One of the things that we have comprehended during our journey with Plant Medicines is that having a feeling of safety is one of the most important things. For this reason we created our home into a temple. A place where you can feel at home, where you can feel safe and loved and held during your stay with us! You are more then just a participant, you are part of our family when we welcome you here. Our place is completely surrounded by nature and privacy!

The retreat was truly life changing. Danilo's guidance and expertise with plant medicine has been like years of therepy in 5 days. The retreat is surrounded by nature and was very pleasant for me when hiking.

Gained valuable insight tha ks to ayahuasca and Danilo, Ilse and Martin took it further by cementing the realizations and going deeper into them. Truly thankful to everyone.

First Time Experience Converted Into Life Changing Experience
Let me first start by saying that Danilo, Ilse, and Bruno are a class act.
Ill summarize the experience first:
1. World class hospitality in the comfort of their own home.
2. Serene, quiet setting surrounded by nature and walking trail.
3. Small group setting allowed for focused 1-on-1 attention throughout the experience.

This was my first time ever with plant medicine, and/or a spiritual retreat of any kind. I wouldn't say that I was skeptical, I just didn't know what to expect. I've had a calling to try aya for the year leading up to it, and finally decided to bite the bullet. And boy am I glad that I did. This experience was truly life-changing-- and I don't say that lightly.

I flew into Malaga and spent a day in the city before starting the 5-day Christmas retreat. The drive to their location was easy and they are able to arrange transportation for you if needed. Upon arrival, the reception was warm and welcoming and they made you feel like you've already known them for years.

I'll spare you the details of MY particular experience with the plant medicine because I believe that it would be very specific to the individual (and what they're looking to achieve). But, I will say that I got WAY more than I anticipated out of the experience. It was absolutely magical. Not in the sense of just any psychedelic experience, but more so in the sense of connecting to bigger parts of you (and the universe) that I didn't know existed previously. It was beautiful. It taught me love. It showed me true peace. It gave me a sense of serenity that I still feel to this day (almost one month later). It was truly the most important thing that I've done in my life. Again, I don't say that lightly.

The plant purge at the beginning combined with the meditation and fasting was a cleanse like I've never had before. Before this retreat, I have been fasting weekly for 36-hours so I'm no stranger to fasting. This plant purge was way more powerful and effective than anything I'd done previously. The same goes for both Kombo sessions we did. They were so powerful that I decided to get the Kombo markings tattooed on my body, so that I never forget what that felt like.

By integrating the plant medicine with the San Pedro, the Cacao, or the Rapeh-- you will have the opportunity to experience the different ways that ayahuasca can be used to achieve different experiences. Finally, we were also able to experience Bufo at the end of the retreat. That was such an extraordinary experience that will also stick with me for a long time to come.

I know this is a long review, but I only type this because it was truly life changing, and so so worth it. The other participants with me also left with raving reviews and we all had such a great experience. Thank you Danilo, Ilse, Bruno, Gaia, and Porchi for changing my life, my perspective, and my vision of the world. I will never forget this experience thanks to you, and I will definitely be back again.

I can't wait to show you guys my new ayahuasca tattoos when I return hopefully very very soon! Wishing you all the best and congratulations on all that you've accomplished. Thank you for all that you do :)


All my love,
Naif.

Life Changing
I understood that this experience would be beneficial to some degree, however my involvement in this retreat was life changing. I've been pretending for years that lying about myself to others was protecting them, when it was only hurting me. Loving yourself is being openly honest and true with others - not hiding in order to "protect" inconvenient truths. This session has helped me focus on loving myself. This cleansing experience has rejuvenated me and I'm looking forward to my next visit with this beautiful family and magical ambiance.

Truly Connected
I'm eternally grateful for Danilo, Ilse, and Bruno for providing a truly transformative and loving experience. I traveled there for my second time with two of my business partners. I came into the retreat feeling disconnected from my spirituality and my journey. Danilo, Bruno and Ilse guided me through helping me see and purge my own internal struggles and darkness, and connect with and ground my body and spirit, and I feel at peace and one with everything. They have created a beautiful and magical place for healing the mind, body and soul. I'm feeling so much love and appreciation and look forward to sharing my experience and returning in the future.
