About this Retreat
All of our medicine retreats will be conducted by Humberto Alcala, who is best described as a modern-day medicine man. Ten years ago, after several personal experiences with ayahuasca, the medicine led him away from his successful contracting business in California towards becoming a highly respected facilitator – and Shaman - of mental exploration and emotional healing through sacred medicines.
The culmination of this path resulted in training with an experienced traditional Shipibo Shaman, while living amongst the indigenous tribes deep in the Peruvian jungle near Pucallpa Peru. It was a journey which consisted of multiple master plant dietas, vision quests, and deep inner work. Humberto's background combined with traditional shamanic training provides an effective bridge between the western psychology of most participants alongside the native South American medicines and cosmology. This allows retreat guests to get the most from their experience and integrate the lessons learned during ceremonies.
Starting from small scale sessions in his birthplace of Tepatitlan, Jalisco, Mexico, his work now takes him worldwide – to many regions of Mexico, numerous cities in the United States, Europe, and now to South America. Now, with nearly 8 years of experience, Humberto has performed over 400 sacred medicine ceremonies. His down-to-earth, easy going and compassionate personality makes all that come to ceremony with him feel safe and know they are in good hands. His philosophy is there’s nothing to fix, and we are already perfect as is. What he offers is an opportunity for people to come home to themselves, and in so doing, to learn, to grow, to heal, and ultimately, to remember themselves.
Jamie provides integration support for Mexisoul participants both during and after the retreat. She is a trained educator who has earned a master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology. For the last ten years, Jamie has coached professionals and business owners to create more of what they want by thinking beyond the perceived limits of conditioned and conventional boundaries.
Seeking new tools and solutions for both her and her clients, Jamie attended the first Mexisoul retreat in March 2022. She returned as a participant several times over the next year to gain a better understand of the lasting benefits of plant medicine. In April 2023, Jamie returned to La Finca as a member of our staff. Using her knowledge of Transpersonal Psychology and her experience in client work, she helped redesign our integration program to offer more extensive support to participants.
During the retreat, Jamie leads group discussions on integration, what to expect after the retreat, and how to benefit most from your work with plant medicine. She is also available during the retreat for one-on-one personalized sessions.
After returning home, she will be available through both private and group texting to answer questions and a one-on-one call.
Jamie believes we are continually on the edge of vast untapped potential, that plant medicine isn’t necessary, but is one of the most powerful and effective tools available to get a glimpse into what’s possible, to know we are already whole, and to find peace and wellbeing.
