WHAT TO EXPECT
At Ek Lum Tulum, we prioritize your well-being. Our retreats are designed with your safety and transformation in mind, and they come with several key features:
Comprehensive
Pre-Arrival Medical Evaluation
Before your arrival, we conduct an online medical evaluation to ensure we have a clear understanding of your health and needs. This step is essential for a safe and personalized experience.
Onsite Experienced Staff Supervision
Throughout your retreat, experienced staff members are present during each ceremony to provide guidance and support. Our retreats have been developed and refined over a decade to ensure the best possible outcomes for our guests.
Variety of Retreat Options
We offer retreats for individuals, couples, and groups, catering to your unique preferences and needs. Our groups are deliberately limited to a maximum of 12 people to provide an intimate and focused experience, allowing for plenty of one-on-one integration time.
the power of ancestral natural medicines
Our retreats are centered around the use of ancestral natural medicines, which have proven to be highly effective in supporting shifts in perception that lead to profound transformation and healing.
dynamic and adaptable retreat energy
Every retreat has its own unique energy, and we adapt our approach based on how that energy unfolds. Ek Lum is here to guide you on a special journey and contribute to the changes you seek in your life.
sacred ceremonies
in the heart of the jungle
Our ancestral medicine ceremonies take place in a beautiful and comfortable jungle setting. We work around a sacred fire circle, honoring ancient traditions. Fire, as the first portal to the spirit world, serves as a protector, illuminating the ceremony space and allowing spirits to enter and assist. The fire symbolically burns away what no longer serves us. During these ceremonies, our facilitators also share insights about the medicine and their own healing experiences.
The Healing Power of Sacred Music
Music plays a pivotal role in the ceremony, often referred to as the 'driver' of the journey. When the mind gets entangled, focusing on the music can help us move beyond surface thoughts, delving deeper into the medicine and our own truths.
Beyond Plant Medicine
Our retreats go beyond plant medicine ceremonies. They are designed to help you strip away programming and false identities, revealing your true self, and setting you on a path to personal freedom.
Holistic Healing Program
During your retreat, you'll follow a comprehensive healing program that includes daily treatments and therapies. This is complemented by integrative consciousness enhancement processes and counseling, all aimed at providing the highest level of care and treatment.
The Importance of Integration
At Ek Lum Tulum, we prioritize your well-being. Our retreats are designed with your safety and transformation in mind, and they come with several key features:
integration time
After each ceremony, you'll still be under the influence of the medicine, and you can expect to remain awake for the rest of the day. This integration time is just as important as the ceremony itself, providing you with an opportunity for introspection and reflection on the messages and teachings received. You'll also have the chance to engage in activities such as jungle walks, cenote visits, gentle yoga, meditation, and journaling. Additionally, during this period, you will have 1:1 sessions with a professional Psychedelic Integration Counselor.
unique and personal Transformation
As seasoned participants in natural medicines will tell you, no two experiences are alike. While the process may be similar, the results are deeply personal. We can guarantee that you will have the opportunity to break down the mental barriers between the conscious and unconscious, entering profound altered states of awareness. This allows you to engage in a conversation with the spirit of the medicine, facilitating a deeper understanding of and resolution for limiting beliefs, past traumas, and the creation of new, conscious, limitless options.
A Compassionate Environment
We understand that the healing process can bring forth challenging emotions and experiences. To support you through this journey, we have a team of skilled, compassionate facilitators and healers.
Navigating The Subconcious
Ancestral and Plant Medicines have the potential to unearth aspects of the subconscious, necessitating the exploration of trauma, dysfunction, and imbalance. These discoveries can be intimidating and painful, making a non-judgmental environment essential for the healing process.
Supportive facilitators and healers
Our facilitators and healers are experienced in "shadow work," facing and integrating their own traumas. They can share personal experiences and provide compassionate space for your own healing journey. They guide you through the awakening process and exploration of your inner self, enhancing your innate healing intelligence.
a sAFE AND sUPPORTIVE eNVIRONMENT
Our aim is to create a secure and supportive environment throughout the healing process. In addition to our on-site team, we consult with qualified professionals during screening and preparation, as well as after your retreat during the integration process. We also have a Wilderness First Response (WFR) trained facilitator and a fully stocked medical kit on-site. Rest assured, we provide a sanctuary for your emotional and spiritual well-being.
