Many of you expressed interest in our jungle retreat last November, but were hesitant due to concerns about mosquitoes, insects, and the challenging conditions of the jungle. In response, we have arranged an 11-night retreat in northern Colombia, near the Caribbean Sea, offering a more comfortable and serene setting. Guests will have either private or shared accommodations, with lovely communal spaces. When not engaged in inner work, you can unwind in a peaceful environment, whether by the sea or in a beautiful swimming pool, ensuring a true holiday atmosphere.

These transformative retreats abroad offer us a unique opportunity to be fully decontextualised, immersing ourselves in the sacred medicine in the land of its origin, under conditions of safety and support that are comparable to those found in Europe.
While Yagé is not traditionally a medicine of the North, Taita Richard Benito Chasoy, our spiritual guide, has a rich and mixed heritage. On his father’s side, he hails from the Inga tribe of Putumayo, the cradle of this sacred medicine. On his mother’s side, his roots trace back to the North, where he shares deep generational ties with the indigenous community of the Tayrona region.
We are incredibly fortunate to experience the wisdom and traditional guidance of Taita Richard Benito Chasoy, an expert in the preparation of sacred medicines, with a profound love for the lands of the North. From birth, he was destined to be a medicine man, carrying the profound responsibility in the land of his paternal lineage, while also being intimately connected to the customs and wisdom of the North.
The Inner Work with Sacred Medicine
During this retreat, you will have the opportunity to participate in 6 ceremonies with the Sacred Medicine. The schedule and timing of these ceremonies will be determined on a day-to-day basis, according to the energy of the group and the need for rest.
A journey with plant medicine that expands consciousness is deeply transformative. It helps heal past wounds, dissolve internal knots, and release unconscious blockages, aiming to illuminate repetitive patterns of behaviour while fostering a profound connection to the meaning of life. This process elevates both our individual and collective consciousness.
With unconditional love, infinite gentleness, and the evolving intelligence of the sacred remedy, we will dive into the depths of ourselves—without judgment, with acceptance, empathy, and compassion. Our ultimate goal is to reconcile the fragmented parts of ourselves, guiding them toward our consciousness, so that integration may occur both within us and in our interactions with the outside world.
Important Points to Consider
Traditional Ceremonies: The ceremonies will be held in the traditional style of the Inga community, addressing physical ailments as manifestations of energetic and spiritual imbalances.
Preparation: It is important to take thiamine (Vitamin B1), which can be supported by a homeopathic treatment to help prevent mosquito bites.
What to Bring: Please bring everything you need for a comfortable stay (towels, good footwear, light and warm clothes for the evenings, and your swimsuit). We will send you a full packing list closer to the retreat date.
Participation in Ceremonies: Participation in all ceremonies is of course not mandatory. Each participant is responsible for their own well-being and should be aware of their ability to continue the process or take breaks if necessary. Please note that no refunds will be given for non-participation in any of the ceremonies.
Support: Our team of integrators will provide continuous support, offering group or individual integration sessions throughout the retreat. We also offer guidance before your arrival and after your return.
Participants often form lasting friendships, sharing unforgettable moments of camaraderie, connection, adventure, release, and healing.
