The Ayllu Medicine Retreat is an incredible experience for anyone looking to get in touch with themselves and move forward on their spiritual journey. I would not want to take that journey with any other family than theirs.
I cannot say enough about the wisdom guidance and support they showed each one of us and they have truly become mi familia para toda la vida!

This trip has been the gift that keeps giving in unexpected and uncomfortable ways. Your life will never be the same after encountering these anointed, appointed, thoughtful, caring, and humble individuals. They take full responsibility for making sure that from the moment you commit that you know you are cared for and joining a family. The best thing is that the care continues far beyond the retreat. I have a heart full of gratitude for all the life moments, even the unwanted ones, that brought me to the scared fire of Ayllu. I thought I was coming for physical detox and left with an opened heart, new ways a breathing, and an appreciation for my voice & body world. Thanks so much Ayllu family!!!!! I’ll rise up and I’ll rise unafraid.

Ayllu Medicina is an incredible place with an incomparable family that makes these life-changing retreats possible. If you have considered plant medicines and are trying to discover the place to do so, I cannot recommend their retreats highly enough. I've had the privilege to know Hwaneetah and Aimé since 2019 undergoing my first retreat with them and hoped I would have the opportunity to see them in future. The amazing group that has joined their efforts since then (Jillian, Mika, Vanessa, Emma, and the lovely family that helps care for the retreat space and meals) have helped create magical, comprehensive, and powerful retreat weeks that cannot be fully described in words but will certainly be felt if you have the good fortune to attend one. Wonderful facilities, food, yoga, sharing circles, and meditations are just the tip of the iceberg of the beautiful week you will experience. The ceremonies will speak for themselves in their power and beauty. I recommend Ayllu to all family and friends who ask about my experiences. Aho!

The team, the community, the LOVE that exists at the core of Ayllu Medicina - is second to absolutely none.
The week with Aime, Hwaneetah, Mika, Jillian, Emma, Drew & more was one of the most profound, life-changing, and LIFE GIVING weeks of my life. In fact, it was the most profound week of my life. You have never felt so held, so cared for, & so welcomed like you have with this familia.
The attention to detail, the programming, and the reverence for nature - our nature - will leave an impact on you for the rest of your life. Do yourself a favor and give yourself permission to be re-birthed. To be transformed from the inside out.
