Details of this retreat

Reconnect with your roots in the heart of the Bolivian rainforest
Do you feel a call to reconcile with your origins to move forward in your present? The rainforest of Coroico welcomes you to a sanctuary of rebirth.
Our Returning to Joy programme is a structured process designed to help you release deep-seated burdens, heal your foundational relationship with your mother, and blossom into your authentic self. We offer a safe and supportive space where nature is the primary healer.

Our Three-Pillar Approach
1. Preparation
Before the ceremony, we work on intention-setting. Through spiritual guidance with Ninfa, we prepare your mind and heart to receive the wisdom of the "Niños Santos" (Sacred Children).

2. The Experience
In the deep silence of Villa Bonita, you will participate in a profound Psilocybin Mushroom ceremony. This is a protected and sacred container led by experienced facilitators, focused on the theme: Embracing the Life Your Mother Gave You.

3. Integration
The journey continues after the ceremony. We provide dedicated time for integration through workshops and connection with the 5 Elemental Ancestors. This ensures that the insights you gain become lasting changes in your daily life.

The Villa Bonita Experience Includes:
❀ Sacred Medicine: A respectful and ceremonial encounter with Psilocybin mushrooms.
❀ Ancestral Workshops: Healing exercises and breathwork to ground your transformation.
❀ Authentic Setting: Stay at our natural sanctuary in Coroico. This is a place of simplicity and vital energy, where the focus is entirely on the surrounding nature and inner peace.
❀ Nourishing Cuisine: Mindful vegetarian meals and our signature artisanal ice cream, all prepared by Ninfa.
❀ Logistics: Private round-trip transportation from La Paz.

Intimate and Personal
We believe that true healing requires individual attention. To ensure a dedicated and personalized journey, we host small groups with a minimum of 3 people.

Availability: This experience is available year-round. We work with your schedule to find the perfect time for your retreat.

Location: Villa Bonita, Coroico, Bolivia.

Sacred Medicine in a Magical Sanctuary
Villa Bonita is a magical sanctuary where nature, peace, and beauty captivate you from the very first moment. My experience during this retreat was truly life-changing; the sacred medicine of the Psilocybin mushrooms, combined with the beauty of the rainforest, provided the deep healing and clarity I was seeking. Every detail, from Ninfa's soul-nourishing food to the intentional care she puts into every moment, translates into high-vibration energy that stays with you long after you leave. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone looking for a professional, safe, and deeply profound spiritual journey!

From Anxiety to Clarity: My Rebirth at Villa Bonita
I arrived at Villa Bonita carrying a weight I hadn’t realized was so heavy. The site itself is a botanical paradise; everywhere you look, there is a vibrant, lush sea of green, overflowing with exotic jungle plants and flowers that make the air feel alive. This natural beauty was my first healer, but the experience went much deeper. Even the food was a revelation, every vegetarian meal was absolutely delicious, prepared with such care that it nourished my body as much as the surroundings calmed my mind.
The "Niños Santos" provided a true rebirth. It wasn’t just a mental shift; it was a physical expansion where my chronic anxiety finally fell away, replaced by a crystalline clarity. Most importantly, for the first time in my life, I didn't just think about connection, I felt it in my bones. I understood, as a felt reality, how everything and everyone is deeply interconnected.
Under Ninfa’s safe and steady guidance, I felt my ego dissolve, allowing my true self to finally emerge. I'm leaving with a serenity I didn’t think was possible. If you are ready to explore the depths of your own consciousness in a place that truly holds you, this is it.
