About Us
Sovereign Path Retreats was founded to provide guided Bufo, Kambo, breathwork, and other plant medicine ceremonies in Sedona’s powerful natural landscape. Evelin, the founder, felt a strong personal calling to explore healing, consciousness, and how people can find their true inner balance. For the past 10 years, she has focused on learning and practicing ceremonial traditions, somatic healing, and other methods to support emotional release and personal growth.
Through mentorship from teachers in Indigenous ceremonial traditions and integration practices, Evelin developed a strong respect for the importance of creating safe, intentional containers for this work. These influences now shape the foundation of Sovereign Path Retreats.
Today, Sovereign Path Retreats offers guided plant medicine ceremonies in Sedona’s powerful natural landscape that combine ceremony, and guided integration. These retreats help people let go of emotional burdens, reconnect with their true selves, and find new clarity and purpose. Each retreat takes place in a supportive setting, so the changes people experience last well beyond the retreat itself.
What We Offer
Small-group retreats designed for emotional release, clarity, and lasting integration.
Experience guided Bufo, Kambo, breathwork, and other plant medicine ceremonies in Sedona’s powerful natural landscape.
Breathwork
Intentional Breathing Pattern
Breathwork is a practice that uses specific breathing patterns to affect your body, mind, and emotions. By changing how you breathe, such as making your breaths deeper, faster, slower, or more rhythmic, you can activate your nervous system, release stress, and experience new states of awareness.
Kambo
Detox Healing
Kambo is a traditional purification practice where a secretion from the Phyllomedusa bicolor, a tree frog found in the Amazon Rainforest, is applied to the skin. Indigenous tribes use this secretion to help with physical cleansing, boost stamina, and remove what they consider negative or stagnant energy.
Bufo
Consciousness Expansion
Bufo is a powerful psychoactive medicine. It comes from the secretions of the Bufo alvarius, or Colorado River toad. The secretions contain 5-MeO-DMT, a natural compound. This induces intense, short-lived, and profound states of consciousness.
Rapé
Shamanic Snuff
Rapé (pronounced ra-pay) is a sacred shamanic snuff made from powdered tobacco and other medicinal plants, traditionally used by Indigenous peoples of the Amazon Rainforest. It is administered through the nose using a small pipe (often called a tepi or kuripe).
Psilocybin
Sacred Mushrooms
Sacred mushrooms contain the psychoactive compounds psilocybin and psilocin. For centuries, Indigenous cultures in Mexico have used these mushrooms in spiritual and ceremonial practices. They played a role in healing, divination, and gaining spiritual insight.
Cacao
Ceremonial Tea
Cacao, prepared as a warm drink from pure ground paste, has long played a central role in spiritual and cultural rituals among Indigenous Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Maya and Aztec. It is recognized for its heart-opening and grounding qualities.
Sananga
Eye Drops
Sananga is a traditional eye medicine made from the roots and bark of plants in the Tabernaemontana family. It has been used for generations by Indigenous tribes of the Amazon Rainforest, including the Matsés, primarily for healing, hunting, and spiritual purification.
Kundalini Activation
Life Force Energy Activation
Kundalini activation is a guided process that helps awaken the body’s natural energy. People often describe this energy as a gentle force that moves through the spine and nervous system. The practice usually involves breathwork, gentle movement, and focused attention. These techniques can release tension, increase body awareness, and shift emotional or mental patterns. Many people notice greater clarity, connection, and vitality as their bodies become more balanced.

Who It’s For
Benefits
These plant medicine retreats in Sedona are intended for people seeking meaningful transformation and a closer connection with themselves. Participants may be managing life transitions, experiencing emotional challenges, feeling constrained by habitual patterns, or seeking greater focus and purpose. The retreat is most appropriate for those who are open, self-responsible, and willing to engage in the process with intention. Prior experience with plant medicine is not required; however, a devotion to being present with one's inner experience is essential.
Participants in our Sedona plant medicine retreats frequently report a range of benefits, including emotional release, enhanced mental clarity, and a strengthened perception of connection to themselves and their life direction. Practices such as Kambo, Cacao, and breathwork are designed to support the body in resetting stress cycles and fostering new viewpoints and understandings. Many individuals leave the retreat feeling unburdened, more grounded, and better prepared to make decisions aligned with their personal and professional goals.
Preparation
Integration
Safety is a core priority in all of our plant medicine retreats in Sedona. Each participant completes a thorough screening process prior to attending to ensure the experience is appropriate for them. Clear preparation guidelines are provided, including dietary recommendations, lifestyle considerations, and what to expect during each ceremony. All sessions are facilitated in a controlled, helpful environment with attention to pacing, individual needs, and integration support. This structure helps create a safe container in which participants can fully engage in the process with confidence.
Integration is an essential part of the plant medicine retreat experience. Following the ceremonies, participants are given time and space to process their experiences through reflection, discussion, and grounding practices. Guidance is provided on integrating insights from the Sedona retreat into daily life, supporting lasting change rather than temporary shifts. Continued awareness, practical exercises, and intentional action are emphasized to help participants stabilize and build upon the gains achieved during the retreat.
