When we create space with intention, something deep and lasting can begin. The Medicine Walk is a full-day San Pedro gathering held in nature in the Paarl area, about an hour from Cape Town. The exact location is shared upon booking.

Together, we will

  • Commune with the sacred San Pedro medicine for our highest good and highest self
  • Gather around the fire for integration and reflection
  • Be guided by light, love and support

This gathering is open to everyone — whether you have experienced the medicine before or not. We share with love, respect and integrity.

Our path for the day

  • Silent hike — deep listening to nature

Facilitated by

  • Angie (@themysticalshaman0) — joyful wellness facilitator, motivational speaker and intuitive channeller

Preparing for San Pedro

A light and clean dieta is recommended to help the body stay grounded and receptive. For the 3–4 days leading up, avoid:

  • Alcohol and recreational drugs
  • Red meat
  • Spicy foods
  • Excess salt and sugar
  • Caffeine
  • Processed foods

Instead, focus on simple, nourishing meals: fresh fruit, vegetables, rice and oats, light soups and plenty of water. Eat your final meal at least 3–4 hours before the hike, keeping it small and easy to digest — fasting helps reduce nausea and allows the medicine to work more gently.

Energy exchange
