Hayulima Spiritual Sanctuary resides over 112 hectares of pristine and protected cloud forest located in Mindo, Ecuador. Hayulima's surrounding forest is teeming with an abundance of wildlife and native flora. Toucans, hummingbirds, butterflies, and countless other species inhabit the sacred space freely. Our various sacred ceremonies take place inside confortable malokas, teepees, and sweat-lodges. These locations serve as gathering points to meet, pray, sing, and share our time together.

Hayulima Is Where You Find Both Community & Family
I met Salvador in 2017 during a life-saving retreat in Cuenca, & followed him to Mindo with another life-saving retreat in October 2024. After the disaster of the 2024 election & the toxic political decline in the USA, I decided to move to Mindo so that I can work as a volunteer on a regular basis for upcoming retreats (Karma Yoga) with my first volunteer opportunity earlier this month (March 2025). I'm settling into life in Mindo & love both the Hayulima family & this amazing community where I intend to build an intentional sustainable living community. None of this would have been possible without the loving assistance of Salvador, Fernanda, Matias, Emalia, Deanna & Angela (whom I call Angel because she took me under her wing & has helped me become acclimated to my new home). I am so grateful for these amazing people & their loving care for me on my continued healing journey.

Supportive Jounrey
Amalia and Salvador have a large property with everything you need to feel supported on your journey. There are some malocas, a large one for community gathering and a smaller one for more intimate moments. The temezcal was done so well. The 4 tobacco ceremony was a full experience. Amalia did an amazing job guiding the whole process, leading the prayers and uniting the group with songs. I felt very safe to express myself and connect with he group in a way I've never done before. Salvador held the rhythm for maybe 3 hours straight... I admired his resilience and commitment.

The food was incredible and delivered always right when it needed to be. The volunteers were kind people that integrated into the group seamlessly. The beds were cozy and there were plenty of blankets. Their were sweet dogs on site and sometimes the wildlife came to say hello.

Really it was a great environment and I would love to return in the future.

What a place! True Sanctuary ❤
What a place! It is a true Sanctuary for your body, mind and soul. Medicine is one thing but community is another way to heal.

The Guridians of this land not only walk thier talk, but care for both the land and those who visit. Thier integrity and authenticity is truly felt, and I am deeply grateful for the privilege of discovering Hayulima.

Thank you for your care, guidance and companionship ❤ with love, Gosia

Awesome
Hayulima not only lies on a Beautiful property, it is also run by beautiful people. The shaman which I have met before at another location are genuinely caring and have my absolute trust. The food was incredible and the kitchen personal are super sweet. This is the only place I will do a medicine retreat. To anyone seeking the experience, I highly recommend that you will consider Hayulima as your choice. You will be in loving hands and have a wonderful experience.

My experience at Hayulima
Words are not strong enough to describe the experience I had at Hayulima. The place, the nature, the people, the food,...everything is amazing! The people are so nice, caring, humble and authentic, that just to be around them is healing. I feel privileged and blessed that my path crossed theirs. The amount of things that I learned, by being around them and through the medicine, is so overwhelming that it will take me months to unfold all that this experience brought to me. I feel that I received so so so much! This is life-changing, and in a very good and healthy way. I feel that I have not only found a new spiritual family that I love deeply, but I also came back home with the answers I was looking for, the missing pieces of my puzzle, a profound innerpeace, a more grounded presence and an endless gratitude.
Thanks to each and every soul that crossed my path at Hayulima. You'll always be in my heart. And we will see eachother again the next time I get the calling to sit with the medicine. In the meantime, I wish you all the best. Love, Isabelle
