Conscious Hub

I wanted to write sooner, but the experience of this program was so profound that it took time to digest. Even now, words feel limited when trying to describe what happened.

To summarize the tangible changes I experienced from the program, I created the acronym LEPHARD (a bit geeky, I know). This playful acronym reflects the intentions I planted during the journey, which are now continuing to grow and take root in my life.

L = Love.
I feel love both internally and externally on a level I never thought was possible.

E = Empathy.
This naturally connects to love. I now feel a deeper understanding of other people’s emotions, which has strengthened my ability to connect, trust, and help others. Relationships feel more natural and authentic.

P = Passion.
Before the program, I was searching for more clarity about my career path. By reconnecting more deeply with my heart, I discovered a clearer direction and a tangible path for the passions I want to follow.

H = Healing.
I experienced healing in several areas of my life, both physical and psychological. I also realised that my own healing can create a ripple effect that inspires healing in others.

A = Acceptance.
I’ve learned to embrace imperfections and see beauty in them. My relationship with life’s ups and downs has changed. By flowing with life, just as I did during the program and with Ayahuasca, life feels lighter and more meaningful. Pain and challenges no longer carry the same weight they once did.

R = Reprogrammed.
I feel changed in subtle but powerful ways. I gained a deeper understanding of how beliefs shape our reality, and I now feel more aligned with my heart’s intentions.

D = Depth.
During the experience I felt as if I touched something infinitely deep, what I can only describe as infinite intelligence. It felt like stepping outside the limited identity of “Marius” and experiencing non-duality and infinity. It was, and still is, mind-blowing. The experience was so meaningful that it even inspired a tattoo of a Yin-Yang symbol looping into infinity.

The overall effect of this journey is that I feel calmer, more loving, more energized, and more aligned with life. I now navigate life more through intuition and heart. Making decisions and finding direction feels easier. I trust the universe more and resist life less. I spend more time in nature, eat healthier, and feel more deeply connected to myself and the world around me.

Physically, many of my injuries have improved. I feel stronger, more flexible, and have greater endurance. I smile more. My body feels more relaxed, and my voice carries more confidence.

Most importantly, I have developed a deeper trust in life and a sense of flow that allows love and a higher intelligence to guide me beyond what I previously thought was possible.

For me, this has been a true paradigm shift.

This retreat is above and beyond! Truly life changing. Didn’t expect to find my deepest trauma and find healing for it in 4 days. I’ve come home with a heart full of love and knowing what to work with and towards.

This is so much more than a retreat; it’s a journey of discovery in a fully supported space. I discovered how to tune into my feelings, that it feels good to feel and share feelings freely. I left fully grounded and back in the driving seat of my own life. Post this beautiful experience, I’ve made positive changes in my life and I feel empowered to make big decisions about the trajectory of the next phase of my life. The word that resonates for me most is ‘renaissance’. The Conscious Hub team are more than a team, they have a sense of true unity between them which ripples out. They are there at every moment of uncertainty with a kind word of encouragement and understanding, a hug, a smile, a stroke of hair, a holding of your hand…their superpower is that they seem to know what you need before you do! It was really noticeable that a number of people arrived pale and feeling fractured but left with cheeks full of colour, a twinkle in the eye and a bounce in the step. That tells you all you need to know really! 💯 highly recommended. Your future self will thank you! Thank you Colin, Ariana and your beautiful tribe. 💕

I’ve had the privilege of attending The Conscious Hub retreat in Malaga twice now, and each time has been nothing short of life-changing. From the moment you walk through the door, there’s an overwhelming sense of coming home, a profound feeling of love, openness, and honesty that holds you in the most sacred way from arrival to departure.

Set in the tranquil mountains of Spain, the location itself is breathtaking. It’s a peaceful sanctuary where nature seems to embrace you, allowing your mind to quiet and your heart to open. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, from the incredible nourishing food to the serene spaces designed for reflection and connection.

Guided by Colin and Ariana, two truly extraordinary souls, I’ve journeyed deeper into myself than I ever thought possible. Through their wisdom, insight, and unwavering support, I’ve worked through deep-seated fears, strengthened my self-confidence, reignited my motivation, and uncovered parts of myself I’d long forgotten. Colin’s depth of experience, combined with his humble, powerful presence, brings so much clarity and inspiration. Ariana’s angelic voice and the ethereal music she, Celly and Sergio create during ceremonies, with singing, drumming, and instruments, craft an atmosphere that is nothing short of cosmic. It’s an experience that moves through every cell of your body and lifts your spirit to places words can hardly capture.

But it’s not just about the ceremonies. It’s the community you become part of. I’ve formed the most incredible friendships and found not only phenomenal coaches in Colin and Ariana, but lifelong friends. The entire team of facilitators radiates such authenticity and compassion, ensuring you feel safe, supported, and truly seen.

I can’t stress this enough: if you genuinely want to do the work, to look within, heal, grow, and change your life for the better, this is an experience everyone should have at least once. I couldn’t imagine embarking on a plant medicine journey with anyone other than Colin and Ariana. They are sacred, special people doing truly divine work.

For me, The Conscious Hub is far more than just the best plant medicine retreat, it’s a homecoming to self, a gateway to profound transformation, and a space where lifelong bonds are formed. I’m endlessly grateful for these experiences, and I know I’ll carry their magic with me always.

If you’re looking for an Ayahuasca retreat, look no further. Coming to this retreat was one of the most meaningful decisions I’ve ever made for myself. I know taking a journey like this can come with its hesitations, but I assure you, you are in the best hands with the Conscious Hub's incredible team. If you’re feeling the call to go, trust it. You won’t regret it.
