Anciently known as rituals for the transmission of power, the ancestors have shared this tool to work with our inner silence, do meditation in movement, and have communication with Nature. It is a group silent walk that takes place for several hours in the mountain, where we invoke the power of Aguacolla or San Pedro.

Amazing
As a solo female traveler, I was a bit apprehensive about trying a retreat center and plant medicine for the first time. I am so grateful to have found Hayulima. From start to finish I felt incredibly safe, nourished and supported, not to mention the location is stunning. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers for making this an unforgettable first experience.

Meaningful and Memorable
Meaningful experiences stay with you and become memorable, this was the case with my ten days at Hayulima. I’m so grateful to have and hold these memories beyond the beautiful location and people. I am also so grateful for being so well cared for and supported throughout the medicine work! Lodging was comfortably accommodating, logistics were smooth, and don’t even get me started on the food—so good! By the end of the stay, I felt a closeness with the place, with fellow participants, and with the Hayulima family. I definitely hope to return!
