I can’t say enough great things about the retreat I had at Ayllu Medecina. The staff is incredible! Not only are they great at what they do, but they actually care about the well being of the participants. The programs they have are very well thought out and purposeful. It’s not an understatement to say that this was one of the most profound experiences of my life. The location with a view and walking distance to the ocean is wonderful. All their spaces where ceremonies, yoga, and meditations are done are beautiful and comfortable as well. If you’ve ever been called to experience plant medicines, this is the place to do it!

This retreat came highly recommended to me from a trusted friend. And her enthusiastic endorsement didn't do it justice! I was unprepared for how every aspect of the retreat was so well-designed, intentional, and beautifully held. Aime and Hwaneetah are both unbelievably wise, deep, powerful, supportive medicine carriers - and also really funny! I appreciated the lightness that was available and interwoven within deeply sacred spaces and ceremonies. In addition, the supporters are truly committed to this path, and to being of service in whatever is needed - and it was palpable how their service came from the heart. Truly incredible people. Ahead of this retreat, I was admittedly nervous about trusting the medicine, the guidance, the practices, and the support. If this is you right now, let me assure you that you can put those concerns to rest, let go, and you will be beautifully held through a profound week of retreat that will likely change how you experience the world moving forward. Oh - and shout out to the communication and logistics planning through Emma. I so appreciated the pre-arranged taxis, guidance on local lodging, and all other practical concerns. All facets of getting to-and from- the retreat center were seamless for me because of the involvement of the staff in ensuring that. Many thanks to this *special* group of people at Ayllu Medicina who are now family :)

This was my second time with the Allyu Familia, and once again it was truly life-changing. The attention, care, and presence from everyone there is absolutely stellar. Every part of the experience felt deeply held, heart-opening, and transformative. I’m so grateful for the love, wisdom, and support I received throughout the retreat. Allyu Medicina is a very special place, and I know I will be back again. Aho!

This is truly the best retreat experience you could ever have. This was my third retreat at Ayllu and I can't wait to go back for a fourth time. Everything is so thoughtfully planned and executed that it feels seamless the whole time you are there. The staff are super kind and make you feel safe and cared for. The food is delicious and made with so much love. The space is beautiful. I can't say enough good things about Ayllu and all they have to offer. Highly highly recommend.

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.
