Remi says, "What an experience! At all levels: - First the location: Tepatitlán is close to Guadalajara, a city that is easily accessible from most US cities - The retreat center is a wonderful place, a farm where horses, donkeys, cats, and dogs are roaming freely, at an altitude of 6,000 ft - The staff is knowledgeable, passionate and friendly - Humberto (the shaman) is amazing; I witnessed firsthand his ability to redirect energies when needed, which helps maximize the whole experience - During the retreat, we had the possibility to use several medicines that complement each other very well."

For me the entire retreat was well organised, offering activities which helped me bond with the rest of the group I was with so quickly, and also helped me personally look within - particularly with the holotropic breathwork session - and the ice bath showed me my courage."
