1 Jurema + 1 Acacia
Jurema
The grounding sister of Acacia, Jerumá is a Brazilian medicine that roots you deeply in your body and the earth. It gently supports release, calm, and stabilization, helping you feel safe, present, and embodied as your journey unfolds.Acacia
An ancient medicine of initiation and presence, Acacia opens the heart and mind to deeper awareness. Guided with care, this ceremony helps you safely access insight, ancestral connection, and clarity. Its effects often continue for 30 days after the ceremony, supporting integration, embodiment, and alignment. -
Movement, somatic workshops, and practices help you anchor safety in your body. These sessions teach you to recognize tension, release it, and step fully into grounded presence. Through breath, and guided exercises, you’ll embody your inner strength and intuition.

community circles, reflection, and relational practices support trust, belonging, and emotional safety. These spaces allow for witnessing, being witnessed, and connecting deeply with other women on the same path of remembrance.

She’s worked with MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), advocating for trauma-informed plant medicine practices — especially for veterans healing from PTSD and collaborating with clinicians, researchers, and Indigenous wisdom keepers. She brings ancient medicine and modern science together in a way that is real, grounded, and heart-centered.

Perri Heller
Perri Heller is a Licensed Educator, Reiki Master, Retreat Leader, and Medicine Woman. Starting her journey as an entrepreneur more than a decade ago, Perri quit her teaching job to live in Colombia, where she founded her first retreat company to help people explore the power of transformative travel.
As she evolved, so did her business, shifting into healing, reiki, and eventually, plant medicine. While traveling the world, Perri found a variety of mentors, from Colombian shamans to a modern medicine woman who introduced her to Acacia, the Egyptian Tree of Life. From her first ceremony with Acacia, Perri felt a deep remembrance of her work with this plant spirit in previous lifetimes, and recognition of her soul's calling to serve this medicine once again.
Perri believes each individual is their own best healer, so she aims to create spaces that educate and empower others to explore deep within themselves to remember their unique gifts and wisdom. Through coaching, retreats, and ceremonies, Perri inspires people to harness the magic within them for deep healing and authentic expression to realize their full potential and highest purpose, while appreciating every present moment of this beautiful existence.

FAQ: What’s actually holding you back?
☥
-
☥ I feel the pull... but I’m scared.
Of course you are. Transformation can feel terrifying. But fear doesn't mean stop. It means you're standing at the edge of something powerful. You don't have to leap alone — I'm walking beside you.
-
☥ I don’t know if I can afford it.
I hear you. This is an investment not just in a trip, but in your healing, your clarity, your leadership. If this is a full body yes and you need support, message me. There may be flexible options available. And remember, the deposit holds your spot.
-
☥ What if I’m not ready?
You might not feel ready, but if you’re still reading this, something inside of you already is. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be willing.
-
☥ What if I come alone?
You won’t be alone for long. This is a heart-led community. A circle of women walking through the fire with you. You’ll be welcomed just as you are — no masks, no performance, just truth and connection.
-
☥ What is Acacia?
Acacia is an ancient plant medicine — often called the Egyptian Tree of Life. It's known as a form of Egyptian Ayahuasca, and has been used in ceremonial healing across North Africa and the Middle East for generations.
This medicine works from the root — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It helps clear stuck energy, open the heart, and reconnect back to who you are.
-
☥ What if nothing happens for me?
Totally valid question — and one I hear a lot.
Plant medicine isn’t about fireworks. It’s not always loud or dramatic. Sometimes the biggest healing comes in silence, stillness, or a subtle shift that ripples for months.Your journey will be your journey. No comparison. No pressure.
You’ll be supported every step — with prep, ceremony, integration, and real community.
