Why a Week Retreat?

A good question. Why not pop down for the weekend, take a single ceremony and go home? The answer is that any ‘ah ha’ moments you experience during that one ceremony will probably vanish with the morning mist. Work an entire week, take Ayahuasca three times, receive three complementary therapies that deepen your experience further and get the clarity needed to integrate those ‘ah ha’ moments. Integration is about changes in perception and unconditional self-responsibility. Healing is about acceptance, gratitude and trust.

Bluestone retreats take place at a property located in the jungle on the outskirts of Cancun; a space of timeless beauty and source energy. The air shimmers with bird song, monkeys fly through the trees and the light of a million stars brighten the night. The property blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings and features an elegant maloca, a temazcal with deep presence and a pool like an extension of the jungle itself.

Guest rooms are spacious, fitted with private bathrooms, ceiling fans, air-conditioning and wifi. The retreats are private: only participants, team and staff share the premises.

Why Cancun?

The cultures of Mexico and South America have been working with sacred plant medicines for eons. To them we owe our knowledge of their unique healing properties. Medicine men and women of wide experience and deep training are found here. Some are natives working within their own cultural traditions, others apprentice with native medicine men. La Medicina is a calling and a way of life and yet another element native to these lands.

On a more pedestrian note, Cancun and the Riviera Maya are easy-to-reach destinations for Americans, Canadians and Western Europeans, millions of whom visit each year. Mexico is the foreign country that’s not so foreign and the Cancun International Airport receives flights from major cities across the globe. Services are second-to-none, the people open and warm and the nurturing frequencies of sea and jungle contribute mightily to healing work of every kind.
