Experiences on Retreat
"I feel incredibly privileged to have been able to experience this wonderful healing retreat at From Gaia for You. Danilo and Ilse are very kind and welcoming, and I immediately felt comfortable, safe, and at ease. This allowed me to fully open up my mind, body, and soul for the healing work. We spent time reflecting on our feelings and lives to create awareness and set intentions for the restorative activities. The others on the retreat also helped to make it a beautiful experience and I felt very connected to everyone. I feel like I have finally been able to release negativity from past experiences which have been weighing on me for most of my life, and every cell within me has been healed. I am mindfully integrating my experience into my life at home. I can say with certainty that I will come back. Thank you, I'm eternally grateful 🙏🌟🌕☀"
"What a blessing to be welcomed into the home, and hearts, of Danilo and Ilse for this transformative journey. Their gentle and intuitive guidance led us on a journey of deep introspection, allowing us to meet our truest selves with compassion and wisdom. Through soul-nourishing practices and shared moments of vulnerability, I left feeling transformed, connected, and infinitely grateful 🙏🌈💖🌿."
"I really like the retreat, Danilo and Ilse are super nice and lovely persons who really care about the comfort and integration of us, we had so beautiful and positive music all the time, the most delicious food and lovely company, they make sure everything is nice and comfortable to experience this process, I felt in trust and happy to share this experience with such a nice people! I’ll definitely come back. "
"Danilo and Ilse have created a beautiful place here and you can feel with every fiber that they love what they are doing. They create an environment of deep trust which is essential to go deep. They create an environment of love which is essential to open your heart and let the healing begin. The rest is really up to you.
The newly created dome is another highlight, and I will forever look fondly back on the Ayahuasca night sessions we had in there and the angelic singing of Isle - big fan here: please let me know once I can hear you on Spotify ;)
I also start to miss the excellent food Ilse prepares and I might go back just for that (:
All in all, these 4 days were nothing but magical to me and I give the experience a 10/10."
"Love, trust, and peace—these are the three words I would share if someone asked me what I gained from this retreat. Yet, it’s so much more complex to put into words what Ilse and Danilo create for their clients.
I'm writing this review about two weeks after my retreat, allowing time for everything to settle. While I am still the same person, I feel changed inside—more connected to parts of myself that had always felt distant. A light within me, long kept in darkness, has finally been ignited. The retreat, with its warm and understanding people, along with the medicine, was the spark that kindled my inner flame, which has never burned so brightly.
I am deeply grateful for what I received.
When love touches you, it never truly leaves. It radiates within, and you just have to let it bloom."
"Malwina was a warm, reassuring, and experienced guide, providing really gentle and effective support during difficult parts of my trip, and the space was private and comfortable and easy to be in as we slowly re-emerged back into the world after our trip. She has been helpful before and after our trip as well, checking in and answering questions and providing resources on integration. Highly recommend!"

I feel like a new human beeing and I’m so grateful that I took the step to do this wonderful expierience, thank you Ilse and Danilo and of course Gaia 🫶 a place of love and acceptance ☯️🫶"
"It's been a month since my retreat with Danilo and Ilse to see the lasting affects of my retreat, and I will confidently say I feel like a completely different person in the most positive way possible.
My anxiety has disappeared, rekindled my relationship with my parents who I haven't spoken to in years, being an honest person and accepting myself just for who I am, and it's been an amazing life transformation from the lessons I've learnt from this retreat.
None of this would have been possible if not for Danilo, Ilse and Yip's love and guidance to us, set up in the most awesome home in a safe environment so we can do the work that's needed to the fullest.
This experience felt like a second birth to me, and am forever grateful for Danilo, Ilse, Gaia, Yip for the support.
Anicca 🙏

"The retreat can be difficult at times but very rewarding. From the purging through to the medicine, it's exactly what I needed to reset, overcome the issues I had and start a new chapter of my life. I would recommend it to anyone.
To Danilo and Ilse, you have a lovely home, beautiful family and I'm so grateful for letting me take part in this experience.

"From stunning music, to laughter, to singing, to integration, to beautiful food and an absolute love for life - this retreat is an absolute must for those needing some soul searching, healing, support, therapy, warmth and/or complete self acceptance.
What a journey. What an experience. Everyone owes this retreat to themselves, to ultimately find themselves. Make the effort and go - you will treasure it forever!
Thank you Danilo and family.
Love from 🏴 Linds 🏴 xxx"
"Shortly: amazing experience.
The house, location, Danilo's and Ilse's hosting, music, food, everything.
Everything that I have always known deep inside was taken up to the surface and is now going to be my "new normal". Incredible reconnection with nature, human thoughts, cleansing of bad thoughts, resentment, old traumas, etc.
I will highly recommend my closest friends to visit Gaia. See you there somewhere in 2025."
"My experience is one of entering a loving family environment which facilitated our healing journey with all the tools and requirements for a simply awesome experience on all levels.
The overall ambience is relaxed, the medicines are both provoking and soothing and each stage runs with a natural fluidity that enters seamlessly into the next event.
At each step of our five day stay I felt accepted, guided, encouraged, supported and above all else loved......in fact, there is so much love here that your perception WILL shift...............Love, Love, Love!
Shaman Danilo - thank you brother for sharing your love & wisdom and for guiding an old soul!
Mother Ilse - thank you for sharing your heart & angelic voice and for bathing us in your songs of love!

Porchie - Dude, you are such an awesome boy!

"Attending the 4-day Holistic Integrative Ayahuasca Retreat in Málaga was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, Ilse, Danilo, Gaia, Jip and Porchi made me feel completely safe, supported, and seen. Their warmth and care were deeply touching, and it was clear that they held the space with profound respect for the sacred medicines and for each of us on our personal journeys.
The combination of ayahuasca, Kambo, San Pedro, Bufo, and shamanic breathwork created a truly holistic healing environment. Each ceremony brought me deeper into connection with myself, revealing layers of emotions and insights that I had long buried. There were moments of intense challenge, but the guidance and wisdom of the facilitators helped me to navigate those difficult spaces with trust and surrender. Somehow they always knew when I needed them the most during my ceremonies!
One of the most beautiful aspects was the small group setting. It allowed for an intimate and personal experience, where we could all share our stories, hold space for each other, and form meaningful connections. By the end of the retreat, it felt like we had become a family, bonded by the powerful healing we had undergone together.
I left the retreat feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a profound sense of gratitude for the journey I had been on. It’s hard to put into words the depth of transformation I experienced, but I can say with certainty that this retreat has changed my life in many ways. I am endlessly thankful to Ilse, Danilo, Gaia, Jip and Porchi for their care, wisdom, and the love they poured into every moment. If you are seeking deep healing and reconnection, this retreat is truly a gift.
And not to forget: the premises including the huge garden with the fresh produce - priceless.

"Having wrapped up a 4 day retreat I'm grateful to Gaia for you, for facilitating a wonderful journey with plant medicine.
They offer an intimate environment, with a small group of retreat members that allows them to be there for you in a way that would be difficult to achieve in larger groups. I felt their loving presence but at the same time they challenged me and gave me the encouragement that I needed to go deep in my core and access parts of myself that I had buried deep.
Im grateful for the opportunity to try the expansive range of plant medicines they offered and felt like each medicine was a crucial piece of the puzzle in my healing journey.
Thank you Danilo for the encouragement at the right moments to allow me to go deeper than the surface.
Thank you Ilse for your beautiful voice, your loving presence and for preparing the great meals.
Thank you Ip for your presence in the ceremonies and bringing a good energy to the retreat.
Thank you Gaia for being so wholesome and bringing a smile to my face.
Thank you Porchie for lighting up the room and lifting our spirits."
"I can highly recommend this retreat facilitated by Danilo and Ilse. They offer a lovely, clean, homely property for the 3 night retreat surrounded by nature with healthy food for the stay (including amazing fresh produce grown on the surrounding land). They offered great support during the retreat whilst allowing everyone to work through things independently, both within the ceremonies and afterwards. I always felt safe and secure even though I had some challenging times during some of the ceremonies.
Being a first timer to plant medicine, I was a little nervous but the guidance and support offered throughout was great. Danilo and Ilse were supported by their great assistant Yip, their emotionally and spiritually advanced dog Porchi and their beautiful daughter Gaia. All legends.
If you have been thinking about booking, DO IT. It is a great experience."
"Our experience was beautiful, all of it. Thanks to the most amazing family we've ever met. Thank you, we miss you."
"This experience was without doubt the most profound of my life. The setting was perfect and the hosts are friendly and professional. The animals and the geodome makes you feel at one with nature. I would recommend this retreat to anyone. I cannot think of a way to improve upon it.
It is an something that everyone should experience at least once in there lifetime."
"There are no words that can describe this magical experience.
From start to finish,Dominika and her family made me feel so welcome in this serene,beautiful location.
The food and company were exceptional.
The experience itself was such a wondeful experience.
I can not thank you both enough for this 5* experience.
I whole heartedly recommended this retreat above others.
It was a very personal,tailored journey.
Thankyou❤"
"I want to express my deepest gratitude to Danilo and his wonderful family for making this a truly transformational experience.
This retreat far exceeded my expectations. The love and care they pour into every moment is truly contagious— it felt special being there.
Danilo’s wisdom and deep connection shine through in everything he does. He takes the time to guide and support you on your journey, offering insights that lead to profound reflection. He stayed with us every step of the way and ensured we felt safe and secure.
Ilse was amazing, her warmth and kindness filling every space she enters. Her gentle presence invites trust and openness, and her beautiful voice during the ceremony was something I cherished deeply as well as her nourishing meals ❤️
The retreat itself was pure perfection—there’s absolutely nothing I would change. Being there felt like stepping into another world and it was a breakthrough on my own journey.
Yip was also incredible—he supported Danilo and Ilse throughout the 4 days and also offered support and was a joy to be around.
Having their lovely daughter, Gaia, around brought a grounding feeling to the whole 4 days, it was joyous to be around.
Porchi the dog was pure love. It was another element that was unexpectedly calming and relaxing.
Words can’t fully express how much I loved my time with them. They made something that was deeply personal into a shared journey where they were able to connect and guide me through.
I am extremely grateful 🙏
Thank you all SO MUCH 💖"
"Elena invested time to connect with me beforehand. Then when we met in person, she said: “There’s no judgement.” This meant that my wild, wonderful & weird ‘trip’ could occur with a sense of freedom. She was nearby when needed and also away for some privacy. During my return to reality, she showed a lot of support and guided me through, until I safely reached my hotel. Thanks for your kindness"
"I was in safe hands early on, from the information on their website, the consultation before booking, the educational reading material provided after booking and further communication over the phone. I felt confident that I was dealing with an experienced team who knew what they were doing, which translated to the retreat day itself; where I ingested the mushrooms to begin my first ever psychedelic journey. I experienced both bliss and challenges during the ‘trip’, yet I was escorted back to my hotel safely. I was then able to make it home later with further aftercare and support from the team. Thank you"
"Very nice family, good hospitality felt like one of them. However the only issue was that the dosage was super high for the purpose of medication. "
"My experience with Mycosomatic started with my initial contact with Siddiq who gave me all the information I needed and was very friendly / helpful in organising the travel logistics for the session too including a taxi from the airport etc. I was then introduced to my session facilitator / guide Elena who I was in contact with prior to travelling and upon arrival. I found her to be a very supportive, professional and caring person who guided me through the session by letting me know what to expect prior to it and being intuitive/responsive to what I was processing during it.
I can definitely recommend Mycosomatic 👍 "
"This revealed so much about who I really am. Indescribable. And just the right doesage for a first timer, I felt at ease. Elena was so patient with me, allowed to do it in a slightly different way. She was open to try different things which led to so much to be shown to me. I am looking to have another experience with them because I feel I have more to process. "
"Anton, Dominika & their daughter Zaria are some of the kindest, coolest people I have ever come across. Their warm & inviting home makes you feel safe & comfortable. & the home cooking is incredible!! They truly make you feel a part of the family. The retreat itself was exactly what I needed. The space was calming & safe, I felt comfortable to take my experience to the fullest. The stars here were the most amazing I have ever seen. Overall, I am so grateful for this experience & excited to return."
"It is difficult to provide the words to write this review and describe just how magical, beautiful, profound, and transformative my retreat with From Gaia For You was. Danilo and Ilsa welcomed me and others into their beautiful and loving home, providing a safe and healing space for my first experience with ayahuasca.
Before the retreat, I felt slightly nervous and apprehensive, but the incredible setting, paired with the compassionate care of Danilo and Ilsa, made it an experience that I will cherish forever and never forget. Many times during this retreat, I found myself filled with immense gratitude for making this decision for myself.
From the moment I arrived, I was embraced as part of their family. The warmth and kindness they exuded were palpable, and it created a sense of belonging that I had never experienced before. Their beautiful child, Gaia, brought a joyful and innocent energy to the space, while their dog, Porchie, offered a comforting and grounding presence. These small, yet significant, details added to the richness of the experience, making it feel truly holistic and deeply personal.
The meals prepared during the retreat were nothing short of incredible. Each dish was crafted with love and care, nourishing both the body and soul. The food was not only delicious but also thoughtfully designed to complement the healing journey we were on. Sharing meals with Danilo, Ilsa, and the other participants fostered a sense of community and connection that enhanced the overall experience.
I learned so much about myself and the universe during my time here. The ceremonies were conducted with such reverence and respect, allowing me to delve deep into my inner world. I walked away from the retreat with my head held high and my inner child healed in ways I had always dreamt of. The insights and revelations I gained have left a lasting impact, guiding me towards a more fulfilled and authentic life.
In essence, my retreat with From Gaia For You was a beautiful and transformative journey. Danilo and Ilsa’s dedication to creating a safe, nurturing, and loving environment made all the difference. I will forever be grateful for this profound experience and the newfound family I found in them.
If you are questioning whether to take the plunge and sign up for this retreat, do it. You won’t regret it. "
