First Time Experience Converted Into Life Changing Experience
Let me first start by saying that Danilo, Ilse, and Bruno are a class act.
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.

Life Changing
I understood that this experience would be beneficial to some degree, however my involvement in this retreat was life changing. I've been pretending for years that lying about myself to others was protecting them, when it was only hurting me. Loving yourself is being openly honest and true with others - not hiding in order to "protect" inconvenient truths. This session has helped me focus on loving myself. This cleansing experience has rejuvenated me and I'm looking forward to my next visit with this beautiful family and magical ambiance.

Truly Connected
I'm eternally grateful for Danilo, Ilse, and Bruno for providing a truly transformative and loving experience. I traveled there for my second time with two of my business partners. I came into the retreat feeling disconnected from my spirituality and my journey. Danilo, Bruno and Ilse guided me through helping me see and purge my own internal struggles and darkness, and connect with and ground my body and spirit, and I feel at peace and one with everything. They have created a beautiful and magical place for healing the mind, body and soul. I'm feeling so much love and appreciation and look forward to sharing my experience and returning in the future.

Transformative Experience
I cannot compliment Danilo, Ilse and Bruno at Gaia For You for the most transformative experience of my life.

Ilse booked me a taxi in advance as agreed. On arrive I was greeted by the taxi driver who pick me up from the airport, which went pretty much as planned. We travelled in a comfy vehicle to a Mijas on the outskirts of Malaga (about 1/2h travel time). It's secluded and has a great view of the countryside to facilitate one's spiritual forays.
There is a large farm and grounds to wonder around. A lot of the food came from the farm itself such as avocados, oranges, papaya and more.

For the actual activities, please refer to their website. My understanding of shamanic spirituality is basic at best. I attend the 5 day Christmas retreat.

Our group consisted on four. On the first day we undertook a cleansing purge which meant a number of visits to the toilet.

Danilo, Ilse and Bruno managed the Ayahuasca ceremonies, there were four of us on this retreat. I felt safe and reassured that I was being cared for. The San Pedro experience was amazing and enhanced the Ayahuasca Ceremony in the evening. As a group we opted to understand the Bufa ceremony with was an amazing out of body experience.
I have recommended this retreat to a few friends who will book. It felt nice being in a family environment. The food was amazing – all credit to Illse.
I have left this retreat with direction, purpose and more spiritual outlook on life.

Love
An incredible experience that is difficult for me to put into words. But it gave me exactly what I needed. After a very short time, I notice how my relationships with my loved ones, but also with myself, have improved greatly.
I can't thank Ilse and Danilo enough for creating such a unique place and sharing it and this energy with the world. I am grateful that my life has led me here and that the two of them, along with Bruno, accompanied and supported me on this path. Big Thanks!
