Inward Travel: 9-Day Mazatec Mushroom Retreat, in Huautla, Mexico

Step into a rare opportunity to spend a week in the mountains of Oaxaca, working with psilocybin mushrooms under experienced Mazatec Shaman/healers.

This is one of the few places in the world that has preserved its mushroom tradition, stretching back thousands of years.

From Mexico City to Huautla de Jiménez, our group travels together, leaving city life far behind and venturing into Mexico’s breathtaking landscapes and pristine nature.

This retreat blends depth and reflection with the joy of an unforgettable week of adventure and connection.

We are honoured to work with our healers, Magdalena and Eugenia Casimiro. They are daughters of Doña Julieta Casimiro and carry forward the sacred Mazatec mushroom tradition that connects directly to María Sabina.**

In their trusted hands, we are guided to explore our connection with consciousness and experience the insight, healing, creativity, and clarity that mushrooms so powerfully offer.

Between ceremonies, days are simple and nourishing, with yoga, breathwork, hikes through lush landscapes, shared meals, and meaningful conversations.

You’ll also visit sacred sites, including the majestic ruins of Teotihuacán near Mexico City.

Inward Travel brings decades of experience designing exceptional journeys. Every detail is thoughtfully handled, from logistics to group flow, so participants can enjoy the freedom of travel and make the most of their experience in Mexico, and with mushrooms.

A Living Lineage of Mushroom Ceremonies in Mexico:

*María Sabina (1894–1985) was a Mazatec healer from Oaxaca, Mexico, who was renowned for her sacred mushroom ceremonies. There was little awareness of psilocybin mushrooms in the United States, until 1956 when a journalist wrote about Maria Sabina and her work with mushrooms in Time magazine. This article introduced the world to Mazatec mushroom ceremonies and sparking global interest in psychedelic exploration and plant medicine traditions.

Maria Sabina was from the tiny village of Huautla de Jimenez, which is where we will be visiting on this trip.
