Profoundly Healing
These 10 days in the jungle with Psychonauta were some of the most deeply meaningful moments of my multi-year quest of expanding levels of consciousness, connection and integration. From my initial correspondence via email to being welcomed at the Foundation to being supported through each of the 4 ceremonies, my experience was warm, welcoming and supportive. The facilitators (Blez and Sebastian) were exceptionally attentive and compassionate, attending to needs as they arose and providing plenty of space for intention setting as well as post retreat integration and processing. The plain, simple meals were perfect for the dieta process and I was able to advocate for an increase in quantity 3/4 of the way through without issue. The simple yet well constructed facilities were clean, reliably water repellent and in good standing condition. Though mosquitos were present, we were able to escape them easily enough into our cabins or Mallorca.
The ayahuasca was potent and definitely put me out of my default mode of consciousness each time I imbibed - you'll be taken to whatever you need to see. But more than the potent and physically intense ayahuasca, I greatly appreciated the recovery/dieta day in between to meditate and journal alone with nothing but the sounds of the jungle as company.
In sum, the "medicine" of this whole experience was the reinforcing harmony of each aspect of the retreat: silent isolation, ritualistic/ceremonial imbibing of a mind altering (and quite uncomfortable) substance, fasting mimicking diet, electronic detox, deep immersion in nature and communal re-integration with fellow Seekers. To experience one, two or even three of these components may be a trip you reflect on as 'interesting', to put them all together and you have the recipe for a life-altering perspective shift. Psychonauta has crafted an incredibly powerful and affordable right of passage that felt accessible, valuable, welcoming and gracious. I highly recommend!
