What a place! True Sanctuary ❤
What a place! It is a true Sanctuary for your body, mind and soul. Medicine is one thing but community is another way to heal.

The Guridians of this land not only walk thier talk, but care for both the land and those who visit. Thier integrity and authenticity is truly felt, and I am deeply grateful for the privilege of discovering Hayulima.

Thank you for your care, guidance and companionship ❤ with love, Gosia

Awesome
Hayulima not only lies on a Beautiful property, it is also run by beautiful people. The shaman which I have met before at another location are genuinely caring and have my absolute trust. The food was incredible and the kitchen personal are super sweet. This is the only place I will do a medicine retreat. To anyone seeking the experience, I highly recommend that you will consider Hayulima as your choice. You will be in loving hands and have a wonderful experience. Read More

My experience at Hayulima
Words are not strong enough to describe the experience I had at Hayulima. The place, the nature, the people, the food,...everything is amazing! The people are so nice, caring, humble and authentic, that just to be around them is healing. I feel privileged and blessed that my path crossed theirs. The amount of things that I learned, by being around them and through the medicine, is so overwhelming that it will take me months to unfold all that this experience brought to me. I feel that I received so so so much! This is life-changing, and in a very good and healthy way. I feel that I have not only found a new spiritual family that I love deeply, but I also came back home with the answers I was looking for, the missing pieces of my puzzle, a profound innerpeace, a more grounded presence and an endless gratitude.
Thanks to each and every soul that crossed my path at Hayulima. You'll always be in my heart. And we will see eachother again the next time I get the calling to sit with the medicine. In the meantime, I wish you all the best. Love, Isabelle

A Sanctuary of Spirit, Love and Light
Hayulima is run by a group of people who radiate kindness, integrity, openness, professionalism, faith, skill and love.

The food is amazing, the accommodations are great, the maloca is beautiful, and the grounds and surrounding forest provide a stunning backdrop to all of the proceedings.

Salvador, Amalia, Matthias, Fernanda, Diana and the rest of the team members and volunteers put so much energy, thought and love into the ceremonies. It is truly something to behold.

If you decide to take the leap, I have no doubt that you will feel grateful to become a member of the Hayulima family. Read More
