"My time at Samskara was by far one of the most transformative events I've had in this lifetime. Every little detail of this retreat was immaculate, from the amenities, the beautiful land, and the most beautiful collection of souls/staff members. This place feels like home, family, and love. The way they plan the week of activities and ceremonies to flow effortlessly, and comfortablely made this experience so much easier. The staff is always there for you, no matter what it is, they are so loving and understanding. They know how to make you dig deep in your soul, and provide all of the tools and wisdom for you to use to transform yourself from the inside out. I really cannot say enough great things about this place. It was there I met my true self and was shown my purpose and direction in life, and I cannot thank this team enough for hosting such a life changing experience. The knowledge and love gained here does not go to waste, it is being spread on everything I touch and its beautiful to see. I will be back to visit anytime Aya calls. xoxo

"I experienced so much in the 6 days that I was at this retreat. I feel like I am still integrating. Highly recommend this retreat. You not only sit in ceremony, you partake in may activities that help your retreat experience. I will be coming back for sure. "
"Definately a retreat you should experience! Anna was great! She was very welcoming, supportive and very organized. The staff, Lorena and David were incredible and helped me realize some things around relationships. Arturo was great, he is very kind and welcoming. I didnt expect to receive so much from this retreat. It is not like other places I have sat with the medicine. Highly recommend Samskara retreats. I am full of gratitude for the lessons ans healing. "
"I am still integrating this retreat! It was a great experience working with Ayahuasca. I had tried other plant medicines but this one really opened my heart to so much in my life. The most healing and transformational retreat I have been to. The staff is so loving, supportive and as soon as you walk into the space, you feel the safety of the container. My life is completely changed. I have so many tools and insights to work with and so grateful that Samskara offers post retreat integration support! That is important to me."
"I am still talking about my experience with everyone! This was my very first time sitting with Ayahuasca and Kambo and it was a very safe space and great experience. The staff is very experienced and supported us with so much love and compassion. A huge thank you to Samskara for organizing this retreat which flowed so smoothly. Arturo, Anna, Lorena and David are very attentive, kind and made my first time experience an unforgettable one. I was told that people come back 2 or 3 even 4 times and now I understand why. I will be coming back for sure and this time bringing all my friends with me!"
"The location, staff, shaman and organizers at Samskara are incredible! You can tell they have been doing this for a very long time. Very professional, kind, helpful and their ability to hold space was absolutely amazing! The location is like a little slice of heaven. The lush, green jungle and the sounds of the jungle, made each ceremony that much more special.
The accommodations have air conditioning and are clean. The food was very fresh and you could tell it was prepared with love.
Upon arrival at Cancun Airport, they had a driver waiting to take me to the location. The ride is only about 25 minutes from the airport which is very convenient.
All the extra bonuses you get with Samskara, really make it worth it. The Cacao ceremony, the Temazcal, the extra activities and an amazing massage! The pool is really nice too!
The music that is played during ceremony was out of this world. This really allowed me to go deep and have such a powerful experience. I could go on and on about this experience and about Samskara! I'm so grateful to have finally found a place that takes deep inner healing and plant medicine seriously! 10/10 Stars!!
Thank you Samskara!

"I have participated in several plant ceremony retreats in different parts of the world. Those experiences were very powerful but I felt there was something lacking in the energy of those spaces. I'm not sure if it was the Shamans, the accommodations, the other activities available, or the medicine itself.
My experience with Samskara Retreats was , by far, the most POWERFUL and most life changing experience I could have ever asked for. The flow and schedule of this retreat is put together so perfectly, thanks to Anna! With the optional Kambo, the Temazcal, the group activities, or the massages, everything was amazing. There was a lot of thought and planning put into how this retreat is laid out. Plant medicine ceremonies are really about the ENTIRE experience. This is truly a profound experience, due to how the retreat is planned out for the week.
You can really feel that the Shaman (Arturo) and staff at this retreat are connected to the medicine and are there to serve others in the healing process. They go the extra mile to make sure everyone is taken care of and that the space is very safe and comfortable. I could really tell that they have been doing this work for a long time. Anna's support from start to finish was so helpful! There were many details to this experience that really made the difference for me. The diverse music played during ceremony was absolutely incredible! The rooms all had very good air conditioning and were very clean. You could tell that the organic, clean, food was prepared with a lot of love and care! The pool was really nice too!
It was really great how this retreat is in the jungle and yet so easily accessible from the Cancun airport. Maybe a 25 minute drive. When I arrived at the airport, they had someone waiting there to take me to the retreat.
Being in the jungle, you really get to take in your surroundings and feel the energy around you, especially while in ceremony! What a slice of heaven!
To see all the participant's transformations from start to finish was such a blessing for me! At the conclusion of the retreat, every participant there looked 10 years younger! They were so full of love and joy! If you are looking to feel alive again, looking to heal and looking to connect to your self and others, look no further than the Samskara Ayahuasca Retreat!
-Blessings & Love to you all! AHO!

"Doing the retreat with Samskara is definitely in the top 3 things I’ve ever done. The location and retreat facilities are beautiful and Anna and Alicia provided so much for our group. One special callout is their ability to translate everything that’s happening from Spanish to English on the fly (since our group was mixed Spanish/English) speakers.
I will say that the start of the week was more difficult for me than I had expected. Anna, Arturo and the other people on retreat really helped guide me through it though and the second half of the week was just fantastic. And you know what they say “No pain, no gain”"
"For those of you who wish to try Ayuasca because you think it is a fun experience. I highly recommend you rethink it. For those of you who are doing the inner work and wish to accelerate, this is the right place! This retreat is a safe space for you to go through what comes up as part of your inner work for you. Every aspect of the retreat feels homely and exudes love and care, be it the shamans, the food, or the environment. I highly recommend this place!"
"I was able to experience a 6-days/5-nights retreat at Samskara, which was an awesome experience definitely worth trying. Among all the retreat options in Mexico, this one was highly recommended to me, and I'm really happy to have chosen this one over others. I was part of a rather large group, still I felt a family-like vibe throughout the week, all staff was very thoughtful and respectful towards the participants. I liked the design of the program which allowed us to slowly ease into the experience and experience an individual, yet common journey. "
"Overall an amazing experience. The facilities were lovely, the process itself was tough but deeply meaningful, and the staff and facilitators absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend "
"Shanon was a great facilitator the strategies were pragmatic and enough to digest for 3 hours online. Kim's yoga and meditation were amazing and the people who attended all helped with positive energy. Makes me want to attend a physical retreat. This was the perfect reset for me in my stage of personal and professional transition."
"I have known Shannon Jamail, owner of Mind & Body Complete for several years. I find her to be one of the most giving, compassionate, aware, and, curious people I know. She brings that mindset to all of her retreats. I have attended several yoga retreats in the last 15 years and I continue to be pulled to Shannon's. The destinations are amazing from the desert in a tent, to a beautiful house near a vineyard to a beach house on the ocean to my own living room. Shannon partners with amazing women to create an experience focused on movement, meditation, feeding the physical body, mind, and soul, connection to the collective and some remarkable women. If you choose to allow it, this experience will inevitability create positive change in your world when you leave. I have made lifelong friendships I am forever grateful for. Thank you, Shannon and Mind & Body Complete."
"I attended a retreat in Santa Rosa Beach FL. It was absolutely amazing!! Shannon is such a beautiful and generous soul, she ensured all of my expectations were exceeded. The beach house was beautiful, the food was out of this world amazing, the yoga and wine were perfection...and the women I met were some of the most amazing goddesses I've had the privilege to know. I highly recommend investing in your own wellness and attending one of Shannon's retreats!!"
"If you are considering joining Shannon for a Mind & Body Complete retreat, DO IT! Let this be the "sign" you've been waiting for. You are here for a reason. You are reading this review for a reason. You are on the right path!
I wholeheartedly believe that the right people for you to connect with (including Shannon with her inspirational, REAL and generous energy) will be waiting for you at this retreat! You will have the opportunity to BOND and create powerful friendships that last far beyond the few days you'll spend together.
While there is time for connection, you'll also find time to TUNE IN.
Shannon creates a peaceful space and you'll have the opportunity to DISconnect from everyday stresses like social media, your phone, your email... etc. to the extent that you choose. Shannon's thoughtful and capable team handle all the details of your retreat so that you're able to RELAX.
Lastly, you'll find many opportunities to REPROGRAM. Shannon is a expert in her field and a thought leader. She is devoted to self development and she can help bring awareness to any thoughts or habits you're holding on to that are not serving you. It's easy to reflect and reprogram with Shannon because her work is so rooted in LOVE and she completely lacks judgement. You're accepted exactly as you are! But if you choose to seek improvement, it's there waiting for you.
Jump in! Sign up! Enjoy!
With Gratitude,

"Words cannot do justice to the experience I had when attending retreats with Shannon Jamail at Mindy & Body Complete. Shannon does an amazing job creating a loving, non-judgemental environment for women to dream, plan and reach their full potential. Choosing love over fear is Shannon's mantra that she lives by. The locations are amazing from nature retreats in the desert to relaxation in wine country to blissfulness at the beach you cannot make a bad location choice. The women who attend these retreats become long lasting tribe sisters. If you are ready to invest in yourself and be the change you want to see in the world book a retreat with Shannon and team."
"I absolutely love Mind & Body Complete retreats with Shannon and her team! Yoga and wine are two of my favorite things, however that is such a small piece of what I’ve gained from these experiences. I’ve attended two of Shannon’s retreats in different locations of California, and didn’t know a single person when I walked in the door for the first time. Although I came not knowing anyone, I left with lifelong friendships, incredible memories, and a heart full of gratitude. The connections you make on these retreats are indescribable. I learned how to meditate, went for walks in beautiful nature settings, and truly felt God’s presence. The peacefulness was totally needed for my generally anxious self. I love these retreats so much, I’m already signed up for next year!"
"I've done three Destin, FL retreats with Mind & Body. The Destin area is beautiful. The women I've met and friendships I have forged are dear to my heart. I deepen my meditation and yoga practice with each retreat. I come away feeling refreshed and reset. I highly reccomend Mind & Body Complete!"
