Experiences on Retreat
"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. "
"I’ve been back from the Finca for about 3 weeks and I’m still continuing to process the joy and love that I felt during my retreat. The Finca is a magical healing resort, an energy that you feel instantly upon arrival. The staff and volunteers put such an effort into making sure everyone feels safe and taken care of.
My room was in the tower above the kitchen, it was so peaceful and had a beautiful view. The grounds are enchanting with beautiful landscaping, exotic trees/plants and different animals throughout.
All of the ceremonies are beautiful in their own way. Humberto, the shaman is kind, knowledgeable and also funny :) I felt in good hands with him. Jamie, the integration therapist, was such an important part of my week. She helped me understand so much about myself, she gave me such a security of feeling safe and I truly love her. Brenda and Krista are angels. All of the volunteers, Valter, Lorena and Alan were so helpful and always there when you needed them. I’m so thankful to Ruger for creating this safe space for healing.
The music was amazing! The musicians Hector and Alex are mezmorizing, they are so talented and always seemed to start playing in the perfect moments.
Something that I hadn’t expected was to fall in love with all of the people. We became an instant family. We laughed and cried together, we danced together…we healed together. It was truly beautiful.
This was one of the most important weeks of my life. I couldn’t recommend Mexisoul highly enough. It is truly magic.
Aho "
"Firstly, thank you so much to the entire team at Xochipilli and a very special shout out to Alicia, Arturo, Esther, Louise, David and Lorena for making the experience one of the most incredible and rewarding weeks of my life!
I researched retreats for hours and what lead me to my final decision was the authenticity that shone through on my call with Alicia. ❤️
We started the week with a cacao ceremony, getting to know each other and opening up the energy of the space. Esther was so generous and even showed us how to make the ceremonial cacao 🙏 all of these extra healing modalities like integration, movement, voice classes, temazcal were amazing and made the journey so special.
The three ceremonies for ayahuasca were all SO different and I am so glad we got to do 3.
The first ceremony showed me how big my ego was and how much I battle with the negative voice in my head, the second ceremony connected me with my inner child and the universe, and the third ceremony was the most insane experience of my life - I purged what felt like an entire lifetime of sadness and grief, it poured out of me, and i was able to heal my heart and release a lot of deep trauma. Tears that I don’t think I ever would have cried in my life, had they not been unlocked by Mother Aya and this experience. Thank you to all that supported me through this process.
Arturo's wisdom and connection with the Shipibo tribe reassured us of the medicine's integrity and I learnt so much about plant medicines from him.
I left this retreat with brighter skin, brighter eyes, a lighter soul and a more open heart. It’s been 3 weeks now since I finished the retreat and I am feeling awesome.
I didn’t expect there to be so much love the entire week and to feel like we were one big family!
Thank you again to the entire team 🙏
PS I found it really helpful to come the night before starting the retreat to relax✌️ "
"Arturo was an amazing leader with a strong connection and relationship with plant medicine and the jungle. In every ceremony and sharing circle, he held sacred space from a place of authencity, being humble, listening with his heart not his mind, and kindness. His intentionality spread in ceremony with his songs, his instruments, his stories, his knowledge and wisdom. He is truly a great soul and ceremonalist leader. Gracias for all your teachings!!!"
"Alicia is the piece of the puzzle that pulls everything together. She truly takes care of every participant with their own individual needs on all levels. She has a big heart with the goal of being supportive for each one of us while maintaining such a beautiful sense of integrity & love. She shared her experiences & wisdom at the right time & place. She works hard throughout the retreat, especially, in all the translation she does from Spanish to English. This is another aspect that brings your experience deeper & closer to your heart. An understanding of what is taught was a key to my journey. She wasn't alone... Her team who helped her make this happen were equally fantastic!!! I can say that they became my new tribe, my new Mexican family. Everything the team did was out of love, authenticity, passion & love. Everything fitted so perfectly like a jigsaw puzzle. My heart felt so vulnerable and filled with love to share and truly be in the moment with these beautiful souls, hence, the deep healing I did experience on my journey. Muchas gracias to every single one of you. You will be forever in my heart, always remembering my experiences. Love you all!!!"
"I was blessed and grateful to have participated in this magical retreat of plant & animal sacred medicine. The structure of the retreat was outstanding as it provided sufficient time for meaningful activities that supported our integration process (after sitting with sacred plant medicine). These activities helped to explore & discover oneself even a little deeper. There was also enough time for yourself to be reflective on your
experiences during the process. We were fed quality, homemade & delicious food! The location of the retreat was perfectly located just outside of Cancun in the heart of the jungle. If you ever wanted to explore, discover & heal your inner being, I couldn't think of a better centre to attain this experience. It will change your life forever. Thank you to everyone who made this a magical experience!"
"I had an excellent experience at the Acsauhaya retreat center. The guides are top-notch—very knowledgeable and supportive. The retreat's location is beautiful, surrounded by peaceful nature, which adds a lot to the overall experience.
The ceremonies took place in a yurt, which provided a unique and memorable setting that I won't forget. The house we stayed in was very comfortable and well-equipped. The live music was fantastic, and it helped enhance the atmosphere and the overall experience. The food was also great, offering delicious and nourishing meals that complemented the retreat's holistic approach, especially the mushroom soup, which was just... wholesome.
I definitely recommend Acsauhaya to anyone looking for a well-organized, enriching retreat experience. The combination of great guides, beautiful surroundings, unique ceremony settings, amazing live music, delicious food, and comfortable accommodations makes it a standout choice.

"Shurandy stands out as an exceptional guide in the realm of psychedelic ceremonies. His kindness and extensive knowledge create a welcoming and safe atmosphere for exploration and growth. What truly sets Shurandy apart is his unwavering support and presence. Throughout the ceremony, he ensures that you feel seen and supported, providing reassurance and guidance exactly when you need it the most. His ability to foster a space of trust and openness makes the journey not only transformative but also deeply healing.
I can't recommend Shurandy highly enough for anyone looking to explore psilocybin with a guide who genuinely cares about the group's well-being and spiritual journey.

"What an eye opening experience. I wasn't sure to expect. Coming here made all the difference. From the grounds, to the people helping around the property, to all the coordinators and facilitators that made this possible. Not only was this an amazing experience, but one that I will hold onto and remember for the rest of my life. THANK YOU for helping me with everything. Words can not begin to desribe the tranformative experience I partook in here. I will continue to use the tools in my day to day life. I plan on coming back in the future! "
"Arturo is still in his 30s but has somehow managed to walk through many experiences in life and emerged a humble, wise man. When he holds ceremony, he is surrounded by so many loving ancestors. His drum echoes with the sound of the sacred valley and his harp tones with the laughter of the jungle spirits. His integrity and humility allow these spirits to speak clearly into the ceremony space. He is capable and trustworthy; you will be happy you shared space with him."
"Dear Alicia is a gem in the sacred medicine space. She is like a sister, a wise elder, a singer, translator, and business person extraordinaire. I am not sure which angels worked together to create such a solid human being but I certainly cannot express enough her poise, humor, confidence and professionalism. Whatever your situation, she will ensure you leave the experience deeply transformed and satisfied. Gratitude!"
"I think booking this retreat was one of the most smartest decision I made recently. I’m very thankful to Tapovan for providing such a great passage to ayahasca experience. He and his team made this retreat very well organized, safe, and interesting. They provided everything that was promised and expected. Food was awesome!
If you’re looking to tap into ayahasca experience, look no more, these are the guys to go to ! "
"This is not my first experience here with plant medicine but my first full retreat at Mexisoul and it was so much more than I could have hoped for.
The Finca quickly feels like home, the staff become friends and the participants become family. A family you never knew you wanted, let alone needed.
My experiences on medicine were all beautiful in their own way, the guidance I received from the staff and volunteers was tailored to my emotions in any given moment. The care and respect they showed me enabled me to have a journey without limits. A journey where I was safe to cry; or dance alone; or sing and shout out random phases and words. An exceptional journey where I could work on me, without the interference of all the noises and distractions of my human life.
Thank you Krista, Brenda and Jamie for your love and safety. Thank you Humberto for sharing this wonderful medicine with me, thank you Ruger for creating such an event and for the honesty of your experiences.
Gracious, gracious, gracious Zu para la comida deliciosa siempre una gran comida!
Gracias Alex and Héctor para la música, es muy emocional y siempre me ayuda en mi viaje. Camilla se extrañaba tu voz y presencia, hasta la próxima hermana.
My room was prefect, the escape I needed for some reflection. One of many sanctuaries if alone time is needed:
Rest by the pool
Chill in a hammock
Snooze on the grass near the Osho
Meditate by the lake
Being surrounded by nature helped me to connect and ground myself when needed. The morning welcome from the cats was lovely, thank you for the fur cuddles.
I could not think of a better place to embark on or continue in your journey or self discovery or development. I could not recommend another team more to help heal trauma and navigate the path ahead.
Gracias a todos"
"I had an amazing experience. Not only experience from the plant medicines, but from everyone involved. The shaman Humberto is a kind and gentle man. Full of wisdom, knowledge and compassion. Jamie is a wonderful therapist for integration and help me tremendously with her experience, outlook and her contagious laugh. Ruger and the staff and all the volunteers made me and the others feel safe and cared for. The finca is great with lots of grounds to walk and horses and dogs to pet. I will probably be returning next year as I found the right retreat center for me."
"I'm not usually someone that writes reviews but when you have such a wonderful beautiful experience how can I not! The Acsauhaya team are fantastic, they are not only loving, caring and supportive but also experienced, knowledgeable and professional. If you want the best therapeutic outcome you need to trust in your environment and your guides, that is what you get and more with Acsauhaya. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you for my experience, I know my path has been changed forever."
"When I was called to Ayahuasca, Mamay was the perfect retreat at the perfect time. Xochipilli was beautiful, accommodations were clean and comfortable, the food was delicious, and Alicia, Arturo, and all those involved made me feel welcomed and safe. The medicine and ceremonies were transformative, and I appreciate the integration incorporated into the experience. I look forward to returning in the future!"
"Attended 5 day Entheo-Getaway Mayan Jungle retreat in Puerto Murelos, MX. It was my 1st experience with plant medicine treatment including: Temazcal, Ayahuasca, Kambo. I'm still processing my magical time there but I can honestly say it was well worth it. I've felt notable improvements with anxiety and overall outlook on life. Gabriel was an amazing guide! The Eco Lodge was majestic and the staff very accommodating. Be prepared to fast quite a bit during your stay and just come with an open mind. "
