Ajijic Lake Chapala

VENUE

Ajijic is a hidden gem, located by the beautiful Lake Chapala in Jalisco, Mexico, is considered a sacred and highly energetic spot on Earth. Known for its charm, stunning lake views, vibrant culture, and perfect weather. Some of the attractions in Ajijic include walking along the beautiful malecon, visiting Mezcala and Alacran Islands, horse riding, kayaking, mountain hiking and dipping into the thermal hot springs. All of this along the 360* of breathtaking views of the village, lake, and mountains. Lake Chapala is also one of the sacred sites for the indigenous Wixárika people, particularly Alacran Island, to which they come to pay homage through annual offerings as it represents three pivotal mythological moments in the creation of humanity, according to their cosmology. Guru Paramahansa Yogananda referred to the Lake Chapala area as a site of great spiritual awakening. The area is known for its vibrational frequency and the presence of focused cosmic energy. The surrounding mystical mountains also contribute to the energetic atmosphere, with religious shrines and ceremonial grounds discovered while hiking. Definitely the best place to reset.

THEY RECOMMEND US

“For some years, I wanted to have a guided psychedelic experience. When a friend had mentioned that we could put together a group for such an experience, I asked him to count me in. I didn’t really know what to expect from such an experience. A recreational experience was not what I was after. Neither was I searching for a ceremonial experience in particular. However, the ceremonial medicine experience that Mariri led was truly right for me…and is what I will do in the future.

Mariri and her group brought a beautiful sacred-ness to our experience. The environment that they created was wonderful. I felt quite supported before, during and after the experience.

The music was stunningly moving, rich and perfect for the ceremony. I enjoyed the blend of songs in indigenous, Spanish, and English languages. Mariri has true natural singing talent and to experience that talent in a small room setting within the context of our medicinal ceremony was magical. I ‘felt’ the songs in my body like I never have felt music before.

The ceremony itself is one that I would describe as a ‘peak-experience’ of my life. I struggle to find adequate words right now as I write this, just as I did the morning following the ceremony…in short, it was extraordinarily pure and beautiful.”

"Mariana and her assistant performed two wonderful psilocybin ceremonies for me. Her team is very professional, and provides authentic ritual, including beautiful music and continuous support throughout, as well as solicitous care while returning to everyday consciousness. The integration session that she offers is insightful and very helpful in making connections between the ceremony and daily challenges. I would not hesitate to make use of her services, again."

G. Eppler

"I highly recommend Mariana. She is a kind and caring person and has extensive knowledge in different plant-based journeys and treatments. She's also very good at adapting to your changing situation before, during, and after the journey and guiding you through the process. I've only had one journey with Mariana but already feeling positive effects regarding depression and impulse control. I plan to do another journey in the future."

S. Gerisch

"Mariana is a true mystic and expert guide into the deeper, often hidden realm of Spirit. I have learned to trust her without question because I know that she has the highest intention and her compassion is unequaled."

“Mariana led our group psilocybin ceremony with unparalleled skill and beauty. It was unlike anything I have ever experienced. The space she created was extraordinary, from pre-ceremony planning, to the setup when we arrived, to ceremony itself, and the post-ceremony integration experience. She handled all the pre- and post-ceremony activities with grace and ease and wisdom and sacredness.

The true heart of the ceremony was what happened during the ceremony itself. We were fortunate enough to have three additional beautiful souls with Mariri to assist us in our journeys. Once the mushrooms really kicked in for us, Mariri and her team began to serenade us with songs of profound beauty – heavenly, other worldly, transcendent, deeply soul-stirring, ethereal, touching beyond description. The women’s harmonies floated around each other like clouds, utterly beautiful guitars, singing bowls and gongs. We were serenaded in Spanish, English, and I believe in some indigenous languages.

The effect was indescribable. The soulful music, interspersed with periods of silence, created an incredible effect with the psilocybin.

While my comments may seem exaggerated, for me, there are no exaggerations here. This was truly one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, and, from speaking to my co-participants, I was not alone in these feelings. I look forward to being in Mariana’s angelic presence again, and will enthusiastically recommend her to the people I love”

“I am gonna start by saying that Mariana was very professional and attentive to giving me instructions before, during and after my ceremony. Mariana contained the energy and created a space where I felt safe and protected, the medicine had its effects and I was able to connect in a profound way.

The music played an important role because it made me feel more comfortable and with a high vibration, it guided me through my journey and I felt a lot of confidence to be able to open up and express my feelings, emotions. Something important for me was to be able to understand my experience with medicine and Mariana helped me with the integration.

I highly recommend the therapy that Mariana offers because in my case the ceremony was a catalyst to be able to make changes in my life and heal my inner child. Her presence, her music, her singing and her energy made this experience very special and sacred.”
