Find Authentic Retreats in Isla Mujeres Mexico

"Agustina is a consumate shaman - a mistress of sound, fragance, song and plants. She guided me with great skill and dedicated care, introducing me to her home, the jungle and the plants. When I was not with Agustina, Marco at Kuha Wellness Community, where I stayed for four nights, provided excellent food and very friendly and cordial support. "

"This was one of the best and most interesting retreats I have been to and I've visiting many. Sara and her husband are so kind and they really have a nice diverse flexible schedule of events every day. The food is home cooking, healthy, and tasty. We did Kambo, yoga. sound therapy, a cacao ceremony, Rape', Ayahuasca, Temazcal (sweat lodge) experience, and Bufo. I requested to extend my visit after my scheduled activities concluded and Sara was more than accommodating. The wildlife was fascinating. I loved watching the monkeys climbing around the property. The retreat is close to the airport, so very convenient. It's secluded but also accessible by Uber when and if you want to visit the beach. Rene was an excellent Shaman for Aya and Kambo. Sofia was very helpful with the Temazcal, yoga, and sound therapy. "

"I’m48 yeas young from The Bronx. I have been smoking weed for over 28 years. I was depressed overwhelmed with the chatter in my head.my brain was on overload. This place is exactly what I am looking for in my life. I wasn’t expecting the amount of love care gratitude and peace I receive from this tribe. They are all magical Lorena and David they sing they play live instruments. Her voice gives me chills and open my heart. Closest I have been to heaven hearing her sing. The yoga they did was just amazing. They took us to the cenote which is so beautiful refreshing. They are super friendly and do things with love 💕.Ester also sings beautifully.Gave us some delicious cacao. We shared dancing 💃🏻 and hope love and laughter. Marek a wonderful musician you can feel his music in your core such a wonderful gentleman. Luis reads the tarot card totally on point even read the card for my mother who was not able to attend m. Totally made my mom feel blessed and best advice she needed to hear from him. My favorite was his Singing 🎵 class he makes it so fun singing and dancing and laughing and moving around and not to mention he rocks the heck out of his guitar 🎸. He trained us well and brings the child out in me and the group.. Alicia we just love her she sings and dances the love and care that she gives us makes us feel special like family we cried we laughed we sang we dance we ate we shared stories. My sister for life. The best for last Arturo the spiritual doctor also known as the medicine man. He open my heart throat third eye and crown chakra . When he sings it’s so meaningful.

And plays that drum I have one now lol.He took his time to care for this circle gave us the best advice guidance the love that he has for his staff his people and us made us feel the love and gratitude peace he has inside shines just like the sun ☀️.

"Very beautiful inside and out, great translator, very accommodating and helpful for organizing the retreat and answering questions, super friendly and supportive "

"Very kind and patient, very peaceful and wise, calm spirit and strong soul. Great and humble person, very intentional and a good leader"

"This retreat will change your outlook and life for the better. The staff are so loving, friendly and helpful. The shaman is very wise and patient. They are so accommodating from the payment plans and transportation to and from the airport. The food is great, the chefs are accommodating as well to allergies or diets and it’s so healthy and good. The retreat center is so clean and peaceful. The ceremonies are so healing, for the mind body soul. The detox may be uncomfortable at first (vomit, throwing up) but it’s needed to cleanse the body and spirit and you feel 1000x better afterwards. The clarity I got from this retreat is like no other. The massages were amazing. The whole experience was amazing. The worst thing about it was the bugs and mosquitoes but even I can’t be mad at that because it’s in the jungle and that’s their home. If you ever have the chance to go here I promise it will be the best decision you make of your life and that is an understatement.❤️"

"Claudia was wonderful and very knowledgeable throughout the experience. I was definitely nervous at first but she explained everything and held space for me during the process. I experienced life changing healing and felt completely different after. Grateful I did it and am following up with her recommendations on Journaling and continuing my journey. "

"She is very loving, warm and transmits a lot confidence. Clau guided my process making me feel safe. After finishing the session, he offered me integration sessions after the bufo ceremony. I thought it was great to have subsequent support and possibilities to continue integrating medicine. I highly recommend it. "

"Many told me about trying bufo, at first I was afraid of the unknown. I was super recommended to go with Clau and it was really incredible how I felt accompanied, restrained and flowing in my own experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a wonderful experience."

"I have had the pleasure of having a few sessions with Claudia and I just have to say she is the absolute best. She literally will make you feel comfortable with her loving energy, she takes the time to explain, she always has the loving words to make you feel protected and she know just how to guide you in the right direction based on what you want from the experience. During my last bufo session with her I reacted a bit differently from the last one and got up and when I became conscious of it, I was confused but she was right there guiding me and brought me back safely. I honestly feel that she not only has experience but also a very caring personality that has helped through some of the issues I was dealing with. I feel that every session I have with her I accomplish a lot of healing and a lot of growing thanks to her guidance. I 100% have to say that it is not only the medicine that heals you but also who provides it for you, and she within herself is a healer. Thank you Claudia. I will be back! "

"Clau is beautiful loving medicine woman, she certainly is guided and makes you feel the love and protection, my experience was like no other my self being contained and nurture, it was an amazing experience where the medicine showed me I do not have to scape from my self I can surrender and feel. We all are supported in love! I really recommend Claudia and the messages the medicine has to give you. ❤️😘🌀💫"

"It was our first experience with both medicines. We held both sessions with Agustina. She welcomed us in a wonderful atmosphere and guided us through the ceremonies in an informative and open-hearted way. We are very grateful to her for our experience. Thank you !!!"

"This was an extremely well curated experience. The facilities, the staff, the food, all of it was exceptional. You can tell that the whole staff puts all of their love and effort behind you as you dive deeply inwards. As a veteran, I was able to let go of some things that I had long suppressed. Yes, this inward dive is challenging and difficult at times, but it was beyond worth it for me. My wife attended a retreat with a different facility and I wish this would’ve been her experience. I will always remember this journey and the lessons I’ve been given. I am beyond grateful"

"Arturo is beyond words to describe; he is more of a feeling. As one of the most peaceful, beautiful souls I have ever encountered, he exudes a serene and loving presence that permeates every ceremony. His deep wisdom, gentle guidance, and unwavering compassion create a sacred space where profound healing and transformation are possible. In his presence, I felt truly seen, supported, and understood. His dedication to Ayahuasca and healing medicines, and his genuine care for each participant make him an extraordinary healer and a true gift to all who are fortunate enough to experience his work. My journey was profoundly impacted by his beautiful soul, and I am eternally grateful for the transformative experience he facilitated. "

"Alicia plays an integral role at Xochipilli in ensuring the safety, integrity, and sanctity of the healing process. She has helped to create a nurturing and protected environment that allows participants to fully surrender to the transformative journey. Her deep wisdom of the process, unwavering presence, and compassionate guidance foster a space where profound healing and spiritual awakening occur. Alicia’s dedication to preserving the sacredness of each ceremony contributed significantly to the life-changing experiences and newfound joy that I left with. "

"I went into this retreat feeling numb and lost, yet with a knowing that it was EXACTLY what I had been missing that was making me feel so empty. And IT WAS EVERYTHING that my soul had been yearning for. During the first Kombo ceremony, I was able to purge all my childhood trauma (and it was A LOT). And in the multiple following Ayahuasca and Kombo ceremonies, and days to follow, I was then receiving a “download” of information; answers to questions that I had specifically asked, and an internal knowing that was unquestionable. By no means was this easy. It was actually one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done; mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausting. BUT I left a brand-new being; one that is spirit first, and I have had joy every single moment since (for the first time consistently in many years). For the rest of my life on earth, I will be recommending Xochipilli and its family of Ayahuasca practitioners and staff to anyone willing to listen. For the first time that I can even remember, I no longer feel trapped inside my body, wanting to step out. Xochipilli has forever become part of my family. "

"I'm so glad I was able to take this great opportunity to experience the magic of Ayahuasca and Temazcal! .. The Retreat was the best thing I lived in so many years.. the food, the "messages on the trip", the massage, the whole place, the friendly staff.. all of it was perfect! Thanks to Alicia, Arturo, David, Lorena, Luis and Malek for this unbelievable experience!"

"In all a very good experience. The facilities were very nice, clean and working. There was good food and beverages and a constant supply of water. Alicia was very clear in her organisation, coordination and direction, and her team were also very open, welcoming, approachable and clear. This allowed all of us to feel at ease in a new situation. Also sharing a room was a bit daunting though I really enjoyed it and felt trust in myself and roommate, we embraced the situation. The ayahuasca was treated with respect and care, so we all felt confident in taking it. I was very stuck in my defences so I took two cups. This was very strong though allowed me to work through from my mind into my body and then feel the euphoria and clarity of the ayahuasca free of the burdens I have been held by. It taught me the process of surrender from my mind through breathing in the body and I could see the need to prove myself to everyone, always explaining and how it is just an old defence that has been holding me. I have a new trust in what is true to me and what was learnt. All in all a very safe experience that has felt easy due to the care of the team. Thanks "

"Real cool spot FAR off the beaten path in a jungle area of Cancun. The two ladies were very nice and played great music and sang wonderfully, the medicine got us to the purge point but no farther for 3 out of the 4 of us even after 2 cups. Agustina then smoked some medicine with us 3 to give us a different path which gave us little bit off what we were looking for and are great full for that. "

"Sincere thanks for their work served with empathy and understanding Forever thankful, infinite blessings! "

"That was the most intense and at the same time most beautiful experience, really deepest thanks and respect to Adriana and Alfonso, I felt very familiar with them right away"

"Bufo experience was as advertised and Gabriel and Augustina were very accommodating and professional."

"In matters of the medicine it is essential to be in a good setting, supported by people that know what they are doing. I worked with Gabriel and Augustina and they know. I am deeply gratful for the time I spent with them. Thank you "

"This was my first experience with ayahuasca, kambo and temazcal. I felt truly cared for, nurtured and supported in every step of my journey, both by the staff and the wonderful participants, who were all returnees to Xochipilli. This retreat is truly family. Arturo is a deeply knowledgeable and passionate practitioner of ayahuasca and completely invested in those who seek the healing of this medicine. Alicia went above and beyond to insure that all my logistical needs were met and was present and supportive at every moment of the retreat. I can’t say enough about their commitment to each and every attendee that comes to Xochipilli. They don’t simply offer a product, but nurture and guide a community with love and service. I left with a heart full of gratitude. "

"I really appreciated the retreat, from the staff very accommodating and friendly and everyone’s working here in service to the Divine. Plenty love of community felt here. Beautiful space in the trees with pool. And beautiful surroundings "

"After my husband’s ADHD coach told him to send me on a vacation I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I had never felt called to do ayahuasca before but from that moment I knew I was being called. I picked Mamay Ayahuasca because a friend that I trust went there and has sent several people there. Alicia made the whole trip smooth and easy and she was available to answer my many questions before the retreat. She was also a very supportive person during the retreat. My whole experience was amazing and life changing and I didn’t want to leave when it was over. I walked in feeling numb after years of repressing my emotions. I walked out having been blown wide open emotionally. I released so much of my past trauma and stories and found the woman I was before I became a wife, mother, and invalid who was sick for 13 years. I healed myself physically from a brain injury and am healthy physically but I knew I needed to get healthy emotionally again too. This retreat did that for me. I’ve been home for 1.5 weeks but I’m still riding the high from the retreat. Being there was like being part of a loving family that wraps you in their arms, protects you, and guides you. Arturo, the Shaman, is a calm gentle knowing spirit and guide and is amazing just like all of the staff are. Thank you everyone. I look forward to coming back again soon."

"I think I'll start with the staff. Each one of them is so heart centered and one with their inner child. They are wise and nurturing, full of life. They really made the experience special for me. The food was splendid with wholesome ingredients, minimally processed and full of flavor. The location was gorgeous. From the aesthetic of the architecture to the vibrancy of the plants. The energy of the land was superb. The Aya ceremonies themselves were unreal and potent. Leaving with nothing but deep reverance for the entirety of the experience, medicine and people I connected with. "

"I was an amazing healing experience in the heart of Tulum’s lush jungle guided Agustina. Her and Angle’s energy transcends time, weaving ancient Mayan threads into the sunset ceremony. Melodic beats from Angle and perfect care made it so comfortable for the seekers. Together, they led us toward healing, whispering forgotten truths through nature’s embrace. We bathed in moonlight, merging with the earth’s pulse. Nature, our silent guide, witnessed our metamorphosis. To Augstina and Angle, infinite gratitude. Your retreat is a portal—a return to self. God bless you both. "

"Let me start by saying our session host Augustina was an absolute goddess of the earth I felt comfortable and safe from the moment we met. As for the Bofu experience it was life changing for me, I am 59 and I've never felt so connected with myself and the natural world. It was a total reset for my spirit. All I need do is put on my headphones play the ancient Mayan flute music and I'm transported back to the moment. I am forever grateful the experience will live in me forever. "
