About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

There is something extraordinary about stepping away from the familiar and allowing yourself to reconnect with the natural world, the sacred mushroom medicine, and the wisdom within.

Nestled within the lush Mayan jungle near Akumal, Balam Ha offers an intimate sanctuary for five nights of sacred exploration, personalized guidance, and meaningful self-discovery. Here, the gentle movement of the trees, the songs of tropical birds, and the possibility of monkeys passing through the canopy invite you into a rhythm of life beyond everyday distractions.

At Souls Moving Mountains, we honor sacred mushroom medicine as a teacher of consciousness, approaching each ceremony with reverence, gratitude, and humility. We recognize that every journey is unique, shaped by your intentions, your relationship with the medicine, and the wisdom that unfolds along the way.

This is more than a ceremony. It is an opportunity to explore the relationship between your inner world and the life you create.

Your five-night retreat includes two private sacred mushroom ceremonies, offering the opportunity to deepen your relationship with the medicine across a more spacious and immersive journey. Guided by Savannah, co-founder and primary facilitator of Souls Moving Mountains, your experience is thoughtfully personalized to honor your intentions and individual needs.

Perhaps you're navigating a life transition, exploring emotional patterns, seeking clarity in your relationships, or feeling called to deepen your spiritual connection. Whatever brings you to the medicine, we create space to explore your experiences with curiosity, openness, and respect for your unique journey.

Through personalized coaching and our signature five-step methodology — Observe, Dig, Release, Envision, Embody — we explore how your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and actions contribute to your inner and outer reality. As awareness deepens, we begin to recognize the patterns that may be ready to shift and envision new ways of living in alignment with your own inner wisdom.

Your first private sacred mushroom ceremony invites exploration and discovery. The time between ceremonies allows space to rest, reflect, and integrate what has emerged, while your second ceremony offers an opportunity to explore more deeply, guided by the awareness cultivated throughout your stay.

Each ceremony unfolds within Balam Ha's beautiful palm-thatched Maloca, where prayer, intentional ritual, and the surrounding jungle create a sacred setting for connecting with the medicine.

Between ceremonies, we weave together personalized coaching, breathwork, meditation, movement, energy practices, cacao or elemental rituals, and guided exercises from You Are the Medicine: A Psychedelic Integration Workbook. Every experience is thoughtfully selected to complement your journey, honoring both the guidance of the medicine and your individual needs.

There is also time to simply be. Swim in the clear waters of Balam Ha's natural cenote, listen to the wildlife moving through the forest, or enjoy quiet reflection from your private jungle accommodations. We especially recommend the Cenote House, with additional villas and on-site apartments available according to your preferences, group size, and availability.

Throughout your stay, Savannah remains on-site, offering personalized guidance while honoring the medicine as the ultimate teacher.

As your retreat unfolds, integration becomes an opportunity to bring the teachings of the medicine into conscious action. Together, we explore how your evolving awareness can be embodied through your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and everyday choices.

Our intention is for you to return home with more than meaningful memories: a deeper understanding of yourself, a stronger relationship with the medicine, and a practical framework for consciously creating a life aligned with your soul.

Remember, you are the medicine.

A Note About Privacy & Accommodations

Your sacred mushroom ceremonies and personalized facilitation are private. Balam Ha may welcome other guests during your stay, and certain property spaces, including the cenote, may be shared.

Your accommodations are selected according to your preferences, group size, and availability. Retreats for couples, friends, and families can also be thoughtfully arranged.

Schedule

Your retreat includes five nights immersed in the Mayan jungle, two private sacred mushroom ceremonies, and personalized guidance throughout your experience.

Each day is thoughtfully designed to offer a balance of sacred exploration, integration, rest, and connection with nature. The following itinerary is an example of how your journey may unfold, with space to honor your intentions, individual needs, and the guidance of the medicine.

Day 1 — Arrival, Grounding & Connection

Your journey begins with your arrival in the Riviera Maya. We help coordinate transportation from either Cancún or Tulum International Airport to Balam Ha, nestled within the lush Mayan jungle near Akumal.

Settle into your private accommodations, whether the recommended Cenote House, a jungle villa, or an on-site apartment selected for your stay. Take time to explore the natural surroundings, visit the beautiful swimming cenote, and begin slowing down from the rhythms of everyday life.

Connect with Savannah for an initial coaching conversation, intention-setting, grounding practices, and an introduction to the medicine through intentional microdosing when appropriate.

Enjoy a nourishing welcome meal personally prepared by Savannah or thoughtfully arranged through local catering, followed by a peaceful evening surrounded by nature.

Day 2 — Preparation & First Sacred Ceremony

Begin the morning slowly with a nourishing breakfast, reflection, and time to connect with your body. Enjoy gentle movement, breathwork, or quiet moments immersed in the jungle surroundings.

Together with Savannah, explore your intentions and prepare for your first private sacred mushroom ceremony, creating space for whatever may unfold.

Your ceremony is typically recommended around sunset in Balam Ha's palm-thatched Maloca, surrounded by the living jungle. Prayer, intentional ritual, and compassionate facilitation create a sacred setting for your experience, accompanied by a ceremonial fire when appropriate.

Following your journey, enjoy nourishing food prepared or arranged for your comfort, rest, and gentle reflection as you begin integrating your experience.

Day 3 — Integration, Restoration & Discovery

Awaken naturally and enjoy a peaceful morning with breakfast, reflection, and time to reconnect with the surrounding environment.

Spend dedicated time with Savannah exploring your first ceremony through personalized integration coaching and You Are the Medicine: A Psychedelic Integration Workbook.

Together, we reflect on the thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and patterns that may have emerged, exploring how these discoveries relate to your everyday life.

Throughout the day, enjoy Balam Ha's restorative surroundings. Swim in the clear waters of the natural cenote, listen to wildlife moving through the jungle, practice gentle movement, or simply rest in your private accommodations.

Additional breathwork, meditation, EFT tapping, somatic awareness, or intentional microdosing may be incorporated when appropriate, allowing space for continued reflection and preparation for your second ceremony.

Enjoy nourishing meals personally prepared by Savannah or thoughtfully arranged through catering, with time for rest and meaningful conversation.

Day 4 — Renewed Intention & Second Sacred Ceremony

Begin the morning gently with nourishing food, meditation, and time to reflect on the discoveries of your first ceremony.

Together with Savannah, revisit your intentions and explore what you feel called to deepen, release, or understand more fully.

Your second private sacred mushroom ceremony offers another opportunity to connect with the medicine, informed by the awareness and experiences cultivated throughout your retreat.

As with your first journey, the ceremony may take place around sunset in the sacred Maloca, with prayer, intentional ritual, and ceremonial fire when appropriate.

Following the experience, enjoy nourishing food, quiet reflection, and a peaceful evening of rest.

Day 5 — Integration, Embodiment & Conscious Creation

Awaken naturally and enjoy a gentle morning surrounded by the sounds of the jungle, with a nourishing breakfast prepared or arranged for you.

Our final full day together offers dedicated space to explore the discoveries of both ceremonies and how they may influence the life you wish to create.

Through personalized coaching and our five-step methodology — Observe, Dig, Release, Envision, Embody — we explore how your evolving awareness can be reflected in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, choices, and actions.

Depending on your needs, our day may include breathwork, meditation, energy work, gentle movement, or guided exercises from your integration workbook.

Enjoy time to swim in the cenote, rest, journal, and connect with nature. A cacao or elemental ceremony offers an opportunity to honor your journey and the intentions you wish to carry forward.

As evening approaches, gather for fireside reflection, gratitude, and a meaningful closing to our time together in the jungle, accompanied by a nourishing meal.

Day 6 — Reflection & Returning Home

Begin your final morning with a nourishing breakfast, quiet reflection, and time to appreciate the natural surroundings.

Join Savannah for a closing integration conversation, exploring how the insights of your journey can be embodied through your thoughts, emotions, and actions in everyday life.

Together, we identify supportive practices and intentions to help you continue your evolution after returning home.

Your coordinated transportation will take you to either Cancún or Tulum International Airport for your departure.


Every retreat is thoughtfully personalized. Ceremony timing, activities, meals, and daily rhythms remain flexible to honor your intentions, individual needs, and the natural unfolding of your experience.

Our intention is for you to return home with more than memories: a deeper understanding of yourself, a meaningful relationship with the medicine, and a practical framework for consciously creating the life you wish to live.

Remember, you are the medicine.
