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.

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!

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

Nothing conpares
I've been to many plant medicine retreats before...up until now I realized I was only scratching the surface with them. The small group size, and Danilos expert guidance will take you way deep into your traumas and clear what no longer is needed. Words can't do it justice. It's just something you have to experience.

This is my second time with Danilo and Ilse, and I went deeper than Ive ever gone. What an amazing experience. The energy there is pure and loving. Much love and respect to you guys. I will be back -J

A little heaven in the mountains near Málaga
From the beautiful dome where the ceremonies take place to the stunning surrounding nature and the absolutely amazing food, everything about this retreat felt special.

Danilo’s deep knowledge of the medicine creates such a sense of safety and trust, while Martin’s magical voice and guitar truly touch your soul. Seeing the kids around with Ilse, and playing with the dogs, made the atmosphere even more peaceful and heartwarming.

The small group size made the experience wonderfully intimate. I connected deeply with everyone there. Throughout my time, I went through so many emotions. At times it was intense and transformative, other moments were calm, joyful, and full of laughter, which is exactly what I needed.

I’m deeply grateful for this experience. It was truly incredible, and I’m so glad I chose From Gaia For You to heal and understand myself more deeply.

So good I had to return
3 months ago I had a profound life changing experience, I decided to come back for more. I cant say how this time has affected or changed me (No doubt equally if not more profound this time) as its too soon however like always I was met with compassion, support and space to be myself. Danilo, Ilse and Martin are all very competent in this field. I would highly recommend to anyone whether if they are seasoned in retreat experience or their completely new.

What I Found in Danilo’s House Wasn’t What I Expected
There are hardly words to capture the short but unforgettable life I’ve lived in Danilo’s house. My thoughts condensed into five days of discovery:

Day 1: Ok—this is something new. Let’s see where it takes me.
Day 2: Interesting… at times intense. But really, what am I doing here?
Day 3: Ah, ok... now I understand why I’m here..
Day 4: Wait - what just happened yesterday?? Was that even real???
Day 5: This is what I’ve been missing, but didn't know. I’m so grateful I came.

The journey doesn’t end on the last day of the retreat—it begins there.

Danilo’s house is filled with love, joy, and deep acceptance. That doesn’t mean you won’t be challenged—you will—but always with kindness and compassion at the core.

P.S. Bonus points if you can hold your own in a game of billiards 😉
