About this Retreat
Kaan Ixin is a spiritual guide, ceremonial facilitator and co-founder of Aldea Yakunah, a living sanctuary in the Mayan jungle of Mexico dedicated to healing, nature and ancestral wisdom.
Her path has been deeply connected to the study and practice of sacred medicines, energetic healing and spiritual integration. Through years of personal experience and service, Kaan has accompanied many people in processes of emotional healing, self-discovery and reconnection with their inner truth.
Together with her family, she has created Aldea Yakunah, a conscious jungle sanctuary where traditional medicine, nature and community come together to support personal transformation. The retreat space is built in harmony with the land and surrounded by the powerful energy of the tropical forest.
Kaan’s work is guided by respect for ancestral traditions, intuition and a deep commitment to holding safe and sacred spaces for those seeking clarity, healing and spiritual growth.
Her ceremonies and retreats are intimate and heart-centered, offering participants a supportive environment where they can reconnect with themselves, release emotional burdens and remember their connection with nature and spirit.
Through her work, Kaan continues to share the vision of Aldea Yakunah as a place of healing, consciousness and transformation in the heart of the Mayan jungle.
Space Guardian & Facilitator
Pepe is deeply connected to the path of personal transformation and the work with ancestral medicines. For many years he was part of the corporate world, building his professional life within demanding business environments where the rhythm of the modern system shaped his daily life.
Over time, however, he began to feel a deeper inner calling that led him to question that way of living and to search for a path more aligned with nature, inner awareness, and spiritual purpose.
This search brought him closer to inner work and the wisdom of ancestral medicines, beginning a profound journey of learning, personal transformation and expansion of consciousness. Through the years he has been involved in ceremonial spaces and healing processes, developing a natural ability to care for the energy of the space and offer grounded support to those going through deep personal experiences.
Pepe’s presence is often described as calm, stable and protective. These qualities help create a safe and respectful environment for participants who come seeking clarity, healing and reconnection with themselves.
Eventually, life led him to make a radical decision: to leave behind the conventional path and create a life that was simpler, more conscious and deeply connected to the earth.
Together with his wife, Kaan Ixin, he chose to follow this vision and co-create Aldea Yakunah, a sanctuary in the heart of the jungle where today he and his family continue developing a life project dedicated to nature, awareness and the support of personal transformation processes.
Details of this retreat
This is not just a ceremony.
It is a profound encounter with your essence.
Our Bufo Alvarius experience takes place in the heart of the Mayan jungle, inside a sacred and carefully held space where every detail is designed to support deep healing, safety, and transformation.
Bufo Alvarius, also known as 5-MeO-DMT, is one of the most powerful natural substances on Earth. It offers a direct experience of unity, silence, and expanded consciousness. Many describe it as a return to source, a dissolution of the ego, and a remembrance of what we truly are beyond identity, story, and conditioning.
At Aldea Yakunah, we approach this medicine with deep respect, responsibility, and reverence for ancestral wisdom.
This is a private and personalized experience, meaning each session is tailored to your process, your energy, and your intention. We do not treat this as a массов experience, but as a sacred individual journey.
Before the ceremony, we conduct an energetic and emotional assessment to understand your intentions, your history, and to ensure that this medicine is aligned with your path.
What the Experience Includes:
• Private Bufo Alvarius ceremony
• Personalized preparation and integration guidance
• Safe, held ceremonial space in the jungle
• One-on-one accompaniment throughout the entire process
• Emotional and energetic support before, during, and after
• Integration conversation after the experience
• Optional additional therapies depending on your process (breathwork, energy cleansing, grounding practices)
The Space:
The ceremony takes place in Aldea Yakunah, a living sanctuary immersed in the Mayan jungle.
Surrounded by nature, silence, and the powerful energy of the land, this space allows you to disconnect from external noise and reconnect with your inner truth.
The environment is simple, natural, and deeply intentional created to support introspection, grounding, and transformation.
Important Information:
• This is a powerful experience and not for everyone
• A prior consultation is required before confirmation
• Fasting and specific preparation guidelines may be requested
• This experience is offered in a safe, respectful, and guided setting
• Participants must be emotionally and mentally prepared
Why a Personalized Process Matters:
We believe that each person carries a unique story, energy, and intention.
For this reason, we work primarily in private sessions, allowing us to hold a much deeper, safer, and more meaningful space.
This is not about the medicine alone it is about the integration, the intention, and the way the experience is held.
Who Is This For:
• People seeking deep inner transformation
• Those ready to release emotional or energetic blockages
• Individuals on a spiritual path looking for clarity or expansion
• Those feeling called to reconnect with their essence
This is a sacred doorway, not an escape.
If you feel the call, we invite you to approach it with respect, openness, and honesty.
We are here to guide, support, and hold you through a profound and life-changing experience.

Accommodation
The accommodation at Aldea Yakunah is an essential part of the experience. It is a simple, natural and deeply grounded space designed to allow visitors to rest, slow down and reconnect with the living rhythm of the jungle. The cabins and traditional palapas have been built in harmony with nature using local materials from the surrounding jungle, including regional hardwoods and traditional guano palm leaf roofs, following ancestral building techniques that have been used in this region for generations. Each structure blends organically with the natural environment, creating a peaceful and authentic atmosphere. Rather than luxury in the conventional sense, the space offers an organic and conscious experience, where nature itself becomes part of the home. The sound of birds at sunrise, the wind moving through the trees and the vibrant life of the jungle accompany the rest and reflection of those who stay here. Everything at Aldea Yakunah has been created with intention, respect and love for the land. Many elements of the space have been blessed and ritualized, helping to maintain an atmosphere of tranquility, protection and spiritual connection. Much of the sanctuary has been built by the hands of its own creators and their family, who have lovingly shaped the space over time. This personal dedication gives the place a unique energy and authenticity that can be felt throughout the land. Staying at Aldea Yakunah is more than simply sleeping in the jungle; it is an invitation to experience a deeper connection with nature, where body, mind and spirit can find calm and balance.
