EXCELLENT Based on 63 reviews Aaron Enright2024-11-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolutely phenomenal and life changing experience! Every one of the team were professional, friendly and genuinely caring. It was clear that every one of them were there because they wanted to help you on your journey. Massive thanks to Paco, Naritza, Freddy, Francia, Cecil, Javier (I know that’s not everyone) who made this a memorable 4 days in so many ways. Chef Hugo created incredible, healthy and nourishing meals throughout or stay - the best for we had during our stay in Mexico. Set in stunning surroundings, we received the mental preparation required to get the most out of the mushroom ceremony. The surroundings, the sound track and the support during the ceremony was phenomenal and ensured it was positive and healing in every way possible. Having had some previous experiences with mushrooms (all of which have been good) this still easily surpassed those and was by easily the most intense, invigorating experience to date. Without a doubt, this retreat is the gold standard - you won't regret your decision to attend. We’ll be back sometime in the future. constance Rhodes2024-10-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I felt safe, secure and held in loving arms throughout my wonderful stay at Sayulita Wellness. I was finally able to achieve a cathartic release in my journey forward and I highly recommend this if you are willing to work through your pain. Cô Mimi D2024-10-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A dream come trueeeeee! I was so terrified to step out of my comfort zone and into this incredible healing journey. But, oh my gosh, I’m so glad I did! Caleigh, you’re a lifesaver! Your kind words and support gave me the courage to take this leap of faith. For years, I've been lost in the darkness, struggling to be my authentic self. I had no more trust in the world-- let along trust in myself. This retreat was a game-changer! The amazing mentors and care team were so incredibly supportive and understanding. I felt SAFE, LOVED, and truly SEEN. Huge shout-out to my earth sisters, Ceci, Francia, Martiza, Nirvana, Dr. Naomi, Martha, Mariana, Carley, and Demelza. You all brought so much light and laughter to the experience. And to my earth brothers, Javier, Francisco, Alex, Charley, Fredy, and especially Chef Hugo ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – your passion for health and delicious food was inspiring!!! Every meal was a intentional culinary masterpiece. I felt soooo lucky to be eating each and every meal! I felt like I was on the set of "Princess Diaries"! 💖 This retreat has taught me the power of self-love and the importance of taking care of myself. I'm so grateful for this incredible experience and the lifelong friendships I've made. If you’re considering a healing retreat, I highly recommend Sayulita Wellness. It's a truly transformative experience. Thank you everybody for this experience!!! Thank you for all that you do for the humans on planet earth. LOVE YOURSELF SWEET EARTHLINGS, always!

Maritza and the rest of the staff are wonderful Kristen Sadaka2024-10-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maritza, Paco, Caci were absolutely amazing they took such wonderful care of me! I honestly can say this was the most amazing experience of my life. I believe it was even more amazing because of the care that was given to me. I felt supportive and loved the whole time! Maritza spent quality time with me during the day while Caci stayed with me as I was on my mushroom journey. She held a space for me and made me feel loved! If you're looking to release, pain, trauma, and to set yourself free from emotional stress, this is the place for you!! Nika Ciarfella2024-10-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at Sayulita Wellness far exceeded my expectations. I came into it with some hesitation, but by day two, I was completely blown away. Caleigh assured me this would be the case and she was not wrong. The staff were not only extremely professional, but they also made me feel like part of a family, always taking the time to patiently answer every question and ensure that each guest felt fully supported. Throughout the entire 7-day retreat, there was never a moment when I felt like I was lacking anything. Their attention to detail and genuine care made the experience truly unforgettable. The staff, where can one start? These are incredibly gifted, living and talented folks. Each and every one from the core team (Maritza, Francia and Cecei & Paco), to the house Manager, Javier, to the incredible, unbelievable chef created, “to die for” healthy meals crafted by Hugo & Freddy, to the love compassion and support shown by the incredible energy that is Nirvana and her entire team to include the lovely Alejandra. The depth of wisdom this entire staff embodies and imparts is exceptional. There is also an incredible bevy of outside experts and consummate professional that are brought in to facilitate yoga, breath work, somatics, hypnotherapy, CBT, among other healing modalities. I will never forget these people as they truly left an imprint. Honestly to sum it up in a nutshell, I cannot wait for my next visit to Sayulita Wellness where I know I will be loved and supported through my continued journey towards healing and becoming a better version of myself. Brandy Pierce2024-10-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This retreat was the most amazing experience. I went in with set intentions and came out with even more than I could have ever imagined. The staff became family, the other guests became soulfully connected to us. The ceremony was nothing like I imagined, but exactly what I needed. Nirvana helped me free myself from all I'd been holding on to from lifetimes and generations of pain and sorrow. She and the staff helped me heal myself and they will be forever connected to my soul. The food was amazing! The location was perfect, the other events were scheduled to help facilitate this healing. If you are struggling with anything and I mean anything I recommend doing this one thing for yourself. I guarantee you will not regret it! Kerry pietrini2024-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attending the retreat was a transformative experience beyond words. Initially, my intent was clear, but what unfolded was unexpected yet profoundly healing. Through the journey, I unearthed and released unknown grief, allowing me to move forward with clarity and purpose. The facilitators provided a safe and supportive environment, guiding us through the journey with expertise and compassion. Maristza, my care taker was incredible during my journey. I felt so safe and supported. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. Incredible food, staff and views. Already planning my next trip back. Highly recommend for anyone seeking profound healing and transformation. Alisa Piette2024-09-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel so grateful to have found this incredible retreat. The space the food and the people make this a one of a kind experience. Thank you Nirvana, Alejandra, Francia, Norma, Paco, Maritza, Hugo, Cecelia, Javier and Freddie. The Hypnotherapy with Demelza, the Yoga with Marianna, sound bath with Sophie, and the breath work, Yoga Nedra and Somatics with Carly were layered so beautifully to enhance our experience. They were all excellent instructors. The pools and beach were right downstairs-and hearing the waves all day and night was heavenly- as were the massages that were included. Thank you everyone.

Recent Wellness Retreat Experiences
[Intention: Overcome PTSD, depression, and anxiety]
Here is a review from a review skeptic:
RUN!! Do not walk, run TO a Sayulita Wellness Center retreat as fast as you can.
My life, my heart and my soul are forever changed, happier, and healthier as a result.
I cannot adequately express how loved, cared for, supported, informed and healed I felt before, during, and still after by this amazing group of people. Their hearts are bigger than life. Their desire and passion to serve, heal and nurture was like nothing I have ever experienced. True service above self. The joy they emanate and the joy they purposefully share is palpable and contagious. Their willingness to open their hearts to heal me and our whole group was unexpected and shocking, in the best ways. I will forever be in gratitude for each and every one of them.
Denis and Norma are angels. They cooked us delicious meals that paired perfectly with our activities and needs. They loved all over us, every minute, every day. They made us presents!, made sure to make delicious cakes to celebrate one of our birthdays, and constantly looked for ways to make our experience more comfortable and wonderful. During the psilocybin ceremony they tended to each of our needs and made sure we knew we were loved and safe. It was incredible how they were always close by and looking to help. I cannot say enough about how amazing Denis and Norma are.
Keeley and Pedro, the psychotherapists, did more for me in the 2 sessions that I had separately with each of them (4 total in 8 days) than I accomplished in decades of on/off therapy. I could not articulate what I wanted out of this experience, except that I wanted to be free of depression and anxiety, feel whole and be able to share the outrageous amounts of love in my heart. They helped me get to the root of my challenges and what was in the way. They helped me set intentions for the ceremony so I could process and let go of my pain, that I had been holding in my heart for 50 years, so I could let the love in and out. It was life changing. Even after the retreat, they continue to support me to keep building and integrating my new, beautiful life going forward. They are so different from one another and they compliment each other so well. I felt heard for the first time in my life. They each saw me, my heart, my traumas, and wanted to truly help me feel whole. They are incredible.
Nirvana and Charly are true healers. They are love. They are givers. They are everything. They changed my life by showing me that giving all you have to others, even strangers initially, is the only way to live. Their willingness to share their: Lives, culture, knowledge, gifts, challenges, and successes was so genuine. They gave us the relationships they built with others who cared for us and served us so beautifully. They changed my life in every possible positive way.
From the first moment I signed up to this second now writing this review, they are with you in person and spirit. Always available and ready to help you on your journey.
Do it!! Surrender to it all!
You will be so glad you did!
Namaste 🙏
[Intention: Find self love, acceptance, and direction]
Man it was the best experience of my life. To say it was amazing would be an understatement. It was life changing, it was exactly what I needed at that exact point in my life. It has showed me a way and I feel determined to follow it. I was lost and now I am found. This experience really helped my vision of what I want my life to be like. Happy and full of love and forgiveness! Truly grateful for everyone involved.
I would love to return one day for another journey! Loved every minute of it!! Thank you so so so much!
[Intention: Get back in control of my life, heal bipolar disorder, fatigue, depression, and anxiety]
“Before taking the program things were pretty bad like one of the lowest points in my life, as a successful as i’ve been in business my mental health gone. I was not having energy, having headaches all the time, having a hard time managing my stress and emotions.
After the experience I have a lot more peace and calm in my personal life and just feel happier overall. The program primes you to you understand yourself and make better decisions based off your core values.
It’s one of the best investments i’ve ever made.It’s kept me stabilized, focused and clear on my goals in life.
If you’re considering it I would say just go ahead and invest in yourself now”
[Intention: Overcome treatment resistant depression]
“First off I have to say I’m a natural sceptic…but I’ve kind of thrown the kitchen sink at my mental health…therapy, meds, disassociation, alcohol. I was at a point where I had done everything I could think to do. I believe this is the point when you should try plant medicine.
The onboarding was great..everyone felt really warm and supportive. I’m always kind of worried I won’t fit in.
We had a lot of opportunities to learn about the medicine and unpacked a lot with the guides before the ceremony. I honestly think I got just as much from the 1-1 and group training as I did with the medicine. The mushrooms were pretty eye opening…I saw my path laid in front of me, confronted relationships with my family and relationships from my past. Some of it was difficult but I felt really connected to myself so it just kind of melted. After the mushroom the Bufu took me to the next level. I honestly wasn’t expecting much from it.. I was there mainly for the mushroom ceremony, but Jesus Christ…I have never felt so alive..I experienced what I would call a transcendent awakening..where I saw the pieces of myself come back together. It was really special. I feel forever grateful for the practitioners for holding a safe and supportive space.. they were really easy to talk to and accessible when I needed them. Overall and my mental health is at one the best places its been and I thank Sayulita Wellness Retreat for this. 5/5 stars…I will be back.”
[Intention: Overcome anxiety, depression, PTSD]
“Coming to Sayulita Wellness Retreat was a major leap of faith for me because I was very skeptical and distrustful about this alternative therapy model; but I knew I needed help! I am very successful professionally but I had lots of anxiety & depression in my life and I was stuck in my head.
I had been researching plant medicine assisted-therapy centers all over -Amsterdam, Jamaica, Mexico and the USA; but none seemed right. I had found another center in Sayulita, Mexico; and even attended a zoom call which was great, but something did not feel right.
Somehow, I kept coming back to SWC so, one night before I went to bed, I reached out. To my surprise, I got a text within 5 minutes! I was stunned but very anxious, so I deferred to the next day. When I spoke with Andrew the next day, I made it known that trust was fundamental to me and that it all seemed too good to be true! He was very patient and put me at ease right away by answering all of my questions very calmly. He even connected me with other alumni clients. I waited a few days and devoured all the information on their web site. Although my mind was giving me all kinds of warnings, SWC felt right! So, I took the plunge and I booked myself for the next retreat.
Wow! This was the best gift I have ever given to myself! I have undergone a fundamental shift of mindset & attitude and set on a journey of self-discovery & joy. Truly transformational!
SWC is truly unique! The holistic program helped me gradually condition my mind, body & soul to undergo this mystical spiritual experience. The camaraderie, love, sharing and 1:1 session with Andrew opened my mind and eased my anxiety; the nutrition, exercise, yoga and massage therapy plus beautiful ocean conditioned my body for the ceremonies. The magical plant medicines together with the love, care, guidance and mystical connection I experienced with Nirvana & Charly before, during and after the ceremonies were transcendental.
I am forever grateful to Andrew, Nirvana, Charly, our amazing Chef -Omar, our talented yoga instructor – Nikki, our magical hypnotherapist -Andrea and our wise sound therapist -Victor for this gift of life. I have tapped into an everlasting source of energy & love that has launched me into another dimension of living. I can’t wait to go back soon!”

We have the highest-value real estate in all of Mexico. We’re a few miles from Four Seasons and other 5-star resorts, and Sayulita is known for being a great place to raise a family. With community development, such as libraries, private schools, and family-centered events, the community has become very safe with virtually no crime.
We also vet our drivers and team members to ensure that every step of your journey to and from our facility is safe and secure.
No, everything we offer is optional and designed to provide you with the best transformational experience possible. Our schedule is full of activities.
All rooms are private rooms with locks unless otherwise specified.
The 7-day and 4-day retreats have the same outcome: an incredible, safe, and profound transformation. We structured the 4-day retreat because many busy executives, lawyers, doctors, and business owners wanted to come to a retreat but didn’t have time in their schedule for a 7-day experience. If you look at our testimonials on the main page, about half of them came to a 4-day retreat!

A typical macro dose is 3.5 grams of dried psilocybin mushrooms. When you arrive, you have a consultation with our providers to determine the best dose for your treatment. There are 3 main factors our providers will consider when it comes to determining dosing.
1. Body weight
2. Tolerance
3. Significance of experience there to heal.
The macro dose before the treatment is ground up, weighed on a digital scale, and mixed with orange juice for fast and even uptake.
During a treatment experience after the recommended dose has been administered, if the participant wants to extend the experience or increase the intensity, the providers can offer another 1.5 grams as a booster dose.
All rooms are private rooms with locks unless otherwise specified.
A macro dose of psilocybin is a profound experience that takes weeks to integrate. It becomes counterproductive to offer them back-to-back. Psilocybin creates an instant tolerance as well, where your tolerance can double after a single experience.
To create the best experience for our participants, we offer 2x micro doses and 1x macro dose sessions. After this, the focus is on the integration of the transformational experience.
Yes! 4 weeks of aftercare is included with every Retreat. You’ll meet with your psychotherapist for 1-1 accountability and support calls after the Retreat to ensure you maintain the progress and commitments you make after you head back home.
Yes, all our retreats are all-inclusive. This means we cover everything from pickup to drop-off for each experience. The only thing you need to cover is airfare or transportation to the Puerto Vallarta area.
All our retreats include complimentary private, secure transportation to and from the airport or local hotel/Airbnb. Once you send us your travel information, we send the info to our driver, and he reaches out to you to coordinate the pickup. If you’re flying into PVR, he will be there waiting with a sign with your name. Then, he’ll bring you straight to our private gated facility, where you’ll meet the team and begin your transformation!
In Mexico, we are legally protected by Article 195 bis of the Federal Penal Code (https://mexico.justia.com/federales/codigos/codigo-penal-federal/libro-segundo/titulo-septimo/capitulo-i/) which specifies that authorities can’t prosecute you if the psilocybin mushrooms are used for traditional spiritual practices or ceremonies. Psilocybin mushrooms have a rich history of use among indigenous Mexicans for the purposes of spiritual growth, healing, and divination, and 2 of our providers are from indigenous tribes.
