There is no minimum requirements of Jewishness to join us.

Non-Jewish allies and “Jewish adjacent” people (eg: those married to Jews) are also warmly welcome.

We are all Tribe.

This retreat is designed for Jews and Jewish allies.

All meals will be lacto-ovo-pescatarian. (No meat or shellfish will be served.) The facility does not have a certified kosher kitchen.

We will have a short kabbalat Shabbat on Friday evening and a brief summercamp-style Havdalah on Saturday night. You are welcome to initiate and lead more Jewish prayers, songs, and activities if you desire!

We kindly ask that you keep cellphones and other digital devices (including smart watches) out of sight during Shabbat.

Please note that we will be taking medicine, singing songs, and listening to music on Shabbat.

An art-based integration will be offered on Saturday, but if you are not comfortable with drawing on the Sabbath we can focus on talk- and body-oriented integration instead.

This event is open to people of all sexes & genders.

Yes, absolutely! We welcome both first-timers and experienced cosmonauts.

Two psilocybin sessions will be offered during the retreat, but there is no pressure to take more than feels right to you, or to consume the medicine in both ceremonies.

The first dosing session happens during the day, with each guest having their own space in the yard or in their room.

The second dosing session is at night, in the context of a group ceremony imbued with Mexica traditions and Hebrew songs.

We offer and support all dose ranges – from microdoses to heroic ones. Lemon tek, boosters, and other techniques will also be used as needed. Nobody will be pressured into taking more than feels right for them.

We do not enforce any upper limit on dosage, making this retreat a good choice for those who have never “broken through” before, or who are on medications that may blunt the effects.

Not necessarily! We welcome people who are on psychiatric medication, though we do ask that you consult a healthcare provider prior to attending this retreat to double-check the safety.

You may also schedule an appointment with an RTH provider prior to proceeding.

If you choose to attend this retreat loved ones, we will respect that choice and welcome you all. We may assign you separate bedrooms, depending on the venue.

We request that any interpersonal challenges or breakthroughs be shared with the circle so as to avoid “bubbles” or “cliques” from forming.

Non-participants are welcome to drop you off and pick you up from the retreat, but only registered retreat participants may stay on the premises during the retreat.

Exceptions are made for individuals with disabilities who require medical assistance.

We limit the group size to ensure potency and individualized care: our maximum capacity is 15 guests per retreat.

We aim to have at least 1 staff member present per 2 guests during dosing sessions.

The American perception of Mexico is that it’s a dangerous place, but Mexico is a vibrant country with a rich history and culture. Rest assured it isn’t just one giant Tijuana! Mexico is a vibrant country with a rich history and culture.

The places that tourists venture within Mexico City and the retreat location are quite safe.

Petty crime, such as pickpocketing or theft, can occur, especially in tourist areas, but serious crimes are less common than in most urban settings in the USA.

The scary news about violent crime in Mexico is almost always in border towns. We will be in Central Mexico – far, far away from all borders.

Mexico is a large country that spans several different climates.

October Weather in Tepoztlán Mexico includes daily high temperatures are around 78°F (25.5°C), rarely falling below 73°F or exceeding 83°F.

Daily low temperatures decrease by 5°F, from 58°F (14.5°C) to 54°F (12.2°C), rarely falling below 47°F or exceeding 62°F.

October falls during the rainy season of the region, during which time the days are warm and sunny, and we enjoy late afternoon thundershower that usually last under one hour and make the crickets come alive at night.

Doing this work abroad allows us to customize the experience to each participant’s needs, with less red tape and lower overheads. It also allows us to weave in the traditions of the local culture.

Psilocybin mushrooms have a rich history of use in Mexico among indigenous people.

Article 195 bis of the Federal Penal Code respects the use of mushrooms for traditional spiritual practices or ceremonies, such. as those held during our retreats.

To ensure everybody’s safety, we screen every prospective guest before inviting them to register.

7. Learn, grow, and heal with the Tribe in Mexico!

The cost-effective structure of RTH’s retreats is made possible by a few factors.

Our overheads are lower by avoiding bureaucratic red tape. Furthermore, this is not a luxury retreat. The facilities are clean but rustic, and the food is fresh, though simple.

The retreat is also in part subsidized by tax-deductible donations.

There are some folks who we are not set up to support at this time. They include:

• Individuals who are particularly dysregulated, frightened and/or in need of more gradual, one-on-one support;
• Individuals who need a lot of special exceptions or a highly controlled environment;
• Individuals who are unable to stop using substances like alcohol, cannabis, opiates, etc. for at least one week before the retreat begins and for the whole duration of the retreat;
• Those who need a very particular, strict diet (eg: dedicated gluten free kitchen, low FODMAPs, low histamine diets);
• Those who recently discontinued a psychiatric medication abruptly and have not fully stabilized;
• Those with entitled, socially preachy, or otherwise “high maintenance” personalities who are unwilling to examine these defense mechanisms;
• Those with medical contraindications to taking psychedelics

A deposit of one-third of the retreat fee is required at registration. We offer payment plans for the balance. The full amount must be paid at least one month before the start of the retreat.

Depending on how many donations we receive, we may have some scholarship opportunities available.

Donate to the scholarship fund here.

People who have had at least one 60-minute appointment with an RTH provider will be given registration priority.

If you’d like to become a client, please schedule your first tele-appointment today.

To stay in compliance with all rules and regulations, the retreat fee paid to Right to Heal does not include the medicine itself. 

The medicine is transported, handled, and administered by a local curandero  or marakame, whom you will pay directly. (We’ll provide more details upon registration, but don’t wory – it’s very affordable.)

Something that sets Right to Heal apart from other retreats is our emphasis on container.  

“Container” refers to the safe and supportive space in which guests can express and explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

It’s an essential element to the healing process. For this reason, all participants are required to respect our Container Agreements, which include:

• Confidentiality. I will hold in confidence the identities of the other participants and the personal nature of their healing work. I will ask for permission before posting photos of others to social media.
• Touch. All touch offered and given this week will be non-sexual in nature. (Exception: already established partners attending the Event together may engage in consensual touch.) I will respect the boundaries of others and ask first before delivering hugs, shoulder rubs, etc.
• Premises. I agree to stay on the premises for the entire duration of the event, unless explicitly given permission by an Event Leader. I also agree to stay within the defined ceremony space during medicine-assisted Activities.
• Platonic Healing. I agree not to run romantic energy with anybody else at the Event, for the duration of the entire Event. (Exception: already established partners attending the Event together.)
• Self Care. I will ask for what I need and speak up when I feel unsafe. I will not participate in Activities that I deem to be harmful for my wellbeing.
• Safety. I understand that the safety word is “Safety.” When I hear this word, I will immediately stop whatever I am doing, focus, and follow instructions. This is for my own safety, as well as for the safety of others. Likewise, if I deem that something dangerous is occurring during the Activities, I understand that I can likewise call “safety.”
• Personal Growth. I remember that I am here for the purposes of healing and personal growth, and that such processes often entail confronting parts of myself and others that may be uncomfortable. I agree that the Event staff may remind me of this throughout the week, and understand that they may help me see when I am deflecting, projecting, or acting out of alignment.
• Group Healing. I understand that the healing that happens in groups is different than one-on-one or solo work. I agree to respect the process of other individuals, as it may be quite different than my own. I agree not to touch or speak to other participants during the Group Medicine Ceremony.
• Judgement. I will be mindful of my own judgements and projections as they arise, and when they do, I will choose kindness.
• Attitude of Learning. I understand that there is no such thing as perfection, and that the Event staff and other participants may say or do things I dislike. I understand that this is all part of the learning – both mine and theirs.
