The Invitation
This work takes courage. For those who receive the calling, our plant medicine retreats offer an opportunity to reconnect to your true nature with a guidance of a caring, wise, and experienced team.

Our retreat is held at a breathtaking spiritual retreat center nestled in central highlands of Mexico that was purpose built to support and sustain sacred medicine work. Our comfortable, eco-friendly accommodations allow to immerse yourself in nature while enjoying the comforts of a 4-star resort.
In your off time, you can stroll through our beautiful gardens, swim in the natural pools, and admire the extensive collection of original artwork and sculptures from world renowned visionary artists.
