Our “Axis Mundi” Expeditions
Expeditions Into Spirit is our flagship Axis Mundi expedition program. Come explore some of Central and South America’s mystical destinations with your host and guide, Val Jon Farris. These are no ordinary tours, but rather extraordinary once-in-a-lifetime adventures into both the outer and inner worlds.
Join Val Jon and a small group of travelers as they explore some of Mesoamerica’s most sacred sites, ruins, villages and towns. Our five-day expeditions include visiting sacred ruins, learning their history, conducting ancient ceremonies, meeting indigenous tribes, and enjoying the culinary and shopping opportunities offered by local villages and towns.

Join your retreat host and expedition guide, Val Jon Farris along with a small group of like-minded travelers as we explore some of Mexico’s most sacred sites in and around the beautiful town of San Miguel de Allende, (one of Conde Nast’s top-rated UNESCO World Heritage destinations).
To celebrate the opening of our Axis Mundi Retreat Center in late 2022, Val Jon will host a very special three-day Sacred Time Excursion.

Now imagine being able to call it forth at will.) For more information, click here.
