The Great Awakening I

Certified Kambo, Sacred Toad & Tepezcohuíte Practitioner Peace has been a seeker of truth for as long as he can remember. From a young age being incredibly interested in psychedelics and self-exploration, even having extracted his own medicine from plants, he's had many amazing mystical experiences. Peace was heavily influenced by a number of prominent authors and researchers in this field, one of his personal favorites being Graham Hancock. In 2015, Peace started a job in the cannabis industry and not only did it help him meet many like-minded people in the world of plant medicines, but he also spent a large portion of his career traveling internationally to different seminars and conventions on the medicinal use of cannabis as well as other forms of natural healthcare. During his travels, Peace even had the honor of personally meeting Raphael Mechoulam - the Israeli chemist who first isolated the THC & CBD molecules in the 1970’s. Peace became fascinated by many different cultures and spiritualities - much of his fascination being fueled by first hand experiences having traveled frequently throughout Asia, South America, Mexico, Israel and more. In 2021, Peace made the decision to live full time in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - and he now works full time as a spiritual healer and retreat facilitator - offering Kambo and Sacred Toad Ceremonies on a regular basis. Peace is a certified Level I Reiki Practitioner and has studied Psychedelic Fundamentals offered through M.A.P.S., completed courses in Healing Trauma & Addiction under Dr. Gabor Maté as well as learning the HeartMath Experience through the HeartMath Institute; he's the founder of Sacred Jaguar Medicine, and co-founder of Sacred Pathways Spiritual Retreats and Quantum Consciousness.

Retreat Facilitator & Yoga Teacher Alejandra is a health professional, with a deep sensitivity toward nature and the human soul. Since childhood, she has felt a special connection with the earth, plants, and animals. At the age of twelve, she began to meditate in search of calm and understanding—an inner journey that would later become her life’s vocation, to accompany others through emotional healing and transformation. Her curiosity to understand the mind and the heart led her to study psychology. In 2019, a profound life experience reshaped her perspective and opened the door to exploring neuroscience, ancestral medicines, and meditation as complementary paths toward healing. Since then, she has worked therapeutically with cacao, cannabis, and mushrooms, weaving together scientific knowledge and ancestral wisdom with respect and presence. Today, she continues her shamanic apprenticeship alongside a medicine woman, recognizing nature, ceremony, and silence as sacred teachers. With over eight years of yoga practice and a teacher certification, Alejandra continues to study the sacred texts of Hinduism, finding in devotion a path toward inner freedom. She sees herself as an eternal student—walking with both feet on earth, learning from every being she meets, and remembering, again and again, the beauty of being alive and human.

Divine Fungus Ceremony Facilitator & EFT Tapping Practitioner Alexia's consciousness journey has involved a series of awakenings, leading her to create spaces of openness where people feel seen and safe to share their stories, something she has intuitively offered her whole life. The beginning of this journey, in part, can be credited to her deep connection to her abuelito Santiago, a man who instilled in her a profound love for nature and introduced her to the power of the mind through various mindfulness and psycho-somatic practices. Her natural curiosity about her family's emotional and ancestral roots led her to the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, where she studied Psychology and found language and tools to explore the human mind and better understand the sacred moments that shape who we are. Her plant medicine journey began at the age of nineteen, discovering a space where love and presence are embodied. In this space she instinctively gravitated towards mindfulness and self-reflection practices such as journaling and body scan meditation. Her thoughtful approach to tripping has led to transformative experiences, which have served to unlock memories, illuminate the shadow, and ultimately strengthen her connection to truth and love. Through mindfulness practices and sacred mushroom journeys, Alexia holds space for others to reconnect with their inner world, as well as embrace their truth and their reality. She is the co-founder of Starlight Gathering, a space created for our community to thoughtfully journey inward, with a focus on integrating consciousness and love. She is also the co-founder of SOMOS Adaptógenos y Superfoods, a plant and mushroom focused company offering a path back to nature.
