Our vision is to create a sanctuary of healing, transformation, and love — a home and family where you’re held with honesty, care, and compassion. Whether you’re taking your first step with plant medicine or deepening your journey, our intimate retreats — with small groups of up to six — offer a safe, nurturing space for profound self-discovery. We offer a unique combination of the use of Plant Medicines such as Ayahuasca, Kambo, San Pedro, Bufo Alvarius and Cacao in combination with a variety of holistic practices & deep integrative spaces. During our retreats we guide you in releasing what no longer serves you, gaining clarity, and reconnecting with joy, creativity, and love. Our experienced, devoted team walks with you every step of the way, offering warmth, safety, and support.
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!

Landmark in my journey of remembrance
One of the hardest, most beautiful and profound experiences I have ever had to this moment. Led by love and care Danilo, Ilse and Martin created an environment of support and knowledge that allowed me to see through the layers of trauma/conditioning, experiencing myself truly. Returning back to things that I always knew but allowing me to reconnect with them from a silent space, giving clarity and re establishing my relationship with my inner compass. The challenging journey to the medicine was equally as enlightening as the medicine itself. I came with curiosity asking answers to certain questions and what I got was the clarity to answer any question that really come my way as long as remain connected to the space I earned for myself with the support of the facilitators and medicine. The knowing that all the answers we already have within. Even though the retreat offered me more then what I came there for, coming back to reality I understand that the freedom remembered is not guaranteed from these 5 extraordinary days but a constant surrender and trust towards that sacred inner space in order to remain open, silent and honest enough to keep it alive. Words can't describe the gratitude I feel towards myself, the people along that journey and decisions the led me there. Thank you.

My most beautiful and tranformative experience
I chose From Gaia for You due to the kindness I experiences right from the first message exchanges. Ilse was patient and open and answered all my questions.
I felt I needed to let go of decades of hurt and anger and hatred and reconnect with my heart.
Danilo was very nice and listed to me during the initial intake calls and took the time to check back on me.
Right upon arrival I was greeted with genuine kindness and love that can only come from a pure heart. I met the other participants, got to settle in and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The whole 5 days were masterfully organized and every assignment, every activity and every ceremony built on the previous one and led us to where we each needed to get.
Danilo guided each of us according to our needs and allowed me to overcome myself and my limitations.
The Ayahuasca ceremonies were beautiful and deep. Ilse, Danilo and Martin made us all feel safe and at home, which allowed us to let go and dive deep. The music, chanting and sound bath were amazing and supported my transformation in an undescribable way.
I am eternally grateful to Ilse, Danilo, Martin, Gaia and Porchi and Luna for this experience and I will be back next year!

The feelings, emotions and shift that I felt within myself was something I never expected in such a short time.
Wow. This was so much more than I bargained for. It was magical.
I felt so welcomed and cared for by all the family and Martin. The feelings, emotions and shift that I felt within myself was something I never expected in such a short time. I have been home for a week and I'm still feeling the benefits. The peace I have is far beyond any peace I knew before. If ayahuasca is calling you, please respond. You're ready to take a step towards an amazing and worthwhile journey. Much love and gratitude to you all. I will return!!!

IF CALLED, COME HERE
There are no amount or selection of words that can encapsulate how incredible this experience was. I am a 23yo female, American solo traveler and attended this retreat at the end of a full month of backpack travel; I knew how transformational this experience was going to be but now that I am a few weeks out of it ... I feel endlessly grateful for each and every moment. Not only were Ilse and Danilo the most kind and beautiful hosts I could have asked for, but the intimate feeling of a group of 5 of us was perfect for building connection while going inward and exploring your self. I could go on and on about how intentional and transformational the 5 days were, but I will leave you with this - If you feel called to go inward, to grow through discomfort and face parts of yourself you haven't seen yet, and to feel a sense of joy and bliss you've never felt BOOK NOW. Will it be easy? Absolutely not, but I have found a deep resilience and sense of Self that can withstand all the suffering I have and will encounter. Since the retreat, I feel so deeply connected to my higher self, more accepting of each present moment and the people around me, and overall so "on fire" for this incredible life we get to live on this BEAUTIFUL planet ...
Food - AMAZING
Beds - SO COMFY
Host / Family - LOVE & WELCOMING
Music - Will change your life alone (:
