Adriana Lecuona

Adriana has 10 years experience as facilitator and session guide for ancestral mexican ceremonies based on traditional gastronomy (cacao, corn, etc.), curative herbs, power plants and bufo alvarius. 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.

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.

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.

Magical

I will tell you that I went in with no expectations. I know how the spiritual world works. From the moment I contacted Gabriel, He was very responsive, polite and professional. He scheduled my Ayuhuaska session with Agustina. Agustina then contacted me and from that point on I felt sure, secure and safe. I wanted a private session because I wanted to gauge the work I had done for myself and let me tell you. Wow!!!!! With Agustina’s guidance I had a life changing experience that I must have spent the last hour and a half in complete gratitude. Honoring what transpired as well and honoring Agustina. To say that it was amazing is a complete understatement. I highly recommend it. I also recommend following her pre session instructions to further the experience. You’ll be the one to get what you need from it. I wish you love. ❤️ Muchisimas Gracias Gabriel y Agustina. Se los agradezco de todo mi corazón. ❤️ Read More

Wonderful Plant Ceremonies

I feel so fortunate to have been at this retreat with 4 other attendees whose energies collectively made the ceremony very special for my first time at a retreat of this type. Our Shaman, Rene, is one of a kind and took my stay to the highest level. The facilities were certainly beautiful; however, it definitely felt like keeping up with maintenance type issues was non-existent. I'm not a true camper so the issues that bothered me probably would not bother anyone use to being out in nature tent camping. I would suggest that anyone planning to attend bring healthy snacks to supplement food availability. I would absolutely recommend Nuha Wellness Community as a retreat for anyone who wants the experience of nature and ceremony. Read More

Profound. Life changing. Safe.

I could never put into words my time with Agustina. I am left with so much love and so my gratitude.

I came here to learn to love myself, heal, and find peace. That’s one heck of a tall order of an intention.

It was one of the absolute worst nights of my life, and also one of the best nights of my life.

A word of advice. Forget everything you have read about Ayahuasca. I bought all of the books, read every single thing I could find on the internet, did all of the prep, and was “ready”. NOTHING could have prepared me for my night. Nothing. I wish I had gone into it reading less, not more.

You will NOT get what you want, but you WILL get what you need. I experienced a very dark night of the soul. There are no words for how dark it was, but that’s what needed. It was exactly what I needed and I had NO idea.

Augustina held the most safe and sacred space for me. It was no accident that it was Augustina who held that space and supported our ceremony. She was a GIFT, an absolute gift, as was beautiful Arturo. I would never ever have gotten through the night without them. Ever. There are no accidents, and no mistakes.

You are SAFE with Augustina. You will be supported and allowed to be and do whatever it is that you need to. My gratitude for that safe space is indescribable.

If you feel called to this medicine, as a woman I can not recommend anyone, anywhere, more. She is a beautiful and incredible human being inside and out. She has a gift that she shares so selflessly with others. I am forever thankful for her.

Don’t be afraid to answer the call if you hear it. HEALING IS POSSIBLE. The broken can become whole again. There is hope, and so much love waiting for you. You deserve that ❤️ Read More

Great Experience

Agustina is a consumate shaman - a mistress of sound, fragance, song and plants. She guided me with great skill and dedicated care, introducing me to her home, the jungle and the plants. When I was not with Agustina, Marco at Kuha Wellness Community, where I stayed for four nights, provided excellent food and very friendly and cordial support. Read More
