La Medicina

I came here on someone else’s strong recommendation, and I’m forever grateful that I did. This retreat was so incredibly grounding, and the staff provide such a safe container for the participants.

The medicine was handled with respect and the healers were genuine, kind, and incredibly gifted. I truly can’t recommend this place enough, whether it’s your first time or you’re seasoned in taking medicine.

I attended my first ever Ayahuasca ceremony at La Medicina. I journeyed by myself to the Amazon from NYC (a whole other jungle). I was nervous, tired from the pre ceremony dieta and had a handful of friends telling me I was insane. I heard the call from Spirit and I answers. I pull tarot and got the best cards for this center. It was an experience beyond my comprehension. It was scary, it was confronting and it was simultaneously healing and beautiful. The facilitators are kind, supportive and real. The Curanderos are gifted, loving and incredibly generous with their gifts and energy. The land was beautiful and though it took me a solid 24 hours to adjust from car horns and screaming to the amazing orchestra of insect sounds at night, by day 3, it started to feel like home. I have no single experience to point out that was extraordinary, the experience as a whole was everything one would need when taking this journey. It is a very sacred and personal one, but the team from facilitators to groundskeepers at La Medicina all played a crucial role in ensuring it was what was needed to support one in that very personal experience. I highly recommend La Medicina for a first, second or third experience and look forward to going again. P.S. I always felt 1000% safe in all respects. 💜🌙

My home away from home. 🩷 Words fall short when I try to describe the love I have for La Medicina. I have experienced some of the most beautiful & transformative moments of my life with them. It is, without question, the best place I have ever been & ever will go for Ayahuasca. I’ve been fortunate to return many times, & every journey has been nothing short of remarkable.

Kasey & Vlad are truly exceptional facilitators. 💯 They are compassionate, attentive, & wholeheartedly dedicated to the well-being of everyone throughout the entire journey. You can see & feel the love they have for their work in the care & devotion they pour into everything & everyone. Their presence & commitment leave a lasting impression. 🥹
The Maestros are magical. ✨ Their voices, their icaros… it’s hard to describe how deeply they land until you’re there. They hold the space with such strength & gentleness, guiding you even in the toughest moments. Being in ceremony with them feels like being held by something ancient & wise.

The location itself is pretty & peaceful. Tucked into the Amazon jungle, surrounded by all that life & stillness at the same time. It’s the kind of environment that naturally pulls you inward & helps you slow down & really listen. It is the perfect setting for transformation, reflection, & connection. 🌿
The food is absolutely delicious. They bring so much creativity to each meal while fully respecting the Ayahuasca dieta. Every dish is wholesome, fresh, & surprisingly flavorful. I always make a point to write down what I eat there so I can try to recreate it at home, with varying levels of success, lol.
Everything about La Medicina is simply perfect. This place, & the people within it, have left a profound & lasting imprint on my life. The wisdom, the care, & the genuine love I’ve received here have held me through some of my most transformative moments. For anyone on their own journey of healing or self-discovery, my experience with La Medicina has been nothing short of life-changing. Thank you, all of you, from the deepest part of my heart. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

I recently attended the 6 day retreat at La Medicina.
From the intake process to the beginnings of the integration work, La Medicina operated with integrity, holding safety and containment for all of us , as individuals and as a group of 11. The mastery Vlad and Kasey hold on this plant medicine was evident in their words and actions.
The property itself is beautiful, landscaped and with a diversity of jungle wildlife, sounds that I had not yet heard in my lifetime, sounds that I will remember for the rest of my life. The accommodation was very comfortable with hot showers and spring fed drinkable water, the food incredible with variety on each day and prepared with love and care, ensuring nourishment for the inner work ahead.
This was my first experience of drinking the medicine and I found peace that I could not have imagined. I now understand the statement "the medicine will give you what you need".
I highly recommend La Medicina and hope to return in the future.

My 1 week retreat at La Medicina was the truly the most life changing experience in my whole life. Not only the place is heaven on Earth, lush, beautiful, magical, purpose built; but the owners and the staff are incredibly nice, knowledgeable, professional and humble. They really went over and beyond no matter what, supported the whole group with their full attention and guidance. I wish everyone would have the chance to go to this place and do inner work. I will definitely come back to this pleace in the coming years! Irake Maestra Tania, Irake Maestro Gabriel, Irake Kasey, Irake Vlad!
