From my arrival I felt very welcome with Mano. A calm and sweet man with an enormous passion for plant medicine. He made us feel trust and I felt very comfortable. The ceremony was prepared with a lot of care, and there was all the space for my needs. During the ceremony I felt safe, because he knew how to anticipate my needs and of the other participants. The musical accompaniment was like the cherrie on the pie. The medicine was very powerful and with great impact, and with Mano and Bárbara at my side I completely dared to dive in. Thanks to them it was an incredible journey. It gave me a lot of insights, and trust to stand even more in my own power. Also during the days after the contact with Mano helped to integrate the understandings. I would recommend a ceremony with Mano to any person who feels that calling. Thanks for this unforgettable journey and the beautiful connection!

We had the privilege of experiencing our first plant medicine ceremony under the guidance of this amazing shaman and his collaborators.
Manos’s knowledge of plant medicine is remarkable and his dedication to the traditions for creating plant-medicine are unparalleled. He is instinctual in knowing his clients needs. We were fortunate to be able to receive an Ayurvedic hot oil massage. It was energizing, healing and cleansing and we both agreed that it was the best massage we have ever had in our lifetime.

Just Amazing
I don't know what I was expecting but my first experience with a Shaman was amazing. Mano and his wife are just a joy to be around they are so warm and inviting. They really made my retreat even that much better. Their music and guidance was everything.

Mano is the Best!
We had the opportunity work with Mano in Tepoztlan at Ayahuasca retreat. Mano is great Shaman with mind full of wisdom and heart full of compassion. It was out absolute pleasure to see him perform ceremonies. He created an awesome environment for us in Tamazcal (Sweat Lodge). Thank you Mano from Arsh and I

Authentic AF!
Mano's guidance, support and creativity were inspirational and helped create a ceremonial space where the magic can happen and does. His knowledge and confidence as a practitioner are evident and aid in his ability to guide you in on your Ayahuasca journey. Mano is an authentic and special practitioner who I feel so honored to have met him! Can't wait to go to another one of his ceremonies.

If plant medicine is calling you I would definitely recommend experiencing a ceremony with Mano. We stayed with him in his house for 3 nights, I couldn't have felt more welcome. Mano's hospitality was excellent, we were even spoiled with home made bread.
Before the ceremony we were able to ask out questions so we felt completely comfortable going in to the ceremony.
Mano made me feel at ease, during the ceremony he paid attention and gave the support that was necessary. Also he made it feel completely authentic with beautiful background stories and making music with his amazing instruments.
The day after the ceremony I booked a massage and sauna which felt amazing with the medicine still present.
I would highly recommend this complete experience!

Thank you to everyone at Amatlán for the hospitality we experienced as a group. We felt welcomed, not only, into the center but the culture as well. The mountains and scenery around was beyond grounding while we created a safe container to try new things together. Mano and Barbara were especially equipped to guide us through long nights together in ceremony and workshops where we learned how to make drums, to sing, all the way to traditions behind some indigenous cultures. What a beautiful experience I will carry into my everyday. Much gratitude.

To be with Mano in ceremony from the moment we started to work together it has been an amazing experience. The way how he preserve the culture of the custodians of this medicine, makes me feel as if I am working with the ancestors and the love that he shares in the ceremonies are unquestionable. Mano is a teacher and someone who devotes time towards the craft of caring for the medicine and the participants involved, I trust him to manage my journeys in a way that is filled with integrity and honesty. His years of experience makes the environment that is curated a therapeutic one. It’s a pleasure to journey with Mano
