Ayankuraka Retreats

This retreat far exceeded by expectations for what I thought was possible. I will forever look back on this week as one of the most challenging, memorable and rewarding experiences of my life

Denise and Cesar are compassionate and amazing people that are genuinely running their retreats to heal. There guidance created a positive and safe environment that made the difficult parts manageable and the revelationary parts even more impactful.

Every aspect including the meditation, integration, breathwork, sweat lodge, excercises adds so much to the whole experience.

The ceremonies themselves are nothing short of beautiful and Denise, Cesar, and Irdanti's dance and music are amazing to see.

I strongly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to overcome any difficulties in their lives. You are in good hands with Denise and Cesar. I will forever be grateful for their work in this retreat and hope to return in the near future.

I spent a week growing, healing & processing so much beneath the beautiful eucalyptus grove in Pisac Peru. Thank you so much to Denise Cooper and César Eret for leading such a beautiful, deep retreat. I can't recommmend the work they are doing enough - they hold such a safe, explorative space so you can be vulnerable and let go of what is no longer serving you. Pisac, Perú will always have a special place in my heart!

This retreat was the best thing I could have done for myself and my relationship with my husband. Not only did I leave the retreat renewed in my body, mind and spirit, but also my husband grew closer. I have horrible allergies and asthma by the 3day no symptoms....I have been home now over 2 weeks and continue to do so much better as compared to when I left for Peru! Cesar and Denise are truly dedicated to each and every participant of the retreat......
Much love and GRATITUDE to both Cesar and Denise!

What a great adventure!
When one needs to invigorate and reinvent their life, where do you start?
You start with yourself.
The Live, Life, Lit retreat gives you everything you need, body and mind to start a clean path to the rest of your life. I was amazed by the transformation of how one can feel, once you clear your system of toxins and waste hidden within your digestive system. 7 days of organic fresh juices and broths is all the body needs while staying solid food free. It was easier then I had thought. This was a complete body and mind reset. The best thing I could have done with my wife. Going through this together was such a boost to our relationship. Being together for over 23 years and raising children and grandchildren, we thought we had been through it all. This retreat re-introduced us in a way western medicine or conventional vacations could never accomplish. Denise & Caesar were both instrumental in creating a safe and nurturing environment. Not only by sharing their expertise, but by bringing a unique and varied group of personalities together to share space with, for 7 days. I have made some great friends for life during this retreat. There is so much more to this retreat then a 7 day fast. Other modalities offered were very impressive and made a very positive impact on our spirit. I highly recommend the Kambo Ceremony as an elective to definitely add to your experience. All the other specialists were unique and highly effective in pampering one’s soul and spirit. Meredith Shippam never ceases to amaze, in her power of clearing negative energy. You can be sure of every modality; as they are hand picked for there healing abilities by Denise and Caesar. I came to the conclusion that if they are part of this retreat, then they are of a high level in their respective crafts. The spiritual ceremonies were essential and magical. To experience Earth Mother (Pachamama) through the spirit of the vine is something you will never forget or regret. You could do yourself no greater favor, Do this one!

I attended a seven day sacred juice cleansing retreat with Denise and Cesar's leadership in February. To say it was transformative is to only scratch the surface. The retreat location was lovely and comfortable. The schedule was intentional and well paced. The facilitators were extraordinary. There are probably a lot of retreats that can boast the same. I have been on many retreats over many years and all have been impactful, but Live.Life.Lit gave me new life. This retreat made meaning of all the previous experiences in a profound way and I found myself, my essence, my center. Denise and Cesar are a magical pair that work beautifully together to create a space for individuals to journey individually but also collectively in loving support. Their deep spiritual core informs all they do and when in their presence you feel the sacred. When I returned home all could observe the difference and begged to learn how they too could have this experience. It is my hope that I can encourage others to participate in a live.life.lit retreat. I know it will be life enhancing, it was for me.
