Melina says, "I didn’t really know what to expect on this retreat or with the medicine and went on a whim with my elderly tía and dad as this was my tía’s idea. I was given so much through the medicine and the maestros!! The facilitators treated me and my family with so much care and concern and were so attentive and helpful throughout our stay! The maestros and each facilitator (Tamana, John, Imani, Stacy, and Chandler) held space for myself and my tía especially when she was feeling frightened and ready to leave! Everything about Arkana was beautiful and well thought out! The chef and his meals were delicious! The guides that took us out Falcon and Pecho were great! Each maestro and their Icaros were beautiful Maestro Samuel, Maestro Luis, and Maestro Grimaldo are out of this world! I left Arkana with an immense sense of gratitude and steadfast desire to change because I was changed and I am a changed person! Thank you Tamana and Nina for providing Spanish translations for my family and each of the facilitators for taking such great care of us as we opened ourselves up to become vulnerable! The price is high but having had the experience I did I honestly can say that it is worth it! I hope to return again with more of my family and loved ones!" See more
Tess says, "I had such an impactful experience guided by Sanne. She was open and informative beforehand and made me feel comfortable sharing my intention. During the experience, I felt so comfortable knowing that she was there - she has a wise, calming, warm presence that put me at ease." See more
Holli says, "What a gem of a human being. Jacqui teaches with heart. She knows what she is doing and does it well. She explains things well, thoroughly, and shares just enough about her own experiences to be relatable while not making it about herself." See more
