About this Retreat
Joel Brierre is the Founder and CEO of the psychedelic wellness companies Kaivalya Kollectiv and Tandava Retreats, as well as co-founder of the 5-MeO-DMT education and training platform F.I.V.E.. Joel has been a leader in the modern psychedelic movement for years, specifically in the realm of 5-MeO-DMT and has tirelessly worked to create safe and effective protocols around this molecule. With a passion for preparation and integration, Joel and his team are involved in everything from clinical research and trainings to experiential retreats in Mexico and Jamaica.
Joel works specifically in the retreat setting and with over a decade of experience, has curated a container that is meant to facilitate lasting change. Drawing from a combination of eastern, as well as neurofeedback, and other contemporary western integrative practices, these retreats give participants a space to safely unfold, address trauma, undergo cathartic release, and have the support system to to hold them through the whole process. With a heavy focus on integration and aftercare, participants are able to create lasting change and find deeper states of peace than they thought conceivable.
Specializing in 5-MeO-DMT, Victoria has dedicated her path to cultivating safe and effective approaches to working with the molecule. After being immersed in the psychedelic space for well over a decade honoring her own path, Victoria stepped into the role of medicine facilitator where she chose to work primarily with 5-MeO-DMT. After immersing herself in the 5-MeO community and multiple trainings, she began her work as retreat leader at Tandava Retreats in Mexico.
Understanding the importance of integration, Victoria works as a trained integration specialist supporting her participants in getting the absolute most out of their experience. Using Jospeh Campbells Hero’s Journey as a geographical lens in her work, she supports participants in moving into their own innermost workings during their preparation, navigation and integration phases of their container. In addition she is also a Kambo practitioner.
Victoria currently serves as president and co-founder of F.I.V.E (5-MeO-DMT Information and Vital Education), which aims to promote harm reduction within the psychedelic community. Her mission at F.I.V.E is to provide the world with a centralized hub for all resources and education on 5-MeO-DMT, in hopes of bringing awareness to the ethics, integrity, and safety of 5-MeO-DMT. Her dedication to her craft earned her a position with the international psychedelic wellness company Kaivalya Kollectiv, where she works as both the head of education and a retreat leader, applying all she has learned over her years.
Details of this retreat
For those in a process of healing or seeking a deeper connection with their inner world, the Inhale retreat offers a more private approach. Honoring the unique unfolding of each individual’s process, these retreats help to retune our internal compass, reimagining how we would like to experience our external reality.
To ensure a safe foundation, an Inhale retreat begins with medical and psychological screening, from there we begin your preparatory process through a series of journaling prompts and zoom calls. The preparation calls you will have a chance to get to know your facilitators, establishing a relationship founded on trust and openness.
While onsite you will only be joined by a max of five other participants, your sessions with the molecule will be private, as well as your daily integration sessions. Various group activities will help to foster a sense of community and in your downtime you can choose to connect with your fellow attendees, or take time to yourself in introspective reflection in the sauna. All workshops and activities during the retreat are designed to nurture the state of neuroplasticity, literally forming new neural pathways towards your intention.
Life lasting change is one of the main goals of this work, to assist in making this a reality each participant is assigned their own integration specialist from our team, your specialist will be selected based on your unique process and their skillsets. You will work with your specialist for 4 weeks after your retreat and will have the option to continue further if you desire.

Exactly what i needed.
I attended the retreat to help with PTSD symptoms and other mental health issues. I am a military women veterans and ordinary treatment do not work for me. I am what they would call treatment resistant. I have delved into ayahuaka many times before, which helped a lot with some aspects of my traumas and was very helpful, but i was called to this medicine (retreat) because i knew there were some parts of me that were just very prominent in my everyday life such as my identity- ego.
Joel and Victoria (facilitators), were a key point to my success during the retreat, they both are very knowledgeable but above that, they ensure that you do the work, they guide you when in times of crisis but do not try to input there experience or push there opinions of you. They just say it like it is, as it a individual journey.
I am so very thankful that i decided to attend this retreat, with the teams. They are behold amazing. I received two calls, prior to the week retreat. During the retreat, the facilitator explain the process and take a one on one approach if needed by the participant. But the most amazing is that they do not force anything onto you, i was only able to take the medecine the first day, the second day, i was just unable to take it as my experience was very difficult and had many réactivation. But for the second day, medecine sessions they supported me, with meditation.
I would recommend this retreat for those who are looking for healing, for a specific safe environment, were you can fully let go.
The space was very clean, with a small group of three candidates. The space was perfect for this kind of experience. For myself, unlike everything i have read, my experience with the medecine was extremely difficult, i did not experience the blissfullness as often described during the ceremony. I experienced, exactly what my soul needed me to experience. I was dying over and over again, but the facilitators were present and keeping a safe space for me, with both feminine and masculine energy.

At peace
This was the most powerful experience I ever had with pyschedelics, or with anything else for that matter. Tandava's beautiful hosts, Joel and Victoria, made me feel safe to have that experience and the setting of the retreat is magical. Add Otto's gentle and insightful integration approach and Luis' heavenly cooking and there is nothing more you could want from a retreat like this. I went home feeling at peace with myself for the first time in a long time.
