Not necessarily! We welcome people who are on psychiatric medication, though we do ask that you consult a healthcare provider prior to attending this retreat to double-check the safety.

You may also schedule an appointment with an RTH provider prior to proceeding.

Foreigners sometimes fear Mexico. While danger is always a risk, and while certain parts of the country should be avoided, the places that tourists venture within Mexico City and the retreat location are typically safe.

As with any place, it’s a good idea to travel in groups if possible, explore during the daytime, and stay mindful of pickpockets.

The scary news about violent crime in Mexico is almost always in border towns. We will be in Central Mexico – far, far away from the border.

Mexico is a large country that spans several different climates. That’s why we have more than one retreat location, and plan our retreat dates and venues according to the climate.

Don’t worry – we’ll guide you on what clothes to pack for your retreat depending on the location and time of year.

Doing this work abroad allows us to customize the experience to each participant’s needs, with less red tape and lower overheads. It also allows us to weave in the traditions of the local culture.

Plant medicines native to Mexico have a rich history of use among indigenous people.

Article 195 bis of the Federal Penal Code respects the use of mushrooms for traditional spiritual practices or ceremonies, and members our staff include indigenous Mexicans who are authorized to transport and handle the medicines they work with.

To stay in compliance with all rules and regulations, the retreat fee does not include the medicine itself.

The medicine is transported, handled, and administered by a local curandero  or marakame, whom you will pay directly. (We’ll provide more details upon registration, but don’t wory – it’s very affordable.)
