a sanctuary for the soul
a place that was created for seekers to reconnect with essence, with nature, with that which is already sacred within and around us. It is inviting to come back to the simplicity and joy of life, through meditation and celebration, through inner work and music, deep solitude and community.

Incredible place
I recently spent two incredible weeks at Pachamama, and I can honestly say it was life-changing! As a foreigner and a solo female traveller, I felt safe, welcomed, and part of the community from the start. The peaceful jungle surroundings, the daily yoga, and the authentic spiritual practices helped me disconnect from my busy life and reconnect with myself on a deeper level. I left feeling rejuvenated, more grounded, and ready to bring this newfound energy back home. I’m already planning my next visit – can’t wait to return to this magical place!

Out of this world
I came to Pachamama as work exchanger but my main purpose was to partake in some of the workshop. In particular, the Freedom from the Past workshop and the Silent retreat. Neither disappointed, in fact both were deep gifts I will carry forever.
I loved the WEX program, it gave me an opportunity to experience Pachamama. I loved my casita! I love that the food is local and organic, most importantly amazing vegetarian options! This place changed my life to my core. It might not be for everyone but if you love nature, community, dance and much more I highly recommend this place

Amazing experience
I had the pleasure of doing a body cleanse, silent retreat, and some other workshops in Pachamama. The setting is in the jungle and a nice way to disconnect from the busy world. The abundance of clean water, fresh food, and spiritual way of life is easy to fall in love with. I found the heart of the community to be the most beautiful aspect of what is offered there. It was a life changing experience that I would recommend to anyone!

Not enough food
I read on the page of the Pachamama community that they are welcoming people who work for them and in exchange they get food and a place to put their tent for free. Imagine you make your way through the forest into this community and start to trust.
As a worker, you work for some hours. That's nice.
And in the evening you are surrounded by all the others. You all share silence for some time.
But as soon as the bell rings people jump up. To be explicit: the workers jump up in a very rushed way.
To hurry up for being the first in the line.
Workers get soup and rice. That's fine.
Imagine you are taking your time after the sound of the bell. And imagine there is no soup left because you were not fast enough to reach the dining room.
The reason why I visited this place is because I trust that I am entering a place where people truly care and even more live it.
I let my review in a short version.
I wrote for you who is not interested in falling into a trap. I wrote for the people who are truly connected to themselves.
The simple fact that they do not have enough food for the workers shows me that the Pachamama community is not ready for me.
I left after 4 days and proofed by this action that I truly care.
And you proof that you truly care by not going to this place. But if you go, you would need to change the place in a radical way by provoking and speaking out loud. Like a warrior. It is so clear.
