Mushroom Vision Quest

Humanity has always been fascinated with altred states of consciousness; we can see it in the oldest scriptures, from ‘soma' in vedic texts to ayahuasca in Amazonian rainforest and pre-dating it all, the Algerian cave paintings of a mushroom shaman. Nearly all the ancient tribes had something in common: they all worked with some sort of plant medicine used in a ceremonial way.

At our hidden jungle Eco-Community, we aim to bring that knowledge forward in a gentle and accessible way, to show you how all these practices, that are on the rise in the west, can illuminate a deeper transformation through the use of subtle, or even sub-perceptual mind alteration.

That’s where the revolutionary idea to weave together plant medicine and conscious movement, sound and breath came to life. As you immerse yourself in a five day long program of daily yoga, meditation, breathwork and sound journeys, we will provide the missing elements, and guide you on this deep exploration of what’s possible.

During these days, you’ll get to stay in a conscious community, nestled deep un the jungle outside Tulum. With the help of grandfather plant Huachuma and Kai Kai Kuna (Taj Mahal mushroom), we will open ourselves in a sensual embrace of mother Earth, Gaia, and learn to experience our reality in profoundly different ways.

The retreat is facilitated by an international group of healers, chefs and teachers. We choose to work with smaller groups to make an experience more intimate and personalized and we encourage the development of skills that you can use as tools beyond the days of the retreat.

We believe it requires bravery to step out of the traditional constructs of globalized monoculture and step into alternative systems grounded in the reality of what is possible when we align ourselves to the wisdom and power of Nature. To activate our roots as children of Gaia and remind us of our responsibility to live symbiotically with the source from which all life originates.

Below is our daily activities list giving each day has its own tone, but nothing is ever set in stone we set a general guideline but ask you be open to changes.

This retreat will be facilitated by Harmonic Hearts - Akasha and Kira, who are traveling yogis and sound healers, dedicating their lives and practice to living and sharing the feelings of joy, abundance, and ease. They combine many different techniques learned all around the world in their daily practice and teachings, such as yoga asana, transformational breathwork, reiki, theta healing, pranayama, and subconscious repatterning.

Originally from California, they travelled to India for a year to live and work in ashrams and conscious communities, completing yoga teacher trainings in a traditional Indian ashram and an intensive Kundalini course. They have spent the past two years traveling with crystal alchemy and Tibetan singing bowls along with various other sound healing instruments. They have led sound baths, workshops, and trainings across the United States, India, Thailand, and Mexico.

The two together hold a balanced space of feminine and masculine energies in order to harmonize all that is within and all that is with out. They are passionate about using the most fundamental elements of vibration and breath to create space for people to connect with and explore the part of themselves that never dies. They aim to help people to see what lies on the other side of fear and to find out that they are capable of far more than they believe.
