The philosophy of Xochipilli Retreat Center centers on creating a loving, family-oriented community where human connection is recognized as a vital part of the healing process. We operate not as a resort, but as a tribe and a house of medicine, believing that this communal, heart-led environment fosters deep personal awakening. At the heart of Xochipilli is founder and medicine man Arturo Lopez, who has dedicated nearly two decades to spiritual healing and energetic growth. His path began in the Sacred Valley of Peru, apprenticing under respected guides and cultivating a profound reverence for Amazonian medicines. Through his work, Arturo seeks to create a safe and sacred space where participants can gently confront their internal struggles, supported by plant medicine and music that invite profound peace and spiritual reconciliation.

When Mamay Retreats and Xochipilli Retreat Center unite, the result is more than a retreat—it is a lovingly held journey from start to finish. Mamay brings the organizational heart and integration coaching that guides you before and after ceremony, while Xochipilli offers the sacred ground, the family, and the deep traditional reverence for the medicine. Together, led by Arturo Lopez and his devoted staff, we create an experience that is safe, intimate, and profoundly transformative.
