Amazing week from A to Z with the Ayllu Medincina experimented team.
Everything we had to experiment was executed with good care and attention in a safe environment.
The accomodation are clean and comfortable on a calm inspiring estate. The common area are spacious with an ocean view pool.
The pristine clean miles long beach is just a couple of minutes walk away from the charming property. The food and beverage are healthy, fullfilling, delicious and abundant.
No words are enough to describe the quality of the service we've got to enjoy during this deluxe detox and purification retreat with Ayllu Medicina. Would defenitely do it again anytime. I Highly recommend!

Another amazing week sitting around the fire at Ayllu Medicina! This family does such a wonderful job of creating a warm, loving, and joyful space in which everyone has the opportunity to heal what needs to be healed and grow what needs to be grown. The music, the ceremonies, the people, the food - all are medicine for the body and soul. So much fits into one week, it’s hard to describe it all with a few words. If you’re thinking about a retreat at Ayllu, don’t hesitate! Go and experience the magic!

This was my first time experiencing a retreat with Ayllu Medicina and I already know that I will be back for more. First of all - the team is unbelievable! They put so much thought and care into the flow of the schedule and it made for a full and nourishing week that felt balanced and supportive to the work we were doing together. Everyone really lives the values they are teaching - of humbleness, willpower, sincerity and integrity. The team cooked delicious, healthy food that inspired me to take care of my body in new ways. Spiritually, the experience was profound and safe, and there has been a lot of support with integration and opportunities to stay connected post-retreat. This experience changed my life for the better and I’m so grateful to Aime, Hwaneetah, and the whole team!

This was my THIRD time coming to Ayllu Medicina, and I still can’t get enough.
The team makes you feel so so so loved and cared for. Sitting with plant medicine can feel vulnerable, but knowing that the Medicine man, woman, and the guardians would be taking care of me every step of the way always puts my mind and heart at so much ease.
At this point, the medicine has become secondary to my experiences - the medicine family is the absolute highlight of the experience. These retreats have truly changed the trajectory of my life in the BEST possible way.
Ever since my first retreat three years ago, my life has become so much more rich. I made a huge career shift that feels INCREDIBLY aligned, my relationship with my family has grown deeper, and my trust in myself has continued to grow. My life would not be the same without this family, truly.
I love you all so much more than I can say.

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.
