Calea z.
Dream Herb Ceremony
A Gentle Journey into the Realm of Dreams, Subconscious Healing & Nature Immersion
At Ek Lum Tulum, we invite you to explore the subtle yet profound power of Calea Zacatechichi, often known as the "Dream Herb" or "Mexican Dream Herb."
This sacred plant offers a unique pathway to deep introspection, emotional processing, and spiritual insight through the transformative world of your dreams, all while immersed in the natural embrace of our beachfront sanctuary.
Calea is generally considered a subtle plant medicine. When consumed in waking hours, its effects are mild – a slight shift in consciousness, perhaps enhanced sensory perception. Its primary effects manifest during sleep.
Calea is not a strong visionary psychedelic like Ayahuasca or Psilocybin.
It's has been revered for centuries by indigenous cultures for its ability to enhance dream recall, increase dream vividness, and promote lucid dreaming. It's a gentle guide, inviting you to journey inward to your subconscious mind, where much of our healing and wisdom resides, harmonizing with the rhythms of the ocean.

A Sacred & Secluded Beachfront Setting: Experience the profound peace of our private, pristine beachfront.
