A call to those seeking transformation
Book your discovery call with us today. We're here to answer any questions you may have.
Tandava Retreats are professionally guided wellness retreats focusing on the powerful psychedelic molecule known as 5-MeO-DMT (also known as Bufo Alvarius). These retreats allow you to explore the deepest realms of your innermost being, address behavioral habits that no longer serve you, and give you the freedom of life that you seek. We believe that no one should be a victim of their own mental patterning.
Our retreats were created to give our participants the space to engage in deep introspective work in a luxurious setting while having the love and support of experienced practitioners to handle whatever issues may arise during your time with us. We draw upon both Eastern and Western medical philosophies as well as transformational frameworks to provide the safety and long-lasting change that our guests desire. From yoga and meditation to neurofeedback and modern scientific protocols, we are here to meet you with what you need in your own unique journey.
What Does Tandava Mean?
Tandava is the divine dance performed by the Hindu deity Shiva and is believed to be the origin of the cosmic cycle of destruction and creation. It is the force that destroys the old in order to create space for the new. It is the entire balanced cadence of life the rise and fall, the ebb and flow that exists in nature and in ourselves. At Tandava Retreats we facilitate real change, which oftentimes involves the destruction of behavior patterns and identities that no longer align with one’s perspective on life.
Is 5-meO-DMT Right for You?
It’s important to us that you feel sure that we are the right people to guide you through this next step in your evolutionary journey, so please book your complimentary discovery call, ask questions, share your concerns, and let us know about your experiences.
We take your wellbeing very seriously and want you to know that we will create the safe, secure, loving container that you need for your experience. Whether you have a discovery call with us first or simply book your retreat, we look forward to speaking with you before you join us for the next step of your journey to move past your suffering and towards unification with your higher self.

About Our Center
Tandava’s flagship retreat center is located in beautiful and sunny Tepoztlan, Mexico in the state of Morelos. We are just a 90-minute scenic ride south of Mexico City airport. The weather is extremely pleasant and we are surrounded by large, dramatic mountain scenery that lovingly cradles the lush valley.
You can relax on poolside sun loungers in the afternoons and soak in the hot jacuzzi, or have a steam in our sauna in the evenings. Our property is set up to have communal space, as well as private nooks to reflect in peace. We are happy to accommodate your dietary needs and our menu is generally healthy and vegetarian. However, meat and fish can be served at your request.
Your private room will be waiting with a king-size bed, fresh towels, flowers, and greenery. WIFI is available throughout the property, complimentary laundry is handled for you, and there will be staff at your service around the clock.
Your Journey
At a Tandava Retreat, you can expect to arrive at your custom-created multi-day retreat container that will promote lasting, positive change in your life. Our role is to offer a range of lenses through which you can experience this next step in your journey. In this world, there are many different paths through which one can find the stillness within, and your path is yours to choose. We are here to support you along the way.
You may find your journey is suited to the transcultural framework of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey or that the indigenous/shamanic approach with experienced practitioners from indigenous lineages is for you. Or perhaps your container is grounded in the yogic experience. Whatever your journey looks like, Tandava Retreat’s practitioners and integration specialists have the background to support you – ranging from the classic mystery schools to western psychotherapy. We will ensure the right guides are on hand for your retreat experience.
You are invited to take the next step in your journey with us.
TANDAVA RETREATS PROVIDES:
A Safe Container for You to Let Go of Control
We communicate before, during, and after your retreat to ensure the container you have for your entire experience is one where your boundaries are respected and you are safely held to take the next step on your individual journey.
Enhanced Satisfaction in Life
A 2019 European study reported that after a single session of 5-MeO-DMT, participants showed a marked sustained enhancement in satisfaction with life, mindfulness-related capacities, and a decrement of psychopathological symptoms.
Sustained Aftercare and Integration
The critical part of a successful 5-MeO-DMT experience is taking what is learned and integrating it into your daily life. We ensure you have that ability through our ongoing integration protocol where you work with your integration specialist for several weeks to get the most out of your experience with us.
Experienced and Learned Guides
Every Tandava Guide has been on their own psychedelic journey learning through both personal and academic experiences. They are trained to help create the right container for your experience and to keep you safe on your unique journey.

Healing Crafted to Your Individual Needs
Individual retreats are perfect for those who are seeking a more personalized, private experience with 5-MeO-DMT/Bufo.
Everyone is on their own unique journey and travels their own path to surrender, which is why we create a container specifically designed for your processes.
Whether you’re joining us to refine and deepen your self-understanding, heal from traumas, or bring your true self into the light, our team has the tools to support you.
The Process
We will begin your process several weeks before you arrive in Tepoztlan, with a thorough intake and screening process so we can ensure your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual safety at every step.
Then we start our preparatory process through Zoom calls and journaling, which enables us to tailor a unique container based on where you are in your journey, what your personal process will be, or how your personal process will unfold.
We utilize techniques ranging from classic yogic and Buddhist approaches to Western psychiatric and clinical practices combined with loving hospitality to ensure you will be held in every way at your individual retreat.
At our retreats, we will create a customized container for you. Some of the tools we use to do so are:
5-MeO-DMT/Bufo Alvarius
Kambo
Optimized diet
Yoga
Meditation
Breathwork
Sound healing
Spiritual progress coaching
Shadow work
Refining your vision and mission to help navigate life
Neurofeedback/Brain entrainment
After Your Stay
After your retreat, we will be working with you during your integration process to ensure a smooth transition back into your daily life. You will be given a specialized integration plan and will have at least 4 aftercare/integration calls with your personal integration specialist via Zoom. Extended integration packages are also available for either three, six, or nine months.
