Hi love! 💛
I'm your co-host, Judy Machado
Author and Cacao Spirit-Medicine Ceremonialist, Judy's life was forevermore transformed when she began to reverently drink Ceremonial Cacao daily. She developed a profound connection to this heart-opening, consciousness-raising infinite intelligence, now sharing with others how they too can connect deeply to Mama Cacao, to ignite their intuition, connection to Source, and clarity of their purpose. Cacao has exponentially accelerated her spiritual journey and she now shares this Sacred Cacao with others to experience through daily Rituals, Ceremonies, Facilitator Trainings, and Wellness Retreats in Peru & the Azores.

I'm also your co-host, Katie Isiminger
Founder of Love Collective
Katie was first called to plant medicine work about 10 years ago and during her first ceremony she was able to let go of things she'd spent years in therapy trying to resolve and deepen her awareness of the workings of the universe including our unified connection to all things. In that first ceremony she was guided to continue to work deeply with the plants knowing she would eventually bring their gifts to others.
After several years of deep personal work with the mushroom medicines, she began her training with her shaman learning and embodying more deeply the gifts of these medicines. She apprenticed and held space for the healing of others for years before starting to host journeys and ceremonies.
Awaken your authentic + ancient SELF, harmonizing Spirit + Earth
Your true nature is to be deeply authentic and intuitive. Awaken her from your dream and step into your purpose through this transformational 8 day sacred journey
Magnificent nature
Join us for a wellness journey of a lifetime!

What's included in this magical retreat?
There are 3 costs for this retreat, which have been divided:
1. 🌺 Flights & hotels (one room, single occupancy; double occupancy available). You will be guided by Judy to make this purchase directly with the airline and hotel that Judy will share with you.
2. 🌺 Guided daily travel to awe-inspiring sites, where we will experience sacred rituals and ceremonies to connect to Pachamama. This separate cost includes all transportation to and from each site on each of the 7 days as well as the guided ceremonies and rituals by Judy and Kaite.
3. 🌺 Food, snacks, tips, personal purchases, and transportation to and from the airport. The hotel will include breakfast and some other meals, with at least 4 dinners expected to be in restaurants. Rather than eating in larger tourist restaurants that are familiar with group menus, we will be experiencing unbelievably delicious traditional and typical Portuguese meals in many of Judy's favorite, smaller, local village restaurants. Everyone will have an opportunity to order directly and pay accordingly. Exceptional, yet reasonably priced food, is a beautiful part of this magical journey!
