Ascension Journeyz

This was my second time with Tapovan, LaJaiLa, Mano and Barbara. The first experience was so exceptional that I came back for more. What strikes me about this group is the attention, care, patience and level of service provided. At all times, I genuinely felt it was their pleasure to be of service to their participants.

Tapovan and LaJaiLa are an excellent team that guide you through the day to day experiences - yoga, breath work and guided meditations are the backbone of the daily work. Their service in ceremony is a wonder to experience. Their integration circle insights and constant availability for one on one conversations demonstrate their unwavering support for an individuals growth and transformation goals. Mano and Barbara were our noble guides in ceremony with intuitive leadership and the most incredible live music you may ever experience. Collectively, they are kind and powerful healers that work hard to create and maintain a safe place for you to do the work.

Look, I could rave about them on many different levels but who wants to read all of that?! Instead, I'll leave you with one final thought. If you're in search of personal growth, healing and/or transformational guidance, you could not find a better group than this.

I would like to say about this retreat that it is the real deal. The guides/shamans are professional and know how to work with the medicine and energies. The beautiful live music during the ceremonies is amazing and very supportive of the process. The food is amazing, the beds are comfortable, and the healing space outside is designed to do this inner work in. Besides that, this retreat has a very well organized schedule with activities that complement each other. The yoga, breath work, temazcal and one ice bath between the ceremonies are an additional help with the integration.

I'm incredibly grateful for my experience at Ascension Journey. I came to the retreat hoping to work through some root-cause issues, and I was surprised by the unexpected areas of my life that were most deeply impacted.

Each activity is thoughtfully designed to prepare both your body and mind—but more than that, each step challenges you to confront and release long-held beliefs, assumptions, and physical limitations. There's a profound respect for the medicine, the Indigenous tribes, and the cultural traditions from which these practices are derived. The space feels safe, intentional, and supportive—ideal for doing deep inner work.

The retreat is set in a stunning location, surrounded by majestic mountains and nestled in land held sacred by the local people. The natural surroundings enhance the sense of connection, reflection, and peace.

Accommodations are minimalist—there may not be hot showers—but they are comfortable and in alignment with the overall experience. The vegan food, prepared by local cooks, is nourishing and delicious. As someone who typically eats meat, I was surprised by how completely satisfied I felt with every meal.

At home, I don’t regularly practice yoga, breathwork, meditation, or journaling, so the daily routine was a powerful and accessible introduction to these tools. They helped me reconnect with myself in meaningful ways.

As I return to my daily life, I feel grounded, open, and ready to integrate everything I’ve learned.

This is my second time coming to one of these retreats and I must say that this is the best retreat I have ever been to. Everything was so well organized. All the ceremonies were beautiful and spiritually fulfilling. If you'd like a great life changing experience I'd highly recommend booking with Ascension Journeyz, I'm sure I'll be back to do another retreat in the future :-)

I needed true soul healing, and as I scrolled through all the offerings, I felt drawn to Ascension Journeyz. I believe it was Divine guidance that led me to this beautiful piece of heaven in the mountains of Mexico, because what has been created there is a place filled with a gentle love and devotion for all who come seeking a deeper connection with Source and higher understanding of Self.
Topovan is a strong, beautiful soul who lives every word he speaks; and the truth of his words strike a chord that awakens the part of you that sometimes gets lost along the way. He connects with each person there and works tirelessly to take care of everyone’s needs. His yoga, meditation, and breathwork sessions reminded me how to breathe and how to connect with my higher power again-something I couldn’t do on my own after losing my son.
Le’ Jai’ La is simply magical in every way—a sweet little Sprite sent to spread love, joy, understanding and wisdom from another realm-yet fierce in her determination to right the wrongs and heal the pain of Pachamama and many of her children.
And, Mano is a gentle, old soul, whose strong, peaceful presence and beautiful music guided and grounded the ceremonies. His quietness spoke louder than the words of anyone I’ve ever met.
If you are looking for a life-changing experience, this is it. I can’t say it was easy- we don’t learn the most valuable lessons during the easy times-but you will leave with a new soul family and with a new awareness that will change you forever. I am so grateful for my experience at Ascension Journeyz-So very thankful for Topovan, Jai’La, and Mano for all the love.
