From Gaia for You

It was my first plant medicine retreat, I heard a lot about my friends experiences from other retreats, and I noticed non of them combined different medicine in one retreat , as I go through the process of this retreat I realized the importance of this sequence of different medicine to prepare you for a journey with ease and love where you can purge a lot of your fears and stress and resistance through the other medicine and plant purge before you start your Aya experience, this help you go through the journey with more openness and love where you can focus on getting answers or insights instead of cleaning ur body and fears, the purge of the Aya will be deeper . They are great family full of love and support, the dom they built is magical, the area of their house is perfect and the experience is full of love support and ease .

This is my second time coming to Danilo and Ilse and sitting with the medicine.
I love the atmosphere and the space they created and I love being there and bringing my loved ones to have the same experience.

Thank you so much

Everything was excellent. Very much an excellently held space by 2 wonderful humans. The retreat was very beneficial and I have absolutely zero complaints of my experience, during and after. Very open and caring space that allows trust. If you go to Danilo and Isle's retreat do so with full trust and you find what you are seeking or at the very least, open the door to yourself.

I am not the kind of person who writes reviews lightly, nor the kind who is easily swept away by extraordinary claims. I love science. I value evidence, rigour, and measured judgement. So when I say that what I experienced at this retreat changed me — genuinely, measurably, and hopefully permanently — I want you to understand the weight of those words.

I spent a considerable amount of time before committing to this. I researched. I deliberated. I nearly booked myself on a flight to the Amazon, convinced that the authentic jungle setting was non-negotiable. What I came to understand, slowly and then all at once, is that the setting matters far less than the people holding the space. That realisation brought me to Ilse and Danilo — and it was the best decision I have made in years. (For what it's worth, the retreat itself is set in an idyllic natural landscape. You will not feel short-changed on that front.)

I will not describe in detail what happened during those days. It would be both futile and, I think, a disservice to you. The reasons that bring each person to ayahuasca are their own. What you feel, what surfaces, what shifts — all of it will be uniquely yours. What I can tell you is that those days felt like one long, immersive dream. No words I reach for do justice to the experience, and I have made my peace with that.

it may be helpful to very briefly share why I went, to underlyine what I came back with.

I had lost myself. A prolonged period in a deeply toxic work environment had hollowed something out in me — layer by layer, quietly and then catastrophically. Insecurity had taken root. Impostor syndrome had become my constant companion. A heaviness had settled in that I had almost stopped noticing, the way you stop noticing a persistent noise until it suddenly disappears. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

I came back changed. There is no more precise way to say it. I carry a baseline of positive energy now that feels like my own — like something that was always there, returned to me. I have not stopped smiling. People around me have noticed before I even said a word. I have forgiven people and things and more importantinly i have forgiven myself. I feel strong, confident, and serene in a way I had not felt in years, perhaps ever.

None of that would have been possible without Ilse and Danilo. Their commitment — to the medicine, to the process, and to each guest — is genuine and palpable from the very first moment. Their positive energy is not performed. It is structural. It holds everything together.

If I were to offer one piece of advice to anyone considering this: relinquish control. Let them guide you. Resist the urge to ask too many questions or map out what is coming. It will take a day or two just to understand that time moves differently here, that the rhythm is not yours to set. Surrender to it. Focus inward. Listen to what comes from within you. There will be difficult moments — this is not a gentle or comfortable journey. But it is a real one.

I am glad I went. I am especially glad I went with Ilse and Danilo.

If you are looking for a place of true integrity, profound healing, and absolute safety to face your deepest layers, this is it! Do not hesitate to book your retreat!

It is not just an ordinary getaway; you are becoming a member of a beautiful Family. This connection gives the whole experience such a warm, personal touch.

Words can hardly describe the depth of the transformation, care, and love I experienced during this time. It was, without a doubt, the best thing I have ever done for myself. The space provided by Danilo and Ilse felt incredibly safe, grounded, and professional, which allowed me to fully surrender to the process. I experienced a profound somatic release of control, fear, and shame. I literally trembled years of trauma out of my nervous system.

Coming out of this retreat, I feel absolutely wonderful. I feel light, reconnected, and deeply healed. It was exactly what my soul, heart and body needed.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Luv, Aga
