Overview
Beyond the noise of everyday life lies a quiet truth—you are already whole. Over four intimate days with Dr. Carlos Warter, you’ll learn to rest in that truth through love, awareness, and presence. This retreat blends contemplative practice, integrative coaching, and (for qualified participants) sacred plant medicine work to help you remember what it means to live freely, love fully, and move in rhythm with life.
This is not a break from life—it’s a return to it.
Who This Is For
- You sense a deeper calling beneath success, roles, or routines.
- You’re ready to release outdated identities and make space for what’s true now.
- You want grounded guidance that honors both psychology and spirituality.
What You’ll Experience
- Foundational Practices: meditation, breath, gentle awareness training.
- Inquiry & Coaching: guided reflection to dissolve limiting narratives.
- Sacred Plant Medicine (eligible participants): optional, safely held and integrated.
- Integration: practical tools to carry insight into daily life with clarity and purpose.
About Dr. Carlos Warter
Author, Medical Doctor, Psychiatrist, and spiritual teacher, Carlos Warter, MD integrates psychology and spirituality into a non-dual paradigm he calls psychosynergy. Recipient of the Pax Mundi Award and UN Peace Messenger Award, he has written 22 books (in six languages; translated into nine) and spent over 50 years researching consciousness and the therapeutic use of psychedelics and medicine. His teaching—shaped by Kabbalistic and Sufi initiations, Amazonian lineages, and direct study with masters including Idries Shah and H.H. the Dalai Lama—prioritizes awakening Essence over technique. Dr. Warter lives in North San Diego County with his wife, Carolina, where he teaches, keeps a private practice, and paints.
