October 1st - 7th
La Garde-Freinet
6-Day Deep Dive
Nestled in a secluded forest an hour from St. Tropez, this 7-day ceremonial immersion offers an intimate and luxurious space to go inward, unwind, and reconnect. With just 6 to 8 participants, each guest will have their own private room with a bathroom. Together we will share four ceremonies, nourishing meals, and a gentle rhythm of spaciousness, connection, and presence.
This gathering is a quiet invitation to step outside the noise of daily life and into a carefully held space of prayer, healing, and inner exploration.
Held in an elegant, tranquil forest home, this week offers an intimate setting for those ready to walk deeper with the medicine, whether for the first time or to return to it with fresh eyes.
Recommended for those:
Looking for a deep and profound healing in life.
Looking for inspiration and clarity who don’t know where their life is heading.
Simply looking to go deeper with oneself.
Who are at a crossroads in life.
After the past few years of leading longer immersions and container experiences, we’ve consistently heard a clear message. It’s time to offer these extended journeys more frequently as we recognize the profound benefits that arise from dedicating meaningful time in community and in communion with plant teachers.
We have come to truly appreciate the depth of transformation possible when we can spend focused, intentional time with each participant. Whether you are experienced with the medicine, seeking to deepen your healing or a newcomer wanting a gentler, more gradual introduction to the medicine, this longer container offers a unique opportunity to go deeper wherever you find yourself on the journey.
A 6-day journey provides ample quality time. Time to connect more fully with yourself, with the medicine, and with the collective process of unfolding and discovery.
We’re honoured to hold this sacred space before the end of 2025 as Dennis has recently returned from lovingly preparing six different batches of medicine now available at the altar. Over these six days, we will work with you with intention, offering personalised Medicine preparations tailored to your unique needs and intentions.

What to Expect
This six-day retreat follows the rhythm of our Soma Immersion format, with two night ceremonies and two day ceremonies held in the garden. Between ceremonies, there will be ample time to rest, integrate, and connect — both with yourself and with the land.
We will work with four different brews during this period.
Three of them are concentrated preparations made with care in Hawaii earlier this year. The fourth is a special Daime brought from Brazil. Together, they offer a range of strength and subtlety, allowing us to meet each person and their nervous system exactly where they are, and to tailor the medicine to the needs of the moment and the flow of each ceremony.
You will be guided throughout by Dennis and the Sacred Journey team, supported by experienced musicians and space holders.
The secluded setting, gentle rhythm, and small group size are all intentionally chosen to offer care, presence, and space to genuinely arrive.
Schedule Overview
October 1: Arrival and settling in

About The Team
About the Team
This retreat will be held by a small and experienced team dedicated to presence, care, and years of deep study with the plants. Each person brings not only training, but lived experience—years in ceremony, time with each other, and time in devotion to this path.
We’ll be here throughout the retreat to support you with steadiness and care, holding a safe and intentional space where you can settle, listen, and meet what’s present.
Alongside Dennis, we will be joined by additional space holders and a dedicated chef preparing nourishing meals with love and intention. Supporting the ceremonies, music will be offered by Diana Carr, Layv, and Pao Pamaki—three musicians whose work with the plants runs deep. Their songs have guided many through tender moments of insight, healing, and remembrance.
You can begin to tune into their sound by exploring their music on Spotify—let it meet you where you are and gently begin the journey.
