  • If I Attend Another Ceremony, It Will Be Here, Nowhere Else

    Framer tutorials have been a game-changer for me, a UX designer. As a beginner, the step-by-step guides helped me grasp complex concepts easily. The building blocks I learned laid a solid foundation for my design journey.

  • My Life Has Been Changed For The Best

    I do not know where to begin. I have so many wonderful things to say about the “Heart Sanctuary “retreat. The staff and Shaman are the most amazing, loving, beautiful, honest people I have ever met in my life! I booked a trip to Peru in the summer of 2022 to heal my soul.

  • I Am Coming Back an Upgraded Man

    Deep work is the best gift that I can give myself. In a society grabbing to distance myself from my inner potential and light, few are the heroes that buck the trend and offer the support to return to self.

  • Healing, Reintegration, Connection, Peace

    Coming into the retreat, I expected to gain greater insight ... although I wasn't sure, since I'd never experienced any sort of plant medicine before. As it turns out, that inexperience didn't matter. What I received was so much more - healing, reintegration, connection, peace .

  • Every One of My Worries Were Put Away

    When I walked in the first thing I noticed was how peaceful the space felt and how well put together it was. There were organized spaces with what we would need for ceremony, and people to answer my questions if need be. There were extra blankets and water if I needed any. Before ceremony Nacho took the time to really explain about Ayahuasca.

  • I Felt So Safe And Genuinely Cared For By All
