Tandava Retreats

If you want to try 5MEO this is the best place to do it. Joel and Victoria are the best and most experienced in the land. I wouldn’t do it anywhere else

- Expert leadership with a depth of knowledge combined with open hearts
- Appropriate # of participants to provide feeling of both personal care and personal space
- An appropriately respectful attitude towards all of life and the sacred medicine being experienced
- Beautiful scenery and facilities connect the experience with nature
- A strong integration framework for entering and leaving the retreat experience
- 1 very entertaining cat!

I attended the retreat to help with PTSD symptoms and other mental health issues. I am a military women veterans and ordinary treatment do not work for me. I am what they would call treatment resistant. I have delved into ayahuaka many times before, which helped a lot with some aspects of my traumas and was very helpful, but i was called to this medicine (retreat) because i knew there were some parts of me that were just very prominent in my everyday life such as my identity- ego.

Joel and Victoria (facilitators), were a key point to my success during the retreat, they both are very knowledgeable but above that, they ensure that you do the work, they guide you when in times of crisis but do not try to input there experience or push there opinions of you. They just say it like it is, as it a individual journey.

I am so very thankful that i decided to attend this retreat, with the teams. They are behold amazing. I received two calls, prior to the week retreat. During the retreat, the facilitator explain the process and take a one on one approach if needed by the participant. But the most amazing is that they do not force anything onto you, i was only able to take the medecine the first day, the second day, i was just unable to take it as my experience was very difficult and had many réactivation. But for the second day, medecine sessions they supported me, with meditation.

I would recommend this retreat for those who are looking for healing, for a specific safe environment, were you can fully let go.

The space was very clean, with a small group of three candidates. The space was perfect for this kind of experience. For myself, unlike everything i have read, my experience with the medecine was extremely difficult, i did not experience the blissfullness as often described during the ceremony. I experienced, exactly what my soul needed me to experience. I was dying over and over again, but the facilitators were present and keeping a safe space for me, with both feminine and masculine energy.

This was the most powerful experience I ever had with pyschedelics, or with anything else for that matter. Tandava's beautiful hosts, Joel and Victoria, made me feel safe to have that experience and the setting of the retreat is magical. Add Otto's gentle and insightful integration approach and Luis' heavenly cooking and there is nothing more you could want from a retreat like this. I went home feeling at peace with myself for the first time in a long time.

I highly recommend this retreat
