TESTIMONIALS

I couldn't fault anything about the retreat, the accommodation was cosy and clean, the setting was beautiful and the food was all delicious (very healthy but also there was masses of it). However what made it so special were the people. Tapovan, Carla and Mano have created such an incredible healing experience and have put so much thought and care into creating a mind, body and soul-expanding timetable of activities that enable you to go deep into yourself and gain the most from the medicine. Tapo brings so much knowledge about the body and mind, Carla has the perfect mix of a Psycology degree but also looking beyond at the energetics and alternative therapies. Together, and with Mano, they create the perfect safe space to heal and get the most from the medicine and the other workshops we did. I always felt I could talk to them about anything that came up and they gave amazing advice. At first it can be hard to be so vulnerable with a group of strangers but Tapo and Carla create an environment where you feel comfortable and within the first day the group felt like family. They've been great at following up after the retreat too to see how we're doing and give advice on how to Intergrate back into 'normal' life. Would 100% recommend and I really hope I'll be back in the future!

ZoeHighly Transformative Experience

What an amazing experience! I am truly inspired - a part of me that I was not aware of - has been awakened! To be able to see life from a whole new perspective, while being in such a safe and loving atmosphere, made this journey unbelievably special. The food was delicious, the music guiding our experience - absolutely mind-blowing and our teachers - turned new family are so wise, caring and insightful. Thank you so much for everyone who was part of this experience! Beyond grateful for all the love we were shown, and the connections that were made.

KrisI am reborn!

It's hard to describe the amazing and transformational experience I had during my time there. The entire team is super knowledgeable and absolutely amazing!! They made us feel safe, heard and connected. The retreat is located in the mountains, just outside of Mexico City. The location is beautiful, the food was fresh and delicious and all the activities planned for us were exactly what we needed to assist us with our growth and evolution . Mano offers on site massages and I can easily say that it was the best massage I have ever had in my life!
Not to mention the amazing humans I met there... Our group immediately bonded and took care of each other, those perfect strangers feel like family to me now. From the cab ride there to the amazing guidance we have received to the beautiful shamanic songs during the Ayahuasca ceremonies, Temazcal and much more, I would 100% highly recommend this retreat to anyone who's ready to find their true selves and transform. We are actually already planning to return.

KarinaThank you for an amazing life changing experience!

This retreat exceeded my expectations in every way. The setting alone is worth the trip. Located in the small mountain town of Tepoztlan, the property is full of gardens and fruit trees, and has a flowing stream. The views all around are unreal.The ceremonies are very special with extremely talented musicians and of course strong medicine. I wasn’t sure what I needed when I went here but was just feeling very off. Mano, Tapovan, and the team really know how to help you heal. They spend alot of time with each person in a group setting and also individually and are always available to talk. There’s alot of love here. I left this place feeling so much better than when I arrived and could see the change in everyone else as well. It was just what I needed. Very greatful and highly recommend this retreat.

LukeBeautiful

It's impossible to put in to words how incredible retreat was. It was very well-organized and structured. All the practices built on one another, resulting in a transformative wholistic experience. It's obvious that a lot of thought, attention, and care went into the planning and execution of the experience. Tapovan guided us to do our inner work, which was not always easy but I felt safe and supported throughout. Mano had an ancient, rooted wisdom that carried the ceremony and Juan took us places with the beauty of his spirit coming through his music. Carla's unique integrated approach of psychology and spirituality helped us ground and glean insights from our experiences The food was also fantastic and prepared with care. I felt more energy and did not feel deprived with this clean diet.

LauraIndescribable Life Changing Experience

If you're looking for a transformational experience to shift your perspective on life and what's possible, this is that experience. The organizers of the retreat, Tapovan and Mano, are true practitioners of yoga, meditation, and living with intention. They created an atmosphere of connection and acceptance for everyone who attended. The group bonded very quickly and easily, like we'd already known each other for a long time. While the ceremonies were challenging for many of us on a physical and emotional level, the shaman and others who guided the experiences are masters of creating a space of peace and personal exploration. I really enjoyed the balance of yoga and meditation along with the ceremonies, and learned many new practices to carry forward. I've noticed lasting changes since the retreat and it really opened me up to a more inspired way of being. For me it was exactly what I was looking and hoping for. If you attend, I wish the same for you.

KipThis is the one!

I attended Tapovan and Mano’s retreat in January 2022. The two of them and their partners of spiritual leaders and musicians that join the group are a beautiful team. They provided us with all of the tools we needed in order to have a profound, everlasting, and successful journey. I am so grateful for the teachings, leadership, and intimacy that they created for us and with us. I would deem this retreat as a pivotal moment in my life and will likely return regularly. Many, many thanks to all who made this happen. I am absolutely in love with every person I crossed paths with on this journey.
