About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Join the team of Origen Sagrada as we visit the elders in their territories. We will visit the farm and Maloka of Taita Jairo of the Inga Community. We will also visit with Taita Universario Queta and Abuela Vitelia of the Cofan Community.

Origen Sagrada has been organizing medicine retreats for over 10 years both in Colombia and in the US. Our team of experienced facilitators and musicians are here to help guide you through this experience.

We will start this journey with two ceremonies at the Maloka of Taita Jairo. We will fly to Villagarzon and travel to the Inga Reservation, where Taita Jairo and his family welcome us in his community. It is a beautiful experience seeing this community, being embraced by them, feeling the spirits of the ancestors. This community rarely sees foreigners, and we are blessed to be invited.


Next up, we will take a private bus to Mocoa, where we will spend a few days in the city to partake in a river tour, enjoy the beauty that surrounds Mocoa, and also shop at the market.


It is a 4 hour journey by private bus to the Maloka of Taita Universario and Abuela Vitelia, where we will take a small river boat to arrive at their beautiful land tucked away in the jungle. Here we will have two nights of ceremony where we may get visited by the jaguars, an absolutely out of this world experience.


This is an adventure trip, please note that there will be some walking, and that conditions at the fincas of the elders will be rustic. We will be cared for by the elders and their families, and guests on their land.

We will finish this trip with a night at the “monkey place”, a beautiful hotel where we can rest, enjoy the pool, eat a beautiful final meal together.

You will need to bring your own camping hammock for use while at the homes of the elders, this will be your bed. Blankets can be purchased upon arrival in Villagarzon.

You will need to bring only a large camping-style backpack, this is not the trip for wheeled luggage. I will send recommendations for both hammocks and bags before the trip.

Most meals are included, however, please note, we are at the home of the elders and variety may be lacking. If you have a special diet, or are someone that needs more food than most, you may want to pack your own protein snacks like nuts, nut butters, bars. Meals in Mocoa are on your own.

Vegetarian/vegan/gluten free travelers should note that while we provide suggested menus and options, these types of diets are still new to this region of Colombia. The food at the homes of the elders is prepared not by a chef, but by a family member. Please keep an open heart and mind. Fresh vegetables are not in abundance, a typical meal might be rice, yucca, fish, and a small salad. Breakfast may be eggs and arepas with fruit.

You will need to book a plane ticket arriving to Bogota (BOG) no later than 3 am on July 14th. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ARRIVE THE NIGHT OF THE 13TH TO BOGOTA. We will have ceremony this first night and it would be sad for you to be jetlagged or tired and sleeping through ceremony.

You will need to book a return ticket leaving from Bogota (BOG) on July 21st after 5 pm.

Your flights within Colombia are included. Transport within Putumayo, most meals, and a group tour of the river are also included.

Trustworthy, Profound, Transformational
Wonderful group, full of love and powerful medicine. Danielle works with beautiful Elders and Taitas who oversee very profound ceremonies. She also cooks and provides delicious and nutritious food throughout the retreats. If you’re looking for powerful, traditional ceremonies, surrounded by trustworthy people, look no further...

Pure Magic
Such a beautiful place to experience an ayahuasca ceremony. I truly felt taken care of and supported. Walking on the farm, I could feel something magical would take place there and I wasn’t let down. It’s great to have people there who speak English, and I really respect how they work with the elders of the communities who have the knowledge of how to correctly work with the medicine. This is definitely a retreat I have recommended to friends and family. I suggest you go for it. You won’t be let down, but try not to have expectations any way. Just go with it and be present in the experience.

Heaven on Earth
I have been attending ceremony retreats every 2 months with Danielle since November 2016. And I keep coming back - for many good reasons! I can say my life is forever changed for the better - like way way better. I don't think I could every possibly put into words the gratitude that I have for Danielle and her dedication to working with authentic Taitas who have spent their life working with the medicine. The medicine has become such a powerful teacher in my life and I regularly go back to help keep me on track.

Danielle has the biggest heart and does everything she can to make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. The community that she has helped build has become my family and I can't imagine life without them. The love, the music, and the medicine - I am truly blessed to have found this group and know that this is just the beginning of my journey. If you have been looking for the right group for your experience please look no further.

Her farm in Colombia just takes everything to the next level. Danielle's love for animals and nature is truly so heart felt. The trees, water, and animals give this place a magical quality which seriously elevates the ceremonies on this land. My whole body, mind and spirit felt at peace here and it was just what I needed for my deep healing. And in case you are a chocolate fiend like me be prepared to squeal with joy at seeing first hand how Danielle makes her small batch chocolate which is nothing short of amazing. Heaven on Earth! Hell yes ;)

The healing power of women!
The women's retreat was a wonderful opportunity to experience authentic ayahuasca medicine ceremonies in a beautiful tropical location in Colombia. The farm and retreat center is a true paradise! Being in a group of all women, including the healers (the abuelas) who came to host the ceremonies, created a safe and supportive environment in which we were able to open up and experience the healing power of the feminine. The ceremonies were very traditional and the abuelas performed amazing healing sessions for all participants. Between the medicine, the work of the abuelas, and other growth opportunities throughout the week, the retreat offered a powerful environment for deep healing and personal growth. So grateful to exerience a beautiful group of women creating magic and love together!
