Other Recommended Sacred Medicines for San Pedro-Work:
If you and your partner are in a place where you’ve almost given up on your relationship and you’ve tried everything in mainstream society but you still love each other, San Pedro is an option that can help you work out your differences.
San Pedro is a sacred medicine that can be used in different ways to accomplish a variety of goals, but at Medicinas Sagradas, we primarily work with this medicine in the context of couples therapy and family therapy. At low, threshold doses, San Pedro opens up the lines of communication so that both parties in a couple or in a family relationship can communicate with more honesty, empathy, and clarity. Most of our couples therapy and family therapy clients work with both San Pedro and psilocybin either at home or by going abroad to release individual / personal trauma that’s getting in the way of having a healthy relationship.
San Pedro is an alternative to MDMA couples therapy. For more information about San Pedro vs. MDMA, click here.

Though you should not work with San Pedro and psilocybin at the same time, we do often recommend that couples and families in turmoil work with psilocybin and San Pedro separately for best results.

San Pedro Family Therapy Cycle / San Pedro Couple’sTherapy Cycle: Trip Prep, Pre-Trip, Post-Trip Integration, and Post-Trip Re-Grounding Session (60+60+60+60+90 minute session): $363 USD
For couples or family members who are working to resolve relationship differences, we begin with separate pre-trip sessions that include:
— > a 60 minute pre-trip session for each individual separately who will be working with San Pedro to discuss their starting block and what they hope to accomplish and overcome during the San Pedro trip.
–> a 60 minute pre-trip session for the couple together to discuss common goals and to allow us to observe the relationship dynamic between individuals. We also discuss expectations for the trip.
We schedule the San Pedro trip and discuss dosing with the parties involved and then on the day of the trip, we sit with couples and family members who are in conflict as they either drink San Pedro or take capsules or a paste together and then wait for the effects to take hold. As you consume the San Pedro, we talk about intention and do a short ceremony to help prevent nausea from taking this plant-medicine. This pre-trip session lasts for 60 minutes.
San Pedro effects typically last for at least 12 hours. We login at the 12 hour mark to discuss with couples and family members what they talked about and how they felt about it. We take notes for you about your trip because you’ll forget some of the things that happened on the trip later without taking some notes on it. This post-trip session lasts for 60 minutes.
After the initial 12 hours on San Pedro, there’s a “shift” that lasts for up to 24 hours after the trip, so we wait for 3-7 days after the trip to meet again with the parties involved to discuss the overall “shift” in regard to changes they’ve noticed in their relationship as a result of the San Pedro session. This final meeting lasts for 90 minutes. We discuss steps for the future.
