communal contemplation, followed by guided meditation and a period of inward experience. The atmosphere is calm, intentional, and welcoming. This is not a retreat. It is a single gathering that serves as an accessible point of entry into The Path of Direct Experience, while also offering a meaningful place of return for those continuing along the path.

Sacred Mushroom
A multi-day ceremonial retreat centered in communion, reflection, and Direct Experience.
About This Gathering
The Sacred Mushroom Ceremony is a central expression of The Path of Direct Experience. It is a three-day, two-night immersive retreat designed to support deep spiritual inquiry, meaningful communion, and sustained personal insight. Within the Church of Direct Experience, the Sacred Mushroom is honored as a primary sacrament. It is approached with reverence, preparation, and clear intention. The purpose is not escape, but encounter — an opportunity to experience reality, self, and the divine with greater clarity and depth. Each gathering follows a deliberate and structured rhythm: preparation, ceremony, and integration. Members/participants are supported throughout by experienced ministers and stewards within an environment that is safe, secure, and supported. The experience unfolds through music, sound, and communal contemplation, along with guided meditation and structured periods of inward focus. This is not a casual experience. It is a focused and intentional engagement with The Path of Direct Experience.

Yagé
A sacred ceremonial gathering held on CODE Holy Days, devoted to communion and Direct Experience.
About This Gathering
For ten days, we will share daily life with Taita Luis, his family, and the broader Sachawasi community. Ceremony becomes one expression of a much larger experience that includes ancestral music, traditional teachings, sunrise river purification, plant saunas, mambe conversations with Taita Luis, jungle walks, individual consultations, shared meals, quiet reflection, laughter, and the countless unscripted moments that naturally arise when people live together in a place where these traditions continue to flourish.
Who Is This For?
The intention is not intensity for its own sake. Each element has been thoughtfully arranged to support preparation, purification, reflection, understanding, reverence, and Direct Experience. The sacraments are held within a larger rhythm of nature, community, learning, music, and integration so that each participant may approach the experience with respect, humility, and readiness.
What's Included
- Lodging at Sachawasi
- All meals throughout the Pilgrimage
- Ground transportation from Villa Garzón Airport
- Individual consultations with Taita Luis
- Traditional plant saunas
- All sacramental and ceremonial activities
- Preparation and integration programming
