We are happy to add Paledora Tulum Jungle Retreat to our family of paradise. Our Grounded Retreats offer the same quality, safety, love and support that over 400+ guests have found to be of immense value in the last 4 years. However, the retreat center is in the jungle rather than on the ocean and the accommodations are more on the “clean & simple” side. It’s for nature lovers who want to adventure into a sweat lodge or chat about their journey around a fire, yet still enjoy A/C in their room at the end of the night.
Guests: 15 max
This retreat center has shared room accommodations, a large pool, sweat lodge, shared workshop spaces, and a lot of beauty from the jungle.
Great Wifi Throughout the Property

Expansion…well, it keeps on getting BETTER! Expansion Retreats were born out of a desire from some of our guests to truly have the one-on-one attention they need.

You’ll be guided through a 3-month container that includes your Small Group retreat. This retreat is for those wanting and willing to go as deep as possible in a truly intimate environment

Amanda’s goal as a Psychedelic Leader & Guide is to bring a warm, caring service to humanity. She serves unique medicine not only to guests, but also facilitators in their growth and development, education and well-being. She serves by showing people their true nature, where they’ve lost connections and by giving them the tools to continue the daily work outside of the retreat setting. As an advocate of the safe, responsible use of psychedelics, she strongly supports the use of medicine traditions surrounding their ancient healing.
Amanda plays many roles; retreat producer, leader, facilitator, joke maker and shaman-in-training. She just may provide you with a song or two during ceremony.
She is a highly intuitive guide and has trained, assisted and facilitated in over 500 psychedelic ceremonies using ayahuasca, San Pedro (Huachuma cactus), psilocybin, cannabis, tobacco, and rapé.
Amanda brings a seasoned, varied and light-hearted approach to even deep medicine work.
