A Sanctuary in Tulum

Amara Sanctuary is nestled in the lush jungle of Tulum, just minutes from the Caribbean coast. Here, amidst swaying palms, sacred cenotes, and the vibrant spirit of the Riviera Maya, you’ll find the perfect haven for transformation and connection.

This is where the Amara journey begins — a space where the wisdom of nature meets the sacredness of ceremony, offering both deep rest and vibrant awakening.

Reflections of healing, remembrance, and transformation.

Maria, Mexico

The space was held with deep presence and care. I felt completely safe to surrender and trust the medicine. The facilitators carried powerful, intuitive energy — creating a sacred, clean, and transformative experience.

— Toby Australia

Sofia, USA

I had been researching plant medicine for over 10 years and it was infinitely more beautiful and powerful than I could have ever hoped for or imagined. The work that was done during the Aya ceremony was like decades and decades of therapy in a day! During the whole retreat we were held in a very safe space, I loved the depth of community and depth of support. I can't imagine a more beautiful retreat.

— Renee, USA

Elena, Peru

My favorite part of the retreat was the Ayahuasca ceremony and the people. The love that I received was like mother love, it was incredible. I want to say huge thanks to Ivan and Pamela for their incredible ceremony. The cacao ceremony wow, I was in a heaven of love, a valentines day with myself. The retreat was like heaven. I highly recommend this retreat, if I could I would come to every one!

— Danish, UK

Gabriel, Brazil

Everything was perfect. Getting together, eating with everyone, it felt like family. Integration time, there was a lot of bonding. Being with Ayahuasca and being in that sacred place and the cacao ceremonies were so beautiful. People here right now are from all over the world, but it feels like we have known each other forever. You are going to meet a lot of beautiful people.

— Paola, USA

Lucia, Spain

It was amazing, I was blown away by everything, the people, the music, the accommodations, the ceremonies. In the Ayahuashca journey, the shamans took care of everyone, they were patient, attentive, down to earth, really good people. I believe setting makes such a difference and having all the care and difference. The experience was one of the most profound experiences of my life and I will be forever grateful!
