First Time Experience Converted Into Life Changing Experience
Ill summarize the experience first:
1. World class hospitality in the comfort of their own home.
2. Serene, quiet setting surrounded by nature and walking trail.
3. Small group setting allowed for focused 1-on-1 attention throughout the experience.

This was my first time ever with plant medicine, and/or a spiritual retreat of any kind. I wouldn't say that I was skeptical, I just didn't know what to expect. I've had a calling to try aya for the year leading up to it, and finally decided to bite the bullet. And boy am I glad that I did. This experience was truly life-changing-- and I don't say that lightly.
I flew into Malaga and spent a day in the city before starting the 5-day Christmas retreat. The drive to their location was easy and they are able to arrange transportation for you if needed. Upon arrival, the reception was warm and welcoming and they made you feel like you've already known them for years.
I'll spare you the details of MY particular experience with the plant medicine because I believe that it would be very specific to the individual (and what they're looking to achieve). But, I will say that I got WAY more than I anticipated out of the experience. It was absolutely magical. Not in the sense of just any psychedelic experience, but more so in the sense of connecting to bigger parts of you (and the universe) that I didn't know existed previously. It was beautiful. It taught me love. It showed me true peace. It gave me a sense of serenity that I still feel to this day (almost one month later). It was truly the most important thing that I've done in my life. Again, I don't say that lightly.
The plant purge at the beginning combined with the meditation and fasting was a cleanse like I've never had before. Before this retreat, I have been fasting weekly for 36-hours so I'm no stranger to fasting. This plant purge was way more powerful and effective than anything I'd done previously. The same goes for both Kombo sessions we did. They were so powerful that I decided to get the Kombo markings tattooed on my body, so that I never forget what that felt like.
By integrating the plant medicine with the San Pedro, the Cacao, or the Rapeh-- you will have the opportunity to experience the different ways that ayahuasca can be used to achieve different experiences. Finally, we were also able to experience Bufo at the end of the retreat. That was such an extraordinary experience that will also stick with me for a long time to come.
I know this is a long review, but I only type this because it was truly life changing, and so so worth it. The other participants with me also left with raving reviews and we all had such a great experience. Thank you Danilo, Ilse, Bruno, Gaia, and Porchi for changing my life, my perspective, and my vision of the world. I will never forget this experience thanks to you, and I will definitely be back again.
I can't wait to show you guys my new ayahuasca tattoos when I return hopefully very very soon! Wishing you all the best and congratulations on all that you've accomplished. Thank you for all that you do :)
All my love,
Naif.
