kuntanawa one night retreat
This retreat was healing and transformational. I am still processing and continue to work through my experience in these days since my return. It was evident that a lot of care was taken in preparing for participants. Our comfort during the ceremony was well attended to. The ceremony itself was wonderful. The guide Haru was clearly very experienced and shard so much knowledge and wisdom with us. I am so very grateful for the plant medicine and being able to have this experience.

Genuine. Enlightening and Beautiful
I’ve had several experiences with plant medicine. This however, was the most genuine one. The medicine was gentle and effective. Hyra and Haru are an abundance of information as well as their lovely support team. The mission is a valuable one to share the plant medicine with the western world so people realize the value in saving the Amazon. As deforestation is happening in an alarming rate. It was a beautiful retreat, being surrounded by like-minded folks. Being taught about the medicine and able to purchase goods to take home. Sending blessings to the Kuntanawa nation and looking forward to your return visit.

Ayahuasca retreat
It was an amazing experience. This was my first time experiencing grandmother. From the start the work that was put in to prepare for grandmother was very helpful. Prince Haru was also amazing with the ritual ceremony and singing. Thank you

Very hands off…
This was my 10th ceremony and one of the most extreme ones I’ve ever had. The facilitators were much more hands off during the ceremony than what I’ve seen when someone is going through a rough patch, which was fine at the time because I had enough tools to get through it though I spent most of the ceremony crying and puking. I was very weak as the ceremony ended and knew I needed food and inquired about it multiple times.

They said it would be out soon and, because I had such a hard ceremony, offered to put me in a yurt away from everyone, a somewhat long walk away in the forest. Once there, I waiting for hours to receive food before I realized they weren’t coming back with any. I was incredibly strung out and walked down to see everyone was sleeping. I didn’t know where the leaders were sleeping or how to ask for help, so packed up my things and called my husband as I drove home at 4:00am and didn’t get any food in my belly til 5:00am. By then my system was officially shot and set up my next next days to be incredibly traumatic.

The days (weeks) after were some of the worse of my life. I couldn’t sleep the first nights, nor could I stop puking and had diarrhea straight for three weeks (sometimes sitting on the toilet for up to 40 times in a day). I kept getting waves that would send me into very extreme headspace’s and it was a battle to get through. I had to rely on friends, therapists, mentors, crisis lines and lots of dedicated ceremony to move through it all.

I asked to be connected with the leaders multiple times through that time period and while my intake contact at least called me back a couple of times and was as helpful as she could be, I only heard from those at the retreat for the first time via text 5 days after the ceremony, and they were unable to secure a time to talk with me. I asked if we could put a time on the calendar so I knew when to expect them and they never replied.

I reached out a couple weeks later as another wave hit and I couldn’t stop gagging and was told Hayra would try to get ahold of me, but I never received a phone call or text.

I’m finally through the worst of it now, although navigating long term physiological and psychological effects from the ceremony as I continue to put myself back together.

I think this group has a really beautiful message, but as a participant received some very negligent care and support that I think others should be weary of. This medicine can really disrupt your life and needs to be managed with more attentive care by those serving it.

Life changing
It is hard for me to express in words the depth of my gratitude for the guidance Haru and Hayra provided during my experience.

Their music and songs guided me in a gentle but definitive way. My first ceremony gave me such deep healing, through a reunification of myself. My second was, without doubt, the most enlightening and profound experience I have ever had.

I believe how they are administering this medicine, is truly special. I still catch myself singing, and I'm right back there.

The timing of the retreat, and how I came to hear of it, enabled me to go into the experience in a truly open way. The location of the retreat provided the energy and framework for a nurturing experience. I felt welcomed into the loving embrace of my divine mother, as though I was a newborn child, gazing lovingly upon her face, after hearing her voice for so long
I had the hope of finding healing. I found so much more.
