Find answers to the most common questions about our retreats, approach, and logistics.
Common Questions
Does every retreat include psychedelics?
No. All the modalities we offer are optional. Your retreat is tailored to your specific needs and intentions, and nothing is mandatory. We are here to provide a comprehensive, supportive experience, whether it includes psychedelics or not.
Are your retreats for individuals or couples?
Both. We design deeply personal retreats for individuals seeking solo transformation as well as for couples wishing to deepen their connection and explore their relationship in a safe, conscious space.
What kind of Tantra do you practice?
We practice classical Tantra, focusing on self-realization through breathwork, mindful movement, energy awareness, and consensual, non-sexual conscious touch. For couples who wish to explore intimacy, we can provide specific guidance, but our facilitators do not participate in any sexual touch. We encourage you to read our detailed Tantra guide to learn more.
What results can I expect from a retreat?
True transformation—like seeing yourself more clearly or knowing what to do next—comes from your own inner wisdom. We don't promise specific results, as the journey is deeply personal. Our role is to provide the expert tools, a safe container, and unwavering support for *your* profound work and evolution.
What is the primary goal of your retreats?
Our goal is to help you connect with your own inner wisdom, release the tension of daily life, and find a deeper sense of peace and clarity. We create a space for you to do the work you feel called to do.
What is the general atmosphere of your retreats?
The atmosphere we cultivate is gentle, peaceful, and introspective. While the inner work can be deep and challenging, you will be held and supported in a friendly, calm, and nurturing environment.
Are your retreats standardized or personalized?
Our retreats are highly personalized. We believe each person's journey is unique, so we co-create every experience based on your specific intentions and needs.
What does "spiritual" mean in your context?
For us, "spiritual" is not about religion; it's about connection. It means fostering a connection to your heart, your purpose, your higher self, and the universal spirit of life that resides within all of us.
How do I know if this retreat is right for me?
Our retreats are for those seeking deep personal transformation who are ready to engage in honest inner work. We begin with a discovery call to discuss your intentions and ensure our approach is a good mutual fit for the experience you are looking for.
Investment & Conscious Contribution
Why don't you have a fixed price for your retreats?
We see the financial exchange as the very first step in your therapeutic journey. A fixed price creates a simple transaction, but it can bypass a valuable opportunity for self-inquiry. Our Conscious Contribution model invites you into a practice of honesty, self-worth, and trust from our very first conversation.
Is this a 'pay-what-you-can' or donation-based model?
No. This is a conscious, two-way energetic exchange, not a donation. Our retreats hold immense value and involve real costs. This model is about mindfully determining a contribution that honors both the value you receive and the resources you bring, moving beyond a simple transaction into a relationship of mutual respect.
How do we determine the contribution amount?
This is a transparent and stress-free process. During our initial conversation, we can openly discuss the typical contribution range for a retreat of this nature, providing a clear starting point. From there, after the work is done, you can find a specific number that feels sustainable and empowering for you.
What if I feel uneasy about the amount I contribute?
Feeling uncomfortable can be a normal and potent part of the practice. The relationship with money is often entangled with feelings of deservingness and self-worth. We invite you to see any discomfort not as a failure, but as valuable information, a mirror to a pattern ready to be examined. This is part of the work, and we are here to guide you through it.
How is this pricing model a part of the therapeutic work?
By consciously engaging with contribution, you engage in authentic communication, assessing your needs, and confronting limiting beliefs. It’s an act of embodied practice, an integral part of the deep inner work of the retreat itself.
How are fixed costs handled?
Fixed costs for essentials like your private accommodation, meals, and airport transfers are outlined clearly and covered at cost. Your separate payment for our facilitation and guidance is what conscious contribution is all about.
How do I make the contribution?
We prefer transfers via Wise.
Psilocybin Journeys
How do you ensure safety during psilocybin journeys?
Your well-being is our absolute priority. Safety is ensured through a thorough screening process, the use of high-quality mushrooms in carefully considered doses, a protected and calm setting, and continuous one-on-one guidance from our experienced facilitators throughout the entire experience.
What does a psilocybin journey with you involve?
Each journey is a unique and therapeutically focused experience. It begins with dedicated preparation and intention setting. The experience itself usually takes place lying down comfortably with a sleep mask to encourage introspection. Afterwards, we allow ample time for rest, reflection, and integration. It is a therapeutic experience designed for inner exploration.
What form of psilocybin do you use?
We use whole psilocybin mushrooms that are locally and consciously grown in Mexico by a trusted provider. Our focus is on non-commercial, respectfully cultivated medicine.
What doses of psilocybin are used?
We work with small, carefully considered doses to facilitate a therapeutic, not recreational, experience. We believe in a gentle, respectful approach to the medicine. You can learn more in our Ethics Guide.
Are journeys done individually or in groups?
Nearly all journeys are facilitated individually or for couples. We only accommodate small, pre-existing private groups (like families or close friends) who intend to journey together.
Are there any medical or psychological contraindications?
Yes. Your safety is paramount. We conduct a thorough, confidential screening, and **we require you to consult with your physician prior to any psychedelic experience**. Certain pre-existing conditions (like a personal or family history of psychosis) or medications (like MAOIs, lithium, and potentially SSRIs) can be contraindications. It is vital to disclose all relevant history during your screening. This is not medical advice; our screening and your doctor's consultation are the key assessments for suitability.
What happens if I have a challenging experience?
Challenging moments, though not common in our settings, are a potential part of the process. Our experienced facilitators are trained to provide compassionate and professional support, using gentle techniques to help you navigate the experience safely. We believe challenging moments often arise for a reason and hold valuable lessons.
Tantra Practices
What specific practices are involved in your Tantra sessions?
Our Tantric practices are diverse and may include breathwork, conscious touch exercises (always consensual and non-sexual), mindful movement, relational exercises to foster connection, and energy exchange practices, all aimed at expanding awareness and embodiment.
Are Tantric practices suitable for everyone?
Yes, much like yoga, the Tantric practices we share are designed to be suitable and adaptable for all levels of experience, all ages, for singles, and for couples. The approach is always respectful and tailored to you.
Yoga & Meditation
What style of yoga do you offer?
We offer classic Hatha yoga in the lineage of Maha Sadhana, as taught by Sri Dharma Mittra. Sessions are always adaptable to your level of experience.
What kind of meditation will we do?
We guide various forms of meditation, including practices from the Osho tradition and our own developed style, all suited for enhancing introspection and presence.
Preparation & Logistics
What is the food like?
Cuisine is an integral part of your experience. Meals are holistic, vibrant, and delicious, prepared by a private chef using fresh, local ingredients. We specialize in vegan and vegetarian cuisine and cater to all your individual dietary needs.
How long are the retreats?
Retreats are fully customizable. We generally recommend a minimum of 3 days to allow for proper preparation, experience, and integration, but we are open to discussing any duration that suits your needs.
How much preparation is needed before a retreat?
Preparation depends on your prior experience and intentions. We provide personalized guidance during our discovery call and in our communications to help you prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically.
What are the accommodation options?
We partner with trusted providers of private jungle casitas and villas in the Tulum area. These are private, tranquil sanctuaries chosen for their beauty and serenity. We discuss the best option for you during our discovery call.
What is a typical daily schedule like?
Because each retreat is highly individualized, there is no fixed schedule. We co-create a general rhythm with you that balances guided sessions with personal time for rest and reflection, all aligned with your intentions.
What should I bring?
We will provide a suggested packing list. Generally, bring comfortable clothing suitable for a tropical setting, yoga, and relaxation.
Do you arrange airport transfers?
Yes, we arrange private, safe transfers to and from Cancun (CUN) or Tulum (TQO) airport with our vetted partners. This is a fixed cost that you would cover directly.
What languages are retreats offered in?
Retreats are primarily offered in English. Our facilitators are also fluent in Russian and Ukrainian, and can provide support in intermediate Spanish.
Post-Retreat & Ongoing Support
What kind of support is offered after the retreat?
Integration is key to lasting change. We include at least one online meeting after your retreat to support your transition. More sessions are always encouraged for deeper integration.
What do ongoing support packages include?
For those seeking continued guidance, our support packages offer a complete program for your personal evolution, including regular online meetings for holistic wellness coaching, nutritional advice, and psychological well-being support.
