Ayahuasca Retreat in Mexico

Begin Your Journey

Connection with Nature, in Comfort

If you're feeling the call to healing with the sacred Ayahuasca plant medicine, this is an opportunity to partake in a small group (or fully private) Ayahuasca Retreat in an environment built on safety, sovereignty, integrity, and trust. This particular Ayahuasca Retreat takes place in the Valle de Bravo (Valley of the Brave) region of central Mexico, just a couple hours from Mexico City and we can't wait for you to see the breath-taking surroundings.

We keep our Ayahuasca Retreats intimate because we're passionate about offering our guests the most focused, personalized, and effective healing experience possible. We believe that receiving sacred plant medicine in a small group of thoroughly-vetted guests (or even 1 on 1) can be the difference between just another psychedelic experience, or your life's turning point.

To help you get the most from your Ayahuasca retreat, Behold's team of diversely qualified therapists and coaches can guide you through a 1-on-1, 7-week Psychedelic Integration program to help you alchemize your Ayahuasca experience into life-long change. We also offer Integrative Health Coaching for those guests who want to reach their top physical shape before embarking on this journey of spiritual growth.

Valle de Bravo is one of the safest and most pristine areas of Mexico and is a favorite for nature lovers for its abundant fresh air, clean water, endless forests, and the beautiful Lake Avandaro. Valle de Bravo is also home to the world's largest Monarch butterfly sanctuary, who end their migration here every year from December to March.

Aside from our evening Ayahuasca ceremonies, there will be many beautiful offerings made available to you during the week, including daily breath-work, guided movement and meditation, a traditional sweat lodge ceremony, sharing circles, and tools for integration. Most importantly, we respect your right to take time for yourself, and all our offerings are completely voluntary - including the Ayahuasca experience. If you need a night off to rest and integrate, we respect your sovereignty. We're here to listen, adjust, and help you get exactly what you need from day to day.

We host our retreats with a few different partner retreat centers in the area depending on the season and availability. All of our venues are thoroughly vetted for safety, comfort, and conductivity for sacred medicine work.  Please request a discovery call to see where your preferred retreat dates will be facilitated.

Retreat Participant

The ayahuasca experience at Behold was far more than I even imagined. I was so supported and given numerous tools to take home for continuing and enhancing the ayahuasca message. The abundant generosity and caring was precious and very much from the heart.
