Amazing Experience
I met up with Renee and did the Xanga. I was not sure what to expect, but it was better than I could have hoped for. Renee was thoughtful, and led me through the experience with ease. I would go back just for him.

Beautiful Experience
My 5-day retreat was beautiful in every way. The location in the jungle was quiet with nature sounds in the mosquito netted structure. No AC but breezes and shade trees as well as a fan helped keep the summer heat comfortable.
I especially loved soaking in the fresh water cenote just a short walk from the cabin. I had it all to myself most days.
I was a woman traveling alone and doing most my ceremonies alone. Rene made me feel safe.
Rene is an especially gifted healer with a vast knowledge of sound therapies and plant medicine.
I know I’ll return someday.

Ceremony
I had a great experience. René has a way of making you feel safe. I thought he was talented, knowledgeable and we got to do small recaps of the end ceremonies each night which really help me get settled in for the night. The medicine itself is amazing. There really are no words to describe what happens when you connect with Mother. The way she brings you to these places youve been avoiding and saying focus here my love. And its like youre abundantly aware this pattern is a problem and its waiting on you to fix it. Waiting on you to accept it and be gentle with yourself. I definitely got to embrace one of my biggest fears with love and kindness. The instruments René played really helped connect to spirit. He had this one chime instrument that I swear transported me to another life. All of the instruments did honestly. Different parts of my life. It wasnt like a dream but more like memories I had long forgot. I dont have the words to describe the way it feels to have those memores again. Besides deeply grateful. The medicine is gentle so if you think youre not ready thats you being mean to yourself. If youre reading this youre ready.
My only suggestion is they leave you with some kind of machete in the hut. A poisonous snake tried to come in my hut but I used pots and pans to scare it away. Had it gotten inside there is no way of really protecting yourself especially if you're solo. So maybe bring your own? Or maybe dig deep as I had to and face it head on. Not sure on that one lol but I enjoyed myself regardless.
Thank you René and team for having me. Hope we meet again.

Bufo experience
To start off the the jungle atmosphere was amazing. My shaman, Renee was amazing, and i felt safe and in good hands the entire time. I used bufo to cap my recent ibogaine treatment, and i feel amzing. Id say the old me is back, but i cant ever remember feeling this great. So lets say the new me is here, and ready to face life head-on. Plant medication is a miracle, its not always easy. But anything worth doing rarely is.
