Whether through fire and movement, breath and stillness, or cacao and heart, each path leads back to your essence.

Path of the Sacred Flame

Step into a sacred journey through nature, movement, and fire. This 3-day retreat invites you to awaken your inner flame through daily yoga, mountain hikes, guided meditation, and powerful fire ceremonies.

Let the land, the fire, and your breath lead you home to yourself.

This experience is soft yet profound—designed to align you with peace, presence, and purpose

This is a retreat to awaken your heart and calm your mind. Through sacred cacao ceremonies, restorative yoga, guided meditation, and immersive sound healing sessions using crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, handpans, and steel tongue drums—you’ll enter a space of deep peace and emotional release.

About us

Welcome to Quetzalli Rancho Sagrado

A sanctuary where silence speaks, nature heals, and the heart remembers its sacred path.

Nestled in the highlands of Puebla, Mexico, beneath the watchful arch of the historic Puente del Gato, Quetzalli Rancho Sagrado was born from a dream—a dream to return to the earth, to community, and to soul.

Founded by Brenda Bautista, a Mexican spiritual guide, retreat facilitator, and bridge between worlds, this sacred land is the culmination of decades of personal healing, intercultural experience, and devotion to inner growth.

After living 25 years in the United States and walking the paths of marriage, motherhood, and spiritual awakening, Brenda also faced the shadows that transform us: a painful divorce, heartbreak that left deep emptiness, health challenges that brought her face to face with vulnerability, and moments of discrimination due to her origins and faith. Along the way, she also healed invisible wounds—those of abuse, forced silence, and disconnection from herself.

Each fall was a calling. Each tear, a seed.
And in that process of reconstruction, Brenda discovered that her path was not only personal, but also collective. So she returned to her homeland to create a sacred refuge—a place where other souls could also find their voice, their peace, and their truth.

Quetzalli Rancho Sagrado was born from that inner fire.
A space where pain is transformed into medicine, and the soul finally remembers who it is.

The ranch is not just a retreat center—it is a living prayer. Every stone, every tree, and every session offered here is designed to help you reconnect with the wisdom of your own heart.

🌺 Our Vision

To create a space of transformation and remembrance, where silence, nature, and ancestral wisdom guide us back to our essence.

🧘 What We Offer

At Quetzalli Rancho Sagrado, we host intimate, soul-centered retreats including:

• Silent Retreats (like Silencio Sagrado)

• Cacao & Sound Healing Journeys

• Yoga, Meditation, and Qigong Workshops

• Ancestral Ceremonies & Fire Circles

• Holistic Wellness Experiences for Solo Travelers

• Bilingual Cultural Retreats & Language-Immersion Weekends

Each experience is rooted in Mexican tradition, sacred stillness, and deep respect for Mother Earth.

🌍 Why "Quetzalli"?

“Quetzalli” means precious feather in Nahuatl—a symbol of beauty, divinity, and connection to spirit. The Quetzal bird, sacred to Mesoamerican cultures, is our guide and guardian. We chose this name to honor the indigenous roots of this land and to remind all who come here that they, too, are sacred.

🌱 Who We Serve

We welcome healers, seekers, solo travelers, and the spiritually curious from all walks of life. No matter where you're from, if your heart longs for silence, healing, and reconnection—you belong here.

🙏 Bienvenidos a casa.

Here, you are not a guest.
You are a soul returning home.
