A journey into self-awareness, truth and divine consciousness.
The Experience
If you are ready to dissolve your fears, false beliefs, and identification with your mind, and experience unconditional love from which you can create a new life that you love, then join us at the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacán Mexico.
Walking in silence in the chilly morning air to the archaeological grounds on the cobbled stone street. You are invited to close your eyes and let a partner guide you, so you can explore sensations of trust, fear, and surrender, before we even reach the first plaza.
Evening Breathwork allows for energy and experiences that open your eyes and heart to more awareness, and more feeling.
It will become clear that the worst things about your past, aren’t nearly as painful as carrying them in your inner world every day.
Releasing those fears, emotional pains, and stories becomes the focus of everyone’s intent together. In a ceremony that embraces the life cycle of death you are guided to let them go, as well as your past self that was attached to them. Everything temporal dies, and we can use this wisdom to let the past die also.
Then, with the power you have recovered, we begin building a new emotional dream and belief system, based in love and respect, beginning with ourselves, and then extending to our relationships.
The fear and need to control are replaced with relief in letting go.
Sitting in the dwellings of the masters that lived here 2000 years ago, you can feel their eternal consciousness and let it guide you to open your heart and inner vision.
You might be distracted and open your eyes to see the stone walls, or curious what others are doing. But sitting with that group intent you see in others, you return your attention inward to a different possibility for your vision.
experiences that will change you and your relationship with others during the week in Teotihuacán.

What you'll get....
On a power journey, you’re able to leap forward in ways that might have taken you several years working through on your own. We will use ceremony, ritual, contemplation, laughter, our attention, and every bit of awareness to move beyond the emotions and fears of limiting beliefs in the mind. Then we launch our consciousness deep into the wisdom of the Silent Knowledge of ancient masters.
- Using self-awareness and meditations you will detach from your self-judgments and negative thoughts and embrace yourself with self-acceptance and love.
- Using conscious dreaming journeys you will release your identification with the fears and worries of your mind and experience your self as consciousness free of what others think of you.
- Using powerful ceremonies in ancient plazas and temples, you will connect to the wisdom of ancient masters to open your heart and experience unconditional love flowing through you.
"Going on a trip like this is so much more powerful than weekly sessions over the phone, in so many ways. Besides the personal growth I've experienced, and the love, I'm making friendships I believe will last my lifetime."

- You want a deep change to your unconscious beliefs and old patterns.
- You have worked on the Self Mastery practices on your own or in the online groups and want to take a big leap forward.
- You are new to the Self Mastery work but feel ready to take responsibility for your current situation and make changes to your inner world.
- You want to come back to Teo for more of the powerful transformation and group support.
If any of the above applies to you, we can’t wait to have you joining the Spiritual Power journey to Teotihuacán!
"When I first came to Teo I didn't know what to expect. I was scared of what I would discover, scared that I wouldn’t discover anything... that I would have to return home empty-handed and continue living a life that was making me unhappy. I was also scared to share this experience together with a group I didn´t know. In spite of that, I had a strong desire to go on this adventure and I am forever grateful that I did. What I found was so much more than I could have imagined."

Lodging at the Dreaming House
We stay and enjoy our family-style meals at the beautiful hacienda, Casa de los Sueños. The Dreaming House. The rooms are comfortable with private bathrooms. There is wifi in the common area. We have our morning and evening classes in the larger teaching rooms.
The traditional kitchen is staffed by family members and can accommodate allergies and dietary requests as far as possible. We enjoy our home-cooked meals in the big dining room together.
The weather in Teotihuacan in October will be very comfortable in the 70’s (F) during the day. Low’s at night will be in the 50’s. There is sometimes a chance of showers in the afternoon. The elevation is about 7200 feet with nice mild weather throughout the year.
Safety and refunds
Booking and refunds
You reserve your spot by paying the deposit of $500. You pay the remaining amount before our Intro month starts, around October 1st.
If you need to cancel your trip:
- If you want or need a refund, 90% of your deposit or other payments will be refunded until 30 days prior. The 10% accounts for the financial fees we are charged by the payment processor and the Dreaming House.
- For cancellations within 30 days of the journey starting we will refund all your payments except half the $500 deposit, due to the Dreaming House’s cancellation policy.
We strongly recommend that you get travel insurance. Depending on the insurance you purchase, it will cover your expense for lost luggage, medical care and evacuation, canceled flights, or canceled trips, lost refunds, and other items.
Safety in Mexico
You might have heard and read stories of the potential dangers of traveling to Mexico. Generally, after 30 years of traveling there, I’ve found that the stories are exaggerated and the fear unfounded for the areas we’ll be visiting.
The towns around Teotihuacán are safe residential areas and the whole area is a well-visited tourist spot with thousands of visitors, including school children passing through every week. We’ll be staying at a gated hacienda that only we and the staff have access to. You’ll be picked up from the airport by the Dreaming House’s transfer service.
So far, we haven’t had any safety concerns on our trips, apart from the death of our egos and the fears themselves. Which might feel unsafe – but is very freeing.

Common Questions
Yes, this trip can be for you. You can be as private as you like. There are no requirements to share. You could spend the whole week in silence and do the process as a silent retreat. You are invited to be a part of every process, but not required.
We offer a process and respect how each individual wants to do it.
If you want to go off on your own at different times, or not show up for a class, you are free to do so. All we ask is that you let your team leader know so we know you are taken care of and not looking for you when you don’t want to be found.
PS. What many of us discovered was that our past experience of groups gave us that “not belonging” feeling because the group didn’t know how to be kind and accepting. This often happens at a young age.
When you find the right group that is willing to accept you, just as you are, then we can shake off the “not a group person” narrative.
If you need to cancel your trip:
- If you want or need a refund, 90% of your deposit or other payments will be refunded until September 6. The 10% accounts for the financial fees we are charged by the payment processor and the Dreaming House.
- For cancellations within 30 days of the journey starting we will refund all your payments except the $500 deposit, due to the Dreaming House’s cancellation policy.
You will get all the practical information in our Teo group once you’re registered. But here are the basics:
October 5 – 12 2024
Arrival: Plan to arrive at the Mexico City airport before 3:00 pm Saturday. A driver will pick you up with the others and take you to the Dreaming House. We will have an early dinner and Class will begin that night.
You may also opt to arrive a day or two early and we can help with accommodations and transport if you want to arrive at the Dreaming House early.
Departure: The formal teachings will finish with a ceremony Friday at about noon. Then we relax in the afternoon, shop, and enjoy a fiesta in the evening. Departure is on Saturday. Plan for your return flight to depart late morning or early afternoon if possible. If you need to catch an earlier flight, arrangements can be made to get you to the airport on time with a taxi at your expense.
A taxi ride to the airport outside the normal arrival and departure window will incur an additional fee of approximately $60 US.
Generally sharing will be done in your small teams with your leader. You don’t have to share about your own process. You are allowed to be as private as you wish. It is entirely optional.
We open up sharing opportunities during the day, or at evening class. Often someone’s realization or question helps another person with some issue they were wrestling with. Sharing happens in the casual social times in between and at meals.
We are very careful to steer away from what would look like group therapy sharing. That is not the path or processes we work with. You are more likely to be invited to spend parts of the day in silence, or to be guided inward for deeper self-inquiry.
The recording will be available after the call and you can do the practices in your own time. If you have a question that you want to be answered, you can post that beforehand and we will answer it during the call.
- If you feel excited when reading about it, but also a bit nervous and scared.
- If you’ve done some previous work with observing and changing your thoughts, emotions and behaviors and want to grow your self-awareness.
- If you feel motivated to take a big leap and experience unconditional love and expand your consciousness.
Answering yes to any of the above? Then you’re ready.
If your mind wants to complicate it more than that, it’s welcome to. But it really can be that simple.
We recommend the events over individual coaching.
The commitment involved in showing up, and the focused attention for several sustained days allow breaking through many more issues in a shorter time than you will do on your own. The processes are much deeper. Your connection and support in a group environment are more conducive to learning and change as well.
The exception to this is if you are working through trauma issues. If you are triggered into trauma reactions of panic, etc., then be more gentle with yourself and do coaching sessions, or work with a professional in this area. At these events, such as Mexico, we do many new and different approaches to challenge, change, and move consciously past your belief systems. For a person recovering from trauma, this may be too triggering to be helpful.
With that said we’ve had several people with trauma backgrounds coming to this journey. They have in combination with other support at home experienced major shifts to their inner world. What’s true for someone else might not be true to you. Feel into what you need and want.
