Program
The 5th Dimension Sama builds on the two-week Perú immersion of Shipibo Sama with an additional six weeks of virtual programming — creating an eight-week journey that weaves together ancient plant medicine wisdom and a modern framework for living in fuller relationship with the world.
For those who want not just an immersive experience but a structured education and a community to grow with, this program offers both. Through the 5D framework — Body, Spirit, Soul, Reciprocity, and Community — participants arrive in Perú prepared, and return home with a living map and a circle of people walking the same path.
As the world shifts from the limiting 3rd dimensional principles of scarcity, separation and powerlessness, we move to the holistic 5th dimensional principles: Body, Spirit, Soul, Reciprocity, and Community. The program is designed to teach participants how to utilize the 5th dimensional principles alongside Shipibo cosmovision. The eight weeks are divided into three phases: four weeks of virtual preparation via Zoom, two weeks of in-person immersion in Perú, and two weeks of virtual integration upon return. Each virtual week is built around two sessions — one teaching session where the content and practices for that week's 5D principle are introduced, and one community day where participants gather to ask questions, share intentions, and begin applying the principles in their own lives. Participants also receive weekly channeled transmissions that serve as an ongoing thread of guidance and connection, holding the container from beginning to end.
8 Week itinerary
Week 1 (Virtual) - Introduction - Sept 1-6, 2026 | March 1-7, 2027
Introductions between all teachers and participants, to the 5D framework and intention setting.
Week 2 (Virtual) - Body - Sept 7-13, 2026 | March 8-14, 2027
Participants begin to feel themselves as an individual with a body — a finely tuned instrument that has direct access to the spirit world. We begin attunement with our body, awakening self-awareness through sensation.
Week 3 (Virtual) - Spirit - Sept 14-20, 2026 | March 15-21, 2027
Recognizing the life force that runs through all beings. With this recognition, we begin our connection to other beings via spirit. This week we also begin Sama protocols in preparation of the Perú immersion.

Moving to our higher selves and our ancestors. We will also have a call to review what to pack & travel logistics.

Weeks 5–6 - Perú Immersion - Sept 28-Oct 11, 2026 | March 29-April 11, 2027
Douglas will create a plant protocol for each person in the program, including teas, plant baths and dream interpretation. We begin with two days of cleansing of the body, emotions and mental state through purgative plants. To support the depth of the process, we will primarily spend our time in silence, with one meal a day. Learning activities include traditional Shipibo art, embroidery, and other ceremonial practices. We live in an immersive reciprocal relationship with the Shipibo, the land, medicine, and spirit. At the close of the two weeks, there will be a final ceremony — consuming psychedelic medicine is optional and not needed to participate in the ceremony.

What does receiving and giving community support look like amongst our human kin, more than human kin and with the spirit world. Bringing back what we've learned to the greater community.
