Our TRANSCENDENT Expeditions

Expeditions Into Spirit is our flagship transcendent 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 that produce powerful shifts in people’s lives.

Join Val Jon and a small group of travelers as they explore some of Mesoamerica’s most sacred sites, ruins, villages and towns. Our one-day and 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.

San Miguel de Allende Three-Day “Sacred Time Excursion”
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 2023, Val Jon will host a very special three-day Sacred Time Excursion. (“Sacred Time” is an extraordinary departure from normal time. To grasp it, recall experiencing a timeless moment in which you both lost yourself and found yourself, in an extended moment of transcendence. Now imagine being able to call it forth at will.)
