MexiSoul Retreats

Came expecting to meet aliens, left healing wounds I didn't even know I had.

10/10 would Mexisoul again.

An utterly unbelievable week. Read More

I came to MexiSoul wanting to be fixed. I wanted to be changed, to become a whole new person. I was divorced after a 25-year relationship and couldn't trust my intuition because of past traumas. I was in a new relationship and was struggling with self-worth, insecurity, guilt, and grief. I wanted to move on with my life but was too overwhelmed. I was afraid of having a psychedelic experience but was desperate for help because therapy, medication, and support weren't enough. My cousin found MexiSoul. I saw his perspective and life change after he returned, so I decided to try it myself.

I was intimidated by the whole process, afraid of the medicine, and felt guilty, like I was putting people out. But by the end of the retreat, I understood the spiritual motivations that brought each soul to that space. I felt nourished by the nutritious, delicious food, the personal touches in the rooms, and all the thoughtful features of the finca. I shared healing with every person there, from massages to conversations with other guests to profound moments with the shamans. I left with a deep sense of connection and gratitude.

Two important epiphanies that have stayed with me and have impacted my life since are a recognition of the special light that each of us is and the interconnection of everything in the universe, which I now think of as God.

I had been struggling with self-criticism and low self-esteem, which translated into unhealthy comparisons and, basically, jealousy. I saw beautiful, seemingly perfect people and judged myself harshly against everyone. During my first Satori experience, I saw how each of us is unique, beautiful, and perfect in our own way. We should not, and we will never be the same or comparable. We are each extraordinary and beautiful because of what makes us unique. That epiphany helped me better understand, respect, and love everyone around me and, in turn, have more compassion and love for myself. Even on my bad days, I still feel the power of that truth, and it has brought immeasurable peace and comfort to my ever-changing and challenging life back home.

On my final day of medicine, after coming out of Bufo, I saw God. I don't know how else to describe it. It was like a rebirth, like a connection to every atom and every distant galaxy at all times - past, present, and future. My sense of self, my vision, hearing, feeling, etc., was interconnected, omnipresent, and somewhat omniscient, like I was in another dimension that spanned beyond temporal or spacial boundaries. It was indescribable, but I remember it in a way that profoundly changed my perspective. I better understand how and why people created religion and have sought to understand what's beyond our human experience and senses. I have a renewed respect for the wisdom in spirituality and religion and infinitely more grace for conflict. I have a lasting sense of peace about the yin and yang of life - the dichotomies of pain and joy, of life and death, of the circular and cyclic nature of life, of love and attraction - down to attraction of molecules that make up matter - as the driving force and purpose of existence.

As a skeptical former atheist, my mind has been opened to questions and possibilities of what exists outside our limited perspective. I have more grace, compassion, love, and kindness for myself, those I love, and every being with which we coexist. I'm off antidepressants for the first time in years. I drink only moderately and socially now. I've found serenity despite the challenges of working single mom life. I joke about doing my midlife crisis with aplomb. But fundamentally, I have found peace and open-mindedness, which I'm eager to share with anyone who wants it. I am forever thankful to everyone who is the soul of MexiSoul. Thank you for showing me - for reminding me - who I am. For creating such an incredibly supportive sacred space for self-exploration and actualization. And for making our precious world a better place one retreat at a time. I will forever be part of the MexiSoul family and look forward to returning to that spiritual home when I am again called to do so. Read More

No tengo palabras para decir todo el bueno que salió de esta experiencia. Todo el mundo necesito hacer este camino interior. Read More

I just got back from a retreat (March 2025). It was beyond words. In the medicine ceremonies, I received incredible insights about myself that probably would have taken at least 5 years of traditional therapy for me to unravel. However, even better than the ceremonies were the people. Mexisoul is run with love, and connecting with other participants about their medicine journeys helped me integrate what I received in my own ceremony. I don't know how I would have been able to integrate as well as I did without talking with the others who were on the mat with me in ceremony. Read More
