if you're searching for a profound experience with trust worthy kindhearted people!!!!
I had an amazing life changing experience thanks to everyone working with Ancestral Retreats.
They have all showed nothing but kindness and compassion , while guiding us through our own personal journeys.
Being a solo traveler , in a foreign Country , it took a lot of courage to be able to do this kind of spiritual experience on my own , and they have made it easy for me.
It’s been over 3 weeks since the retreat now , and I sleep naturally every single night (after being dependent on THC or pharmaceuticals for 10+years ) thanks to finding peace within as a result of this retreat.
Palomino was absolutely beautiful, so serene and we were lucky to have the BEST cooking team .. I’m still daydreaming about the experience !!! 😍

The most profound experience
I went there hoping to grow, to learn, and find peace. It ended up being so much more. The retreat leaders were all really cool. They complemented each other quite well. I left there with new spiritually, self awareness, happiness and a bond with the leaders + other participants.
I can’t recommend them enough.

Professional, loving, the real thing.
As someone with an indigenous background, my "expectations" for the 5 day retreat in Portugal earlier this month were high and Carolina, Stefanie, and Marco uber-delivered. Their real, authentic intention to facilitate each and everyone's healing process transpired in every interaction. Amongst charlatans and wannabes, they stood out like diamonds amonst rocks.

The experience was seamless from start to finish, from micro to macro; special and the same energy and love was put into each detail of accomodation, food, logistics as was put into being fully there mentally, physically, energetically, and spiritually during each of our developmental breakthroughs.

If you are looking for a safe space, I recommend them without reservation.

A note specifically on Stefanie: she's the calmest, most sweetest presence you will ever encounter. When I first met her, I thought she's floating, not walking, that's how light her presence was. And it stayed the same throughout the whole retreat. Beautiful.

Life-Changing
The retreat was a life-changing event for me. Carolina, Marco, and Jorge had a positive energy to share with the group and me. They are very caring and loving people. They listen to everything you say and guide you. They prepare you and get you into the mindset you should be in for ayahuasca (Plant Medicine). They are always watching over you for your safety and others. They accomplish this by keeping the size of the group small. You can tell and feel how much they love what they do. Also, keeping the group small allows everyone in the group to connect. They provided excellent hospitality and activities during my stay. I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done. I arrived angry and grumpy and left with joy and happiness. They will be lifelong friends to me and everyone I meet in the group.

Mission & Vision

We are a family of healers and holistic professionals, supporting the vision of our founder, Carolina. After a profound experience during an ayahuasca ceremony in 2015, Carolina was guided to Rishikesh in India for a transformational yoga journey. During her yoga teacher training course, she started envisioning a place where people would feel safe to heal, grow and learn about their True Self. In 2021, Carolina stumbled upon Palomino, a magical place on the Caribbean coast of Colombia with a community of people committed to their healing. Here, the Ancestral Retreats family was born. The Ancestral Team started by holding conscious events that included ancestral healing techniques and mindful practices in safe spaces to empower people to return to their center, realign, and follow their ow
