About The Ancestral Roots

What is The Ancestral Roots?

The Ancestral Roots is a transformative retreat company based in Tulum, Mexico. We design and lead sacred journeys — combining ancestral ceremonies, plant medicine, healing practices, and immersive travel — for individuals, couples, and groups seeking deep personal transformation.

Where are you based?

We are rooted in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico, where we hold regular ceremonies and healing experiences. We also lead international retreats to destinations including the Sacred Valley in Peru and Costa Rica.

Who leads the retreats and ceremonies?

Our retreats are led by experienced facilitators with deep roots in ancestral traditions. Each journey is held in a safe, intentional space with professional guidance before, during, and after the experience.

The Retreats

What types of retreats do you offer?

We offer Solo Retreats for individual inner journeys, Couples Retreats for shared healing and deeper connection, and Group Retreats that bring together a community of like-minded participants. We also organize destination retreats to Peru and Costa Rica.

What is included in a retreat?

Each retreat varies by program, but generally includes accommodation, ceremonial experiences, group or individual sessions, meals, and facilitated integration support. Full details are provided for each specific journey on its dedicated page.

How long are the retreats?

Retreat duration ranges from a few days to a full week depending on the program. Our Peru retreat, for example, is 7 days and 6 nights in the Sacred Valley.

Do I need prior experience with ceremonies or plant medicine?

No prior experience is necessary. Our retreats are designed to welcome people at all stages of their journey — whether it is your first ceremony or you have walked this path before. We guide you every step of the way.

Are the retreats safe?

Your safety and wellbeing are our highest priority. All ceremonies are held in carefully prepared sacred spaces with experienced facilitators. We conduct intake processes prior to each retreat to ensure the experience is appropriate for each participant.

Can I attend a retreat if I have health conditions or take medication?

Please disclose any physical or mental health conditions, medications, or supplements when completing your intake form. Some conditions may be contraindicated with certain ceremonial practices. We review each case individually and will guide you honestly.

Booking & Practical Questions

How do I book a retreat?

You can start by filling out our Retreat Inquiry Form on the website. We review every application personally and will reach out to discuss whether the retreat is the right fit for you.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as early as possible, as spaces are intentionally limited to preserve the quality and intimacy of each experience. For our international retreats, we suggest reserving your place at least 3 to 6 months in advance.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellation terms vary by program and will be clearly communicated at the time of booking. Please contact us directly for details related to a specific retreat.

Do you offer payment plans?

We understand that investing in a transformative experience is significant. We assess payment plan options on a case-by-case basis. Get in touch and we will do our best to find a solution that works for you.

I am traveling solo. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Many of our participants travel alone. Our retreats create a safe and welcoming community, and solo travelers often find them to be some of the most powerful experiences of their lives.
