Stephen January, 2025

"I had heard lots of good things from very trusted sources about the integrity and quality of this place and the people who run it and facilitate. Leti is a fantastic and real facilitator, and super talented, such an amazing voice and power. The community are solid and always present to what's needed, so those who are perhaps unfamiliar with this kind of space, it is very comforting for them. They are so talented, and there is such a divine chorus flowing through the room in support of the transformations and healings. The maloka is big and beautiful, the view and whole area is so gorgeous, it's beyond a postcard.. You're looking out over a lake onto volcanoes, with the most amazing sunsets and sunrises. The food is really good, it's welcoming and reasonably priced. I can't wait to visit again in the future. I know how important it is to make sure you find the right place and facilitators with ceremonies like this, so just know this is a good place. "

"A few years ago, my family and I had a deeply unsettling paranormal experience that left us spiritually drained. We faced financial ruin, a string of bad luck, and an overwhelming sense that nothing was working out. Coming from a non-spiritual background, it was incredibly difficult to make sense of what was happening. Over the next decade, I searched for answers, occasionally reading about spirituality and meditation, but I struggled to stay consistent. Deep down, I felt something was fundamentally wrong. That’s when I first came across information about Ayahuasca, and my journey toward healing truly began. Discovering Forest Path was the answer to my prayers. Jaya, the shaman who leads the ceremonies, is a deeply experienced spiritual guide with an incredible background in spirituality. He and the entire Forest Path team provided a safe, compassionate space where I could confront my struggles and begin to understand them through this sacred medicine. The experience was intense—there was even an exorcism performed on me—but I always felt supported and protected by Jaya and the team throughout the ceremony. The music they perform during the ceremonies is beyond words. It’s not just beautiful—it’s transformative. Their songs connect you on a profound level to your higher self, creating a powerful, immersive experience. It’s clear that the entire team approaches this work with immense love and a genuine desire to serve humanity. They have helped thousands of people heal through the power of Ayahuasca, and I am forever grateful to be one of them. Today, I feel that I’ve truly healed. I am on a spiritual path toward awakening, which is my ultimate goal, and I owe so much of this transformation to the Forest Path team. They’ve taught me how to love humanity, connect to the supreme consciousness, and deepen my relationship with my higher self. I can’t imagine experiencing something so sacred with anyone else. I sincerely hope that more people have the opportunity to embark on this healing journey with Forest Path. It’s an experience that has profoundly changed my life, and I am endlessly grateful for it."

"I had a very positive experience with Shakti Healing. Solete was exceptionally knowledgeable and conducted everything in a safe and reassuring manner. Her expertise and gentle approach made me feel comfortable throughout the entire journey. It was evident that she genuinely cares about creating a healing and supportive environment. I felt completely at ease, which allowed me to fully embrace the process. I would highly recommend Shakti Healing to anyone seeking a transformative and nurturing experience. Thank you, Solete, for your amazing work!"

Nicholas December, 2024

"Solete is full of light and love. Her voice is increíble. She makes sure to answer all your questions and concerns, and that you are comfortable. The space is lovely and peaceful. You will not regret booking your experience with Solete and Shakti Healing :)"

"Kawok Forest offers a truly extraordinary experience for those seeking connection with nature and adventure. The trek to reach the retreat sets the tone, building anticipation as you journey on foot to this magical location. Nestled in the forest, the retreat feels like a hidden gem, and the setting—surrounded by breathtaking views of the lake and volcanoes—is nothing short of stunning. However, it’s essential to approach Kawok with the right mindset. This is not a luxury resort; it's more akin to glamping in paradise. The cabanas, while charming, are rustic. Some are perched high on the mountainside, requiring good physical condition to access. The accommodations have a simplicity that complements the natural setting but come with challenges: gaps in the walls invite the local wildlife (yes, I had both giant spiders and scorpions as roommates), roofs are made of plastic, and rainy nights can be noisy. Shared bathrooms and showers, while offering incredible views, are more "back-to-nature" than comfortable, with cold water and limited pressure. That said, the experience at Kawok is unforgettable. The staff are warm and attentive, and the food is delicious, nourishing both body and soul. If you're an experience seeker who values authenticity and immersion over creature comforts, Kawok Forest is absolutely worth visiting. Just come prepared for the adventure it offers, and you’ll leave with memories to treasure."

"The retreat was a wonderful experience. It was a great retreat where you can be as involved as you would like to be. It exceeded my expectations. The area was magnificent and there was just enough time for thought work and hiking. There also was enough time to do things on your own. The food was great at the restaurants. The growth was tremendous and the planning was good. I would highly recommend this retreat for anyone but especially for health care physicians and workers. Very grateful to have found Bounce Travels and so excited that they are doing this kind of work. "

Carly November, 2024

"I absolutely love everything about these retreats! I have been on several now and I just look forward to it so much. The community that is built immediately allows for such vulnerability and openness. People are able to really go deep and get to the heart of issues they are working on. I am so impressed with the presentation style and topics that the facilitators bring. They are open and honest as they educate on big topics like shame, gratitude, forgiveness, connection, boundaries, beliefs and authenticity. Their framework and dedication to sharing a bit from their own growth and lessons really makes it easy for everyone to peel back the layers and find the truth about what they are working through. It is also wonderful that we get to have these life changing moments in beautiful places with such open fantastic people. Those that choose to go on these retreats are so supportive, kind and helpful. Lifelong friends are made and I cherish these relationships. The hiking and outdoor activities really helps integrate the lessons and that quiet contemplative time is so valuable. I could not recommend this more!"

Corey November, 2024

"I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t having 30 new amazing people in my life that I will think about for the rest of my life with amazing fondness and gratefulness! I was open to whatever happened and really enjoyed my experience. I absolutely had the time of my life ❤️🫶"

Melissa October, 2024

"I attended a two night ayahuasca ceremony in Australia and I can honestly say that the experience was life changing for me. As a 50+ woman with complex PTSD from unresolved childhood traumas and zero experience with psychedelics, I initially felt vulnerable and apprehensive, however I came with a curious mind and an open heart. Jaya and Hayley provided a nurturing container that I felt completely safe in, they are not people who’ve done a little bit of training in psychedelic therapy, this is their life’s work. Their years of experience, knowledge and commitment to helping everyone in ceremony was abundantly clear from the moment that we sat together. The ceremonies themselves were intense healing experiences that were thoughtfully guided with music, song, poems and prayers, creating a powerful flow and providing a strong connection to the medicine. It was a deeply spiritual experience for me (and I don’t consider myself particularly spiritual in my everyday life). The last few years I’ve worked consistently on my healing journey with breath and somatic work, meditation, yoga and traditional psychology, although I had made lots of progress, depression still plagued me and the results gained from those modalities alone, were nothing compared to what I experienced through the healing power of ayahuasca. I achieved a deep connection with myself, an understanding that had previously been elusive to me and insights that made my life make sense. I was able to unlock doors in my psyche and move old energy out that had been literally stuck for decades, allowing space for a more positive future. I departed the weekend full of love, light and joy. I will be forever grateful for the experience I shared with this beautiful community. If the medicine is calling to you, then trust that you’re in the right place and Forest Path is without doubt the community to support your journey."

Shane October, 2024

"Jaya and Hayley are angels on earth transmitting love and light through music and medicine. They share wisdom and healing with grace and humility. It is an honor to receive such a sacrament in their noble presence. Their devotion is an inspiration to all of humanity."

"I have been to few retreats with Bounce Travel, and each of them were so helpful for self discovery, heart to heart connection with others.. They also provided applicable tools and resources for continuing growth. These retreats are like a fresh water when we burnout of work or life! Meral"

"I have been on 3 retreats with Bounce Travels and have found them so helpful in so many ways! I love the safe environment that they create where it is easy to be vulnerable and open. I have had profound shifts in several huge life issues after working through them during my time on retreat. The facilitators are so caring, helpful and open to being vulnerable themselves and that environment really creates a wonderful community where people are ready to do the work. I get so much from the content that they present and the activities and hiking are so helpful with diving deeper into issues in smaller groups. The time to process all of this amazing information is invaluable and I can't wait to go on my next retreat!"

"Amazing facilitator that was the perfect combination of kind, knowledgeable, and vulnerable. One of the most down to earth facilitators I have ever met. "

Corey September, 2024

"I went on a trip to Mexico and found it transforming. I'm going on another to Spain this year. These are trips to do real work and figure out how to lead a life in deeper alignment with the one you want to live. And then, hike, adventure, and be out in nature to relax and explore. Highly recommend!"

"This retreat was an absolute blessing, far exceeding my expectations. The educational sessions were deeply engaging, thought provoking, and perfectly timed, while the daily hikes and activities fostered incredible connections. It was a perfect blend of personal growth, self-reflection, awe, and adventure. I especially appreciated the sessions on Boundaries, Transitions, and Perfectionism - they felt tailor-made for me. Beyond the learning, I formed lifelong friendships with people who I know will support me for years to come. I’m filled with gratitude for this unforgettable experience. "

"My time with Haley and Jaya was nothing short of divine perfection. If you are looking for a sign to move forward with an experience with Haley and Jaya, then this is it. My heart beats stronger and with more light due to my time with these two beautiful souls who embody the beauty way with an impeccability I have not seen before. I am deeply grateful and humbled to have had an opportunity to sit in ceremony with them. Blessings to all who come upon this review and to Haley and Jaya. "

"I just finished an Ayahuasca Immersion with the Forest Path. I first sat with them in 2021 for a ceremony and attended an immersion in 2023. There's so much I want to compliment: yummy & healthy food, a beautiful, tranquil, comfortable temple space, I enjoyed lovely accommodations next door at Casa Colibri, with the music/sound selections and presentation I feel I'm surrounded by healing frequencies, especially this year as Hayley and Jaya have continued teaching trainings - their dedication to the relationship between vibration and healing continues to provide a deep and transformative experience. Jaya holds a sage-like poetic wisdom that I appreciate - he will also make you laugh! Hayley is exceptionally organized, clean, tender, attentive to all the little details, a true divine light being when she sings. Her nurturing blossoms in song especially within harmonization. Their love is beautiful to behold and they bring others around them with great capacity for love. I felt welcomed, safe, supported and cared for. I enjoyed spending time with our group as everyone was genuine and kind. There was truly a lot of love and light in the room the entire immersion. I would recommend them to anyone who is curious to drink ayahuasca, who wants to experience the healing potential of plant medicine, who loves music and would benefit from more love and light in their life. "

"I really truly enjoyed my three days staying and Kawoq, wanted to stay more. Staff extremely helpful and welcoming, and always with a smile. The yoga classes were amazing also, so different one to the other. Simply amazing, would definitely come back and do one week! "

"Look for my article ion my own personal experience in the New York Post (online edition), with a tentative publication of June 11, 2024. My frustration began with the absolute absence of their follow through on advising me on the subject of pre-existing intake of my RX, Paxil. I think I was the only Ayahuasca “virgin” in attendance (not 100% yet) and, if so, might should have been the one who they monitored or guided the most. Instead, I was abjectly ignored and not given any advice or guidance. Every single one of the staff were themselves in such an altered state of consciousness that they could not have been capable of being of service to even the resident kitty cat. I know, because I was as straight as a plank the entire retreat. One of the staff, Maria, came within inches of tumbling backwards off a 8-10 foot embankment while trying to FORCE me to go back inside the building (after I finally couldn’t tolerate one prolonged “song” of tortured wailing. The only participants that I witnessed puking and seemingly out of control were the staff. My assessment of the group of young people leading this organization’s ayahuasca retreat is they’re living the extremely altered reality of being the kids of some wealthy family and are PLAYING with this plant medicine. And, they couldn’t be bothered with even replying to my email of complaint about my experience. Doesn’t matter, already planning my trip to Peru. However, an estimated 5 million people will read my exposé on my experience with ForestPath. Peace to you❣️"

"Soledad was amazing and welcoming and made me feel safe and very comfortable. She explained everything and I knew I was in wonderful hands. I did Bufo and the experience was nothing like I have ever experienced before and it was amazing!!! When my ego completely dissolved I have never felt so light and free and happy. I will definitely be coming to Soledad again!!! Best decision I ever made!!!❤️❤️❤️"

"Es la tercera oportunidad que me quedo allí y cada vez me gusta mas! Me gusta mucho que estas dentro del bosque, arriba en la montaña donde solo entras en un estado natural y convives en paz contigo y con los demás! La cocina y la comida siempre es espectacular, el estaff increible y los profesores de yoga muy bien! Es un lugar altamente recomendable si quieres alejarte de distracciones y transformar tu vida a una vida consciente y abundante! Espero visitarlos por cuarta vez y seguir llevando amigos y personas nuevas al lugar para compartir! "

"Signing up with Forest Path for my 1st Ayahuasca experience was the best decision I've ever made. No one could have done it better than them. The group of facilitators really made sure everybody was taken care of. Everyone is highly knowledgeable about plant medicine, and full of words of wisdom, the live music was unmatched and everybody was full of love. Even just for 2 days together, I truly felt like I was part of a family that genuinely cares for each other. Much love!"

"I want to preface this review by saying this was my first time sitting with Ayahuasca and I was very nervous and tense going into the weekend. While I believe I had prepared well, I was still nervous about the unknown, how I'd feel and react to the medicine. I had a few chats with ISIS leading into the weekend, who helped comfort me and assured me everything was going to be fine. After the weekend I can confidently say I would do it again and maybe I didn't have to worry so much. Jaiaya and Hayley have created a warm welcoming space for people to come and heal. The ceremony itself was so so beautiful and the music they shared was incredible - the sheer amount of talent in that room from the instruments to the singing was something I've never heard before and music is one of my biggest passions. The experiences I had on the medicine were powerful and I took a lot away from them. The energy in the room and the people who came to retreat were all there as a community together. They took really good care of us, the food was amazing and overall it was a weekend I wish all of my friends and loved ones could experience. Whether this is your first time sitting or you've done it dozens of times, I'd highly recommend Forest Path!"

Erica May, 2024

"I did Ayahuasca on a Friday and Bufo on the Sunday morning before I flew out of Costa Rica. The Bufo ceremony was truly magical and an experience that I would hope everyone could experience at least once in their lifetime. Soledad was incredibly hospitable and made me and my friend feel safe. Her spiritual guidance was very loving and pure with the most positive energy. I felt wonderful and grateful when the Bufo ceremony ended. I was able to drive safely. The experience last a bit over an hour per person. Ayahuasca is around 4-5 hours experience. I did purge but felt ok and relaxed during the ceremony. I had visions with an airy sense of being. Soledad’s home is such an amazing place to experience either ceremony. Her tender nature will put you at ease and comfort you through out the experience. Ay"

"I am so glad I chose Forest Path for my first aya immersion ceremony. I did 4 nights total with 3 ceremonies. I felt very safe and well taken care of by the entire team. Very important for my first time. Really really nice facilities. Great bathrooms near the temple. The temple is beautiful, right on the lake. I had so many wonderful break through sand this really changed my life. The food was excellent. The schedule was perfect. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you have decided to try aya, this is a wonderful place to start. You won’t regret it! "

"I can highly recommend doing a ceremony with Solete! She has the magic gift of creating a very warm and safe space that makes you feel welcome and taken care of. It was my and my boyfriend’s first time trying Ayahuasca so we were looking for a personal ceremony (rather than the more typical ones with 20-100 people) and it has been a true blessing that I stumbled upon Solete’s profile. The experience with Solete and the medicine has been absolutely incredible. Her singing of the icaros really opened up the gates for me to experience the power of the medicine. She made both of us very comfortable in her magical home surrounded by nature. If you are in doubt, this is your sign to go for it :-) Thank you Solete for the fantastic work that you do. I truly hope that our paths will cross again ❤️ Warm hug!"
