Bianca - Founder Vine of the Soul

I've always been interested in psychology, since I was a child. That didn't keep me from stepping into my mothers' footprints and getting a depression in my adult life. I also struggled with insomnia, psychosomatic backpain and felt miserable overall. I was very successful professionally as an IT consultant. but still very unhappy. As most of us, I took the beliefs that were imprinted on me as a child and continued to reaffirm them in my adult life. Beliefs like I'm not (good) enough, I can't do that, you need to work hard to earn love and money etc. There was a lot self-sabotage and self-destructive behavior, like drinking, smoking and eating too much. My very first Ayahuasca journey catapulted me out of my victimhood, into the understanding that I am the creator of my life. It was a hard pill to swallow, but as somebody said "I took the ball, ran with it and never stopped again". I worked through my childhood trauma with psychedelics and Rapid Transformational Therapy and in a couple of months came to the point, where I had no attachments to the past anymore. When I started dismantling limiting believes, good things started flowing to me. Instead of working hard to make things happen, the right people and opportunities started showing up in my life. Now I use psychedelics, Rapid Transformational Therapy and coaching to free others from their victimhood. This wonderful team can help you open up the door to your own freedom and happiness! We show you the door, but you are the one who has to step through it.

All the love to Rosa

I can’t say enough good things about Rosa! She has this incredible ability to touch the pain and help heal it energetically

Throughout my time at the retreat, she was always there, guiding me with patience and understanding

Rosa would light a candle for me, letting me hold it while explaining everything, which really helped me see the way forward
Even when I was being stubborn and a bit of a rock head, she remained by my side, calming me down and providing the support I needed

I’m so grateful for her presence and the healing she brought into my life

The smile that brings hope

I have to give a huge shoutout to Ricardo! Not only was he the chef, but he was also the entertainer of the retreat. His drumming added such a vibrant energy to the atmosphere, and the food he cooked was absolutely amazing

On top of that, Ricardo is incredibly wise and shared so many valuable insights. He listened to all my ramblings and was genuinely there for me, which made a big difference. I’m really thankful for his warmth and the joy he brought to the experience

WOW - what an amazing experience

I was welcomed by a hug, something that has never happened to me. Rosa and Bianca, now my sister/mother/family, after just a few days, have touched my soul. The experience, I do not feel, would have been as magical without their help.

I was taken care of, experienced the ultimate gift of life, in a safe and comfortable setting. The people there were also brilliant but what truly makes this a warm, loving place are the care and attention given to you to make this as safe as possible. They went through thorough testing to ensure suitability and despite my various flaws, ensured I could optimise the days I was there.

I recently had the best day of my life and I can only thank them, and the Mother, for opening my eyes to see whats real. What is beautiful.

I’ve seen green and red whisps of strand across the air, light inside the soul, beating and providing bliss, peace and love. I’ve seen the ground move like snakes and the ceiling flow like water. At the same time coming to a realisation, listening to the women singing and beating drums, that the world is magic. They helped me understand what I needed to, I have come home a reformed person. I truly see what is infront of me and it wasn't just the vine of the soul that did this, it was the combination which ultimately lead to a lifechanging experience. I am currently looking for the next dates I can return. 2-3 days was perfect. Hot showers, comfortable beds, and beautiful background and animals really enhightened the experience.

Ladies, if you are reading this, than you for such an enriching and soul ignighting time. Words cannot express the gratitute, and love I have for you. The last night was the best night I have ever expereinced in my life. I finally saw, I finally understood, things I could never grasp my head around or feel in a decade.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. x

Transformative, amazing…

How to put this into words…from the moment I arrived, I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and caring environment. (Alphabetically!) Axis, Bianca, Chiara, Kristina and Riccardo are some of the most genuinely amazing people you will ever meet, and also extremely knowledgeable about plant medicine. The setting is beautiful as well. You are truly in good hands and the initial integration call, 121 meeting prior to the first ceremony and “sharing circle” the day after are brilliant to put you at ease. Met some amazing people on similar journeys and feel extremely grateful for the experience. Not sure if the retreat has or will change me going forward, but I am already noticing a few changes in perception. A connection to my personal path was a big motivation for me coming in, and I think the amazing space holders and medicine have given me a platform. If you are in any doubts, I would take a leap…you won’t regret it. 100/10, would recommend :) R
