Find Authentic Retreats in Cundinamarca Colombia

"This was my first time at a retreat. It was so amazing! The location was perfect: beautiful mountains, olive and orange trees, no neighbors, quiet and peaceful. The house also was gorgeous. Beautifully renovated inside. The two retreat leaders, Emma and Gloria, are such amazing women. Absolutely 100% genuine, kind, trust-worthy, made me feel safe, hard- working and full of wisdom. The food was so beautiful and delicious. It was nutritious, creative and filling. I loved the herbal teas too. The trip itself was life-changing. It was my first time trying psylocibin and it was very revealing. Many things in your subconscious will become clear and truths will be uncovered. The space where Emma and Gloria have us during the trip is comfortable, with music, eye masks and blankets. They both are around to help guide and make sure we’re safe. I can’t recommend this experience enough. I plan on coming back. "

"The retreat is in a quiet location in the hills which is very peaceful with lovely views. Emma and Gloria were very welcoming and supportive and provide a safe environment for the ceremony. I liked that what they have learnt from their time in Columbia is brought to the ceremony which makes it more special. The group was a mixture of ages and and people from different countries but it just worked lots of laughing not to mention great food."

"Emma and Gloria truly care about all of the group members and it shows They created this wonderful atmosphere in a warm and welcoming home for our group. They made us feel comfortable in our vulnerability which allowed us to be truly free to express ourselves. We became a little family. The ceremony and it's benefits are revealed to me slowly, I have only returned a week ago so the full effects of the experience are still coming through. With normal holidays you feel "back to normal" almost immediately after your return but with this retreat I feel rested and revived, excited for what the future holds. Again a huge thank you to Gloria and Emma for this magical space that I will forever hold dear in my heart."

"I recently attended a 5 day retreat at Eco Maset. We were all warmly welcomed on arrival and shown to our rooms. I shared a room with one other guest which was perfect. Although not keen on bunk beds, it was a small thing given how enjoyable the whole experience was. The activities were well thought out with free time factored in and no pressure to take part in everything. The house was very comfortable and the bathrooms excellent with plenty of hot water. The food was plant based and tasted incredible too. Colourful and beautifully presented. The time went far too quickly! All in all I enjoyed this experience and am looking forward to going again at some point. Thank you to Gloria, Emma and Carolina for their exceptional attention at all times. ❤️❤️❤️"

"Everything exceeded my expectations: the location, the food, the warmth of Gloria and Emma, the workshops, ... This is how life should be: late night talks and singing together at the fireplace. The psychadelic ceremony was magical and I feelt truly relaxed for the first time after years of batteling severe anxiety. I recommend it if you want to get to know yourself better and spend time with wonderful humans. "

"I recommend this retreat to anyone who is interested in trying these medicines in a safe and non-judgemental environment. I had a call with Emma and Gloria before the retreat and they were very patient in answering any questions I had. They both have an extremely calming and warm presence and are very knowledgeable in their fields. During the ceremony they were exceptionally responsive and in tune with what everybody needed in that moment and I was very impressed and appreciative of them. The retreat itself attracted interesting women who were also drawn to reflection, self-improvement and vulnerability. I found it very rewarding to meet other people who were interested in experiencing transformative changes in their lives and felt like we had a lot of meaningful conversations. Thank you Emma and Gloria for a wonderful retreat and for all the work you do!"

"In all my years I've NEVER experienced anything quite like this retreat... From the time I reached out to Gloria & Emma I was met with such kindness and every question I had was responded to super quick! I was nervous as I didn't know what to expect and I am still trying to put words to what has been a life-changing experience... My life imploded last year due to a cancer diagnosis and I was looking for something to help me heal from the terror and extreme anxieties that I experienced during my treatment. I have found that and so much more... This retreat was like pressing a 'reset' button, I feel an inner strength and calmness that I haven't experienced in a very long time (if ever..!).. I feel I also need to mention the space that is created by Gloria, Emma and Almu as I've never experienced such a sacred space that was always filled with kindness, compassion, dignity and respect. The food was an experience in itself, always made with love and so, so tasty (thank you Almu & Sonnica!)! These are all very special women who have created something so sacred and I feel blessed to have met each and everyone of them and to have had this life -changing experience. "

"I attended a women's only retreat with Gloria last year and that was one of the most revelatory and transformative experience of my life. So I couldn't miss the opportunity to continue this journey, which to me is all about self care, self discovery, and reconnection with my true self. Gloria, Emma, Almu... They are extraordinary women, each of them with a special "superpower", devoted to be in service of other women, that made me feel seen, listened to, supported in every step of the journey. They were able to create a safe space for self expression, exploration and integration, also in hectic moments when the medicines "did their work" and, coupled with the singing and the music, helped old memories, pain and strong emotions to come to the surface and be released. Not only that, the retreat had light and fun moments that made the experience overall relaxing, a moment of true care and sharing. A special note on the food and the location: pure bliss, both were nurturing for the body and the soul. This is a rare opportunity to return to "divine feminine", to clearly perceive its healing power with the caring and compassionate energy of other beautiful sisters."

"This was my first experience with these kind of medicine and I'm soo grateful I could experience it. Gloria and Emma were wonderful and loving and kind in every second. I'm still overwhelmed by the positive impact this ceremony has on my life. I feel so connected to the nature and I can feel true love for myself, my parents and my friends. I felt 100% safe before, during and after the ceremony. Gloria and Emma created a beautiful setting including a playlist, singing, drums and they cooked a lovely dinner. The ceremony itself was full of laughter, tears and freedom for me. But also really exhausting. I had to take it slowly a few days after. Integration is so important and I recommend on having enough time and space after the ceremony. Thank you for everything you two ❤️❤️❤️"

"I am a beginner when it comes to psychedelics and was nervous when arriving to the retreat, but Emma and Gloria quickly made me feel comfortable and safe. They both have a wonderful energy and deep knowledge of the field, which is rooted in Gloria's indigenous origins. They complement each other in what they bring to the experience, and I felt cared for and able to push myself thanks to them. Every detail has been carefully thought of and designed, starting with how they grow the mushrooms with love and care, all the way to the setting of the experience, the home-cooked meal that they offer, the delicious fruits and tea, the pick-up and drop-off, the hotel recommendation, etc. I also absolutely loved the music that Gloria played, which definitely contributed hugely to the experience. They are driven by a desire to help others and have made a real difference for me; I hope they will continue in their mission and impact many more lives. Thank you, Emma and Gloria!"

"I was waiting for this kind of retreat for 3 years and I made my choice, when I met Gloria and Emma. I felt immediate connection and unlimited TRUST. The event did exceed my expectations in all dimensions. I felt welcomed and safe to express myself 6 go through some important inner processes. The EXPERIENCE has changed my perception of the " reality" making me feel more connected, confident and calm. I reconfirm all these benefits eve now, two weeks after the retreat. It's also impossible not to mention the Chef, Cat, that has pampered us with delicious healthy food and drinks to DETOX our minds and bodies. Our host, Lucia, the sweetest person I have ever met, offered us her organic cosmetics to try and Im definitely sending her a big order to supply my clients. The environment inside and outside the house, the dogs, frogs, bitds, mountains, pine trees and walks in woods, made me feel like in Earthly Paradise! Thank you for the life changing experience. Hopefully see you next year! Lots of love, Izabela"

"Emma is one of the most loving and smiling women I have ever met. I had the pleasure of attending her retreat where, with her loving and responsible nature, she guided me to find my true self. Emma carries herself in a way that is deeply inspiring for any woman and her presence makes you instantly feel loved and seen. If you get the chance to attend a retreat with Emma, don't hesitate to take it :)"

"I lived off Catarina's food for five days, and already after 2-3 days, I experienced an insane energy in my body and an incredible surplus that I haven't felt in a long time. Her food tastes fantastic and makes a big difference to the body and mind. She made me appreciate food and the nature in a hole new way. Besides inspiring me to eat differently, she also gave me a lot of love and wise words to carry with me on my journey. Catarina is a powerful woman with plenty of love for her surroundings. "

"Gloria is showing the way of being full of love to herself and her surroundings and at the same time being incredible powerful. I spend five days at her retreat where she guided me to find my inner power and love. I trust Gloria completely and are amazed by her <3 "

"This retreat overcame all expectations. I arrived stressed out and had the feeling of being “stuck” in my life. Doing the retreat my energy got high, felt a lot of love and got reconnected to my body, soul and mind. All activities made sense, were well planned and enjoyable. The place were amazing and all the tension in my body disappeared within the first hour. I am now back home feeling motivated at work, taking care of myself and know more about my path. I can not express how much I appreciate these amazing women and I actually love them. I recommend this retreat to everyone! "

"Emma and Gloria guided me through my first experience with psychedelics and went above and beyond to make me feel safe and supported through the whole process. They are both incredibly kind, empathetic and patient people and they have such a calming presence. I couldn't have asked for better people to be with me during the experience and also the day after, to help me process and start to integrate what had happened. Thanks to Emma and Gloria I have been able to take the insights I gained and bring them back to my day to day life. I can't recommend them highly enough. To sum up, there were amazing dishes by Catarina crafted out of carefully selected ingredients, all made with so much love and care. I can only say thank you!"

"Gloria and Emma are both incredibly kind-hearted people with an admirable mission to help others. I felt safe and genuinely cared for during my retreat, which allowed me to embrace the experience and get outside my comfort zone without fear. Together, they bring expertise from psychology, pharmacology and traditional indigenous medicine, and they use this rare wisdom to help others overcome their personal challenges. I feel grateful and lucky to have met them both. Plus, the place was truly amazing!"

"I attended a retreat led by Gloria and Emma, and it was a truly transformative experience. Their warmth, wisdom, and guidance created an atmosphere of trust, love, and understanding that allowed us to explore our inner selves without fear or judgment. Gloria and Emma demonstrated genuine passion for helping others on their personal journeys. They offered insightful teachings and powerful group sessions that led to profound self-discovery. I am eternally grateful for their dedication and unwavering support. I wholeheartedly recommend their retreats to anyone seeking inner peace and self-discovery. Under Gloria and Emma's guidance, you will experience a transformative adventure that leaves a lasting impact on your soul. Also, I was completely impressed by Catarina and her innovative approach to cooking. Her passion for culinary art is evident and shines through in every dish she prepares. It is remarkable that she is not only an incredibly talented chef but also genuinely cares about the health and well-being of the guests."

"Thank you Catarina, your food was a wonderful soul treat. I am impressed by her journey and the way she uses the knowledge she has gained over the years to create high-quality, delicious, and healthy dishes."

"Emma, you always made me feel safe and secure that you were there for me. I can't thank you enough for all that you did for me."

"Gloria, you have an incredible background and so much knowledge in the field. You are truly a medicine woman."

"Tome uno de lao talleres con de sicodelicos, dónde tuve el placer de ser guiada y cuidada por Gloria y Emma y les puedo decir que fue una experiencia maravillosa donde sentí la sanidad de la naturaleza y el amor se mujeres llenas de amor y magia, Les puedo garantizar que si su corazón está dispuesto y accionan su sanación está se dará y si pueden experimentarlo con ellas será aún mejor. Agradecida con el universo por mujeres poderosas que quieren servir a otras mujeres desde su luz, entendiendo que estamos aquí para seguir sanando y tejiendo entre nosotras."

"Gloria and Emma guided me in my very first psychedelic retreat in Spain. This was a life changing experience over a weekend women only psylocibin retreat. They looked after me extremely well. Being in a rather vulnerable emotional state for a number of reasons, I decided to book into for a women only retreat. I was attracted by the holistic approach advertised. I was also very impressed with my interactions with Gloria prior to travelling to Alicante. Knowing that I had never taken psychedelics before, she understood my concerns and reasons for going on the retreat. At all times I felt extremely cared for and well supported. During the entirety of the weekend, Emma and Gloria worked tirelessly that we were comfortable, relaxed and looked after, particularly during the mushroom ceremony. They ensured we were all safe, fed, hydrated, physically and emotionally supported. They were both focused on ensuring that all participants were fully supported before, during and after the ceremony. Emma and Gloria treated each and everyone of us as individuals, catering for our personal and specific needs. My experience was very intense. Parts of it could be characterised as a ‘bad trip’, crying my eyes out for hours. Gloria and Emma fully briefed me about this possibility, coaching me not to resist and embrace whatever the medicine presented to me. When they saw me in distress, they came to my aid, showering me with generosity, understanding and compassion. By the end of the session I was completely overwhelmed with gratitude, finally understanding the claim that a psychedelic experience was worth 100 hours of conventional therapy. Prior the retreat I did not believe it. Having gone through this experience I can confirm this is absolutely true. The day after the ceremony we had a much needed series of integration sessions. My personal integration process goes on afterwards. The retreat did not fix my issues but provided me with an invaluable road map that continues to guide me. This is the most important part of this journey. It is a real shame that psychedelics are still criminalised in the UK. As demonstrated by Gloria and Emma, properly used, they are extremely healing and therapeutic. As a solicitor and owner of a law firm I cannot do psychedelics in the UK as I would be breaking the law. I would risk my career and livelihood. Fortunately I can always attend one of the excellent retreats organised by Gloria and Emma. Very highly recommended."

"I have visited this retreat on 2 occasions and both times, I felt extremely comfortable and was made to feel welcome from the beautiful finca and amazing surroundings which make you feel in a special place, as well as the warm care and attention from Doña Martha, Maria and all the family (including the wonderful pet dogs). In both occasions, I had an incredibly powerful healing experience, completely different to what I expected and I left feeling healed and invigorated, in an awakening albeit challenging process during the “journey”. Afterwards there was a time for group and individual reflection where you are completely free to choose how you participate, whether you chat with other people or have some time alone. Through the entire time I felt supported and in safe hands and if you are considering a Yajé experience, I could not recommend enough the retreat with Doña Martha and Maria as a positive and life changing experience."

"Hello beautiful soul searcher...search no more you have found it. Trying to be to the point: * best possible ayahuasca retreat. Strong and pure brew, very experienced sjamans. * safest place possible. It’s a place of love, personal guidance the entire time, 2 sjamans + support all for only a small group up to max 6 people. * a lot of personal additional guidance and tools for healing and insights. A beautiful place and a big present for yourself to keep with you all life long, even without the ceremonies. About the experience itself: think “life changing” , “best personal investment” , “incredible healing that lasts”, “eye opening” , “ amazingly interesting”, “in a few days learn more about yourself and life than you probably learned so far in an entire life”. Something like that... I believe everyone’s experience and motivation is different, and though I would truly recommend anyone to do this, I won’t “advertise” it. But if you do feel attracted to it, or interested or want to give it a try even when having doubts: then this place is simply one of the few very best places to it. Well, you’ve already found this website...search no more dear, this is it. Pieter (Belgium, 38 years old, medical background and profession, no-nonsense)"

"This place feels like home! Martha, María and Carolina do their best to make you feel safe, welcomed and loved. I feel so lucky to have it so close to my city."

"Doña Martha, Carolina and Maria are the most loving, wise, joyful and powerful medicine women. The moment you enter their family property, you can feel that this is a space of healing, love and light. They welcomed us into their family with genuine love and provided individualized care the whole time we were there. Our ceremonies involved various plant medicines and rituals that worked harmoniously to provide a profound healing experience that touched me on many levels. Participanting in ceremony during the day and being free to connect with mother nature in their magical garden infused my journeys with light even when I was confronted with struggles. This experience has changed my life in the most beautiful and profound ways. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you! Gracias! Thank you! Gracias!"

"Rather than writing an entire novel about my experience, I'm going to do my best to keep it short, and simple. I was under the impression that I was going to fly to Colombia, take some medicine that was supposively magical, trip out in the garden, and hope for the best. I had no idea I was walking into the gates of heaven. Something about this place makes the hairs on my arm go up. Every single one of my retreat partners felt the same way. Martha and her daughters are no joke, they are there 100% for you, and will fight/work with you every day. This healing center is for those who want to work, and change their life's. If you come into this with an open mind, and follow exactly what they instruct you to do, you will be a changed person - forever. I not only broke every single addiction I had, but I reunited with my mother, and have absolutely no resentment, or grudges towards anyone. Since I got back home from this retreat, it's been one miracle/blessing after another. These facilitators made sure that when I left the healing center, I was ready to go back into the "real world" with enough strength, confidence, and clarity for whatever comes my way. I'm putting together a short film about Ayahuasca, and Martha's healing center, and posting it on social media, making this a tribute to this center. It took no more than 1 short video clip - talking about my experience here - to convince my mother to come back with me next year. Everyone that I've been talking to has told me that I don't look the same, sound the same, and that they cannot believe what this place has done to me. I will never forget what the medicine, and staff did for me. I owe everything to this beautiful family, and the medicine of course."

"I am so very grateful to have met Marta and Carolina. The 3 ceremonies my wife and I participated in were amazing and insightful and beautiful and seem to have left me much more peaceful, aware, and even-keeled. I feel like I've just pushed out a giant load of nonsense from my mind that had been a sneaky guest for years. The experience certainly became intense and challenging at times and it meant so much and felt so safe to have these two wise and caring women watching over us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They both definitely tuned in and walked with us through difficult terrain, psychically and physically. Their home and farm are a living, breathing work of art, it flows beautifully down the lush jungle hillside. The sound of birds, insects, frogs, their animals, and a flowing river permeate the place in a way that sets a tempo and sticks in your head. The sound of rain on that tin roof during the ceremonies... intense! The whole setting, which is a especially separate section of the property, is a tremendous benefit. Every corner is a safe and beautiful place to do work with the plant medicine."

"I feel that the term "life changing" gets over used a lot in the self development & healing worlds, so I don't often use it. With that in mind, my Time with Donna Marta and Maria and their beautiful family was absolutely life changing. I asked a friend who had been there before when I was booking and he said he's never felt so safe and looked after anywhere and he was absolutely spot on. We were made so incredibly welcome by everyone and felt like part of the family from the minute we walked in - such beautiful, kind people. The whole experience was just magical from beginning to the end. The ceremonies were so incredibly deep, powerful, insightful and scary at times. But even when they were scary - the love and support I was given was a amazing gift and enabled me to go so deep into the stuff that was holding me back in life. I went on the retreat 5 months ago and purposely left my review for a while to see the difference it has made and all I can say is that the World looks and feels like a completely different place to what it did back in August. For the first time in my life I feel free to be a full expression of who I am. As far as I'm concerned, Donna Marta, Maria and family are now my Columbian family - thank you so much guys - I love you dearly and I can't wait to see you all again. It goes without saying that they have my highest recommendation - they are off the charts awesome <3 xxx"
