About this Retreat
Traditionally known as Yawikapí, "Tiger Necklace," he was born on July 20, 1978, in La Pedrera, Amazonas, Colombia. A member of the Tiger Clan, Taita Libardo has dedicated more than 25 years to sharing ancestral medicine and traditional teachings.
His training began at a very young age under the guidance of his father, the renowned Taita Luis Eduardo Matapí Yucuna, with whom he studied for 15 years, strengthening a legacy based on respect and connection with the traditions of his people.
Throughout his life, he has traveled through various territories of the Colombian Amazon, sharing and learning from great wisdom keepers of indigenous communities such as the Murui, Corebajú, Kichwa, Macuna, and Siona. For over 17 years, he also worked as a bilingual teacher and traditional authority, imparting not only academic knowledge but also spiritual values and healing practices.
The Taita shares the medicines of yagé (capi in his language), mambe, ambil, rapé, and kambo—essential elements for restoring harmony between body, mind, and spirit.
His holistic approach honors ancestral processes and promotes a safe and authentic space for those seeking healing. His mission is to keep his people's cultural heritage alive and pass it on with love to future generations.
Trauma-aware somatic practitioner and dance therapist.
Hi, I’m Lara. I grew up in the quiet countryside of Belgium and later chased city pace and engineering degrees. On paper, I was “doing well.” Inside, I was lost. After a traumatic event, and later a difficult childbirth, my body felt like a stranger to me.
What brought me back was movement, but not as a performance. Through somatic practices, breath, and simple, honest motion, I learned to listen again. I came to understand that my body isn’t separate from nature; my body is nature. When I finally honored that truth, the edges softened and clarity returned. Dance, my first language since I was three, became my medicine, alongside meditation, micromovements, yoga, and journaling as my mirror.
With my partner Diego, I moved to Colombia to live closer to the land. We built our home — and then our retreat center — by hand, with earth and bamboo, and we’re raising our children in a way that matches our values: simple, present, nature-rooted. We also learn regularly with indigenous elders here in Colombia, whose guidance helps us bridge ancestral wisdom with everyday life, especially when things feel hard.
My relationship with ayahuasca has unfolded slowly, over time. For me, it has never been about intense experiences or quick breakthroughs, but about learning how to soften, how to surrender, and how to gently release control. This understanding didn’t come from the mind — it came through the body. I had to learn, consciously and unconsciously, how to feel safe enough to let go. Somatic practices became the foundation that allowed the medicine to meet me with more trust, clarity, and humility.
My work is gentle and deep. I use somatic and expressive movement, breath, nervous system regulation touchpoints, and guided journaling to help you feel again, safely. I hold a clear, trauma-aware space where you don’t have to perform or push. Just meet yourself, honestly.
This retreat isn’t about fixing you. It’s about remembering you — through your body, with nature as a mirror and plant medicine as a catalyst.
Born in France in 1979, Árbol initially trained as a physical education teacher. However, in 2001, due to health issues, he embarked on a journey to the Peruvian Amazon in search of healing. There, he discovered the profound power of medicinal plants and the spiritual depth of the ancestral wisdom of the Amazonian peoples.
Guided by various teachers from Asháninca, Shipibo, Kichwa, and Matses communities, Árbol dedicated over 10 years to learning the knowledge and ceremonies related to Ayahuasca. In 2009, he co-founded the community school Aroiris in Iquitos, and in 2013 he began his path with Kambó medicine, which he learned from the Matses elders.
Since 2016, he has organized training programs for this medicine at Aroiris. Additionally, he received teachings from other Amazonian peoples, such as the Boras and Muruy, as well as from the Mamos of the Sierra Nevada and the Jates Muiscas in their ancestral memory recovery processes.
In the ceremony, Árbol will accompany the taita and be present to support the process, offering his experience and deep respect for these traditions.
Half Belgian and half Colombian, Diego grew up surrounded by nature in rural Belgium before living in Spain and later traveling extensively. Ten years ago, his first encounter with ayahuasca led him to Colombia, guided by a deep call toward simplicity, land-based living, and ancestral wisdom.
Since then, he has apprenticed himself to the land and sat regularly with Colombian indigenous elders, learning through direct experience — not as theory, but as practice: how to listen, how to sit with presence, how to meet the medicine with respect. His learning is rooted in humility, curiosity, and deep respect for ancestral medicine lineages.
Throughout the retreat, Diego accompanies participants with grounded emotional support while honoring personal boundaries, helping to create a safe and stable container for deep inner processes. Deeply connected to nature, he knows the territory and its plants, and works closely with the land to support the ceremonial field.
His approach is practical, embodied, and attentive — rooted in listening, simplicity, and care.
Diego is co-founder of Fuente Alegre and holds the physical, logistical, and relational foundations of the retreat space. He is responsible for the land, daily operations, and participant care, ensuring that everything needed for the journey is held with consistency, presence, and attention to detail. Diego's hands have shaped the spaces that now hold retreat processes — environments created for slowness, truth, and reconnection.
Details of this retreat
From insight to embodied transformation
If you’re ready to explore what’s beneath the surface, in a safe, trauma-informed, and supportive space, guided by a trusted community and practices that reconnect you to your body, this retreat is for YOU.
By the end of this retreat, you’ll feel more grounded in your body, clearer in your heart, and connected to something greater than yourself, through the combined power of sacred yagé (ayahuasca) ceremony, somatic practices, and a family-like community that holds you.
You’ll leave with deeper trust in your inner process, tools for emotional regulation, and a renewed sense of direction, so you can return to your life feeling more whole, more awake, and more aligned with what truly matters.
DROP INTO THE EXPERIENCE
Imagine stepping into a way of living that's deeply connected to nature and community. You will hike into the lush Colombian mountains, leaving the noise of the world behind. With every step, your senses will soften; birdsong, rivers, and sacred silence will greet you. After a gentle walk through nature, you’ll arrive at a hand-built retreat center, crafted with natural materials and the wisdom of the land. Here, nature conexion isn't a concept, it’s our way of life.
You’ll settle into a space that invites listening; to tradition, to Spirit, and most of all, to yourself.
You will be welcomed by a caring team, including our respected Indigenous Taita, a shaman from a lineage of wisdom passed down through generations, who will not only guide the ceremonial space but will be present for you the whole journey.
From the moment you arrive, the journey begins. Through somatic (body-based and movement) practices, you will gently ground into the territory, reconnect with your body, and begin weaving bonds with the group that will walk this path beside you. You will also receive somatic tools to support you during the ceremonies. Furthermore, you will have private time with the facilitators, where you will be deeply listened to.
Step by step, a foundation of safety and trust is created. Only then, when the body begins to recognize safety, will you enter the sacred ceremonies of ayahuasca.
Held by ancestral traditions and sacred medicine music, you will be supported through every stage of the experience. The music becomes a guide, moving through every layer of your being, while the small, family-like circle around you offers a space where you can be seen and welcomed exactly as you are.
Throughout the journey, you will learn how to meet the intensity of the medicine with presence, how to listen to the wisdom of your body with compassion, and how to move through what arises, not with fear, but with trust.
WHY THIS RETREAT
The Ayahuasca & Somatic Journey Retreat is not just another ayahuasca retreat. It’s a holistic, transformational experience created for those who are no longer seeking a quick fix, a peak experience, or a spiritual high. This retreat is for those who are ready to meet themselves fully, honestly, and gently.
Here, healing doesn’t come from intensity alone, but from integration. From sacred ceremony and deep listening. From reconnecting to your body, your truth, and a kind of support that feels real, not performative.
You’ll be held in a space that honors both the medicine and the nervous system. Because we believe true transformation happens when spirit meets the body… and when both are welcomed with softness and care.
WHAT THE RETREAT OFFERS YOU
The medicines may open the door to spiritual insight, emotional release, or a felt connection with something greater than yourself. But this retreat is much more than that; it’s a carefully held space designed to support your process before, during, and after the ceremonies.
You’ll learn to reconnect with your emotions through the body in a way that feels safe, manageable, and real. With gentle somatic practices and a trauma-informed approach, you’ll build the capacity to feel more (including during ceremonies), without being overwhelmed.
You’ll be given space and structure to slow down and listen. Through somatic preparation and integration, group processes, journaling and immersion in nature, you’ll begin to release what’s been held in your body and return home with more clarity, more calm, and more connection.
The Yagé used in the ceremonies has been lovingly prepared by the Taita and supporting team, using plants from the very land we stand on, enhancing the potency of the medicine and grounding your journey in the spirit of the mountains and ancestral wisdom.
THE POWER OF COMBINING SOMATIC PRACTICES WITH PLAN MEDICINES
Healing happens most deeply when we engage not only the mind, but also the body and spirit.
Somatic practices are body-centered approaches that help us reconnect with our sensations, emotions, and inner experiences. Through conscious movement, breathwork, and body awareness, we learn to regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and send important cues of safety to the body. This is essential because true surrender cannot happen through the mind alone; letting go becomes possible only when the body itself feels safe.
Yagé can open profound states of awareness and emotional release. But without the ability to stay connected to the body, the intensity of the experience may feel overwhelming. Somatic tools help you remain grounded, navigate what arises with presence, and integrate the experience through feeling more than thinking.
By cultivating awareness through movement and breath before, during, and after the ceremony, we create the conditions for transformation that is not only profound but also safe, embodied, and lasting.
SAFETY IS THE FOUNDATION
Before the ceremonies, we guide you through practices designed to create four essential layers of safety:
Safety in the place — Knowing where you are, who holds the land, and where you are landing helps your body settle from the start.
Safety with the group — Through playful group activities, we build trust, belonging, and connection — so you can feel at ease being yourself.
Safety with the facilitators — All facilitators, including the Taita, are present and available throughout the entire retreat — not just during ceremonies.
Safety in the body — With somatic tools and nervous system regulation, your body learns it’s safe, so your mind can let go.
These foundations allow you to release control and connect more deeply with the medicine, with trust, presence, and support.
