"Over a month has now passed since I was blessed to attend this retreat in Granada. It has taken this much time to write this review because I could not find the words to do justice to this incredible experience. In fact, I don’t think I will ever find them, so these humble words will have to do.
Awakening 2.0 has been truly life changing for me. I am stunned daily by the change in the way I think and act. Where there was only negativity, there is now gratitude and positivity. Where there was total despair, there is now hope brimming over. Where there was only my mind, there is now heart as well.
Before, I couldn’t show anybody how I felt. I lived in a daily turmoil, being tormented by my own out of control mind. I felt alone and lost and out of place in the world. I had no faith, and felt like I had no future.
After just a few weeks, I don’t feel like that anymore. And the best part is, I know that my journey has barely begun - from now on, my life will just get better and better.
This incredible change is a result of the safe, warm, loving space that Jose & Bianca created for us with Luna and Ali, the incredible group of human beings who arrived to the retreat, and the natural beauty of Hidden Paradise.
If you are contemplating a spiritual retreat and your search has brought you to this page, I could not recommend more highly that you stop searching and book.
I am filled with gratitude to Jose, Bianca, Luna and Ali and everybody who attended the retreat.
I am so blessed to be part of this special community."

"One week with Bianca and Jose (Samadhi Journeys) and my whole world has changed:
The way I look at others.
The way I talk to myself.
The way others see me.
There is something wonderful about how the oriental world, the plant medicines, the care about our current society, and the indigenous culture connect through their sessions not just spiritually but mentally and physically as well.
They have wisdom and humidity, and they care and teach with gentle softness.
They build a community paying attention to all the details: choosing breathtaking locations, having delicious and healthy catering support, preparing the attendees with all the needed resources and last but not least, with their aftercare, the (re)integration is smooth and effortless after such a powerful retreat.
This week was not just about two Ayahuasca ceremonies, but we had the chance to try other tools (Rapé, Sananga, Icebath, Breathwork, Mambé, Kambo), learning about their origins and incorporating them with our intentions, meanwhile our mind (with workshops) our body (with healthy food and yoga practices) together with our spirit could arrive just in the needed time and space to build a "tribe" to be part of a community and have each other's support system along our individual journeys.
Unbelievable and absolutely above my expectations.+++"
"The Retreat was Way beyond my expectations. Bianca and Jose organised a awesome week. Perfect mix between Integration and Learning through plant medicine / breathwork / speaking to other Group members. The Food was absolutly amazing. So was the Location. So calm and the breathtaking view. They were always there for questions. I would definitly recommend the Retreat and i think i will do it again in the Future."
"Bianca and Jose hold the *ultimate* space to experience plant medicine, community and love in the fullest capacity. If you're looking for an authentic experience delivered in a safe and thorough way, this is the direction to take. Their work will lead you to your highest self, you will be guided and heard the entire way. I have the deepest respect and gratitude for what this team does, creating a soul families around the globe. "
"I have just competed a one-week retreat in Granada, and the experience is life changing. This comes down to the prepration, care and masterful delivery of everything extraordinary, by Bianca Kempe and Jose Reynoso. Signing up for a retreat like this means the individuals are at crossroads, looking for a shift in their life - meaning we were all somewhat stressful and nervous about what is coming. Thanks to the unbeliveable professionalism of Bianca and Jose, we all felt in the best possible hands and could not have imagined such a complete, wholesome experience if it wasn't for them. Their spirit seeped through every little detail of the reatreat - making it one that was perfectly assembled, orchestrated and delivered. Looking forward to our next one. All the blessings to both wonderful humans."

"I truly appreciated and enjoyed Trishna mini yoga retreat. I have hoped for many years that West Marin could offer affordable wellness classes to our local community. I’m a wellness professional and on my salary having a wellness class can be challenging to fit into my budget.
Trishna is a wonderful, kind instructor and has a depth of knowledge that many younger instructors have not acquired yet. "
"Wow... it's hard to come up with words to describe the amazing time we had with Jose & Bianca. I've been to different retreats, but this was something different. The way Jose & Bianca care about each and every participant in the retreat is beautiful to see; after spending just a couple of hours with them I had immense trust in them, and I knew we were in the right hands. The retreat was not just 'a retreat', it was something beyond this world, literally haha. We had the most amazing time and created new memories that'll be with us forever.
I can say with complete confidence, that I'm a different person than I was before meeting Jose & Bianca. It's been a couple weeks since the retreat and I'm noticing how I'm making different 'n better decisions and feel more energized and happier. If you're considering to join one of the retreats, I would say stop thinking and go for it. You won't regret it.
Jose, - Bianca, - thank you for everything you do!

"I had the opportunity to attend this retreat organized by Jose and Bianca, and what I can say! Just wooow! The best 5 days in my life.
In this magical retreat, love and care manifests in every activity organized. The wisdom and knowledge of J&B gave me the necessary tools that I needed to fulfill my dreams and have the life that I want.
The medicines are provided with great respect to ancestral tradition and you really feel the spirits welcoming in every contact with them.
The retreat was full of surprises: from the delicious food to the epic activities, to the music, small talks and fun that we had together. Everything looked like a perfect dream full of love.
Jose & Bianca, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this experience.
I am really happy to see beautiful souls like you making this earth a better place.
And for everyone who want to experience the full potential of his life: trust the process and enjoy the life and care of the universe with Bianca and Jose."
"Very peaceful and comfortable retreat, loved being here. Jose and Biance know what they are doing ,everyone had their best care taken care of while on the medicine or off it. Will never forget this place , met wonderful people and had very insightful experiences.
Also had more than my money's worth and that for me is a big win.
Thank you once again"
"Bianca is a Beautiful Soul with the ability to calm fears in anybody. The welcome hug I have received from her brought me to tears. During my 3 days with Bianca and Jose, I had wonderful Universe exploration. I was anxious and nervous before smoking Bufo but I felt very comfortable with these beings. They are very genuine with what they do and I am glad I found their place. I am looking forward to doing it again with them. I had an absolutely loving time and I have learn a lot from them. Love you both and thank you!"
"I love how Trishna turns reclaiming my yoga practice into a discovery of not only of myself and my edges, But also I discovery of a way of life and a living culture. There were just the right amount of tours in which we never felt like tourists: herb walk with lunch from a working farm, olive oil tasting at another working farm, greek dance lessons, hiking, swimming in the buoyant costal waters. Beautiful lodging. I can not over state the sense of rarity the opportunity held. Both my daughter and I want to do it again."
"Trishna offered vast insight to a yoga practitioner of any level.
Trishna's knowledge and grasp of yoga is deep and profound. The culmination of years of inquiry.
If Trishna was my daughter I would be very proud of her.
It's was an honor to revel in all the jewels that she has integrated.
Trishna shares her extensive and ecclectic teachings with Grace and skill."

"Describir en unas líneas las experiencias vividas con Josito y Bianca en cualquiera de sus retiros se me hace muy difícil. Me siento muy afortunada de haber tenido la suerte de que, personas tan maravillosas como ellos se hayan cruzado en mi camino y hayan sido capaces de cambiarme la vida. Solo quiero dar gracias infinitas a esta maravillosa pareja que dedica su vida a transmitir la verdad y el amor para que esta sociedad en la que vivimos sea capaz de quitarse la venda de los ojos que nos ponen nada más nacer. Superar miedos, experiencias dramáticas, traumas, insatisfacción, ansiedades.. Lo que en occidente es la realidad de mas personas de las que uno pueda imaginar. Josito y Bianca te abren las puertas a un camino de vida que consigue que uno mismo sea capaz de superarlo prácticamente todo. Dándole un sentido a tu vida en la que cada mañana te despiertas dando gracias por el regalo tan maravilloso que es “simplemente” existir y respirar. Pero ellos te enseñan y te van guiando en tu proceso para que realmente empieces a disfrutar de cada instante en presencia, sanando cuerpo y alma a niveles muy profundos. Dando gracias cada día por estar en este mundo, con todo lo bueno y lo malo, y viviendo una vida plena siendo de verdad autentico y fiel al espíritu verdadero de uno mismo. Pasando solo unos momentos con ellos, ya son capaces de transmitir una belleza y sabiduría interior que está muy fuera de nuestro alcance en nuestra vida cotidiana. Tengo la suerte de haber visto el cambio y formación de mi amigo y hermano Josito desde hace años, y cada vez que le veo siempre me vuelve a sorprender con continuas técnicas para mejorar tu vida. Lo transmite de una manera casi innata. Por supuesto, y como no podía ser de otra manera, ha elegido compartir su vida con una de las mujeres mas especiales y amorosas que he conocido, Bianca. Cada uno te aporta cosas tan mágicas, y herramientas tan potentes para llevar a tu día a día que consiguen dar un giro a la vida de toda aquella persona que tiene la suerte de compartir tiempo con ellos. Son muy profesionales y sobretodo saben muy bien lo que hacen y cómo hacerlo. Seguiré asistiendo a sus retiros las maximas veces q pueda, es de las mejores cosas que he podido hacer en mi vida. AHO"
"I love Trishna's approach to yoga. It's an immersive experience. She starts out the first hour with very gentle meditation and movement, working up to an active Vinyasa that really warms up the body. The second hour is dedicated to deep Asana practice, which develops inner strength. She often ends the two-hour session with a meaningful Sanskrit chant. Trishna's voice is soothing and encouraging. Her guidance helps me get stronger - while never feeling the need to push myself into places of discomfort. The pace of each class is just right. Trishna clearly thinks about muscle groups that she will focus on in any given session and makes absolutely sure that we warm up properly before doing the deep stretches. It's a pleasure to participate in yoga practice with Trishna."
"As a dedicated practitioner of the Dharma of eastern language and method, Trishna brings a wealth of experience into her teaching that makes access available to the immediate fruits of practice. She has the wisdom to allow for the limitations of the body while encouraging that her students explore their own thresholds and tendencies. Practicing with Trishna is always a whole body, speech, and mind reflection that reveals the inner yoga and source of strength and wisdom in the body. She is highly qualified to teach to a beginner and an advanced student with the humility to reveal how yoga belongs to the participant and is not about competition or endurance - but ones inner relationship with who and how they are in life. I always highly recommend her and would not trust the depth of my practice with anyone who lacked her uncommon dedication to her students."
"I met Bianca at the end of a one year trip around South East Asia. While I thought at the time that I had already learned so much from this experience, Bianca surely taught me the last lesson I needed to, from what I believed, complete this personal journey. She helped me understand something that for a bunch of different reasons I had missed out; my journey was actually far away from being completed, it had just begun! During her classes as well as our conversations, she created a safe inspiring space and energy that changed my days and perspective. Bianca has such a calm, understanding and compassionate presence and this comes through in her teaching. She is one of these inspiring and generous people who make you understand the challenge of self-fulfillment, the importance of being master of your own choices and life, but also the importance of sharing with others. After we met, all my concerns about “going home” had vanished; this travelling experience was not a once in a lifetime thing before getting back to my routine, it had rather helped me find the right direction to pursue my personal journey. I truly believe that people are meant to cross our path for a reason, and Bianca was there to help me develop my own self in a more colorful way which is probably the greatest gift people can give to one another."
