Before she worked in the hospitality business all around Mexico, especially in spa and wellness. Together with her husband, Alfonso, they have been following power plants maestros since 15 years ago, gradually gathering experience as assistants and practitioners. They are full-time and professionally dedicated to this path, where the resident location is Riviera Maya but also travel all around Mexico to perform sessions and as guests for retreats and events.

Gabriel Clerici Epis

Gabriel is among the rare few non-indigenous persons to be legally authorized from the Pluricultural Governor of Sonora to enter the territories between Hermosillo and Punta Chueca to collect the Bufo Alvarius medicine directly from the wild toads on the territory and authorized and registered as practitioner to serve the medicine in sessions. Bio: Growing up in Central America in the 70's, Gabriel has naturally developed a sense of syncretic practice of spiritual energy and philosophy. 15 years ago he initiated his discovery and learning of plant medicines with hierbatero Lucho Panduro and ayahuasquero Alessio Prefumo in Tamshiyacu (Perù) and then Bolivia, Chile and Italy. After an experience living in Cuba, cooperating with Orisha Yoruba priests of African Santeria, Gabriel lived 10 years in South America, where he continued the deepening of his research by dwelling with indigenous communities in remote mountainous regions, participating to rural development projects and to the ritualistic tradition in the Andes, then moving to Mexico to learn the utilization of Bufo Alvarius. He is interested in the diffusion of diverse instruments for the spirit. His idea is to connect more people to the information, the preparation and basic mindset to approach powerful spiritual tools such as natural plant medicines. His effort is to improve the process, the communication and the experience of the sessions and therapies and render them available to almost everybody. He believes on pulling down the barriers of spiritual elitism. In helping these wonderful "instruments" to face the fascinating modern challenges, as an inside-out revolution. Gabriel aims to contribute for compatibility among and beyond different environments, cultural realities and melting down modern and ancient ideological schisms, the barriers of language and discrimination.

3. Caring Expert Facilitators

We invite You to the most intense and 100% natural, fast-acting entheogenic DMT for a powerful synesthetic, life-changing experience.
We are glad to guide and assist you, whether you are a neophyte, or have already experienced DMT, either with Bufo Alvarius or plant-based derivates.

Procedures of Session:
1) At time scheduled registration form at the Studio or Jungle site
2) Preparation time with facilitator: immerse in relaxing your body and mind... remember to breath The mantra is: LET GO...
Find your comfortable posture...
3) Ready to initiate the Bufo Alvarius Experience. Brief and simple instructions on most efficient inspiration technique.
The experience is relatively intense but brief. You will be immersed in a non-intruding and soft live soundscape of melodies.
4) THE PROCESS closely monitored by the facilitators in a safe and non-pervasive way.
5) "soft landing" and integration back from the experience. We offer fruits and water.
6) End of session, without fret. For those that wish to express and communicate we have a post-session integration time. Fpr those that prefer an introspective process, we totally respect your space and do not "bother" you by questioning you. This is the subtle moment for the facilitator to sensibly understand your state and flow with it.

Peyote Ceremony

The whole experience was great. The convenience of having a taxi service associated with pick up and drop off was key.

The setting in this jungle village was really nice. And our guide Rene was amazing and very skilled and talented with all the different instruments he played during the experience. Rene also made us feel welcomed and comfortable throughout the entire experience.

I would highly recommend this!

My first Ayahuasca experience

We chose XG for our first experience after much deliberations, however it felt right and was calling to me for whatever reason at the time.

We chose to stay two nights in the Magick house lodging, and had two ceremonies booked.

To say the experience was absolutely perfect, incredible and stunning would not be giving it enough justice.

Everything about our experience with Rene was all I ever wished for, such a magical and transformative journey, the sounds our Shaman Rene played through his many instruments invoked the great spirits and guardians for guidance the entire way, I felt a strong connection to the shaman and can not recommend this place enough.

If you are considering XG, don’t hesitate, you will not leave disappointed.

A powerful experience

The experience was powerful and I learned a lot from it. Gabriel helped me to feel relaxed and comfortable and answered any questions I had before guiding me throughout my journey and then helping me to process it after. I would highly recommend this experience and shaman to others. He was friendly, knowledgable and an excellent guide.

A couple of small things that might be useful to know: Be sure to have your ticket when arriving at the site or a working local phone, as the security men at the gate were reluctant to let me in until Gabriel arrived. It seemed a little unsafe at first as it was far away from the city and there was no one else around but it was fine.
