Due to focus on building our retreat center, we have not released any new dates for 2024. Please stay tuned and join our mailing list for the opening of our new center and an expanded offering of retreats. Thank you!
Since the Mayans roamed these sacred lands, Tulum has been a destination for transformation; a place of real magic and beauty. We chose a specific location in Tulum, a breathtaking private beachfront property in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere region as a powerful vortex for healing. This bohemian paradise will allow you to take in all the medicine that nature has to offer, while having the space to reflect and relax.
the medicines
We will connect to the ancient wisdom of these sacred lands for an unforgettable experience that includes 3 sacred medicines from Mexico:
Sonoran Desert toad medicine (5-MeO-DMT) via 3 individualized, one-to-one sessions
Temazcal sweat lodge ceremony
Cocoa ceremony held in the Mayan tradition
We will share in the sacred songs of the Temazcal, as its medicine penetrates the trauma stored in our bodies and burns them in the fire. We will surrender as we breathe in the vapors of the Bufo Alvarius toad medicine, and as we dissolve into infinite oneness, we will remember our connection to the web of life.
Food is medicine, and during this powerful week your body will be nourished with high-vibe, ethically-sourced cuisine. Our menu is gluten free, and dietary accommodations can be made.
Retreat Program
We will set the stage for this journey with a heart-opening Mayan cocoa ceremony. The next three days are dedicated to purification, using the Temazcal sweat lodge, healing bodywork, and sessions with the powerful Sonoran Desert toad medicine (5-MeO-DMT). This medicine has historical support in being used as a sacrament by the Mayans in ancient rituals.
We will integrate with daily embodiment practices, delicious plant-based detoxifying foods, massage treatments, and visits to the Mayan ruins and a local cenote. All attendees will receive pre- and post-integration sessions over the phone or Skype to help integrate the experience.
location
Connection with nature is essential to integration, and we will take full advantage of the beautiful surroundings. We will swim in the spectacular cenotes and connect with the sacred wisdom of the Mayan ruins. The location of the retreat is on a private beachfront property in the 780,000 acre Sian Ka’an nature preserve, which is a UNESCO Wold Heritage Site.
Accommodations
All accommodations are designed with the intention of being in respect of and in alignment with the preservation of this precious eco-reserve.
The accommodation options are as follows:
