"Joe was a fantastic guide for the psilocybin retreat that I attended. He was warm, welcoming and engaging. He took time to spend with me one to one prior to the ceremony to allay any apprehensions that I might of had, explain the format, what to expect and generally put me at ease so I was as relaxed and open as I could be ahead of the ceremony. He was incredibly personable and I felt that I came away from the experience having made a new friend in Joe. I would definitely like to return to another of Acsauhaya's retreats with Joe maybe to experience an Ayahuasca ceremony next time. Thank you for being you Joe 🙏"

Experiences on Retreat
"I had been wanting to take part in a Psilocybin ceremony for a while so chose my retreat carefully and from the reviews that I read and what I saw written online about Acsauhaya I was confident that they were a credible organisation. I wasn't disappointed, they treated the whole process from booking to the retreat itself with utmost professionalism. The ceremony was an amazing experience which I really enjoyed and it left me with sense of connectedness with myself and everything around me. I would highly recommend Acsauhaya to anyone who is considering a psilocybin experince - they will will look after you with the utmost care and you will be sure to have a transformative experience. Namaste x"
"Highly recommend, all around best retreat ever - so thankful, words can’t express how truly magical this place is 💕"
"I knew my time at the MexiSoul retreat would be profound, deep, difficult, and transformative, but I didn’t realize to what extent nor do I think I understood what those terms truly meant until the retreat was complete. To be honest, I’m still mulling it all over! I was blown away by the love of the staff and the love and mutual respect between the other attendees. Refreshingly, I never felt coerced or put on the spot or less than; there was no hint of any of the damaging social constructs we are surrounded with on a daily basis. It felt like I could truly breathe for the first time in a long time. Upon coming home, I realized I had gained back empathy for the world around me and felt a newfound appreciation for my life, my surroundings, and the universe. If you are at all interested in plant medicine or feel a tugging in your heart towards it, you owe yourself the opportunity to crack that door open and see what is waiting for you in the space beyond. There is no need to fear; you’ll have the best group of people holding and supporting you through each and every step. "
"In my opinion, what makes this place special are the people. Every single member of the staff is fully dedicated to the mission of making people feel safe and supported. Also, the approach that MexiSoul is taking with integration coaching is innovative in the retreat world.
I would definitely attend again."
"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 had a great time at the retreat. Everyone working there is very kind and supportive. When we all met we were strangers and when we all left, we were friends. "
"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 had an amazing journey with Siddiq. He hosted me with his thoughtful and caring partner Payton that cooked amazingly vegan herbal meals. Both made me safe and comfortable. I had a wonderful big room in this arty house in the mountains. The perfect landscape to connect with mushrooms. Siddiq hold the space respectfully with presence and gave me an amazing massage to relax and get into my trip. He was present all along to support whenever I had emotional moments. I highly recommend to be accompany by Siddiq !"
"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. "
"I recently had the privilege of participating in a session facilitated by Siddiq, and I must say it was a truly meaningful experience. From the moment I reached out to inquire about joining a psilocybin session, Siddiq was incredibly attentive and supportive. He took the time to address all my concerns and provided invaluable materials to help me prepare for the session, including a wealth of resources like videos, podcasts, and books. These resources served as a roadmap for further exploration and reflection, both before and after the session.
Upon arriving at the retreat, Siddiq made me feel completely at ease. He listened attentively to my apprehensions and took proactive steps to ensure my comfort. The relaxation exercises we engaged in beforehand were instrumental in calming my nerves and fostering a sense of acceptance.
Throughout the session, Siddiq was a steadfast presence, guiding me through each stage of the journey with compassion and expertise. His unwavering support, whether it was holding my hand during moments of fear or offering insightful suggestions when I felt lost, was truly invaluable. Even after the effects of the mushroom had subsided, Siddiq remained by my side, helping me process and integrate the experience.
The following day, we took a rejuvenating walk in the woods, allowing me to reconnect with nature and engage in meaningful conversation. Through it all, I came to a profound realization: individuals like Siddiq are the catalysts for healing in this world. His dedication, empathy, and wisdom have left an indelible mark on me, and for that, I am deeply grateful."
"Professional, safe and effective care! I highly recommend to all my friends and family!"
"The staffs and volunteers at MexiSoul are kind and knowledgeable. They are experienced with the ceremony, and they will take care of you with full attention and effort.
This is run by people who are genuinely driven by wanting to help people get the best out of the experience. They've seen many times how people can transform and heal through the experience. It was a very touching for me to witness as a participant, so I can understand how it can be fulfilling to them.
All participants in my group are extremely appreciative for what they've done for us. I can say with certainty that it's their service combined with the environment they maintained that gave me a truly transformative experience. I had to ask for special accommodations during the ceremonies because I had different reactions from the rest of the group, and they responded with full understanding and helped me set up everything I needed.
Thank you MexiSoul.

"Agustina was the perfect guide. Her home was warm, amazing and the perfect setting. She explained the treatment with fine detail allowing me to feel comfortable and ready to just let go. My experience was amazing and I would recommend Agustina to everyone without hesitation! Five stars! "
"Agustina was the perfect guide! Her home is amazing! I had a fantastic experience and would recommend her to everyone! ❤️"
"I had a lovely experience and valued the subtleties of the ayahuasca experience in an amazing setting with facilitator Agustina. As a 58 year old woman I enjoyed exploring and deepening my relationship with the great Mother earth. Many thanks!

"If you are looking for a luxury Mexican vacation while joining a large group of strangers for some ayahuasca ceremonies during which you are pressured to experience a “miracle,” Mexisoul isn’t the place for you.
BUT if you’re looking for a safe space with loving care from an attentive staff for your small cohort group during a week of intensive challenging work using various indigenous medicines and ceremonies to achieve new insights and perspective changes that will improve your life, Mexisoul is your place.
Away from the tourist vacation spots, Mexisoul offers a rural setting, utilizing a lovely working finca (farm) to create a basic, comfortable space for one to fully focus on the work of opening to the medicines. You will be interacting with a small, interesting group of guests with whom you will quickly bond as you step through the week together, and be constantly supported by caring staff and volunteers to make sure that you are getting what you need. Shaman Humberto will provide confident yet humble spiritual leadership during the plant medicine ceremonies in the beautiful Osho Hut, providing a safe container for your journeys. Sober helpers are present at each ceremony, providing needed assistance without intruding into your experience. You will be mesmerized by the absolutely fabulous live music during the ceremonies. You will be fed well during the week, with meals carefully planned to complement the ceremony timing. You will rest comfortably in one of the various guest rooms around the finca.
Ruger (COO) and Jamie (integration coach) – who are real approachable people, by the way! - are almost always available to assist you during the week, and managers Krista and Brenda make sure that everyone’s needs are being met. Integration is emphasized, recognizing that you will be moving back into “real life” after the special experience of retreat week – you won’t be dropped and left without support after returning home.
Mexisoul is where you want to go if you’re serious about your inner work. This place will hold you in love while you allow yourself to open to the plant medicines and the insights that they offer. I highly recommend the Mexisoul plant medicine retreat.

"I have been working with different plant medicines for about 5 years now and have been truly reaping the benefits of each ceremony I attend. With each experience I discover a deeper understanding of who I truly am, what my experiences have taught me and what I need to apply more attention to in my life. It has been enlightening, healing, transformative and heart opening.
In July I attended Mamay Ayahuasca for a one week retreat. The whole week was beautiful. Filled with different ceremonial experiences unlike any other retreat. The last ceremony I attended, the maloca was full of people. Mostly locals. This is the optional night of the retreat when outsiders are invited to share the medicine. It was actually my 40th birthday and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect way to celebrate. The medicine was strong this night. I followed my intuition and drank as much as I felt I needed. Laying on the grass, under the beautiful Mexican starry sky; my heart opened. It was visceral and intense but deeply pleasurable. In that moment I fell deeply in love with myself. I released all the shame and anger and resentments that had plagued me my whole life. I forgave everyone who ever hurt me. I forgave myself for the wrongs I had done to others and to myself. I saw perfection in everything. It was the most beautiful experience I had ever encountered and I can’t imagine anything topping that.
This was in July 2024. 8 months ago now. Im still basking in the afterglow. Not only do I feel that my Complex-ptsd symptoms have vastly improved, but in the weeks following the retreat I noticed my Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome symptoms diminish. After seeing a doctor and running some tests in December it was revealed that my Pcos had been cured! The doctors have no explanation for this. It’s believed that hormonal imbalances like this are often caused due to high stress hormones in early childhood development. Coming from a very traumatic childhood it made sense that I’d developed Pcos. I full heartedly believe by working with Ayahuasca at Mamay and feeling the LOVE from the faculty, healing my deeply embedded emotions, I gave my body permission to balance my chemistry. It really is magical!
I recently returned from a powerful two week retreat in the Peruvian Amazon at one of the worlds top tier Ayahuasca retreats. It was also incredible, healing and insightful. But nothing compares to the way my heart felt at Mamay. I am forever grateful for the warmth, compassion and opportunity. Life is such a special gift and I will always walk this path with an open heart thanks to my friends at Mamay. "
"
This retreat marked a pivotal moment in my journey. Engaging in my first ayahuasca ceremony, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the exceptional team that guided me. My apprehensions regarding safety were not only met but surpassed by the measures of this group.
Alicia stood as our beacon of love and strength, guiding us with her golden-hearted presence every step of the way. Her embodiment of love and compassion is hugely impressive.
Arturo, with his profound wisdom and nurturing spirit, serves as an inspiring mentor deeply committed to his calling. His genuine guidance and unwavering support were both uplifting and motivational.
The team's extraordinary commitment to service was evident through their relentless support during this significant transition. Their dedication to their work and their eagerness to assist in our transformative journey was out of the ordinary. The retreat itself radiates warmth, care, and empathy, making me feel immensely fortunate to have been part of such an extraordinary group. The entire experience was memorable, from the serene location to the attentive staff and the nutritious food provided.
The magic of this retreat has been a blessing and a life-changing experience. Words cannot describe the profound impact it had on me, and I highly recommend it to all seekers of safety, transformation, and growth.

"I just completed an enlightening 7 day journey of self discovery and spiritual exploration at Mexisoul.
First rate experience from start to finish - with a team of caring young guides from all over the world and an authentic & great Shaman, Humberto Alcala.
Didn't know exactly what to expect when I arrived, as I mostly relied on the many great reviews when I decided to book. I also had little experience with psychic medicines, so my mindset was to just, "trust the process."
Mexisoul didn't disappoint, It actually exceeded my skeptical expectations on every level. Whether you are trying to work through a trauma, break down a wall, overcome an addiction or are just trying to gain spiritual insight - the finca will probably deliver the experience that you are looking for.
This retreat was not easy - but very well worth it.
I might even return someday...
Most Highly Recommend! "
"This retreat is well thought out and Humberto is so masterful in the way he conducts ceremonies. My entire experience was positive - from the staff to the accommodations to the food - every day was exactly what I needed. I was able to gain peace and growth at such a profound level through the care an intention applied at MexiSoul. I felt safe, inspired, and supported through the retreat. It was my first retreat with plant medicine, and really my first retreat of any kind as an adult and I am so glad this was the one I chose to go with. I'll be back someday and in the meantime, I will be recommending Mexisoul to my friends and family. "

I recently had the privilege of attending a one-week retreat at Mexisoul, and I can confidently say it was one of the most impactful experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine care by the volunteers, manager, psychologist, and fellow participants.
The atmosphere at Mexisoul is truly special – it's a sanctuary of tranquility nestled in the heart of nature. The facilities are comfortable and thoughtfully designed, providing the perfect environment for reflection and self-discovery.
The food at Mexisoul was nothing short of excellent. Each meal was prepared with love and attention to detail, offering a delicious and nourishing experience that complemented the retreat perfectly. From hearty breakfasts to wholesome dinners, every dish was a delightful treat for the senses.
The accommodations were equally impressive. The rooms were cozy, clean, and tastefully decorated, providing a peaceful haven for rest and relaxation after a day of introspection and growth.
What truly sets Mexisoul apart, however, is the people. The volunteers went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the retreat was catered to our needs. Their dedication and compassion made me feel supported and encouraged throughout the entire journey.
I must also commend the manager Ruger, Brenda, and Krista for their exceptional leadership and organization. They ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without any distractions.
The presence of a psychologist Jamie added an extra layer of depth to the retreat. Their insights and guidance helped me navigate through my thoughts and emotions, leading to profound personal growth.
But perhaps the most rewarding aspect of my time at Mexisoul was the sense of community fostered within the group. Sharing this transformative journey with like-minded individuals made the experience even more enriching and memorable.
In conclusion, I am immensely grateful to have chosen Mexisoul for my retreat experience. It exceeded all my expectations and provided me with invaluable insights and tools for self-discovery and personal growth. If you're seeking a transformative retreat experience in a nurturing environment, look no further than Mexisoul. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to embark on a journey of self-discovery and inner healing."
"I've attended many retreats over the years and can honestly say this one is the best of them all. It felt like family. It was supportive, fun, open, expressive, sacred and spiritual. The wisdom and experience of everyone involved really shows. A month later and I miss them all! Words are not enough! "
"It’s been a month since my retreat and I am still feeling the power of this transformational experience. Alicia cultivates such a warm environment which nurtured & brought our group together as a true family. Arturo is so gentle and wise - I wish I had a 5 min daily podcast with his words of wisdom. Arturo and his team are pivotal to processing & integrating the lessons learnt after sitting with the medicine.
I went into the week being oblivious to how much work I needed to do. It was confronting at first, but was vital to flourish the days after. My biggest takeaway was connecting with my inner child - something I hadn’t realised I had lost 10+ years ago. This was such a valuable lesson, which now guides my every day decisions and has resulted in an abundance of joy. I really do hope for this medicine to touch the hearts of as many people as possible and for more experiences to be guided by Alicia and Arturo. I will without a doubt be back some time in the future. A 100% must do for anyone seeking a transformative experience. "
"From the moment I arrived I was made to feel very safe and welcome and that continued through the whole experience. Siddiq was a really safe and responsive facilitator and responded to whatever I needed throughout the session. He really is a pro. I would highly recommend for a beautiful, safe and lovely experience. I was made to feel so comfortable and safe through the whole journey, including the difficult parts. Enjoy your journey! :)
"
"My experience with Siddiq was great, he seemed very confident answering all my questions and definitely helped me feel comfortable with the whole experience- including preparation and the integration. He's very knowledgeable about working with mushrooms and all the current studies and was able to help me understand the benefits of psilocybin therapy. Really a great person to work with, thank you Siddiq! "
