About Leona Evolution Therapy

Mission & Vision

Join us for a 3-day intimate immersion in the lush mountains of Antioquia, Colombia. Designed to support nervous system reset and authentic reconnection, this retreat blends twice-daily yoga (Yin & Vinyasa), guided art therapy, meditation, ceremonial cacao, fire ritual, steam sauna, and vibrant plant-based meals prepared from our garden.
A central evening of the retreat is a deeply guided ceremonial experience that weaves together slow yoga, intentional breathwork, cacao ritual, and fire ceremony in a safe and grounded setting. This multidimensional practice invites expanded awareness, emotional clarity, and heart-centered connection within a carefully held container. Participation is always optional and facilitated with preparation and integration support.

Exactly What Was Needed
I should preface this review by saying that I have never participated in anything like this ... the thought of seeking out help in this capacity wasn't really something that I thought I'd ever do. I've done therapy before to work on some stuff, but this was completely different.

I understand that Juliana is a licensed therapist as well, but her approach to care and compassion and education was what sold me. She not only educated me about plant medicine, but helped me feel comfortable with sharing about myself and my journey.

We met a couple of times virtually to talk about my intentions, what I was hoping for with the medicine, and how to take what I learned in ceremony and apply it to my day-to-day life, almost as if she was giving me all the necessary tools to not only participate in the ceremony, but also to carry everything with me to live a more nuanced and fulfilled life; whereas, I'd always seen things in black and white.

Without going into too much detail, I'll say this has been life-changing for me. After the ceremony, I felt lighter and less burdened by past trauma and mental disruption. I was able to use the medicine to ask big questions, and I really listened to the medicine and never demanded more than what it was willing to show. I think that's the biggest lesson I can give is to not necessarily expect anything from the medicine, but to let it show you what you need to see, rather than what you want to see.

I'd definitely partake in another ceremony with Julie and Bene. Again, LIFE-CHANGING!!!!!

Fantastici
I have a pretty chaotic schedule…
Between running my business and supporting my family, there is not much room left for anything else. I was feeling pretty disconnected from myself and my loved ones.
And I reached a point that I knew I needed to invest some time and effort into my personal development. I was a bit nervous and didn’t really know what to expect when I booked my first session with Leona.
Right away I felt a sense of ease as I sat with Benedetto and Juliana. It felt very natural to open up to them and share about my life and how this was all something very new to me.
The Leona team helped me understand what my intentions were for my Microdosing cycle. Something I didn’t really know how to express with words, but through our sessions, I was able to have two people mirror back to me things I was feeling and areas of my life that needed support.

I feel like im learning a new language or learning to walk again.
This world of feelings and expression is strange but also very rewarding.
I have been able to explore my spirituality for the first time in my life, with the help of psilocybin and Leona. Working with cacao and mushrooms has opened a divine channel inside of me.
I feel more connected to my environment as a whole.
I notice I receive messages throughout my day. About big and little things.
I have also noticed that I am more patient. With my employees, with my family, with myself.
This experience has helped me restore my relationship with my wife and kids.
The relationship with my wife feels more balanced, more heart centered.

I am grateful for the support I received from the Leona team. I know they are very dedicated to the work they are doing with cacao and psilocybin. I appreciate how kind they were with me and how much I learned in session.
