An Incredible Experience at The Lighthouse
I recently attended a retreat at The Lighthouse with Isher and Mareike, and it was truly one of the most grounding and transformative experiences Iβve had. As someone who tends to approach things pretty analytically, I was curious (and a bit cautious) going in, but they really exceeded all my expectations.
Before the Experience
Right from the start, Isher and Mareike created a sense of trust and clarity. They took the time to explain everything about the huachuma experienceβwhat to expect, how it might feel, and what could come up during the journey. It really helped me feel prepared and at ease, which made it easier to fully lean into the process.
During the Experience
Throughout the trip, their guidance was amazing. They have this incredible ability to hold space while letting you navigate the experience at your own pace. Whether it was through thoughtful conversations, moments of empathy, or just being quietly present, they struck the perfect balance. Anytime I had questions or needed support, they were right there with wisdom and care. It felt like talking to people who genuinely understood and wanted to help.
After the Experience
What really impressed me was how much they emphasized integration afterward. They gave me practical advice on what to expect in the days and weeks following the retreat and how to work with everything I had learned. It didnβt feel like the experience ended when the ceremony didβthey made sure I had tools and insights to take back into my everyday life.
Why It Stood Out:
Well-Organized: The whole retreat felt really thoughtfully planned. Everything was structured enough to feel safe but not so rigid that it felt overwhelming.
Holistic Support: They addressed every aspectβmental, emotional, and spiritualβwhich made the whole experience feel very complete.
Genuine Wisdom: Isher and Mareike are incredibly knowledgeable, but they explain things in such a down-to-earth way. Itβs clear they really know what theyβre doing.
Final Thoughts
If youβre looking for a meaningful and grounding retreat, I canβt recommend The Lighthouse enough. Isher and Mareike are compassionate, wise, and genuinely amazing at what they do. I left feeling more connected, clear, and inspired than Iβve felt in a long time. Iβm so grateful for their guidance and would absolutely go back or recommend it to anyone.
