I just returned from a life changing experience at Life Synergy’s November mushroom retreat. For the last 12 years since my husband’s unexpected death, having tried Psychiatrists, anti-depressants, meditating, etc., I’ve been caught in an endless cycle of pain from which I could not break free. Juan and his caring facilitators helped me to heal and view the world from a different perspective. I feel lighter and more optimistic. I had a classic therapeutic psilocybin experience. I felt very safe the entire retreat. For me, it was the right balance of optional activities, free time and the therapy. An unexpected benefit of the retreat were the other participants. They were all smart, kind, accomplished marvelous people who I now call friends. There was a strong feeling of “we’re in this together” that was therapy in itself. I feel deeply, deeply grateful. Thank you Juan and my precious new friends. Martha

Juan and his team of compassionate, experienced professionals created a life changing experience for me, and I am forever grateful. I enjoyed my time with him, Tatiana, Michelle, and Sadi do much that this is my third trip to his retreat. The jungle location was perfect and the food was super delicious. I will definitely return in the future with friends.

I participated in a Life Synergy retreat two years ago. I have waited to write my review so I could comment on the lasting impact of the experience. I cannot say enough good things about Life Synergy, Juan, and the experience as a whole. I highly recommend doing a retreat with Life Synergy. First, the whole experience felt very safe, well-planned, and thoughtful. It is clear that Juan genuinely cares about the participants and has a passion for healing. The shamans that hosted us were kind, compassionate, and deeply committed. As for the experience itself, it was emotionally challenging and extremely enriching and cathartic. So much came up for me during the days of the retreat, enough insightful content to continue to contemplate years into the future. The visuals and insights that I experienced continue to inspire and guide me. The experience was deeply meaningful in a lasting way. It facilitated key healing and has been a catalyst for major positive changes in my life. Thank you so much to Life Synergy for offering this experience.

Where do I begin.. I had the pleasure of spending near two weeks with Juan, the owner of Life Synergy retreat. And it was both a lovely and informative experience. As a teacher in yoga and nutrition, I was invited to participate in a retreat week, alongside the guests for a psilocybin mindset -reset. There was incredible attention to detail throughout the week’s itinerary, from meals, daily practices and local traditions. The intimacy of the experience was a highlight for me, as Juan keeps the groups rather small. This allows for deeper connection and the encouragement to break outside your comfort zone. I was able to bond and learn from the other facilitators, as well as find genuine friendship with the participants. I’ve been to various retreats in recent years and this one ranked high for me. If you’re in search of a transformative, lasting experience I highly recommend Life Synergy. Very great full for the hospitality and memories during my stay ???

If you are thinking about going on a Life Synergy retreat I recommend you go for it. From our initial phone call on WhatsApp I got a positive feeling - even though I was in the U.K. and Juan was in Mexico. So I booked on. I’ll explain why I’m very glad I did … Juan and his very talented team knows exactly what works and what doesn’t. We visited some parts of the Riviera Maya that tourists don’t get to see and met some people we ordinarily wouldn’t have flying in from afar. I deliberately wont go into detail because I don’t want to spoil the magic of the retreats. Especially the ceremonial parts. Also there are also some nice little touches that led me to think a lot of thought and care went into the retreat. Trustworthy, kind and calm. Thank you.

I went in December of 2023 and had a truly life changing experience. Juan has built a team that is committed to their mission of healing. My group, the natural setting, and the well-arranged schedule all contributed to making this as meaningful as I could imagine.

Just completed my second mushroom journey with Juan and his brilliant colleagues. I am overjoyed with both experiences and highly, highly recommend that you treat yourself to this beautiful retreat! Both times, I went alone and returned with new friends from around the world as well as a new perspective on life. Go for it!!

I truly enjoyed my experience on this retreat. The program was well-organized, the food was delicious, and the hotel was decent and in a nice location (close to the beach and entertainment). Also transportation felt safe and secure. Juan and the team are very professional and caring people. Definitely recommend!
