"Absolutely Amazing - Danilo and Ilse are such loving, caring, guiding and full of compassion and wise words and advices. The entire experience was amazing - from sessions, reviling, singing and awakening your inner deep. They are fantastic musicians and great voice - the one of Ilse is like an Angel singing. Their house is great surrounded by various citrus trees, avocados, garden with vegs a cold stream and woods.
I am very grateful for it all and will be back again for sure. They became my family. Highly recommend."
"I came into this experience with a specific aspect of my life I was hoping to gain insight into — Ayahuasca delivered what I was looking for and so much more. The ceremonies were transformative and we gained a strong bond with the people who shared this journey. This is a place where you can be truly yourself without the fear of being judged. It was the most amazing and strange experience at the same time, to go through such profound happiness and joy, as well as fear and panic, it is so hard to explain. The healing and love I received will forever be in my heart. This journey opened my heart and mind to new possibilities and a better future filled with love and hope. This place and these people are absolutely amazing. I cannot express enough gratitude to the facilitators, Ariana and Colin as well as Dean, Cellene, Sergio and Sally. I felt deeply cared for and supported throughout my experience and I am unbelievably thankful. I will be back again for sure, as the journey has just began for me."
"I had an amazing journey with Siddiq. He hosted me with his thoughtful and caring partner Payton that cooked amazingly vegan herbal meals. Both made me safe and comfortable. I had a wonderful big room in this arty house in the mountains. The perfect landscape to connect with mushrooms. Siddiq hold the space respectfully with presence and gave me an amazing massage to relax and get into my trip. He was present all along to support whenever I had emotional moments. I highly recommend to be accompany by Siddiq !"
"I recently had the privilege of participating in a session facilitated by Siddiq, and I must say it was a truly meaningful experience. From the moment I reached out to inquire about joining a psilocybin session, Siddiq was incredibly attentive and supportive. He took the time to address all my concerns and provided invaluable materials to help me prepare for the session, including a wealth of resources like videos, podcasts, and books. These resources served as a roadmap for further exploration and reflection, both before and after the session.
Upon arriving at the retreat, Siddiq made me feel completely at ease. He listened attentively to my apprehensions and took proactive steps to ensure my comfort. The relaxation exercises we engaged in beforehand were instrumental in calming my nerves and fostering a sense of acceptance.
Throughout the session, Siddiq was a steadfast presence, guiding me through each stage of the journey with compassion and expertise. His unwavering support, whether it was holding my hand during moments of fear or offering insightful suggestions when I felt lost, was truly invaluable. Even after the effects of the mushroom had subsided, Siddiq remained by my side, helping me process and integrate the experience.
The following day, we took a rejuvenating walk in the woods, allowing me to reconnect with nature and engage in meaningful conversation. Through it all, I came to a profound realization: individuals like Siddiq are the catalysts for healing in this world. His dedication, empathy, and wisdom have left an indelible mark on me, and for that, I am deeply grateful."
"I went into this experience open minded not knowing what to expect as I had never done anything like it. All I can say is WOW I was completely mind blown. The whole hearted love and support I felt while there was out of this world! I came out a whole new women with a mind set I never thought I could achieve.
I would highly recommend to anybody looking to change their mindset or just have time to relax and reconnect.
Danilo and Ilse are the most warm welcoming and loving couple to invite you into their beautiful home in the most beautiful location. They really helped me feel connected and I am very thankful for the emotional support they gave me during my time with them. "
"This experience was beyond anything I could have imagined or dreamt of. The support and guidance is unlike anything I have seen before. With small groups the connection to the facilitators but also the other participants is so much deeper, than at other retreats. This also means that they can make individual adjustments to the group or single participants, if needed. The sessions and integration are so immersive, it is hard to put in words. Ilse is singing with the voice of a goddess and Danilo has the gift to always feel/know exactly what song or sound are needed to gently drive the participants in full immersion. Also I loved that they were not acting like untouchable gurus, but were vulnerable and shared parts of their journeys as well. This helped me a lot to connect and let my guard down completely to get the most out of the retreat. Also the location is amazing. They grow fresh foods and veggies on the little farm, there is a small river and also some hills to go for a little hike. The ideal spot to relax and connect with nature. "
"I attended the retreat knowing I had to find some deep emotional change to deal with many life difficulties and find a path that was right for me. And boy did I find it with Danilo and Ilse. They provide a very loving and compassionate experience for all guests to explore their most personal needs. I can honestly say that I have found an achievable way to grow and flourish with a higher perspective and more positive life to come. The retreat will challenge you but the rewards are worth every effort. There is magic here in these people.. book it in and embrace the beautiful experience of FromGaiaForYou."
"I have been at similar retreats before, but what Danilo and Ilse are doing is absolutely outstanding. Doing the retreat in a small group is key to build trust and be able to guide each participant individually. Danilo has helped me to resolve emotional, mental and physical issues that troubled me and prepared me to be able to receive a wonderful, one of a lifetime experience with the plant medicines. He has earned my deepest trust and respect.
As for the ceremony itself, Ilse and Danilo created a truly magical atmosphere with music, singing, playing guitar and piano and performing various rituals that helped me to connect with very ancient wisdom and spirits. They are exceptionally skilled holistic healers. I left the retreat enchanted with high spirits, motivation and inspiration for my life journey.
I highly recommend the retreat for everyone who seeks support on their journey and is open to receive a deeply mystical expirience. It is not meant to be understood with the scientific method and one has to let go and trust them but then this is precisely why it's so powerful. "
"Na deze retreat was ik precies herboren en heb ik terug mijzelf geworden. De retreat heeft mijn ogen geopend👌. Ik vond de retreat zo goed dat ik nog een keer gegaan ben met mijn familie.
Danilo en Ilse bedankt!!!!🙏 "
"APL are very professional. The team are all amazing people and they made me feel very supported, cared for and safe.

"I have previously experienced Ayahuasca in different settings and must say that this one was hands down, the best.
Such a warm welcome from the people and a loving house in the most beautiful nature.
There was no rush. There was plenty of time to arrive, to settle and to explore. Zero pressure.
I have felt so much love coming from the facilitators. Not only towards the medicine, but towards the act of service and fostering a safe and secure space where everyone feels relaxed and able to express their true authentic self.
There was no pretentiousness. It was a very loving experience that nurtures healing and rest.
It is truly the perfect setting for everyone who is looking for healing and transformation.
For me, it was the first time experiencing a Shipibo Shaman. My wildest imaginations were blown! José did truly an amazing job. There was so much wisdom and healing coming from him.
I am deeply touched and grateful to have experienced this in this lifetime.
Everyone who feels the call or curiosity to join this place, please do.
In comparison to other retreats that I have been to, this one has been the best (by far!).
I can highly and truly recommend it."
"I think everything from the location of the retreat at La Posada Romana, the number of participants, the sessions and the food being served was well thought out. There's almost a 1-to-1 ratio of facilitators to participants so there is a focus on personalized attention and you know you're being taken care of. Apart from that, Colin, Ariana, Sergio, Dean, Cellene, Sally and Zarah were all amazing human beings. They bring in a lot of positive energy into the whole experience. I'd do it again in a heartbeat"
"This experience helped me a lot and gave me true deep healing. Danilo and Ilse created a beautiful space for healing and growth.
"
"From the moment I arrived I was made to feel very safe and welcome and that continued through the whole experience. Siddiq was a really safe and responsive facilitator and responded to whatever I needed throughout the session. He really is a pro. I would highly recommend for a beautiful, safe and lovely experience. I was made to feel so comfortable and safe through the whole journey, including the difficult parts. Enjoy your journey! :)
"
"My experience with Siddiq was great, he seemed very confident answering all my questions and definitely helped me feel comfortable with the whole experience- including preparation and the integration. He's very knowledgeable about working with mushrooms and all the current studies and was able to help me understand the benefits of psilocybin therapy. Really a great person to work with, thank you Siddiq! "
"I had such a profound experience that was provided by an excellent and professional team. The Mycosomatic Magic team is clearly passionate about correct, respectful use of entheogens and equally about transformative healing. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to do a session as it was extremely positive for my personal healing. Fully recommended!!
"
"Siddiq gave excellent preparation before the session and was the perfect listener after the session. The main thing I’ve noticed now, some weeks after my session, is I have the energy/fortitude to make changes when it comes to certain habits/patterns in my life. Seems like I have been able to see these things with a different set of eyes.

"Couldn´t have asked for a better facilitator. "
"It was my first time sitting with plant medicine here at From Gaia For You. I was welcomed with a big hug from Ilse, Danilo and their friendly doggie Porchie.
I booked for the private 1:1 retreat and stayed for two nights and three days. I was really happy there was a friendly affectionate dog there, which helped make me feel safe and loved.
I did a lot of talking and sharing of my experiences, feelings and perspectives. Danilo is a great listener and he has beautiful presence to hear you out. Ilse and Danilo encourage you to trust yourself and what you think, rather than seeking the answers outside of you.
The music is very healing, both guitar by Danilo and he’s big heart to play for you and Ilse’s beautiful voice. Both offer a healing perspective from the male and female point of view.
The presence of Gaia there is also a reminder of the cycle of nature and the process we all go through as children growing up and how parenting, compassion, support, nurturing is offered to Gaia but also to ourselves as we are all learning and un-learning.
The environment is really beautiful and I love love that there is fruits and vegetables growing all around. From fresh oranges, tomatoes, lemons and limes and much more. I really enjoyed picking them and making fresh juice. It was a reminder of how Mother Nature is always providing for us to flourish. The environment ties into the name of their retreat ‘ Gaia ‘, earth goddess. And Gaia is a beautiful child, it’s a blessing to meet her and get to know her.
Ultimately I was supported with love, compassion, a listening ear, which allowed me to surrender and allow the medicine to works its magic.
The universe works in mysteries ways and I’m grateful I have got to meet Danilo, Ilse, Gaia and Porchie.
I wish them the best of luck and prosperity in their work and purpose.
Love, light and lots of laughter 🌍🧡"
"My experience at "From Gaia for You" was deeply enriching, thanks to the outstanding facilitators, Danilo and Ilse. The retreat's living conditions were exceptionally comfortable, offering a tranquil and homely atmosphere perfect for personal reflection. Danilo and Ilse stood out for their heartfelt approach to plant medicine. Their deep knowledge, combined with immense kindness and love, created a safe and nurturing environment. They were more than just facilitators; they were compassionate mentors who greatly contributed to my personal growth and healing.
"From Gaia for You" provided a transformative experience, elevated by Danilo and Ilse's nurturing presence. I highly recommend this retreat for a meaningful and personal plant medicine journey."
"The retreat was a life changing experience for me. Danilo and Ilse are amazing people, the care I have felt over the days I stayed was unbelievable. My mind is in peace , my eyes have opened and my body feels healthy. I will never forget the moments i've spend at their beautiful house and will forever be grateful for this beautiful experience. Thank you to those people i've shared this retreat with, I love you all , one by one. If you feel like you are struggling, need time away or want to experience something surreal, this is the place to go. Thank you From Gaia for you, Thank you Danilo and Ilse <3 I will be back, Aaron"
"From Gaia for you opened my eyes to the true meaning of life and love.
I felt for the first time in my life I was home, the care and support I received from Danillo and Ilse was amazing and I will forever be grateful for them both.
I will never forget my experience there and would highly recommend this retreat.
Thank you 🧘♀️❤️"
"A truly transformative experience, a beautiful space, filled with love, insight and skill. Everything exceeded my expectations, the quality of the journey, the food, the facilitators. I would definitely recommend it and will come again in the future. Thank you so much Ariana, Colin and the team!"
"The facilitators as well as the participants were all very kind and openminded people, we had good conversations and they prepared delicious food. The location is gorgeous and perfect for such a retreat. It was my first time on a mushroom trip and I felt safe and well prepared by the facilitarors. The experience was very positive and interesting and an important input for my mental health and definitely broadend my horizon. I can recommand it to everone!"
"Marijn and Femke were amazing and held a very warm and safe space for us to journey. The rooms were lovely, they actually made so many areas for us to venture off to but we were so happy and comfortable in the original spot in their home that we just remained there for most of it.
San Pedro was an amazing teacher, much softer than Aya as a teacher but the journey was so beautiful and full of wisdom that is still coming to me a month later.
i highly recommend a visit.
I will be back soon. "
"I was researching Ayahuasca retreats for a while and when I found Conscious Hub, I knew straight away, this was the retreat for me! Once I arrived, I felt very safe, love, kindness and good energy. The house is gorgeous, in a very calm and nice location with a breathtaking view. The Ayahuasca ceremonies were very powerful, amazing music and Ariana has a voice of an angel. A big Thank you to Ariana, Colin, Dean, Cellene, Sergio and Sally, you are amazing and beautiful souls. Thanks as well to Danielle for the delicious food that she cooked for us every day with so much love and passion. The connection to the group was also very special and I will treasure this powerful journey forever in my heart. I have a strong feeling that I will be back for deeper work and connection in the future. "
"From the moment I booked the retreat I sensed how deeply committed, authentic and trustworthy Danilo and Ilse are.
They take care of the people in the group, I sensed how deeply they care, how compassion and deep listening is present and they also take care of themselves!
During the ceremonies they make a very safe space, there is sharing, beautiful music which is personal, and many more things.
For me the experience was way more then I had expected and was advertised. I was welcomed so deeply in a family, accepted for how I was and trusted for being. I could feel this deeply moment to moment.
This all together created for me a perfect environment to go deeper within myself and be present with traumas and negative believes.
I have since the retreat a profound new understanding of the feeling of gratitude. And my meditations are more connected and deeper then ever.
Thank you both so much, like I said before there are no real words to describe. Hopefully meet again:-)
Goed goed.
Thank you Danilo , thank you Ilse, thank you Gaia, thank you doggy

"It was my first time doing Ayahuasca so I was quite nervous beforehand, also going as a solo female. However as soon as I got there, I was welcomed with a big hug from Danilo and ilse and was made to feel at home and safe immediately.
For the past 14 years I have been working on getting myself out of depression but had reached a block and so thought Ayahuasca might help. On the retreat I found a new level of understanding, acceptance and love of myself, even feel like I integrated my inner child. Danilo and ilse also gave me insights and pointed out things I had not identified in myself and my life, which helped immensely in my self acceptance.
I highly recommend this retreat. Danilo and Ilse were so loving and supportive, and welcome you into there beautiful home. I can't thank them enough. I will definitely be returning! "
"Before arriving I was recalling a moment when I was flying somewhere and my pen leaked all over my shirt. I realised it did not exist the way I thought it did - as my pen - but was subject to (as Buddhists say0 causes and conditions. The atmospheric pressure on the plane was different. Recalling this I realsiowd that's what it means to see nothing has an inherent existence; everything is empty of inherent identity.
Taking the mushrooms enhanced and deepened this experience - I felt more inward, more confident of just how delusional humanity is. The Heart Sutra (In Conze's translation says 'In the absence of thought-pictures he has not been made to tremble.' I often pay lip service without really taking on board the meaning - 'I' was out of my mind, but at one with everything.."
