MexiSoul Retreats

First of all, I would like to precise that I attended the same retreat than the person who left the testimony just below and this is what motivated me to leave a review and share my personal experience.

My Ayahuasca retreat experience at MexiSoul was both beautiful and intense.

A beautiful experience thanks to the amazing human beings who run the entire experience: the kitchen staff, the volunteers, the ceremony support staff, the shaman, the musicians, the retreat director, the owner of the place, and all the others I probably forget. I felt welcomed and supported from day 1 to the very last goodbye. My group was a bit unusual because I was surrounded by men (most group retreats are composed of women) and it was reassuring for me to find some beautiful and loving feminine energy in all the staff.

It was also an intense experience, obviously because of the plant medicines that know how to offer the right learning process at the right time! It's not always easy but it's also why it can be so therapeutic. Ayahuasca is not for everybody, it is not recreative, it is meant for you if you wish to dive deep into yourself and come out with a new perspective on different aspects of your life.

I personally decided to take ayahuasca, satori and bufo but did not feel like taking rapé or kambo again, and I would like to testify that I never felt pushed to take anything at any point during the retreat. And I really don't see what the retreat would have to gain in pushing people to take anything. Each participant is present as a consenting adult and is responsible for making his own decisions during the retreat. The staff made this clear from the very start so for me it was pure respect and common sense from start to finish.

Finally what made this retreat so special to me was the amazing finca run by the most inspiring owner, an amazing Mexican woman. And as a very big animal lover, I was thrilled to be surrounded by horses, donkeys, cats, fish and birds everywhere. The place is truly stunning and I was discovering new gems every day walking around the place, you have to see it with your own eyes...

Accommodations are rustic and comfy, just what's needed. Food was tasty with plenty of fruits and snacks at any time, it lacked a bit of protein for my taste but the idea is also to be light on the body in order to facilitate the work of the plant medicines.

My final special thanks go to all the musicians who delivered the most beautiful and soul nourishing live music during the ceremonies. If there was one thing to retain for me it's how loving, reassuring and calming it was to hear their voices and instruments while I was processing my own medicine journey. And of course, ceremony support angels, thank you a million times for all your attentions and for being of service with so much love.

You can't really go wrong in choosing MexiSoul, I'm personally so glad I followed my intuition and chose this place and this team.

Thank you from a very grateful heart :)

The property is absolutely amazing. If you need an inland agricultural getaway, Finca El Pendulo - Aldeas is the place for you!
I would absolutely not recommend the ceremonies and “medicines” to most people. The abundance of ceremonies and “medicines” was overwhelming and, for me, too much. With no medical support or staff, they use these “medicines” in and around an unsafe environment. If anything happens, even if it isn’t directly caused by the “medicines,” beware.
While I was there, it was difficult to get a 77-year-old man taken seriously,after a horse riding incident and get him to a hospital. It took nearly an hour before the owner—not the staff or director—got him taken in. The directors and operator may be too “medicated” to know or act appropriately.
I was able to withdraw, go, and do my own thing. I had come for Ayahuasca only and a self-retreat, which I actually found difficult because the director and staff made me feel very alienated and like an outcast.
I thought it was just one “medicine.” They have five or more on the menu, and you don’t know how they’re handled or stored, or what the ingredients are. They just keep pushing them on you.
Also, bring lots of snacks! They make you eat very little, and the variety is limited and bland.

I highly recommend Mexisoul. It is a place filled with loving people, a very beautiful setting, gorgeous well cared for horses, donkeys, cats, and two beautiful black wolves, in a large secure area, where they are living their best lives. The care and love given to all animals that are lucky enough to call Mexisoul home, is five star. The ceremonies are highly supportive, and in the absolute most beautiful ceremony space I've ever seen. The musicians were wonderful. Also the food is fantastic. Very healthy, and delicious. I am looking forward to going back in January for my second retreat.

The entire staff was extremely helpful and the healing process was amazing.
I will definitely be back and highly recommend this retreat for anyone interested.

It is truly a magical place. The amenities are first class and very artistically done.
The people are kind hearted, supportive, welcoming. So many new friends, I feel like I have a new family subset.
The animals roaming around and another wonderful element to the ambience. Bureaus, horses, chickens, and ducks, cats. Definitely another therapeutic element.
The organization was great and it was a very full week.
I went for a life reset, I absolutely got that.
