A Private Retreat for Serious Inner Work

This retreat is created for people who want to work with plant medicine in a safe, private, and professionally supported environment.

Held in a dedicated luxury ceremonial resort in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, the experience combines preparation before arrival, ayahuasca ceremony, body care, rest, and integration guidance during and after the retreat.

The focus is not on the number of ceremonies, but on the quality of the entire process: privacy, safety, professional guidance, comfort, and space for integration.

Private eco-style accommodation, nourishing meals, and retreat transportation are included, so participants can arrive, settle in, and give their attention fully to the process.
The Key Elements of the Experience
This retreat is built around a simple principle: the quality of the entire experience matters.

The ceremony is only one part of the process. What surrounds it — preparation, place, rest, body care, food, integration, and the way each participant is held — shapes how deeply the work can unfold and how meaningfully it can be brought back into life.

  • Preparation before arrival helps you enter the retreat with clarity, intention, and respect for the medicine.
  • The nature mountain setting in Valle de Bravo offers beauty, silence, gardens, and distance from daily pressure.
  • The private group allows for personal attention, trust, and a coherent ceremonial space.
  • One carefully held ayahuasca ceremony gives enough room to rest and integration instead of trying to experience multiple ceremonies in short time.
  • Professional integration guidance supports you before, during, and after the retreat.
  • Private eco-style accommodation gives each participant space for silence, rest, and personal reflection.
  • Organic meals aligned with the ayahuasca diet support the body throughout the process.
  • Temazcal, plant baths, and therapeutic massage help grounding, cleansing, body care, and restoration.
  • Post-retreat integration guidance helps you bring the experience back into daily life with clarity and steadiness.
The Retreat Flow
July 10-13, 2026 | Valle Bravo, Mexico
The retreat is intentionally spacious. Each day has a clear focus, with enough time for arrival, ceremony, rest, body care, integration, and quiet reflection.
Day 1 | Arrival & Ceremony
You arrive at the retreat resort, settle into your private accommodation, and have time to ground before the evening ceremony.

Arrival • Accommodation • Lunch • Orientation • Plant Medicine Ceremony
Day 2 | Rest & Inner Work
The day after ceremony is dedicated to rest, grounding, and integration. We move slowly, allowing the experience to settle through silence, sharing, body awareness, and the support of the Temazcal.

Breakfast • Rest Time • Lunch • Integration Circle • Temazcal • Dinner
Day 3 | Integration & Body Care
This day supports the return to the body and the practical integration of the ceremony. Individual sessions, massage, personal reflection time, and a closing circle help give shape to the process.

Breakfast • 1:1 Integration Sessions • Individual Massage • Lunch • Personal Integration Time • Dinner • Integration Circle • Celebration
Day 4 | Departure
A soft closing morning with breakfast and farewells before departure.

Note: Recommended departure is the morning of Day 4 after breakfast. If necessary, participants may leave on the evening of Day 3, though we strongly recommend staying for the full integration night.

Private Eco-Style Accommodation

Participants stay in beautifully designed eco-style houses created with natural materials, soft organic forms, and earthy colors that blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.

Surrounded by flowering gardens, each house offers a private, comfortable, and grounding space for rest, silence, personal reflection, and integration throughout the retreat.

Each private house includes:
  • One King-size or two individual beds
  • Private bathroom and shower
  • Wooden furniture
  • Heater
We recommend single accommodation for all participants, as plant medicine work is deeply personal and often requires space, privacy, and quiet integration.

For couples or family members attending together, double accommodation is also available.
