Sacred Cacao Mushroom Ceremony for Life Transitions Small-Group Retreat with Preparation & Integration at Harmony Taos Farm Limited to a small group to ensure safety, personal attention, and meaningful preparation and integration support.
With Anastasia "Blue" Sheldon and Ricardo Guerrero
May 29 - June 1, 2026
There are moments in life when a chapter ends and something new is trying to begin. This intimate weekend retreat supports people at that threshold, offering clarity, ancestral guidance, and a carefully held ceremonial experience.
Through preparation work, a guided sacred cacao mushroom ceremony, and thoughtful integration, participants are invited to listen deeply to their own inner wisdom and the voices of their ancestors. The goal is simple: release what no longer serves you, reconnect with deeper purpose, and step more consciously into the next chapter of life.
Ceremony & Support
The heart of the retreat is a sacred cacao medicine ceremony on Saturday night, facilitated by Ricardo Guerrero. Ricardo is a trained practitioner in the Toltec and Apache traditions with 13 years of ceremonial experience and a deep relationship with the spirit of the Niños Santos. Ricardo comes to this work with authorization from elders and with an intact living and honored lineage.
Preparation for and integration of this work are essential, and thus a pre-journey consultation and a post-journey integration session will be offered to help you enter and process the ceremony with safety and support.
About Blue & Harmony Taos Farm
The retreat takes place at Harmony Taos Farm, hosted by Blue, who lives on the land and holds the container for the weekend. After 17 years as a successful real estate entrepreneur, she felt called to step away from her career and familiar surroundings to devote herself to work supporting personal and collective transformation, guided by the belief that our choices affect the next seven generations.
Harmony Taos Farm was created as a peaceful sanctuary where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves and the natural world, and listen more deeply to their inner guidance. Blue lives on the property full-time and tends the land with care, creating a stable and intentionally held environment for those who come to do inner work.
Drawing on decades of experience and her own path of growth and renewal, Blue offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space where participants can explore ancestral wisdom, release limiting beliefs, and allow their nervous systems to settle in the quiet support of the land.
Before the retreat, each participant meets with Blue for a private intake call to clarify intentions. During the weekend she offers a one-on-one IFS-inspired coaching session, along with optional practices such as gentle movement, forest bathing, or a nearby hot springs visit to deepen reflection and integration.
What Makes This Retreat Different
Many medicine retreats focus only on the ceremony. This retreat is designed as a complete arc of preparation, ceremony, and integration, giving you support before, during, and after the weekend.
Key elements include:
• Pre-retreat check-in with Blue and post retreat check-in with Ricardo
• Individual coaching and intention-setting with Blue
• A host who lives on site and holds a grounded, safe container
• Small group size for personal attention and safety
• Nature-based practices to support reflection and integration
• A sacred ceremonial container held with intention and care
Ideal For
This retreat is supportive for anyone navigating life transitions such as:
• Career or life direction changes
• Relationship shifts or new stages of life
• Grief or ancestral exploration
• Spiritual awakening or deep inner work
• Seeking clarity, purpose, or alignment
No prior ceremonial experience is required—only a sincere intention to engage thoughtfully with the process.
