Niños Santos

Niños Santos, scientifically known as Psilocybe mexicana, are sacred mushrooms used by several Indigenous cultures in ceremonial practices associated with healing and expanded awareness. Their active compound, psilocybin, has also been studied in neuroscience and clinical research for its potential effects on perception, emotional well-being, and deeply introspective experiences.

Benefits

With appropriate guidance and support, such as that offered by the medium “Angeóloga Masara,” the Niños Santos experience is intended to help participants:


  • Explore and release emotional blocks and past experiences.
  • Broaden awareness and perspective on life.
  • Reconnect with your sense of self and purpose.
  • Approach healing through compassion and deep introspection.

The Legacy of MarĂ­a Sabina


This ancestral practice became widely known in the Western world through María Sabina, a respected Mazatec healer from Oaxaca, Mexico. She worked with Niños Santos in sacred ceremonies centered on spiritual connection, insight, healing, and release. Her legacy is a reminder to approach the tradition with respect and to recognize its ceremonial roots.

Everything you need to know before your experience

The Niños Santos ceremony begins at 8:00 p.m. with meditation and the ceremonial intake, followed by approximately 3 to 4 hours of personal work. Afterwards, participants take part in an integration period to reflect on the experience and what they learned, with individual or group healing work when appropriate. A few hours of rest are then recommended, followed by a shared breakfast and a closing message at around 8:00 a.m.

• For at least 3 days before and after, avoid red meat and choose fish, chicken, vegetables, and fruit; drink plenty of water and stay well hydrated. • Avoid alcohol and smoking. • Do not use other substances. • On the day of the ceremony, a single light meal is preferred; if you become very hungry, choose fruit or vegetables and continue drinking plenty of fluids.

• Comfortable, warm clothing, preferably in light colors or white. • A sleeping mat or sleeping bag. • A blanket and pillow. • Plenty of fluids for hydration. • Optional: food to share, such as fruit, salads, nuts, seeds, bread, crackers, or canned tuna. At the end, participants gather to share the food brought by the group.

The grounds are spacious, access-controlled, and surrounded by nature, with beautiful views of the forest and lakes. Camping areas are available if you bring your own tent, along with restrooms and a grilling area with tables and chairs. Additional cabins are also being developed for guest accommodations.

Yagé

Yagé (also spelled yajé) is an entheogenic brew used in traditional rituals by Indigenous communities of the Amazon, particularly in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. It is commonly prepared from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine together with other plants such as Psychotria viridis. The experience can be intense and may include challenging physical or emotional effects, which is why traditional guidance, preparation, and respect for the practice are central to the ceremony.

The Legacy of Colombian Indigenous Peoples


This ancestral practice comes from Indigenous peoples of the Colombian Amazon, where Yagé has long been used in sacred ceremonies centered on spiritual connection, insight, healing, and release. Their traditions remind us that the practice should be approached with respect for its cultural and ceremonial roots.
