Aeon’s Sacred Journey 

IMG_2205.jpeg

After 15 years walking the sacred path of earth medicine, I thought I had touched the heart of healing. But nothing could have prepared me for the depth and beauty I experienced at Merkaba Retreats.

From the moment I arrived, I felt not just welcomed—but received. Seen. Held. Loved.

The ceremonies were true portals of remembrance. Bufo awakened an ancient language within me—one I didn’t learn, but remembered. Kambo cleared generations of grief and stagnation. The final mushroom ceremony attuned me to the living rhythm of the Earth and the divine within. This wasn’t just healing. It was a rebirth.

Beyond ceremony, I found myself woven into a soulful, intentional community where every moment—from shared meals to grocery runs—was infused with

presence and care. I didn’t have to fit in to belong. I was free to be exactly who I am.​As a longtime shamanic practitioner and now co-facilitator with Merkaba Retreats, I can say without hesitation: this field is real. It’s sacred. It’s home.​If your soul has been whispering that there’s more—come.​The path is here.The medicine is waiting.And so are we.​— AeonMexico / USA

Eric's Transformational Journey

"Attending the Merkaba Retreat was nothing short of life-altering. This sacred space offered me the opportunity to reconnect with my spiritual self in a way I had long yearned for but didn’t know was possible.

Throughout the retreat, I nourished my body with clean, intentional food—free from gluten, processed ingredients, and meat, aside from mindful seafood choices. This physical cleansing laid the foundation for the deeper, spiritual work that unfolded.

We immersed ourselves in powerful daily rituals: chanting Om Nama Shivaya, sweating out old energies in the temazcal (sweat lodge), flowing through yoga on the beach at sunrise, and participating in beautifully held ceremonies with sacred earth medicines—bufo, kambo, and psilocybin. These plant and animal allies held me, guided me, and ultimately cracked me open.

During the medicine ceremonies, I experienced a profound release. I was able to let go of the heavy burdens—emotional, spiritual, and energetic—that I had carried for so many years. I shed layers of armor I had built to protect myself, armor that had long since stopped serving me. For the first time in what feels like forever, I allowed my true self to emerge—vulnerable, radiant, and free.

The Merkaba Retreat gave me the space, the support, and the sacred tools to reclaim my light. I return home with an open heart, a reawakened soul, and immense gratitude for this deeply healing journey." -Eric, Austin, TX

Drebo's Life-Changing Experience

"My time at Merkaba Retreats was nothing short of life-changing. I experienced profound healing, clarity, and a deep remembrance of who I truly am. The sacred space, guided ceremonies, and beautiful community held me through transformation I didn’t even know I was ready for." - Drebo, Austin, TX

"I have been curious for many years of these types of retreats for personal growth. This opportunity presented itself in the perfect timing of my life. Going into this experience, I had an open mind and an open heart. I understood that challenges were going to arise, and I worked through years of hurt. The outcome from this retreat has been weight off my shoulders clarity and peace. This experience has opened up a new role for me, and will highly recommend." - The Chief, Austin, TX

Sa'rellan's Sacred Journey

"My week with Merkaba Retreats was nothing short of life-altering. I arrived hoping for healing—but what I experienced was a complete paradigm shift. This wasn’t just sacred earth medicine. This was soul surgery.

Each day, I felt myself returning to the essence of who I truly am. Lighter. Clearer. Radiant. By the end of the retreat, I looked in the mirror and barely recognized the reflection staring back—because I had gotten younger. Not just in appearance, but in energy, spirit, and freedom.

This retreat didn’t just change my life—it became the genesis of my book Antiseptic Moron. The depth of remembrance, the clarity of insight, and the power of the facilitators showed me that real healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about reclaiming what’s always been whole.

If you’re ready for transformation on a cellular, spiritual, and soul level, Merkaba Retreats is the gateway."

—Sa’rellan (Dale Rowse), author of Antiseptic Moron and Foreign To Me
