Details of this retreat
This retreat is a structured immersion into Pneuma Trance®, a method of trance induced and sustained through introspective breathing and guided attention. The program integrates somatic practices, introspective breathing, meditation and symbolic observation within a controlled and non-clinical framework. The core of the work is the cultivation of pause and silence. The method is oriented toward creating conditions where attention stabilizes, activity reduces and a state of quiet awareness can emerge and be sustained.
The experience combines structured sessions with guided visits to Teotihuacan, forest hikes, mountain landscapes and natural sites such as basaltic prisms. It includes cultural elements, local exploration, a traditional temazcal experience and live sound sessions, creating a balance between practice, environment and context.
The program includes optional traditional plant-based practices offered within an indigenous-informed and guided setting, with full orientation provided prior to participation.
Participants engage in daily sessions, group integration and individual observation within a contained setting, allowing direct experiential access to Estados No Ordinarios de Conciencia through disciplined and repeatable methods. Assistance with flight booking and travel coordination is available upon request.
“Plant medicine is not included in the listed price and is handled separately outside the platform.”
