Pain does not come from one place. It gathers from history, family, and culture, and settles in the body, becoming our shadows and our hauntings. We meet it with clinical backing, cultural know-how, and ceremonial care so openings can happen, and change can manifest in your soul.

In the high desert of the land of the Huichol, a conversation between clinical practice and indigenous ceremony became Affinity Novandi, a home for profound inner work. In groups no larger than five, a trauma-informed psychoanalytic psychotherapist, a native anthropologist and coach, and a mind-body healer work alongside a Wixárika shaman to help you open to what’s unseen. With us, psyche, spirit, body, and community meet as kin.

We invite you to inspect yourself and expand your soul in our signature sacred medicine treatments: Held in the desert heartland of peyote, our peyote retreat in Real de Catorce is an exclusive world-first offering. A ceremony-led program rooted in place, not beside it, where the land, its people, and highly qualified practitioners do the work.

Or join our psilocybin truffle retreat in the Netherlands , a therapeutic deep dive into the mind, with breath and movement, ceremony, and creative process inviting healing and self-discovery. You can expect rigorous preparation and screening. Plants that open inner portals in dialogue with a psychoanalytic ethos that listen for what hides beneath and knows how to hold turbulent waters. Mind–body practices that steady breath and nerve. Ceremonies that invite the mystical and let the spirits speak. Integration that shapes the formless into a way forward.

Come as you are, we’ll hold the space, we’ll listen for the unconscious, tune in to the folds of history beneath the skin, and help move what’s stuck, what splinters, what asks to be met. We’ll hold the sacred work with care and respect, so you can step back into your life with steadiness and clarity, and a path for tending what has opened.
