The land

Four hectares of countryside about an hour from Guadalajara airport, with more than fifteen spaces built by hand since 2017. Horses in the fields, agave on the hills, and a lake that catches the sunset. Every MexiSol retreat in Mexico happens here.

Eight years in the making

Built by hand, one space at a time

Marina founded the Finca in 2017, starting with the stables and the old tower. Ceremonies began a year later, and people found their way here by word of mouth. The land has been under construction ever since, much of it with the help of volunteers from the community that lives here.

2017: Marina founds Finca El Péndulo. The stables and the tower come first.
2018: The first plant medicine ceremonies.
2019: The Osho Hut goes up. More than 1,000 ceremonies have been held in it since.
Today: More than fifteen spaces, nine horses and a community that keeps building.

Seven places you will get to know during your week.

02 / The Oracle

Sixteen pillars of Jalisco onyx, each carved with a rune. Bring a question and choose a column. We also use it for outdoor yoga, meditation and closing dinners.

03 / The horses

Nine horses, five of them born on the Finca. Trail rides into the hills, equine therapy, and lessons in how to care for them. No experience needed.

The palapa and outdoor tables beside Lake Avalón

Koi, turtles and a palapa by the water. Loungers in the sun, a long table for dinners, and a trail around the shore for evening walks.
