MexiSoul Retreats

The experience at Mexisoul was, for me, AMAZING! The time spent there was better than I could have imagined. From the first day I felt cared for and safe. The staff, facilitators, and volunteers were gracious and there to help us navigate the experiences towards the best possible outcome. The times in ceremony with the plant medicines were profound and have enhanced my sense of self, expanded my awareness and acceptance of my dark and light sides, and given me tools to help better cope with a world that seems to be spinning further and further out of control. I have a keen sense of peace and contentment in my days since returning home and I would highly recommend Mexisoul as the place you choose to do your first plant medicine retreat. You will be changed for the better.

Brilliant experience! I felt well taken care of and fully encouraged & supported in every aspect of the retreat and life at the beautiful Finca property. From the pickup at Guadalajara Airport to the accommodations, the food & drinks and the entire facilities were excellent and more than my expectations.
The quality of the medicine offered, the Shaman, the musicians and the many supportive staff members was extraordinary.
It your looking to explore plant medicines you would be wise to consider Mexisoul.

There are a few words that come to mind right away as I think of my time at Mexisoul and those words are Healing, Rewarding, Worthwhile, Affirmative and Loving! The entire Mexisoul team is full of love and only want the best for your overall health, wellness and growth. They will do everything they can to make your healing journey as comfortable as possible. Healing is a process that can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful but Mexisoul provides a loving and supportive environment conducive to that healing! Ruger, Humberto, Krista, Pedro and Diana will always have a very space place in my heart as they held a very special place in my healing! Thank you Mexisoul for everything!

Thank you for your thoughtful review Tracy! We’re so glad that your time at MexiSoul was healing and rewarding, and it means so much to us that our team and environment made a positive impact on your journey.

Healing can indeed be challenging, and we’re honored to have been able to provide the love and support you needed during this transformative process. Thank you for trusting us, and we hope to welcome you back someday. Wishing you continued growth and wellness!

You can take ayahuasca in many different places but for me no where will compare with Mexisoul. The care the staff takes to create a space of peace, love, acceptance and safety is one of a kind.

I read the RetreatGuru reviews before signing up for the August 2024 retreat and was reassured by all the testimonials. Now I try to find the words to give my own testimony.

If you are looking for a sign, let it be this. There is no better place than Mexisoul to take this medicine. You will be loved, supported, guided and taken care of while you go through a truly transformative journey. Your fellow travelers will become close friends. It is magical. It's beyond words.

I had questions before I left for my journey: Should I do something traditional in Peru? What about Humberto the shaman- he came to this later in life, from a non traditional path and has a somewhat non traditional approach of empowering you to heal yourself- is that what I want or do I want a guru who "heals me? Ruger who runs this seems like a regular white guy who had a spiritual transformation in 2021 can I trust someone who wasn't raised in a native plant medicine tradition to create an authentic healing experience? I think everyone in my group shared similar questions but we were all so grateful we decided to come to Mexisoul. It was exactly what each of us needed.

The support staff and integration staff are phenomenal. They are amazing people on their own journey of healing and their support comes from a place of love and understanding that allows you to feel seen and to be truly vulnerable because you know you are safe in every sense: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

This set, setting and combination of people and circumstances is exactly what I needed to have my own healing experience.

The live music is like nothing I've ever experienced. Magical is the best way to describe it. The food was delicious and healthy and plentiful. The setting is in gorgeous countryside with animals surrounding you. So cool to hear the wolves howl as thunder rolls and the singing fills the Osho hut.

Trust yourself. Follow your heart. And I hope our paths cross at Mexisoul because I will be coming back again. 🩵🩵🩵

We look forward to the day our paths cross again. Thank you for being part of the MexiSoul family.

I attended the August 2024 retreat at Mexisol, so this review is long overdue. It’s hard to put into words just how transformative this experience was; so, to help me find the words, I looked back at my journal, the pictures and videos… it has brought up so many amazing memories and emotions. In short… There is magic in this place and in its people… REAL magic! I can’t imagine a better program with more brilliant, insightful, talented, gifted and dedicated people in service to their calling. The ingeniously designed itinerary and the safe space they create while also giving you the tools & entertainment to make the most of your experience are exceptional. The property, accommodations and food were also amazing. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Mexisol; I left with an abundance of joy in my heart and continue to cherish it daily. I eagerly wait for the Universe to call me again to Mexisol and can’t wait to see what I learn next time. In long… While the Universe probably guides much of what happens at the Finca, everything seems planned to the last detail where you are never left wanting and get the exact messages & experiences you need to receive whether you were looking for them or not. I came to Mexisol as more of a curious explorer hoping that it would help confirm my path to pursue my calling. I got that and so much more healing than I ever expected. I learned so many things at the retreat… how to process, journal and integrate. How to meditate, breathe and to think exponentially more deeply. I put into practice being present, creating safe spaces, healing and projecting my love & support to others. I finally found my voice and felt safe being vulnerable in front of others. But I wouldn’t have had nearly the exceptional experience I had without the many people there that made it possible. From the “management” to the staff, from the volunteers to the grounds keepers and to the 15 other participants that made this experience so special to me… thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’d love to call them out each by name to thank them but will opt to recognize the following since it might help you make your decision on whether or not Mexisol is right for you… - The program is so intrinsically brilliant that even the 15 other participants, in which I was lucky enough to attend, felt hand picked just for me. And I hope I have made lifelong friends with each one of them. Thank you! - Ruger, your vision for what Mexisol is and what it will become is exceptional. You’re brilliant and absolutely on the right path to see your calling succeed… helping many, many, many people with what they need along their journeys. I trust you to bring good into the world. - Humberto, you are indeed a magical man. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect Shaman to help guide me on my path. Your meditations took me on a journey of discovering the vastness of the universe and the magnitude of my own little world. You have a gift I am glad you are sharing with all whom seek it. - Jamie (integration), Marina, Christa and all the other teachers who gave guidance & advice and taught meditations & breathing techniques… you are all so brilliant, wise and dedicated to your callings; you are vital to the success and uniqueness of this retreat. - The music, the singing and the dancing were instrumental (not sorry for the pun) in driving each of the experiences… there are no words to express the power and pure joy these talented performers conveyed. They take you on a journey that lifts the heart and brings tears to your eyes. I’m still humming the songs weeks later and get goosebumps when I share with friends and family. - The food was “simple” and delicious! Too good actually… the pre-retreat diet was a dedicated struggle for me, but the food there was so good it makes me think I can really enjoy eating healthy in my everyday life… and I have continued to do so… but would still really appreciate a Finca El Pendulo cookbook. - The accommodations were simple, clean and amazing! The property is beautiful and filled with magic. You can’t beat being woken up to the sound of horses and donkeys galloping past your room in the morning and watching them graze up-close during the day. The sound of those beautiful wolves howling as you go to sleep is so special too. - …I could go on, but it truly does need to be experienced to capture it all. We are all in process; learning to grow and deal with difficult things to help find or remember who we really are. This place and these unique, special people guide you along this path as they walk their own… sometimes leading by example when necessary but they also give you the freedom find your own path after giving you the tools. So when you are called to this experience, I can’t imagine a better place to go than Mexisol Retreats. Good luck on your journeys!
