Simply the best

have been traveling the world and working with plant medicine. I have seen so much of it and consider Hayulima and the family who created this sacred space, one of the best around. They have dedicated their lives to give these traditions and the medicine an outlet to serve ALL people. They live by the principles they share. If you're looking for a space to experience medicine, consider it a HUGE blessing that Hayulima came into your field of vision. My recommendation would be to GO and have the experience.

PURE MAGIC!

My time was truly incredible and heart opening, a healing experience where the sense of community, or rather family, was such powerful medicine! What can I say? This place has had a profound impact on my life. It has been a sanctuary for transformation, not just for me but for so many others as well. It provided everything I was looking for in a plant medicine retreat and so much more that I wasn’t expecting. One of the most beautiful parts of my experience at Hayulima was finding it to be the perfect place for healing. The ceremonies are conducted with such ingenuity and care that I felt completely safe, allowing me to let go and trust the skilled medicine keepers who host the ceremonies. I always felt that I not only found a retreat but also a true sense of belonging and community 💚

Best medicine family on Earth 🌈

Hayulima is truly a magical, high vibration place full of possibilities. It is an authentic and safe space to experience healing, growth, and transformation with sacred plant medicines carried by experienced shamans with deep integrity. From the sacred fire, to the beautiful songs, to the intimate ceremonies — everything is done with such intention and care. The mountains there in the cloud forest are so ALIVE, you feel embraced by Mother Earth from the moment you arrive. Having the experience of getting to know and personally connect with the people serving the medicine is a blessing. You are visiting their home and living among them during your stay, and it is truly a sanctuary where you can feel completely supported to do the work you need to do with yourself. The food is wonderful and nourishing, and the medicine is powerful. I have healed so much in myself by working with this family in this tradition. Getting to know them over the last few years changed my life and inspired me to be in service. And it’s not just because they are masters at sharing beautiful medicine, but because they ARE the medicine. Their gentleness and compassion has shown me so much about how I want to live my own life and walk my own medicine path. There are a lot of people serving medicine, but not as many walking the spiritual path in their own lives. I love this place and this family, and I am so excited for what they are building together at Hayulima. This sanctuary is a blessing to the world, and will absolutely change your life in the most beautiful and profound ways. I wish I was there right now!

Gentle way to approach your awakening/healing

Great understanding and approach. Structured yet relaxed environment, they clearly know what they are doing and have created such a safe space for an incredibly transformational experience. Clean and cosy accomodations, amazing healthy food. Ceremonies are welcoming and well supported. Strongly recommend for new and experienced people.
