Excellent experience at Tandava. Extremely well executed event. From check in to the quality of the facilitators, to the food and rooms, everything spotless. I recommend Tandava to anyone who feels they want to pursue work with 5 MEO DMT. I am sure I will return.

My 5MeO DMT experience has been life changing and 2 weeks on is still living in me in very real terms. I came to Tandava with burn out and exhaustion after many years of working on a project. The peaceful setting was perfect for rest in between sessions and the workshops and the nourishing food were perfectly spaced, plentiful and restorative. The medicine journey itself has been deeply spiritual, a reconnecting with my inherent connection to consciousness that is hard to put into words or even find a story around, so im am just living it. My dreams are back to being creative and I feel stronger and more confident, able to focus my busy mind and recall the absolute stillness and quiet post journey. Im spending more time in contemplation, feeling connected and watching how life is unfolding., still processing some of the emotions and past wounds that showed up but also the awesomeness that came to me during and after my journey, Im journalling and being accountable in a very soft way. I do feel more attuned to entheogenic medicines being served in indigenous rituals and in harmony with nature and at Tandava the setting was spot on! My guides excelled at making me feel safe and witnessed, again beyond language, but i'm truly grateful to them and Joel and Victoria for hosting me. As i enter a whole new stage of my life, empty nesting and free of responsibility for children and family i realise this has come at the perfect time to get to know myself and the new life i want to live.

The facilities were nice, but what really made this experience amazing was the food and the team. Excellent facilitation and operational team to support a life-changing week.

Review for Ten Dava, Mexico I recently spent time at Ten Dava in Mexico, and it was one of those experiences that stays with you. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the care and intention that went into everything — from the land itself to the people running it. Joel and Victoria, the founders, have built something truly special here. You can tell it’s not just a business to them — it’s a vision, a purpose. They’ve brought together an incredible team of therapists (they call them by another name there, but each one brings something unique). During my stay, there were four of them and only three guests, so the level of attention and presence was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, vibrant, made with love. You can taste the care in every meal. The rooms were comfortable and peaceful, and the views… just breathtaking. Every time I stepped outside, it felt like nature was part of the healing. What stood out most, though, was the energy of the place — calm, clear, and genuine. There’s a sense that you’re being cared for not just physically, but on a deeper level. I can honestly say my time at Ten Dava was transformative. I left feeling lighter, more connected, and grateful for everyone there — especially Joel and Victoria, for creating such a space. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for real healing and peace. P.S Tandava= Ten Dava 10 out of 10 score!

From the moment I arrived at Tandava I knew this was no normal retreat. The property is impeccably maintained and the staff friendly and helpful. The attention I received was second-to-none. Between the facilitators and integration specialists, you are tended to by a cadre of experts that really listen and tailor your experience to produce the best results in-ceremony. Then there's the food, which is some of the best in Tepoztlan, and indeed anywhere! They will customize your meals to whatever diet you're following and everything is sourced from local farms. Having been to nearly a dozen medicine ceremonies over the last 20 years, I can say with confidence that this is the best-managed retreat I've ever been to. Kudos to Joel and Victoria for going above and beyond. I look forward to returning on a more regular basis.
