Find Authentic Retreats in Mexico

"The seven-day MexiSoul Retreat in Tepatitlán, Mexico, was an unforgettable experience—one that deepened my connection to myself, others, and the world around me. This being my third visit to MexiSoul Retreats, I can confidently say it was the most profound of them all. Every time I return, I’m struck by the magic of this place and the incredible transformation it inspires. The love and support I received from the entire MexiSoul team (Umberto, Ruger, Krista, Liberty, and many others) were truly heartwarming. From the moment I arrived, they created an atmosphere of safety and care that allowed me to open up fully to the experience. Their genuine kindness and dedication to each participant’s journey were evident in everything they did. I’m especially grateful for the food—wow! Each meal was a vibrant, flavorful celebration of Mexican culture, prepared with such care and creativity. It wasn’t just nourishment for the body but also for the soul. Every dish felt like an extension of the love that MexiSoul embodies. One of the most moving aspects of this retreat was the connection I felt with the other participants. It’s rare to experience such an instant bond with a group of people, but shortly after we arrived, we became a unit—a family of sorts. The shared vulnerability, laughter, and mutual encouragement created a unique and powerful dynamic that enriched the entire retreat. This MexiSoul Retreat was more than just a getaway—it was a healing journey and a profound reminder of the beauty of human connection. I left feeling deeply inspired, recharged, and grounded, and I am already looking forward to the next opportunity to return to this incredible sanctuary. My fourth visit will be soon. "

"I am so glad I found this retreat! Powerful, transformative, and incredibly supportive, I will definitely be back!"

"Words feel inadequate to capture the profound gratitude I hold for everyone at Mamay and Xochipilli. From the moment I arrived, I was embraced by an environment of love and empathy that made this retreat truly transformative. The team here is extraordinary. Arturo is a remarkable guide that made every moment feel safe and meaningful. He gently yet powerfully pushes you towards the edge of your comfort zone, opening doors to profound personal transformation. Alicia is truly the glue that binds the experience together, ensuring every detail flows seamlessly so you can focus entirely on your journey. Together with Esther, Lorena, David, Luis, and Marek, they've created something that feels both sacred and special - their dedication to service is evident in every interaction. They are all generous souls who have chosen to serve with their whole hearts. The ceremonies speak a language beyond words. The teachings and integration work are deeply moving, guiding you to face your shadows with courage and rediscover the brilliance you have within. Here, you are seen, heard, and held in a way that reconnects you with your truest self. I will carry this experience always, and I look forward to when our paths cross again. Until then, with boundless gratitude—thank you for being the light that you are. "

"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. "

"MexiSoul Retreats are held at the Finca. The Finca is absolutely beautiful. They say experience the magic of the Finca on MexiSoul's website, and magic is exactly how I would describe this place. The Osho is probably the most beautiful building I have ever seen, and I loved to meditate in there when it was not occupied. The Oracle was a very special place on the property as well- be sure to ask a question once inside to get an answer to your question. I found myself meditating in the Oracle or just sitting within it frequently. The nature and wildlife on the property definitely enhances the experience, as well as the pool, eating areas, hammocks, pond and so much more. The Finca will not disappoint and nor will the food. The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell so much care and love went into crafting these rich authentic Mexican dishes. The staff and volunteers at the Finca and MexiSoul are the most amazing people. They pour love into everything they do from how they care for you (and they do take exceptional care of you) to the very fine details, including presentation of the rooms and spaces to the food. It feels like a warm wrap of love. I honestly have not met a more loving group of people upon arrival to a new place. I am beyond grateful for these beautiful humans. As for the medicine, I had listened to my friends talk to me about the experience, and I had watched some videos and listened to some podcasts. I knew theoretically what I was going to experience over the course of the week. I was curious, but slightly hesitant and nervous. I was very frightened by Kambo because I was told they burn little dots into you to facilitate the medicine entering into your body. Umm, I hate being burned, but I am so glad I decided to face my fears. I asked them to place medicine on my hip and near my foot. I have had hip pain for years, have been in and out of physical therapy, and even had to have one hip replaced. I also had experienced plantar fasciitis. After the medicine I had two red streaks and some splotches that ran from my hip to my groin. These lines and splotches were where I always felt/feel pain. It has been over a week, and I am back to running, spinning and lifting and I still have no pain in my hip, or as a result of my plantar fasciitis. When it came time to do Kambo again I was ready and waiting to have my other hip done too. I am so grateful. During the second Kambo they had some other medicines we could try if we wanted. One was eye drops to clear up your eyes, nose drops for your immune system, and a spray for your mouth to heal your gut. I did them all and I am happy to say I don't have the few floaters in my eye that I use to have. As for Ayahuasca, Satori, and Buffo, after the first night of Ayahuasca I told my friend I was done. I was not going to do anything else and never again. She and Rugar told me that everyone says that after the first night. I asked my friend what she did, and she told me she showed up to take Satori. So, I did too. During that second ceremony, the Shaman, Humberto, said something that resonated with me, and I am so glad it did. He said the medicine builds upon itself over the course of the week to heal. So, I was all in. The last big medicine ceremony, besides Cacao, was Buffo. This is where I released what felt like 100s of years' worth of baggage and pain that I had been carrying. I went there with a question in my soul, and it was answered and released. I am lighter, so much more peaceful, show up unapologetically, and am forever grateful. What I learned is that each person's journey is different, and each journey is different, but if you are looking for a safe place to speed up your healing, I would highly recommend MexiSoul retreats. They even have a fabulous and highly trained integration coach to support you as you integrate your learnings and healing into your everyday life. They have thought of every detail, and in my experience, are open to learning and growing as well. I will definitely return. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers, as well as the courageous humans that traveled their own journeys alongside me. "

"My experiences at MexiSoul have been truly transformative, and it's challenging to fully express the benefits I've gained from my numerous visits. Each journey has been unique, contributing significantly to my well-being and personal growth. The staff and volunteers are incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, creating a safe space that allows you to fully embrace the powerful experiences that plant medicine offers. I always felt cared for and guided throughout the process. Humberto Alcala, the shaman, is a remarkable presence. His insights and wisdom are profound, yet he remains surprisingly humble. He emphasizes that he doesn’t solve our problems; instead, he empowers us to discover our own solutions. He provides the tools necessary for self-discovery and healing, which has been invaluable for my journey. I've learned countless lessons not only from Humberto but also from the other participants, volunteers, and staff. The sense of community and shared experience adds an enriching layer to the process. Overall, MexiSoul has been the most beneficial tool in my mental health journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking growth and healing."

"Liberty is not only a spectacular smart professional, but above all she is a human that provides you with the love and support needed to go through the week feeling you are not alone. And not only that, by being a psychiatrist she knows how to deal with one’s internal mental struggles with ease, she doesn’t solve life for you, she listens and helps you clarify and clear thoughts that allows one to fully understand and integrate what you just learnt. All this effortlessly and graciously. Liberty your expertise makes an already amazing magical and loving experience into something that positively changes one’s daily life. "

"Mexisoul has definitely changed my life. It’s a place where the love you receive allows you to use the tools you’re provided with, to see things different. The safest most loving place I’ve ever been to where people that you had never met before love you already just for being there. Thank you Ruger, Humberto, Krista, Liberty, Marina and the list just goes… forever grateful for this experience and looking forward to seeing you next time. "

"I am so blessed and grateful I was given the opportunity to experience Mexisoul. The place is absolutely beautiful with so much Love. The people here are Amazing!!! I strongly recommended this place for anyone needing a reset in their lives!!! The Love and Spiritual connection here is so hard to put into words, beyond anything g I have ever experienced before. I am so Grateful to God for allowing me to experience this place!! Thank you to everyone involved❤️"

"All the staff is very respectful. I have never been around people that carry such peace it spreads to the surrounding community. Thank you to all of them I love them all. A piece of me will forever be there. I’m healed and now I know my life purpose. Ayahuasca is the truth grandmother give you what you truly need. Even if you not sure she knows. if you are lost depressed broken hurt in need of something and not sure this is the place for you. Worth every penny don’t think twice. Everyone need plant medicine it’s the truth.. see you soon xoxox Zulee "

"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. I felt everything in my soul not to mention his voice I couldn’t believe how beautiful he sounds. 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 ☀️. When the heart breaks the heart shines when the heart shines the heart sings. Everything he told me is true he prepared me well to come back home. Even tho I now want to live with them and be with them every day. I have never in my life felt such peace such love such care. I will return this is my life now. Also the food is so pure and delicious the cook has magical hands 🙌🏻 and dinner was delicious and made with love. Even shasa is the protector dog makes you feel safe and guided. Zulee "

"For some context, I have been on multiple retreats around the globe, and have been to Mexisoul twice now. With a 3rd trip being planned for next year. I currently live in Denver, Colorado, US. This place and experience is hard to put words to, but I’ll try. It’s sort of a “when you know…you just know” type of place. The setting is absolutely gorgeous. It’s on multiple acres, surrounded by rolling hills of Agave farms. The Ranch itself has so much to explore and appreciate, both in terms of people and things to do. There is a swimming pool, gardens, horse and donkey stables, game room, pottery studio, massage, lake, yoga, hiking, and tons more. There are things you do with the retreat group, but then you have lots of down time to explore and do things at your leisure. In terms of ayahuasca and other plant medicine ceremonies, I 100% Felt safe, secure, cared for, and always a priority. There is a Shaman, ceremony attendants (think of them like “mothers” who go around making sure everyone has what they need and are cared for throughout the ceremonies), and the Integration therapist in attendance. The ceremonies are a special time and everyone’s experience is very unique and internal. That is the point. The people on staff and the absolutely gorgeous live traditional music are what elevates the experience in my opinion. What originally drew me to Mexisoul in the first place was a few things: 1. The affordable cost. Please don’t think you will take a hit on services, or experience, or staff or anything like that because the cost is more affordable than other places. I was worried about that at first. I think the location in a non-touristy place helps keep the cost low. Also, the owner and those who operate are not driven primarily by profit from what I can tell. They genuinely want to spread healing and provide a safe and loving Experience to those that come, and that seems to be their primary motivator. The second thing that drew me to Mexisoul Is the wide variety of offerings. It checked a lot of boxes for me. They offered two ayahuasca ceremonies, a DMT ceremony, a Bufo ceremony, a cacao ceremony, and Temescal ceremony, which is a traditional sweat lodge type of thing. All are optional but but there for you if you choose. Lastly, the small group size was an important factor. The healing and ceremonies are deeply personal and, for me, the smaller a group size, the more open and free I can feel. The first retreat absent to had 15, and the second had 12 I think. If you choose, You can make deep friendships in a short amount of time. Please keep in mind, Mexisoul is not a large, resort-style place. If those places are cities, Mexisoul is a village. For example, if you need something, say an extra towel, or some fruit to snack on, you don’t call them up and have them bring it to you (although I guess you could), instead you go to the kitchen area and just grab it yourself. And while you’re there you’ll say hi to the chef and thank her for a great meal the night before. It’s casual, it’s home-like, and the vibe is more like a big family than a big hotel. Mexisoul has my absolute highest recommendation."

"As a physician specializing in psychedelic medicines, I was curious to try the medicines in the DMT category for myself and gain an understanding of the plants, the culture and the use of shamanism to aid in healing. Mexisoul was absolutely perfect for this. I felt very safe at this retreat center which is just an hour ride from Guadalajara (they provide private transport), felt supported by the knowledgeable staff and Shaman, loved the intimacy of the small group, and loved the land and retreat center itself. I liked that multiple medicines were offered, at doses tailored to my comfort level, with opportunities to work with each medicine more than once. The maloca is BEYOND BEAUTIFUL which makes for a lovely ayahuasca experience mixed with live music and ample support throughout the entire journey. The rooms are very nice, the food is farm-to-table fresh and delicious, and there are included opportunities to ride horses, swim in the lake or pool, hike, do yoga, and get massages. I have returned to Mexisoul twice since my first visit, have taken friends and family, and plan to return again at some point. For me, it is less about the medicine and more about the whole healing experience including land, food, culture, and ceremony. It’s a beautiful place to be!! "

"Simply life changing. I can’t put into words how this experience and how mexisoul changed my life and changed the trajectory of my life. There is simply too much to text here. Life changing. Transformative. I felt safe and care for and the staff was amazing. Integration coach was amazing. Shaman was amazing. Other staff and volunteers were amazing. Dont miss out on this opportunity. Chris"

"It is a spiritual violation when an authority figure persistently behaves unethically, pushing someone away from their spiritual path into darkness. This is exactly what happened to me. Before I begin, consider that Mexisoul will ask you to leave a review or even record a testimony while you are still in a significantly altered state of mind. It might sound extreme, but they also tell you not to make any major decisions for at least two months—so leaving a biased review that might persuade a stranger to make a life-changing, potentially dangerous decision seems contradictory. People rely on reviews all the time. Wouldn't you want those reviews to come from sober individuals? I have attended three retreats, and this is the first time I feel compelled to leave a review—solely to keep you safe and to deter seekers like you from choosing Mexisoul. Note: it is NOT a compliment to Mexisoul that I have returned more than once. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Something isn’t working, and it’s not due to a lack of integration on my part. I implore you to do your research thoroughly. And I mean *thoroughly.* Please educate yourself on what it truly means for someone to call themselves a shaman versus a curandero, and then compare their credentials. Secondly, research what qualifications or specialized training a psychedelic integration coach should have to safely assist in a ceremony. Are they trained in trauma-informed care, for example? Should the general manager of the Finca be assisting in the ceremony? More importantly, should any of the staff members (excluding the "shaman") be under the influence during the ceremony when their role is to be of service? I actually had to tell the integration coach to please *not* take the medicine after she blurted out that she hadn’t made her decision yet. That is insane! Also, what would you like to imagine the resume of a Plant Medicine Retreat Director would look like? If you take anything from this review, I sincerely hope it’s this: specifically ask if there have been any accusations of unethical behavior involving the staff, including the "shaman." Ask when these incidents occurred and how they were handled. Request to see the written response. The last incident happened this summer, by the way, to my retreat sister, who has shared her experience publicly on this site. You deserve full disclosure. My experience was more subtle, as all of my ayahuasca journeys were grossly sexual in nature until I retreated to my room, where miraculously, they would entirely change into useful lessons. On a deeper level, what I experienced was spiritual incest due to the manipulation of the sacred relationship between the “shaman” (the patriarchal archetype) and myself, the vulnerable female participant. It is extremely personal subject to me, hence the depth of this violation. This is the most damaging and dangerous offense—the ultimate betrayal of the spiritual family dynamic, where there should be obvious, common-sense boundaries. I have been psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually damaged. I am currently in therapy with two therapists, one of whom is specifically trained in these matters. I have also started on an antidepressant. These experiences have caused endless rumination. I now feel anger (which is not a normal emotion for me) after spending so much time, money, and enduring unnecessary suffering. I'm worse off than I was before my first retreat. When I think about plant medicine now, I feel disgusted. I don't know if I will ever trust another shaman or retreat center again. I truly believed these people were my spiritual family, and it is heartbreaking. Our "sagrada familia" has been severed in two, with denial and leniency favored over evidence. Be very careful. When you hear them say, "trust the medicine," take pause and never give up your sovereignty. If you need help, demand it. I can attest to several times when I asked for help and was denied. I witnessed this happening to others as well. Do not trust the "shaman" to know which medications are safe to take alongside these substances. We sent photos of our medications (including all ingredients) to the "shaman" for review. He gave us the green light. However, after doing my own research later, I found that some were contraindicated. On that note, is it even safe to do DMT four days in a row? Experts say no. I was never comfortable with that, so I always sat out for one of the four days. Furthermore, the "shaman" will tell you that he takes on this role only for the ayahuasca ceremonies, not for the samadhi or bufo ceremonies. So, who is sanctifying, holding space, and protecting you? You might as well conduct your own ceremonies at home, minus the "shaman" acting as a DJ. The entire experience feels like a performance to me now. There is a serious lack of integrity and authenticity, starting at the top and trickling down to the volunteers. I can provide many examples that reveal this. A powerful psychedelic experience will be nothing but static unless it is grounded in firm, clear, pure, and unwavering ethical foundations that everyone believes in and practices. Sadly, this does not exist at Mexisoul. Do not drink their well water. Be alert to the farm animals as they let them roam freely sometimes. I was tackled and thrown down to the ground by one of the horses."

"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.❤️"

"Wow! This was my first ayahuasca retreat and I couldn't have selected a more safe and comforting retreat. The FINCA is an amazingly peaceful environment. Ruger and Krista are top tier! Humberto shamanic wisdom made the ceremonies a completely transformational experience. When I am ready to sit with Abuelita Aya again, I know where to come!!"

"Humberto is a wonderful Shaman! His caring nature, his gentle demeanor and his connection to spirit is undeniable. He creates a safe space during and after the plant medicine ceremonies and is always open to conversation. His desire for you to understand your place and connection to the medicine already residing inside you is sincere!"

"There are a few words that come to mind right away as I think of my time at Mexisoul and those words are Healing, Rewarding, Worthwhile, Affirmative and Loving! The entire Mexisoul team is full of love and only want the best for your overall health, wellness and growth. They will do everything they can to make your healing journey as comfortable as possible. Healing is a process that can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful but Mexisoul provides a loving and supportive environment conducive to that healing! Ruger, Humberto, Krista, Pedro and Diana will always have a very space place in my heart as they held a very special place in my healing! Thank you Mexisoul for everything!"

"Mexisould is a life-changing experience. As a solo woman traveler, I was initially apprehensive but returned the second time because of my beautiful experience. The place is excellent, the people are amazing, and there is so much beauty and love. I highly recommend Mexisoul, and I hope everyone gets to experience this magical place."

"I unfortunately can not recommend this shaman or anyone associated with him. I’m ashamed to say that I allowed him to take advantage of me in my most vulnerable state. He initiated a sexual relationship with me just a few days after I took medicine from him and after months of grooming me and making me think I was special. Please do your research before taking medicine from this man."

"I attended the August 2024 retreat at Mexisol, so this review is long overdue. It’s hard to put into words just how transformative this experience was; so, to help me find the words, I looked back at my journal, the pictures and videos… it has brought up so many amazing memories and emotions. In short… There is magic in this place and in its people… REAL magic! I can’t imagine a better program with more brilliant, insightful, talented, gifted and dedicated people in service to their calling. The ingeniously designed itinerary and the safe space they create while also giving you the tools & entertainment to make the most of your experience are exceptional. The property, accommodations and food were also amazing. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Mexisol; I left with an abundance of joy in my heart and continue to cherish it daily. I eagerly wait for the Universe to call me again to Mexisol and can’t wait to see what I learn next time. In long… While the Universe probably guides much of what happens at the Finca, everything seems planned to the last detail where you are never left wanting and get the exact messages & experiences you need to receive whether you were looking for them or not. I came to Mexisol as more of a curious explorer hoping that it would help confirm my path to pursue my calling. I got that and so much more healing than I ever expected. I learned so many things at the retreat… how to process, journal and integrate. How to meditate, breathe and to think exponentially more deeply. I put into practice being present, creating safe spaces, healing and projecting my love & support to others. I finally found my voice and felt safe being vulnerable in front of others. But I wouldn’t have had nearly the exceptional experience I had without the many people there that made it possible. From the “management” to the staff, from the volunteers to the grounds keepers and to the 15 other participants that made this experience so special to me… thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’d love to call them out each by name to thank them but will opt to recognize the following since it might help you make your decision on whether or not Mexisol is right for you… - The program is so intrinsically brilliant that even the 15 other participants, in which I was lucky enough to attend, felt hand picked just for me. And I hope I have made lifelong friends with each one of them. Thank you! - Ruger, your vision for what Mexisol is and what it will become is exceptional. You’re brilliant and absolutely on the right path to see your calling succeed… helping many, many, many people with what they need along their journeys. I trust you to bring good into the world. - Humberto, you are indeed a magical man. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect Shaman to help guide me on my path. Your meditations took me on a journey of discovering the vastness of the universe and the magnitude of my own little world. You have a gift I am glad you are sharing with all whom seek it. - Jamie (integration), Marina, Christa and all the other teachers who gave guidance & advice and taught meditations & breathing techniques… you are all so brilliant, wise and dedicated to your callings; you are vital to the success and uniqueness of this retreat. - The music, the singing and the dancing were instrumental (not sorry for the pun) in driving each of the experiences… there are no words to express the power and pure joy these talented performers conveyed. They take you on a journey that lifts the heart and brings tears to your eyes. I’m still humming the songs weeks later and get goosebumps when I share with friends and family. - The food was “simple” and delicious! Too good actually… the pre-retreat diet was a dedicated struggle for me, but the food there was so good it makes me think I can really enjoy eating healthy in my everyday life… and I have continued to do so… but would still really appreciate a Finca El Pendulo cookbook. - The accommodations were simple, clean and amazing! The property is beautiful and filled with magic. You can’t beat being woken up to the sound of horses and donkeys galloping past your room in the morning and watching them graze up-close during the day. The sound of those beautiful wolves howling as you go to sleep is so special too. - …I could go on, but it truly does need to be experienced to capture it all. We are all in process; learning to grow and deal with difficult things to help find or remember who we really are. This place and these unique, special people guide you along this path as they walk their own… sometimes leading by example when necessary but they also give you the freedom find your own path after giving you the tools. So when you are called to this experience, I can’t imagine a better place to go than Mexisol Retreats. Good luck on your journeys! "

"Jamie comes from a place of care for everyone. She is an integral part of the retreat and very knowledgeable. She is very passionate about what she does."

"Humberto is very genuine and authentic. He shares his personal experiences to show he is not better than anyone there. He knows how to connect and make everyone feel safe and comfortable."

"I absolutely loved everything about this retreat. The staff and volunteers, the energy, the food, and the activities were all great. Everything felt genuine and authentic. This was the best experience of my life."

"Hard to put into a concise review what a profoundly wonderful experience I had with MexiSoul at Finca El Péndulo. The care and level of detail the staff went to to ensure a meaningful, safe, comfortable and transformative experience here was truly incredible. I arrived as the harshest skeptic of any retreat like this and left a changed person. Will be back again and again and highly recommend to all other weary-but-curios folks out there who might be on the fence! Special shout out to Ruger for putting his heart and soul into this retreat and to Humberto and the musicians for forever opening my heart wide open."

"Jamie brings warmth, honesty and humor to the experience. She provides a safe space to share and be vulnerable and offers insights and tools for moving forward after going home. I’m so grateful to have had Jamie on this journey with me, she was key in anchoring me to the “world outside” and thinking about how my experience transform and shift in the future. "

"This was my first experience with plant medicine and I feel so grateful and blessed to have had Humberto as the guide through this journey. As a man he is humble, thoughtful and honest about his own journey. As a Shaman he is truly magical and powerful. Each moment during ceremonies felt like a revelation through music and words. I cannot envision anything more profound than the gift he gives through his service. "
