The Spirit of This Gathering

Autumn invites us to slow down. To reflect on what has come up this year. To notice what may need care, gratitude, or closure before the next cycle begins.
It is a time that asks you to look honestly at the season of life you are moving through — not to judge it, but to witness it. To acknowledge what has shaped you. To create space for what may need to be released.
This autumn equinox retreat in Mexico is built for exactly that moment. Nine days in a private, natural sanctuary, held by guides who bring decades of lineage wisdom and a genuine belief that a deeper connection with yourself leads to clearer choices and a more genuine way of living. “A time to return to yourself with greater clarity, presence and awareness.”

What the 9 Days Include

12 Intentional Activities — Every One Chosen for This Season
The autumn equinox gathering is not a menu of wellness offerings. Each activity is chosen for its specific capacity to support reflection, release, and honest inner work. They are sequenced to move with the natural rhythm of the retreat — from arrival and grounding, through depth, and into integration and return.

Your Ceremony Guides

Germán Virguez & Lupita Castro

For over 20 years, Germán and Lupita have dedicated themselves to studying master plants and wisdom traditions from the Amazon, the Andes, and the East — always with respect, integrity, and responsibility.
Their approach carries no promises and no quick fixes. What they offer is something rarer: space for stillness, reflection, and real inner work. At the core of everything they do is a simple belief that has guided two decades of practice — a deeper connection with yourself leads to clearer choices and a more genuine way of living.
Through prayer, ceremony, and decades of lived experience, they walk alongside you on a journey of self-discovery, helping you reconnect with what you already know deep within.

The Founders

Pablo Vázquez & Dean Taraborelli

Alquimia Sanctuary is the result of years of exploration, learning, and genuine friendship between Pablo Vázquez and Dean Taraborelli. The Alquimia Process™ was born from their shared belief that ancestral medicines, rituals, and traditions can open genuine pathways to healing, self-understanding, and growth.
Alquimia is not a place to escape life, nor a form of spiritual entertainment. It is a human space built on honesty, presence, and genuine commitment — to you, to the work, and to the community of San Simón el Alto where the sanctuary lives.
