The S2S Framework was developed across two years and three thousand integration sessions. It is the structure inside which the medicines and the ceremonies and the long return home all relate to each other.
A 90-minute intake call, a written intention statement, and (where applicable) medical clearance from a physician familiar with our protocols. We turn down approximately one in three applicants.
Seven sittings across ten days: three ayahuasca, three psilocybe veladas, one San Pedro. Each held in the lineage of the curandera or curandero who taught it. Songs in Shipibo, Spanish, and silence.
Twelve months of monthly group calls, six months of one-to-one sessions in your native language, and a closing session at month twelve. The work that began in fire returns as the practice of an ordinary Tuesday.
For those who continue: the Practitioner Path. Three tiers of training, taught in four cities, that turn the integration into a transmission. Optional. Earned, not bought.
Each stage is composed of three modules. They are sequenced — not in time, but in dependency. Each prepares the next.
What people say they want is rarely what brought them. The intake call (90 minutes, in your native language, with a senior facilitator) is the first place where the medicine begins to do its work — by allowing the question underneath the question to be heard out loud.
Outcome: a written intention, drafted by you and edited by us, that travels with you into the maloca.
Plant medicines have absolute and relative contraindications. We work with a physician network in Romania, the United States, and Israel to clear conditions and medications before arrival. We turn down candidates whose medical histories make the work unsafe — and we will say so plainly.
Two weeks of dieta before the retreat: simplified eating, no alcohol, no recreational substances. This is not asceticism — it is the slow turning down of the volume so that what the medicine is saying can be heard.
The opening ceremony is held in the long-form Shipibo style: icaros sung over hours, no music other than rattle and song. The medicine is offered three times across the night. You are met where you arrive.
Wachuma is a daylight medicine. A single sun-side ceremony, slow and grounded, often described as the day the body remembers what it is. Held mid-week, after the first ayahuasca and the first mushroom velada have already opened the work.
Three veladas across the ten days — smaller groups (six guests per facilitator), candlelit. The Mazatec velada tradition met by S2S integration. The first opens after the first ayahuasca; the third closes the cohort. Often the most precise work of the retreat.
Each morning: a circle in four languages, with translation done in a way that lets the meaning move sideways. Romanian, Russian, and English speakers in the same room, witnessing each other's mornings.
One day in the middle of the ten with no scheduled work. Plant baths prepared by the curanderas. Hammocks, journals, the river. The medicine continues to move whether you do or not.
The final ceremony is held in the open air. A personal sit with Víctor (or with the senior facilitator in your language). A ritual of departure that does not pretend the work is finished.
One 90-minute call per month, in your language, with the same cohort you sat with. The integration is what happens between calls — the call is where it gets remembered.
Six monthly sessions with a certified S2S integration practitioner in your language. The work moves from the maloca to the kitchen, the inbox, the relationship, the parent.
At month twelve, a single 2-hour session with Víctor (in person if possible). What the medicine asked is, by then, mostly answered. What remains is the question of what next — and whether the Practitioner Path is yours.
The medicine is a place where the work becomes possible. The work is what you do on the Tuesday after, alone, when the medicine is gone and the kitchen still needs cleaning.
Insight that arrived in your mother tongue cannot be integrated only in your second tongue. Romanian, Russian, English — every cohort is held in three.
We work in the lineages of the curanderas who taught Víctor. We name them. We pay them. We send back to them what they ask us to send back. The medicine is not ours.
We have refused outside investment twice. The day this becomes a venture-backed business, it becomes a worse business. Two cohorts of thirty per month is the cap and will remain.
We turn down approximately one in three applicants. Most of those, kindly. A method that can hold everyone holds no one well.
The Practitioner Path is offered, after the year, to those whose integration has become someone else's possibility. It is earned, not bought. Approximately 8% of guests apply. Approximately 4% are accepted.
The S2S Practitioner Path is open to those who have completed the twelve-month container and whose integration has begun to look like work others can use. It is taught across three tiers, in Bucharest, Tel Aviv, Berlin, and New York.
