About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Shadow to Light — Ancestral Healing Retreat

Transform generational wounds into wisdom and light.Beneath every pattern we repeat lies a story that did not begin with us.

The Shadow to Light Immersion is a 7-day sacred journey of remembrance and release — a deep descent into the ancestral roots of trauma, shame, addiction, and silence.

Through Earth medicine, guided ritual, and embodied integration, you’ll trace the threads of pain that have woven through your lineage — not to relive them, but to redeem them.

This is the work of the healer, the leader, and the cycle-breaker.

When you face the shadow with courage and compassion, the past transforms into light — and your lineage begins to breathe again.

Held along the luminous coast of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, this retreat is designed for those ready to expand beyond limitation and fully claim their divine authority.

Set between the ocean, mountains, and jungle of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, this retreat weaves together Earth medicine, movement, ceremony, and conscious nourishment to anchor your purpose and prepare you for the year ahead.

🌿 Core Elements of the Immersion

🍄 Sacred Earth Medicines
Work with Psilocybin, Bufo, and Kambo in safe, ceremonial settings guided by experienced facilitators. Each medicine is approached with prayer, intention, and energetic protection. These ceremonies are not for thrill-seeking—they are for truth-seeking. (*Non-medicine immersions are also available upon request.*)

🔥 Rituals & Ceremony
Sweat lodge (temazcal), sacred fire ceremonies, daily altar practice, and intention setting create the structure for transformation. Ritual is the language of the soul—and it lives at the center of Merkaba Retreats.

💫 Energetic & Somatic Practices
Daily Kundalini and Hatha yoga, breathwork, mantra, sound healing, and embodiment work prepare your body for ceremony and help integrate insights in real time. These practices become lifelong tools for balance, grounding, and vitality.

🌿 Clean, Conscious Nourishment
Enjoy plant-based and pescatarian meals prepared with love and intention. Each meal supports cleansing, grounding, and energetic clarity—honoring all dietary needs.

💖 Small Groups, Deep Connection
Each immersion is intentionally intimate—typically 1–6 participants—to allow personalized attention, authentic connection, and a safe, trusting field for profound healing and growth.

✨ Who This Retreat Is For

* Visionary leaders, creators, and seekers ready to align their purpose with divine timing
* Couples wishing to begin the year in shared clarity and connection
