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.

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.

One of the best experiences of my life

This experience was life changing to say the least. I came to the Ancestral retreat to open my heart and heal past wounds, but I experienced a totally rebirth. With the help of Carolina, Jorge, Marco, Ana, and Taita I found bliss, peace and love; not only for myself but for every living being in our planet. I am leaving this retreat with a new found zest for life, and a new outlook and appreciation for the trials and tribulations I have experienced in life. If you are looking for a sign to change your life, this is it. Book the retreat when if you are ready to finally live the life you have always dreamed of.
