DEAR CREATOR…
You feel it in your bones.
The time has come.
A new paradigm is calling you.
You find yourself in the cocoon…
Not yet sure what it will feel like…
To fly.
You are ready. Ready to…
Reclaim your birthright.
Experience true abundance.
Feel deep confidence.
See with supreme clarity.
Share your gifts.
Experience real freedom.
Re-enchant your world.
Open your heart.
Reconnect to the living cosmos.
Be who you truly are.
•
Somewhere in your heart, you know…
You are not meant to do it alone.
Something BIG is being born in your life.
A new world of possibility.
For this monumental process, you need support.
You need a container, an incubator, a tribe, a sanctuary.
A place where the new can take root.
A place where you can fully let go and let Divinity move.
When the creator is ready, the sanctuary appears.
If these words resonate…
Welcome home.
REBIRTH was made for you.
A Look Inside Apotheosis…
A shamanic jungle oasis…
APOTHEOSIS: REBIRTH is a 2-month initiation for creators who are rising into a new paradigm of wisdom, purpose, connection, and agency.
Apotheosis is a sanctuary for old souls.
We create a sacred structure within which you do the deepest work of your life.
We combine a robust curriculum with a 7-day plant medicine retreat in the jungles of Mexico.
From day one, this journey is designed to call you forward into your true self.
We don’t want your spiritual masks. We want the full expression of who you are.
When you commit to this journey, you make a deep commitment to prioritize every session.
When you treat these sessions as a sacred weekly practice and show up for them wholeheartedly, profound shifts begin to occur.
The in-person medicine retreat with Bufo & Ayahuasca is the pinnacle of the Apotheosis experience and takes place ~3 weeks into your journey.
This gives us ample time to prepare you for the experience, as well as plenty of time for all of us to integrate afterwards.
Throughout the 2-month experience, our curriculum equips you with an embodied roadmap of soul-actualization.
This is what makes us different.
Rooted in lineage, we develop the pillars of heart-led leadership, community stewardship, and sovereign evolution.
You will become the greatest version of yourself and have the resources/knowledge/experiences needed to step into greater levels of leadership, environmental stewardship, and deep service for all you meet.
As long-time stewards of HighExistence & Apotheosis, we are creators with decades of combined experience following our souls and actualizing our gifts in the world, touching the lives of millions of people in the process.
We take you by the hand and show you a whole new world of possibilities for your life. We equip you with the best practices & understandings that have made all the difference for us and our communities.
REBIRTH is the Crown Jewel of what we do here.
It is an initiatory breakthrough that alters the trajectory of your life.
If you feel the call, we welcome you with open arms.
““It was the most profound experience of my life. The healing and growth I experienced in a single week is beyond anything I could have imagined.””
THIS IS FOR YOU, IF…
This is for brave souls who know they are ready to be reborn.
A phoenix-like incineration of the old, and a sacred birth of the New.
For those ready to step into deeper levels of wisdom, purpose, mastery, and service.
For those who sense that life can be more beautiful than you’ve ever dared to dream.
For those who know there’s something greater to life, and are ready to find it.
For those who are ready to rediscover life as a miraculous flow of infinite possibilities.
For those rising to new levels of heart-led leadership.
Those who are ready to sing the song that only you can sing.
““Apotheosis changed my life! I struggled with sobriety and mental illness for years and Apotheosis gave me the tools to overcome my limitations and thrive!””
““[I feel] absolutely blessed, enchanted, and transformed… It will blow your ever-loving mind, heart, spirit and soul wide open! You will see and experience incredible things that you will never be able to forget! Honor your highest self and GO!!!””
““Mind-blowing! Lacking words to describe the feeling. It’s a clear and important milestone in my life. The week has been a refuge, socially, emotionally and spiritually. I have connected, learned and experienced more than I thought possible.””
Apotheosis Medicines
The medicines we work with have been curated to unlock dormant capacities, facilitate transcendent experiences, and revitalize your visionary capacity to become the best version of yourself.
We balance sacred ceremony with stillness and silence throughout the retreat. Every medicine and each moment has been refined to be of the greatest service to your highest evolution.
1 Unbelievable Community: Real community is our true medicine. If you don’t get it yet, you will.
1 Bufo Alvarius Ceremony: ‘The God Molecule’ – one 5-MeO-DMT ceremony with Bufo Alvarius.
3 Shipibo Ayahuasca Ceremonies: ‘The Spirit Vine’ – 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies in the Shipibo lineage.
2 Breathwork Ceremonies: Truly transformative experiences through the power of breath.
(Optional) Rapé & Mapacho: Work with the ‘Grandfather’ master plant mapacho tobacco.
Ayahuasca and Bufo Alvarius are two medicines that have given our team truly indescribable gifts of healing, illumination, and connection to the Divine. When experienced in a sanctuary such as Kumankaya, in a space held by masterful shamans, the potential of these medicines is beyond words.
We view these medicines as sacraments—initiatory portals to unfathomable Love and Grace.
They are not for the faint of heart, yet for those who feel the call, and who sit with them in a pristine shamanic Eden such as Kumankaya, the experience is likely to be a monumental, unforgettable, life-altering milestone.
Curriculum & Experience
Our mission is to reconnect courageous humans to their wisdom, purpose, and the living cosmos.
To do this, we’ve taken the best of ancient and modern techniques to create a ~2-month curriculum to radically expand your possibility, strength, perspective, and personal power.
Every week includes reading material, embodied practices, and holistic discussion to help you master the theory and deeply integrate the practices – creating a holistic foundation for long-term flourishing.
We have helped hundreds of individuals develop their core foundations:
Deep Healing: Experience a profound sense of belonging, the joy of living, and the simplicity of lowering your defences.
Life Purpose: Unlock visionary clarity into why you are here on this planet, at this time.
Community Leadership: Become a pillar and leader for your community, creating ripple effects of change in the world around you.
We go above and beyond the call of duty and provide our comprehensive curriculum for free.
Far beyond a retreat, REBIRTH has been designed to be a life-changing inflection point, a true milestone in your life.
““The medicines, combined with the incredibly supportive container of the Apotheosis team, brought everything to the surface in a way I could have never imagined. It was one of the most difficult yet simultaneously liberating weeks of my life, and I am so grateful for the experience. I left the retreat feeling lighter and more open than I’ve felt in many years.””
““Apotheosis was completely life-changing. The value of Apotheosis lies in empowering yourself, connecting with like-minded people and being open to being transformed to once again recognize the divine beings in each and every one of us.”
““I feel amazing. I developed, and am developing, a re-connection with my body… I also feel much more connected to the world and confident about its future. I feel more actively engaged in the world, rather than struggling against it.””

Inside Kumankaya
The creators of Kumankaya are Remi and Ashley Delaune, two benevolent curanderos who radiate great compassion, grace, and wisdom.
In an earlier chapter of life, Remi was a Christian monk for 20 years, living largely in silence in France. During that time he earned two PhDs in Theology and Philosophy, reading thousands of books on the nature of reality.
12 years ago, Remi was summoned to the medicine path, and spent some ~4.5 years living mostly in isolation in the Peruvian jungle, learning from a Shipibo master, drinking ayahuasca and dieting master plants. A shaman we know described Remi as “the most advanced Western shaman I have ever encountered.”

What participants are saying
“I’m a Completely different person.”
““Apotheosis was more transformative than I ever could have imagined. I’m a completely different person - still myself, but utterly changed. My expectations were exceeded a hundredfold. THIS is what life can be - this is the beauty, the connection, the love, the belief that is possible! Apotheosis is a beacon of hope and light for what the rest of your life can look like, if you so choose. I’m infinitely grateful. My heart is full.””
“Everyone needs to do this.”
““Don’t think. Just go. That’s it. Everyone needs to do this. Every single human being on the planet needs to do this at least once a year. There’s no doubt about it.””
“life-changing. nothing short of that.”
““The expectation I had was that I was going to pick up a few meditation techniques and get a bit better at yoga, and instead my mind was blown. I went so much deeper than I thought was even possible and there were so many more things I had to explore that I didn’t even know were there. It was legitimately life-changing. Nothing short of that.””
““The most valuable lesson that I’ve learned in the last few days was actually learning my true value as a human being and being able to express myself to other humans, to spread my love, and take care of my inner child which has not been taken care of properly.””
““You don’t need to feel miserable for the rest of your life. Imagine if your angst could be wiped away in a week of very agreeable, loving and mindblowing experiences, and that this betterment set the foundation for a wiser and happier life path, wouldn’t you do it?””
““It brought everything to the surface in a way I could have never imagined. It was one of the most difficult yet simultaneously liberating weeks of my life, and I am so grateful for the experience. I left the retreat feeling lighter and more open than I’ve felt in many years.””

Questions? Answers.
-
You feel the call, like an intuitive voice that doesn’t go away. You are nostalgic for a future that you haven’t experienced yet, with a deep knowing that a different way of being is possible. So long as you have a desire to be of service, we will get you fit for it.
-
Commonly, ayahuasca is a medicinal admixture made by preparing a combination of the ayahuasca vine with the leaves of the chacruna plant. These work symbiotically to enable the natural NN, DMT of the chacruna leaves to become orally active. It is a shamanic healing tool that can bring about transformative healing experiences, mystical/spiritual moments, and visionary insights.
-
‘Bufo’ is shorthand for the secretion of the bufo alvarius toad. Among other compounds, it contains 5-MeO-DMT, one of the strongest psychedelic/entheogenic compounds known to man. It is vaporized and then smoked. It is a powerful experience that is well-suited for facilitating a deep reconnection to the divine, opening the heart, and enabling cathartic healing experiences.
-
We have a maximum capacity of 12 participants per retreat. There are 2-3 facilitators, plus the 4-5 members of Kumankaya’s team. That’s 1 facilitator for every 2 participants, an unmatched ratio in this work.
-
All accommodations at Kumankaya are shared. There are 2 people per room, matched by biological sex. We match everyone based on shared history, compatibility, and more.

Apotheosis is far more than a 1-week retreat. Not only do we provide a comprehensive 2-week preparation and 6-week integration program for free, but we have crafted a core curriculum focused on empowering individuals to create their own meaning structures, step into local leadership in their lives at home, and embrace guardianship and stewardship of the natural world. Rooted in ancient lineage and modern science, we take a stand, and move participants toward a deeper level of wisdom, purpose, and connection with the living cosmos. Our aims of community leadership, nature guardianship, and comprehensive toolkits are unique to us and are not offered at all, nor at this level, by other retreat organizations or centers.
-
Our curriculum focuses on 3 core pillars: heart-led leadership, finding meaning in a world that has lost it, and empowering you to take initiative in your community back at home. Everything we do is in service of our mission to help courageous humans reconnect to their wisdom, purpose, and the living planet.

Kumankaya has never had a serious incident occur on their property—and we consider it very safe so long as you remain mindful and stay on the paths. That being said, we are going into the Mayan jungles of Mexico, ~2 hours outside of Tulum. There are rare venomous snakes in the surrounding area that can potentially be fatal. There are scorpions and tarantulas present but these are not fatal. Our team has Wilderness First Responder training, and comprehensive emergency protocols are in place. This is the jungle, and we are in the home of a dynamic living ecosystem.
-
Our facilitators decide their level of participation in ceremony, it is neither required nor forbidden. The ceremonies are held and conducted by the Kumankaya team—they will have ~3-4 facilitators present in each ceremony We are professionals, and it is important to our work and philosophy that we create a group ritual container to provide the greatest healing and transformation possible for all participants. When facilitators also receive medicine, it can greatly amplify the tribe’s cohesion, closeness, and sense of passing through a shared initiation.
