"Two years ago I did my first dieta (with Ajo Sacha) and in May of last year I joined the Vedic immersion retreat at Sinchi Runa, dieting with Bobinsana. For the Vedic retreat Daru Krishna was also present to give information about each person's astrological chart and he gave great insights about Ayurveda. I am deeply grateful for Sanango's wisdom, sometimes harsh when needed :), and the rest of the team for always being there if any doubts or questions arise or if you just need a hug or a cry. The food has always been great! Nourishing and you can feel the care that has been put in to make it. The location in Lepe is away from any busy areas and is perfect for a silent retreat communicating with nature. Grateful for the insights gained and all the teachings learned! With love, Sheela"

"I loved the retreat and its concept. The importance given to preparation, the way of eating, silence and introspection set the Sinchi Runa retreat apart from all the others I've been to. I recommend this unique experience to everyone."

"Sinchi Runa is a tranquil, safe, loving environment. A space that just allowed me to just be during my retreats. Greeted with warmest, welcoming smiles from the team, which instantly helped me feel cared for. We were all introduced and given an overview of how everything runs, along with the importance of silence, and what silence actually is. We were assured that the silence doesn't extend to the team if and when needed; I (the group) could talk to Maestro Sanango, Ananda, Madhava or Arjuna. I found that questions were not only welcomed but encouraged, Maestro Sanango wanted everyone to have as much information as possible on the plants, the process, philosophies, how we're cared for, why the guidelines are there. Everything seems to have a place and a purpose. All this just added to my feeling of safety and care. The meditations were really very helpful, learning to focus on the breath, everything just seems to be in order to help the participants truly get the most out of their experience and journey. The ceremonies guided expertly and beautifully by Maestro Sanango, he sings and chants as well as playing solely instrumental music through a speaker, which was all beautiful and purposeful. The team are professional, experienced, caring, loving and so welcoming. The site is clean, hygienic and well looked after. The food is season appropriate and so full of love (i've had retreats both in colder snd warmer months), and as I saw it happily caters to all. I can't recommend Sinchi Runa more highly from my experience. So much gratitude and love to all. Thank you so much 🤍"

"'Do something today that your future self will thank you for', sums up this life-affirming experience. This is the something. Intense, profound, transformational. If you are reading this, your soul has already chosen, and you must listen. You will be changed in ways you cannot forsee or describe but your spirit will be eternally joyful for. Thank you Sinchi Runa x "

"I couldn’t have picked a better retreat to attend. The country, venue, weather, food, format, facilitators and all the other attendees were amazing. It was very clear that Kasham, the lead facilitator, is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and she’s certainly intuitive being very aware of peoples states and needs throughout the process. This was also true of Hanna, the other facilitator, who was really caring and full of smiles. This was particularly apparent during ceremony where they were always by my side when in need. The duration of the retreat was perfect as 7 days allowed for it to be structured effectively with plenty of meaningful activities, integration and bonding with others. In addition, the small group size made it a much more personal experience. I definitely recommend this retreat for anyone who wishes to embark on such a transformational journey."

"I stayed at Sinchi Runa a year ago for a 10 day retreat, and more recently left after a 3 month deep immersion stay. I don’t know how to sum up all that was learned, understood, let go of, and more, in writing, for fear it being too long and putting you all to sleep! I would say that since I grew out of being a baby, and could eat and drink by my self, my time at Sinchi Runa was the most vulnerable I’ve been. I’m very thankful to them that it was their care I was vulnerable. I could give so many examples of where I’m thankful that Sanango was ‘taking’ or ‘leading’ (I’m not exactly sure the word for it) the ceremony, but one that springs to mind was in an Ayahuasca ceremony, I was panicking! I asked for help, and Ananda and Sanango came to my aid and helped me process what I was going through. I recall many challenging Kambo ceremonies (In fact I think they all were) but two in particular, in hindsight, I feel blessed that it was Arjuna by my side. Arjuna was a great teacher to me, being in his presence, watching how he interacts with others, and hearing him speak in group sharing taught me a lot, in particular about my pride. Initially, in my consultations with Sanango and Ananda, I was apprehensive to be open because I was cautious around Ananda, and this is nothing against Ananda, it was a reaction I am learning to step out of. I started to trust Ananda, I tried to leave no stone unturned in these consultations, because it became apparent that it was a privilege to have these two know me, all of me. That they were offering help if I was reaching out for it. I don’t want to portray Sanango as a mythical figure, a guru, or something along those lines, partly because I know he doesn’t want that, but it also doesn’t feel right to me. He is the wisest person I’ve come across. Every time I had the chance to speak to him I felt excited. Through my eyes He is brilliant. It seems to me He knows a lot about Love. I can’t fully express what it meant for me to have Sanango as my teacher, or ‘curandaro’. He is upholding or maintaining great teachings, or spirits, forces, at Sinchi Runa. Ananda (tough act to follow) was a great teacher to me and I think he had a great understanding of my ‘process’ and what I was going through. I felt loved by Ananda and he too took great care in protecting my process. We also had a few good laughs. I would say the moments of social interaction with everyone at SinchiRuna were lovely. The food was top notch, Fiona was cooking most of the time whilst I was there, and she is an amazing cook. I noticed how much care was taken in the cooking of the food, and the prep. My portion sizes were always to my desire, and I think I overate most of the time. Fiona was also significant in my journey, she’s great, and so comforting and caring, she made so much effort to protect and care for my ‘Process’. I’m not sure if this is her intention but she really made me feel at home. I felt the crux of my work was in my ‘Diets’ or ‘Dietas’. Up to now these Dietas have been the most challenging chapters of my life, and without a doubt the most rewarding, if the reward is ‘spiritual growth’ or knowledge of the unconscious, in my case. In the Dietas I developed an understanding around deep questions such as: what is pride, what is humility, what is compassion, what is gratitude, in what conditions do these arise. An understanding of who I am, and why I behave the way I behave. What am I doing in the human experience, and so on, and I really could go on. The diets were the most significant periods of learning in my life, and it was hard earned, it was also a learning of how to come out of suffering, my understanding arose from my coming out of my suffering. And so these diets were a rollercoaster of suffering, enlightenment, more boredom than I knew I could handle. It was very draining, very emotional and very rewarding. I do not know of any other facility with the depth of wisdom, knowledge, and care as Sinchi Runa, I don’t think places such as Sinchi Runa are easy to come by, and for me it feels it’s a privilege and a great stroke of luck to have come by Sinchi Runa. "

"What I initially believed to be the most profound experience of my life turned into a nightmare. During my ayahuasca ceremony, I felt an entity enter my body, guiding me through the journey, speaking to me, and revealing things about other dimensions and people—things I could never have known on my own. It even moved my body, a presence so real and insistent that I was certain it was here to help me. After the ceremony, I told what happened to Sanango and asked him what it was, but he gave no concrete response. The entity returned during the second ceremony, and again, I received no answer when I questioned what it was. Fast forward a week, and I began to realize that the entity had attached itself to me—and it was anything but benevolent. What followed were months of torment. It wasn’t a guide; it was an evil entity that refused to leave. In desperation, I had to involve priests and underwent multiple exorcisms. It was, without a doubt, the most terrifying experience of my life. Through this ordeal, I learned that astral entities can attach themselves to people during ceremonies if the space is not properly protected or if the practitioner is not clean. This is common knowledge and many people speak about it. I feel compelled to warn others considering Sinchi Runa: On top of this entity attachment, I had no real debriefing after the ceremonies, no proper guidance, and my concerns about an entity entering my body were completely dismissed. I am still baffled by how such a serious issue could be ignored. --------- Center Response --------- We appreciate that you have shared your experience, and deeply regret this has been so challenging for you. It saddens us to see there has been such a radical change of perspective about your experience, considering you seemed to leave the retreat in a very good state, and the glowing praises shared with us here on the platform that the retreat was “the best gift you could have given yourself”. You unfortunately turned down the continued assistance and online support we offered you when you later contacted us, saying you felt working with exorcisms was more efficient. In our view, as we also suggested to you, solutions such as these that do not depart from a place of understanding related to Master Plants, may reinforce sensations or conclusions that make the experience difficult. Our offer of support is still available to you, and we hope you’ll reach out to us for assistance. Working with Mikaela (Madhava Priya), with 12 years of experience at Sinchi Runa and specialising in post-ayahuasca and integration, is meant to help participants to observe and better understand the phenomena of the mind in front of the so-called subtle world, and to be able understand how these relate to the underlying causes of our suffering, so that we can make the changes necessary to free ourselves. During the retreat, you participated in the integration circles after each session and had personal consultations with Master Sanango, who did offer guidance on your situation. At Sinchi Runa, the importance of self-reflection and humility is highly valued, and we invite participants to be measured and discerning of messages or contacts that may arise in the ceremonies, taking with humility and discernment what resonates in your heart, as well as calm in the face of “messages” and the possibility of seeing or feeling “entities”. The work with Ayahuasca and Master Plants opens our inner world, personality, emotional burdens and the suffering of each individual. Our inner world determines the decoding of the experience. This opening, which is the root of this medicine, is also the opportunity to understand our personal reality, how we are responsible for it and what we need to let go of to change it. That is why we put so much emphasis on silence, humility, observation and equanimity in all our processes with the plants. This was Sanango's suggestion in your process, and it is also what the offer to continue working with Mikaela is all about. We apologise if you felt unheard, what we seek is moderation, groundedness and introspection, and personal reflection and understanding in order to heal and release. After each ceremony, we have an integration circle to share our individual experiences, where each experience is valued and listened to. Sanango is a Peruvian Maestro with 30 years of experience in the world of healing with Master Plants, and hundreds of healing testimonies that attest to a long and serious work as a true healer, which emphasises humility, silence and purging. Sinchi Runa is an established center, with much emphasis on energetic cleansing and respect for Amazonian and other traditions as Vedic contributions, which allow us to live in purity of heart and energetic security. We hope you will contact us - we tried to contact you but did not receive a response - and we will be happy to continue working with you to help you unravel and release what is unfolding for you with understanding."

"It’s been a few months since my retreat at Sinchi Runa, and I can confidently say it remains one of the most significant and transformative experiences of my life. 

 I had been struggling with some deeply rooted emotional challenges for years, and despite various efforts, nothing has come close to the healing I found there. The retreat opened up pathways within myself that I didn’t even know existed, allowing me to finally confront and release traumas that had been holding me back for so long. One of the key reasons I felt so safe and supported throughout this journey was Maestro Sanango. 

 His presence is unlike anything I’ve experienced - there’s an innate compassion and depth to him that words can’t really capture. He brings a calm wisdom that makes you feel seen, understood, and held from the start. Whether during ceremonies, integration circles, or personal consultations, his guidance was priceless. My ceremonies were very challenging, and the integration circles were absolutely essential for me - they gave me the space to process, reflect, and ultimately make sense of the intense experiences I had gone through. After the retreat, I have continued online integration with Madhava Priya, which has been essential in grounding the lessons from the retreat, and ensuring the changes manifested. The retreat center is beautiful, set in a serene nature environment that feels like a perfect escape from daily chaos. The accommodations are comfortable, and the natural beauty of the place instantly puts you at ease. The team creates a warm and supportive space, making you feel safe to go deep into the work, knowing you're fully cared for at every step.
 Overall, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. It’s not easy work, but if you’re looking for real, lasting transformation, this retreat can truly change your life. It did mine."

"How to put this into words…from the moment I arrived, I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and caring environment. (Alphabetically!) Axis, Bianca, Chiara, Kristina and Riccardo are some of the most genuinely amazing people you will ever meet, and also extremely knowledgeable about plant medicine. The setting is beautiful as well. You are truly in good hands and the initial integration call, 121 meeting prior to the first ceremony and “sharing circle” the day after are brilliant to put you at ease. Met some amazing people on similar journeys and feel extremely grateful for the experience. Not sure if the retreat has or will change me going forward, but I am already noticing a few changes in perception. A connection to my personal path was a big motivation for me coming in, and I think the amazing space holders and medicine have given me a platform. If you are in any doubts, I would take a leap…you won’t regret it. 100/10, would recommend :) R"

"Lovely team, a beautiful place to be where you can rest your mind and soul 🙏🏼"

"Hanna is a very creative and artistic individual who has the ability to be free flowing. During my time at the 7 day transformational retreat in Thailand it was a pleasure to witness her sensitivity and wisdom. She is very spiritual and caring and acts as a wonderful creative journeying partner for Kasham. Her voice is breathtaking and the lyrics to her songs will help guide you to your heartfelt intentions."

"Kasham is a beautiful soul. She has the capacity to hold space for anyone who has the inclination to lean inward. She will accompany you caringly through spirit and soul connecting with you thanks to her profound connection with plant medicines. Whatever you are seeking to clarify in your life Kasham and Hanna will help guide you to your heartfelt intentions. These are moment of enlightenment, presenting you with the gift of light over darkness, clarity over confusion, forginess over resentment. By surrendering you will journey energetically through channels of least resistance and flow into your spiritual radiant light. By trusting you will open up your heart to your core essence far away from mundane preoccupations. You will experience the dimension in which only love, peace and gratitude matter. The liberation that ensues is that sacred connection to the source, our Sacred Mother Earth, which holds space for all of us deep down. During my spiritual journey i was giving the guidance through the plant medicine to connect with benevolent spirits who helped remind me of my truths. Hanna will always be on hand thanks to her immense talent as musician and a songwriter to help you flow even further via the medium of shamanic chants. The journey captured all my senses allowing energy and light force to flow through my body and magic to happen in the mind. Journeying was in my experience very mystical and liberating. I would highly recommend you work with Kasham and Hanna, they are so connected to the plants and will offer you a well structured and tailored retreat."

"What an amazing week! I had such a beautiful week with Kasham & Hanna. Two lovely amazing humans. I really felt secure with them! Thank you so much for everything !!"

"I had a beautifully transcendental experience on Kasham's retreat in Thailand (two experiences actually, from the two ceremonies), and I honestly believe the experience would not have been the same if it wasn't for her deep connection and attunement to the spirits and guides. Kasham facilitated and guided a safe and sacred space for us to journey and travel - both near and afar. She connects far beyond, yet is still grounded in everyday life. The activities during the retreat also helped us to deepen our insights and learnings, as well as integrate this back into our everyday lives by connecting with our physical bodies - making the most of this human experience :) Thank you Kasham and Hannah for looking after my body and soul in Chiang Mai xx :) Hope to see you again one day in Portugal!"

"I am beyond grateful to the wonderful team at Sinchi Runa for their amazing work and support through one of the most important moments in my life. They create and hold such a warm and safe space that allows you to truly work in depth with yourself. It was for me, a life changer in many ways. The area is beautiful, the accommodation is peaceful and the team is supportive and professional. They all hold a special place in my heart and my deepest gratitude for an unforgettable experience. I had never done Ayahuasca before, since I felt I wasn't quite ready yet. I am now glad I did a lot of work before coming which only enhanced my experience. I believe it to be a serious and amazing experience for those who also appreciate and respect the process. Best gift I have given myself. Thank you Sanango, Fiona, Ajuna & Ananda ❤️🙏🏻 /the girl with the Spirit Animal Cards 🐉 "

"For me this was one of the deepest experiences I ever had at the ceremonies. The location was beautiful, setting was clean and authentic, people working are very professional and respectful. I would have come again, but the experience was too deep to repeat it in a while. "

"I came into this experience trepidatious of my expectations and the experience as a whole. I had learnt about Ayahuasca but I had no experience. Was I going to be okay? Was this place safe? Was I safe? When I arrived, I was immediately taken back by the calm and sweet disposition of everyone that worked there. As I stayed, that initial reaction was grounded in a deep love and admiration for the whole team at Sinchi Runa. If you want to experience Ayahuasca but also are worried about being cared for, understood and truly seen during your stay; you needn't worry. This place is amazing, the people incredible and Sanango is a true master at what he does. Do not put it off any longer. Book, go, experience, connect with yourself and others, open your heart to Ayahuasca and I can promise you that if you decide to go to Sinchi Runa, you will not be disappointed. "

" I did a 7-day silent Ayahuasca with La Purga, Kambo, 2 ayahuasca ceremonies, meditation, drawing of our ayahuasca process, group talks etc. I felt very drawn to the retreat and booked it without reading much about it. Didn't read about the silence fx. which was an unpleasant surprise for me at first, but turned out to be the most important factor which connected me deeply to myself. This retreat is so well made and all of the people behind Sinchi Runa have walked the road and they absolutely practice what they preach with such sincerity, wisdom and so much integrity! It was also very intense and challenging both physically and mentally, but I was taken such good and kind care of by everyone there and they taught me how to handle my challenges through my breath, simple and gentle. It's difficult to put this experience into words, cause it's simply just something that needs to be experienced, but I will absolutely promise you that Sinchi Runa is worth all 5 stars and more! At last the food was amazing and the tents were very nice to! Wish you a pleasant and transformation journey at Sinchi Runa <3 "

"Kasham is truly an amazing guide. She was exceptionally helpful, kind, clear and knowledgeable about guiding a medicine journey. It was the first time I felt truly safe on my journey which allowed me to go deep and really examine the things that needed examining. Thank you Kasham. It was an excellent experience - one that has made a difference in my life."

"Had an amazing experience with Kasham at the retreat. I opted for the private session and Kasham was extremely attentive and really reassured me by answering any question I had beforehand. Would highly recommend "

"I recently had the most incredible experience at Kasham's Shamanic Retreat, and words cannot express the depth of gratitude I feel towards her and Hana. From the moment I stepped onto the sacred grounds, I knew I was in for something truly extraordinary. The retreat offered a perfect blend of traditional shamanic practices and modern holistic approaches. The facilitators were not only knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate, creating a safe and nurturing environment for personal growth and exploration. The ceremonial rituals were nothing but magical. Not to forget rhythmic drumming, and the wisdom shared by the shamanic practitioners made a huge impact on my sense of self-discovery and healing. The accommodations were very comfortable, and the vegan meals prepared by Paula were almost as good as from the Michelin star restaurant. I highly recommend Kasham's retreat to anyone seeking a life-changing experience. Thank you to the entire team for creating such an unforgettable experience!"

"Kasham is an incredibly intuitive healer. I still haven’t landed yet after my retreat, but have seen so many positive changes so far. As someone with social anxiety I was hesitant to do a group retreat, but boy am I glad I did. Think I was rid of my social anxiety on the second day and it still hasn’t returned almost a month later. The attention to detail and execution of all activities shows the amount of preparation that goes into facilitating such a retreat. I felt taken care of throughout the week. The ceremonies are out of this world (literally) and experiences I will carry with me throughout my life I hope. Thank you for helping me along my healing journey "

"I have been to many spiritual retreats over the years and also taken part in many different plant medicines. Sinchi Runa is by far the most professionally run and well thought through retreat I have ever been too. I cannot praise Master Sanango and his team of professionals and experts, Ananda, Arjuna, Fiona, Andrea and Veronika enough. They go above and beyond to create a safe environment so that each individual gets the loving attention and guidance they need. They never shun away from questions and to say they go the last mile is even an understatement! Everything is explained in a timely fashion, so you have time to surrender to the nature and leave the thinking mind before you start on the IMMENSE inner journey. This retreat is not to be taken lightly. It's important to be far enough down the spiritual path to surrender before signing up. The preparation sent in advance is exceptionally clear. I listened to all the podcasts that explain in detail how to prepare best. What to eat, how to approach Mama Ayahuasca and what to focus on. What is not given is a timetable, and there is a very good reason for this. It is not due to secrecy, it is because of the wisdom of 'not knowing'. Depending upon the group and the circumstances, all will take place in due time. TRUST the process and allow the deeply experienced, gentle and warm team to guide you. With gratitude and love. "

"An incredible experience. Can't recommend the retreat with Kasham enough. Such a caring and supportive environment. Lovely location and amazing food! "

"My experience at Sinchi Runa has been transformative, and I don’t say that lightly. I came for my first 3 day retreat in September 2023 and I had no idea what to expect (I’ve returned 2 more times, the last being March 2024). I had received very kind communication from Andrea and Ananda prior to arriving (I was on a high dose of medication for ADHD which I had to come off of immediately in order to participate) but nothing could prepare me for the experience of being at Sinchi Runa. The grounds are gorgeous, no matter the weather, the bell tents you sleep in are exactly what’s needed - clean, comfortable, and beautifully basic. The food is delicious, clearly cooked with love and feels so good for your body. I’m vegan but can’t imagine meat eaters feeling hard done by from the abundance of food. This is a retreat centre where you can properly do the work. The complete silence (unless in ceremony prep) is scary at first but becomes so welcome and is now one of the things I crave most when I’m back home. If you want to go deep with plant medicine, this is the place to do it. It is a safe, loving environment and structured in such a way that prepares you to surrender and learn. The tobacco purge is as important as the ayahuasca - don’t worry about the throwing up. I promise that in the moment, it really doesn’t matter in the slightest. The changes that have occurred in myself and my life post-ceremony are without number. It is life-changing, not least because I have been able to stop taking my ADHD medication, and I don’t feel that there is a limit to what these plants can heal for us and help us learn/remember. Maestro Sanango speaks eloquently on plant medicine, journeys into the self and into the greater oneness. He is a masterful presence and full of light. Ananda is his skilled interpreter and assistant, his presence is calming and peaceful, he is a lovely soul to share the journey with. Arjuna assists in ceremony and is a sweet spirit that offers support to all, as is Fiona, who cooks gorgeously and supports attendees with deeply loving kindness. Andrea helps organise incoming participants with sweetness and patience (lots of patience!). If you’re looking for an ayahuasca retreat that is safe (I came as a single woman & never felt uncomfortable or at risk), honours the plants, and will help you change/evolve/develop, this is the one. "

"I loved every moment of my seven days spent at Sinchi Runa. It was the biggest breakthrough of my life. Maestro Sanango and the team were special and made me feel safe and right at home. The amount of information I downloaded during the ceremonies was mind boggling. Words, images, symbols, ideas concepts, and most importantly insights into who I am, the real self, not the one that was constructed by all the stories I was meant to believe about myself. And that was exactly what I came for, to re-discover my authentic self, without chains, without trauma, free to be the human that God designed me to be. Thank you so much <3 - Giovanna"

"You will meet amazing people whom you can fully trust. They will support you through your journey, be it ecstatic or tough. They all had their unique life trajectories, with ups and downs, hard times, vulnerabilities and traumas. They came out of it with extended empathy skills, and responsive attunement to other human beings. You will feel in a spiritual family with them. Eve, Laurie, Riccardo, Christina, I enjoyed my time with you! "

"If you're reading this review now and feeling on the fence, I feel you. I was on this website myself in February 2024 and thanks to the reviews I've read I went on a retreat this March. I cannot explain by words how grateful I'm for this opportunity and the experience I had at Sinchi Runa. First of all, the people. I've never felt more safe and protected there than ever before. Ananda, Fiona, Sanangu and everybody else were so welcoming, calm, accepting and at the same time disciplined. You can just look in their eyes full of love and you feel that you're taken care of with respect. I will be forever grateful for the people I've met there. The retreat was in silence, without phones and it was so amazing to forget about life issues and challenges and simply BE. Sanangu answered all our concerns and questions before the ceremony and I felt prepared and ready. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. When I recall what happened with me I just start to cry, cry out of gratefulness for the lessons I’ve learnt and experience I've had. 
 I recommend it from the bottom of my heart. "

"It`s been ten days since my Ayahuasca experience at Sinchi Runa, my first ever psychedelic experience, and It was without doubt the most profound and beautiful experience of my life that I`ll never forget. It was the shorter three day retreat with addition Kambo ceremony that I participated in and I can`t thank Sinchi Runa enough for their generosity, kindness, delicious food and sharing of Maestro Sanango`s wisdom and beautiful voice. My life is already on a new path since the experience. I`m planning on a longer retreat when the time is right to return. With my sincerest gratitude to Sinchi Runa. Joel"
