Ayahuasca Retreat - Mexico
With Amina Tezkatlahuiz, Alexa Iya Soro and Luke DeStefano
January 15 - 19, 2026
The Invitation
This work takes courage. For those who receive the calling, our plant medicine retreats offer an opportunity to reconnect to your true nature with a guidance of a caring, wise, and experienced team.
This work is not only about personal healing, but creating healthy relationships with ourselves, our families, community, and nature. For us, this work as much about personal growth as it is about creating a beautiful future. In other words, a retreat with Sacred Counsel isn’t just an experience – it’s a path.
Our ayahuasca retreats are 5 days long with 2 ayahuasca ceremonies, with an option for additional 2 night stay for integration.
We offer a range of enriching activities throughout the week, including daily breathwork, massage & bodywork, yoga & meditation, traditional sweat lodge ceremonies, breathwork, sharing circles, 1 on 1 therapy and integration tools.
Our retreat is held at a breathtaking spiritual retreat center nestled in central highlands of Mexico that was purpose built to support and sustain sacred medicine work. Our comfortable, eco-friendly accommodations allow to immerse yourself in nature while enjoying the comforts of a 4-star resort.
In your off time, you can stroll through our beautiful gardens, swim in the natural pools, and admire the extensive collection of original artwork and sculptures from world renowned visionary artists. All of our dome-style bungalows are fully equipped with a king-sized bed, private bathroom, shower, dresser, and heater.
