Ayahuasca, Kambo & Bufo Cancun 5 Days Intensive

This was one of the best and most interesting retreats I have been to and I've visiting many. Sara and her husband are so kind and they really have a nice diverse flexible schedule of events every day. The food is home cooking, healthy, and tasty. We did Kambo, yoga. sound therapy, a cacao ceremony, Rape', Ayahuasca, Temazcal (sweat lodge) experience, and Bufo. I requested to extend my visit after my scheduled activities concluded and Sara was more than accommodating. The wildlife was fascinating. I loved watching the monkeys climbing around the property. The retreat is close to the airport, so very convenient. It's secluded but also accessible by Uber when and if you want to visit the beach. Rene was an excellent Shaman for Aya and Kambo. Sofia was very helpful with the Temazcal, yoga, and sound therapy.

I was terrified of confronting myself, but the wonderful people and beauty of the earth made the ride as smooth as possible. I’ve known what I needed all along but this experience showed me that I can finally trust my intuition and spread my wings without being afraid of fear. It’s all part of the process.

Much love to Sarah, Frederico, and all of the others who help make this awesome place possible. You are the glue which holds it all together.

I loved the whole experience and time I spent at La Hacienda. It literally was life changing for me. I was nervous before I got there but once I arrived I was no longer nervous the whole place has a very relaxing environment and vibe and the staff is absolutely amazing very caring and informative on everything and you can tell that they truly do care they make you feel like family. I've always had a hard time opening up to people but when I was there they made me feel so comfortable and I was finally able to just let go and speak freely and I felt more alive than I ever have in life. THANK YOU. I LOVE LA HACIENDA CANCUN!!

I benefited greatly from this experience. This was my first time participating in this type of healing. I followed the
prep directions fairly well. I had made some life decisions and to participate needed to stop taking my daily SSRI's (2012), not as easy as US medical people tell you is when you start on them. Next was to stop drinking at least 3 weeks prior to retreat. Both of these came about through a devastating loss in 2012. My last drink was November 16th. This was also rough as I was a daily evening drinker for some time and typically one bottle per 5-7 days. (1.75 of Stoli). Heading into the retreat I was still having to battle triggers. Needless to say what one of my intensions was. The other was my breathing issue that the SSRI's had basically hidden from me since being on them. that had come back and without relief I would very likely have to go back on them.
So as of today January 29th I do not have triggers, the "pull" to drink, the taste for an ice cold one... My breathing had improved and continues too and will not be going back to SSRI's. I deal with chronic pain from injury's and auto immune disease. Yes, I will be returning to address these issues as well.
For me each of these Ceremony's had a part in my healing.
Kamboo - was my roughest, gracias leader.
Temezcal - gracias Jorge and the four doors
Ayahuasca - gracias Shaman for making it clear I was to do the work and you were here to guide me. (the work was difficult but rewarding)
Bufo - gracias Sara, this for me was the most joyful experience of them.
Sound healing and yoga - gracias Sofi
Gracias La Hacienda you are a "Casa del Amor".

Beautiful enviroment, excellent food, freindly, supportive and knowledgeable staff, safe comfortable, clean rooms with good water pressure an hot water and a/c. Perfect temperature in shaded jungle. Bottled water availlable all day. Ceremonies offered were excellent and being my first experience, once complete i can appreciate how they integrate well together. Still learning alot, looking forward to continue understanding what i have learned and very grateful for what I have been given. I would and probably will book again with a better understanding of what to expect which, likely will ehance my learning. I am 72 years old and a long time Vipassana Meditation fan and that learning method intergrates well with my experience at the retreat. May all beings be happy
