Life changing for all health care processionals.
Coming into this retreat, I carried with me years of training as a clinician and a scientist. I went through medical school, dental specialization, and countless hours in hospitals and clinics. My approach to life has always been grounded in evidence, research, and reproducible results. For that reason, I did not expect that a retreat with sacred medicine would affect me so deeply. Yet what I experienced here is something that no textbook or lecture hall could ever prepare me for.
The setting created by Danilo, Ilsa, and Martin was unlike anything I had known. It was intentional, respectful, and filled with care. They created a space that felt at once safe and profoundly meaningful, where it was possible to step beyond the clinical lens of science and into an encounter with something larger. Every moment, from the music to the silence, from the conversations to the guidance, was aligned with a sense of purpose and deep respect.
The medicine itself worked on levels that I cannot fully explain through anatomy or biochemistry. It reached into places where the human heart and mind hold pain, and it revealed paths toward healing that conventional methods rarely touch. It was not entertainment, it was not distraction, it was a confrontation with truth and a reminder of what it means to be alive. I faced myself, my fears, and also the presence of love in a way that transformed me.
What struck me most is that the scientific and the spiritual are not in conflict. My years of training in medicine gave me the tools to see the body and the mind. This retreat reminded me that there is also a dimension of the human experience that science alone does not map, but that is no less real. To integrate both is not to abandon reason, but to expand it.
I am grateful beyond words to Danilo, Ilsa, and Martin. They cared for each participant as if we were family, and they carried the responsibility of this work with dignity and devotion. For anyone considering this path, especially those who come from a background of science or medicine, I can only say that it is worth stepping into. It may open your understanding of healing and humanity in a way that changes the course of your life
