Dylan Collier

Forever a student of life and healing; he brings his contagious enthusiasm and openness to help people move beyond limiting beliefs and boundaries through programs designed to raise consciousness Dylan is certified in Transformational Breathwork, Prayanama, Yoga, and Ayurvedic Pachakarma treatments. One of his main teachers is the Huachuma cactus and often oversees the ceremonies paying homage to the lineage he was taught. A student of Nada yoga (Union through sound) he finds his balance through sound healings, and is now working on diving deeper on soundscapes for journeying, and ecstatic dance. He has spent most of his working life, as a chef for private families traveling the world and learning cuisine and diving deep into local culture. A xenophile, he aims to bring these cultures to the retreats he runs. His spiritual journey started with working with the local shamans in Ecuador. Since then he has spent the last few years traveling and training to better understand what it means to hold a sacred container, his path to service. He is of the belief that there is no panacea, and that each person may have a different medicine or modality that speaks to them. After going through so many retreats himself he has found this to be true, and now partnering with Vi.bra holds this container so that any can share their gifts with those that seek it. He and his partner steward land for conservation, rewilding and to ground back into nature in Ecuador. Much of the produce used for the retreats comes from their organic greenhouses and farm. He is passionate about mother earth and looks forward to sharing their land and connection to it.

120% RECOMMENDED

The place is dreamy and has a very special energy. The attention is impeccable. The food was delicious and healthy. The medical team (which is already a great guarantee in this kind of spaces, the vast majority don't) and wellness in their spa, led by Dr Azorey is the best in the country. I am Spanish and after a lot of travel I sign this place up as top 3! of the best welfare recovery places I know. Congratulations, I will be back soon!
I can not put anything in this section. The stay was amazing and the only thing I regret is not staying longer.

Thank you Vibra!

Weekend Reset: Reconnecting with nature
I work at home, I'm a digital nomad. I decided to find a natural place to relax and continue my work in another environment. Vibra provided that possibility. In a room overlooking the jungle I was able to reset looking at the green infinity. In the afternoon I walked the forest trails, bathed in the waterfalls and in the natural pool. The next day I combined the leisure time with a delicious relaxing massage and steam therapy. On the third day I loved the experience with the Bio-personal team. The Vibra team was very attentive and explained the results of the procedure step by step. I also received a Bio-Soundproofing treatment to neutralize those substances in my body.

I am back in the city feeling refreshed today. Thank you Vibra! I will be back soon

Magical and transformation experience!

Julielynne’s Soul Purpose Collage Workshop and Retreat was a truly magical and transformative experience. I felt both safe and empowered by the welcoming and nurturing environment that she creates and freely shares. I feel that my inner and spiritual ‘work’ has been made clearer and deeper.
