Reconnect with yourself through a deeply personal healing retreat in the peaceful Mayan jungle near Puerto Morelos, just 30 minutes from Cancun International Airport.
At Healing Ceremonies Mexico, we offer intimate 4-day and 6-day Ayahuasca retreats designed for those seeking emotional healing, greater clarity, and a deeper connection with themselves.
Rather than focusing on intensity or the number of ceremonies, we believe meaningful transformation happens through presence, safety, integration, and giving both the body and mind the time they need to heal.
Every retreat is intentionally limited to 2–6 participants.
Keeping our groups small allows us to truly know each participant, provide individual guidance, and create a calm, respectful environment where everyone feels seen, supported, and safe throughout their journey.
This personal approach is one of the reasons many guests choose our retreats over larger retreat centers.
Each retreat combines sacred plant medicine with practices that support both emotional healing and nervous system regulation.
Depending on the retreat you choose, your experience may include:
Every element of the retreat is thoughtfully designed to support not only the ceremonies themselves, but also the integration that follows.
Our retreat center is surrounded by the peaceful Mayan jungle, creating a quiet and natural environment where you can step away from everyday responsibilities and reconnect with yourself.
Between ceremonies, you’ll have time to rest in a hammock, walk through nature, enjoy nourishing meals, journal, meditate, or simply be present.
We believe that healing often happens in these quiet moments just as much as during ceremony.
We are Irena (Taran Krishna Kaur) and Stanley, partners in life and co-founders of Healing Ceremonies Mexico.
Every retreat is personally hosted by us from the moment you arrive until the day you leave. Together we guide ceremonies, prepare nourishing meals, lead Kundalini Yoga and meditation, support integration, and care for every aspect of the retreat experience.
Our work is grounded in personal experience, presence, compassion, and deep respect for every individual’s journey.
We believe that sacred medicine is not the healer—it simply opens a door. Real transformation begins afterwards, in the way we reconnect with our body, our relationships, and the life we choose to create each day.

Irena, Stanley and Jamie are the real-deal when it comes to a healing, plant-medicine retreat. The care and attention that was placed on each participant was exceptional. They take time to understand your purpose, current understanding of the medicines and what your intentions are. This is a deeply personal experience, and they validated, supported and allowed you to go through every stage of the medicines with understanding and dignity. The medicines are prepared and shared with respect and authenticity; the team works with you to ensure that everything you take is grounded in healing and personal growth. If you are looking for an inwardly reflective journey with true kindness, respect and outstanding food prepared to help you live the cleanest possible retreat, then this is the one to attend. The learning that I have taken away from this will help me to continue this journey even after returning home. I enjoyed the explanations of from the team on how the different medicines would help different aspects of my healing were outstanding and personal. I do feel humbled by this experience and have many new ways of exploring my future self – there are lessons that will continue as I move forward. Do not expect a resort experience – this is a retreat in the jungle with simple facilities for the habitations. This being said, the shared spaces are lovely and the food, as mentioned before, is outstanding. Just know that this is authentic and understand that your lodgings will reflect this.Review of 6 Day Ayahuasca & Healing Retreat in Mexico by JN – Incredibly Positive Experience

Deciding to attend the 6-day retreat with Irena and Stan in early April was, without question, the greatest gift of my lifetime. That sounds bigger than it should be, coming from someone who has had children and has married her soulmate, but by finally learning to love myself I can now have an even greater love for others. Irena has a rare and quiet ability to truly see people. She seemed to understand what each of us needed without us having to explain everything. That presence, combined with the deeply nourishing, healthy, and delicious food she prepared throughout the retreat, created a feeling of being genuinely cared for on every level. The meals were not just sustenance; they felt like part of the medicine. Stan holds the ceremonies with remarkable skill, steadiness, and protection. You can feel that he knows how to walk people through the work safely and with deep respect for the medicine. His presence allowed me to surrender more fully than I thought possible, knowing I was held and protected at every step. Jamie was a true friend throughout the retreat and someone I deeply admired alongside Irena and Stan. He checked in on me many times with genuine care, offering quiet support exactly when it was needed, and at one pivotal moment he gave me an answer that landed with perfect clarity. I came home changed — lighter, clearer, and more confident — and the insights have only continued to deepen in the months since. This retreat was not a single event for me. It was the beginning of an ongoing relationship with myself and with something greater. I will always be grateful that I found the generous souls of Stan, Irena and Jamie.
I keep meaning to write this review, but the experience has continued to unfold in such profound and beautiful ways that I kept waiting for it to feel “finished.” It has now been a little over four months, and I finally understand that this connection is not something that ends — it keeps evolving. So I’m writing this now, while the gratitude is still fresh and living in me.
I’m an Army veteran who was medically retired early from service due to many injuries sustained throughout my short career. As I exited the military, I felt a sense of loss of purpose. Along with many other challenges ranging from childhood trauma to my current age of 33. I was able to pinpoint things I need to work on, along with grief emotions I wasn’t able to in the States. It was a very safe space, and the jungle provided that sense of getting back to Mother Nature. I for sure would do this experience again and recommend everyone give the retreat a try. Thank you, Stan & Irena! I chose this retreat because they offered a wide variety of medicines that I wanted to try at least once to get a sense of all the medicines out there. Of course I was able to identify with some medicines and not others. Of course, though, I wanted to experience every single one. I believe if you’re looking for major healing, you might want to give every single medicine a shot to see which one you would gladly resonate with and would be able to connect with in future retreats. This retreat definitely felt like a major reset, from the surrounding area experience to the plant based food. Irena was a lovely cook. I felt this experience was a judgment-free zone. I was able to feel like a man. It’s very hard for a man to show or feel emotions in front of others. Stan is very heart-welcoming, you just feel safe in his presence, and he’s able to get a good read on the traumas and pain we’ve gone through. I would 10/10 recommend this retreat out in the “jungle”. Also, their groundskeeper Abaraham was a great young man. Very professional , and worked very hard. If you come to this retreat, make sure to show the young man some love and bless him with what your heart desires. He does a lot along with the hosts to give us a great experience. I respect all medicines throughout this retreat, but have found a connection and love for mother ayahuasca. Peace & love! Give them a try! I guess, personal observations. Don’t get into the experience with full expectations. Just go with the flow and get the experience of the SELVA.

My experience with Irena and Stan’s healing ceremonies in Mexico was truly beautiful and transformative. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed, safe, and deeply supported.
Their presence, guidance, and genuine care created a space where I could slow down, reconnect with myself, and explore parts of my inner world that I had been carrying for a long time. The ceremonies were deeply meaningful and gave me a sense of clarity, peace, and connection that stayed with me even after returning home.
I’m very grateful to Irena and Stan for the love, intention, and energy they bring to their work. They create a beautiful space for healing, reflection, and personal transformation.
Thank you both for this powerful experience and for everything you put into creating these ceremonies. I will carry the experience with me for a long time. ❤️
