Amayama

I had an amazing experience at this retreat. The venue itself is perfect — peaceful, serene, and the ideal place to unwind and reconnect. But what truly makes this place special are the people. Their warmth, care, and energy created an atmosphere that felt welcoming and inspiring from the very beginning. I left feeling renewed and grateful, and I know for sure that I’ll be returning.

This retreat wasn’t my first time at Amayama ! Going back brings a strong feeling of coming home and at the same time of a new beginning. Layer by layer, Axis and Chiara have accompanied me, with their wisdom, incredible experience, love, care and healing abilities, in what I can only describe as a spiritual and physical rebirth.

Not only did I find answers to my deep rooted spiritual questions since childhood, but I also experienced an unexpected and incredible healing of a 12 year old auto-immune disease (Hashimoto).

For more than 10 years, I had to take daily Thyroid medications in high doses and struggled with hypothyroid related symptoms (low energy, slow metabolism, brain fog, hair loss, weight gain, etc.). Today I am completely free, both of the medication and of the symptoms. After extensive blood tests over several months, I can officially say that I am cured !
A big part of this healing came through the Soma sessions I did with Axis, which supported a profound physical release and rebalancing in my body.
It still feels surreal…this illness had ruled my daily life for so many years, and suddenly I was free of it ! It now seems as a long distant memory and never have I been so full of energy (to the dismay of those close to me, who I now exhaust 😬) ! It’s like rediscovering both body and heart !

Every step of the way, Axis and Chiara have been present to help and support this healing process but also to accompany me after the retreat in the so important integration process !

In this mind blowing journey, I found healing, deep peace and a renewed gratitude for being alive.

And how not to talk about the property…!! The garden that lets you travel to the jungle, the temple that is magical in so many ways (Gracias, Aya! 🙏), the house full of life, and the incredible food prepared with so much love…everything is made to make you feel at Home, to make you feel held and secure.

Such intense experiences need a safe, sacred space to blossom. I am so very grateful for having found that space, where everything is led with Heart and Truth. I am deeply grateful to every member of Amayama’s team: Axis and Chiara, whose guidance is beyond words, and also Vincente and Sylvie, who make the house feel like family and nourish everyone with such warmth and care. 💚💚💚

There are no words to explain how transformative this experience, this journey is... Maybe only this, to paraphrase Axis : It is a path that allows us to become our most authentic self, full of life, light and joy !

Gracias, gracias, gracias, to everyone of you, who bring Light and Love into the world with such grace and talent ! 🙏🙏🙏
