"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!

"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."

"Attending the retreat led by Femke and Marijn was a profound, life-changing experience that I will cherish forever. From the moment I arrived, I felt an overwhelming sense of safety and belonging, thanks to the incredible effort and dedication."

"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. "

"I could not dreamed of a better place to do this. An incredible and professional team, from the service to the deep, loving support every step of the way. I miss them and the group so much already. I know that anyone who creates the opportunity to attend this retreat will feel the same as me. A totally life changing journey and to be able to share this experience with my mother hand in hand was so magical. All my love to the team, you are the best! You have taught me more during these retreat days than my whole life together, I don’t know how I could be more grateful. I am so full with love ❤️ THANK YOU! "

"Stop reading more reviews and doing more research! Look no further ! I cant highly recommend from Gaia for you retreats- especially if it’s your first time drinking Ayahuasca. Danilo and ilse are the best hosts ever- they’re super friendly and very experienced. They both know exactly how to support you before ,during and after the ceremony so that you have the best possible experience. I felt super safe and comfortable during my entire stay ( 4 days) and am super thankful for the amazing time!

The ceremonies are some of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed, with heavenly music that really stays with you for a long time after. I still remember and feel ilse’s beautiful, remarkable voice in perfect sync and harmony with Danilo’s guitar playing in my head.

"This was absolutely beautiful. I did not know what to expect, I definitely recommend going into this with an open mind. The family, dog, garden, land and stars at night are all so beautiful. The music that was played and sung were all amazing. But most of all, if you’d like to really get in tune with yourself and your consciousness, this is a great beginning to a beautiful journey that will set the tone and open up your eyes. This whole experience was full of love and joy and bliss. You are really taken care of with love both physically and mentally by the hosts. I cannot recommend this enough :)"

"Beautiful home, beautiful parents, beautiful child, beautiful dog. I don’t have enough words to describe the emotional support and love I received from them all during my first ayuhasca experience. Danilo and Ilse really helped me push through my fears and I feel so grateful. This is a wonderful place and I highly recommend them. "

"Danilo and Ilse truly sent me on a deeply emotional and transformative journey to change my entire perspective of my life and self. They helped me find a part of me that was missing through the power of love, connection and the truly magical powers of plant medicine. Much love 💕🫶"

"This is not just a place that provides ayahuasca, it's a true retreat with so many offerings through medicines and other activities. Of course the Ayahuasca is the highlight of every night but the environment that Ilse and Danielo have created for you is what makes the experience wholesome. I went expecting nothing but with an open mind and heart. My advice is to listen to every advice they give you, let go and trust them completely and amazing things will happen."

"Love, safety and trust. for the days I stayed with Ilse and Danilo i’ve felt these 3 things the entire stay. They made me feel at home and welcomed me with open arms. They helped me true my journey by talking and knew how to combine this with the plant medicine. I am really grateful and happy I got this opportunity in this safe environment where I could truly be myself. Hopefully I can come back anytime soon💖✨"

"You cannot explain how much more at peace and in balance you will be after this amazing retreat. The location is perfection. Danilo and Ilse also daughter Gaia and dog porchie make the experience life changing and if your lucky like I was, the other participants will complete this life changing experience. 🫶🙏"

" Pre communication with Siddiq and Elena was really helpful and friendly and they were able to answer all questions I had. Elena was a great guide intuitive as to what my needs were, when to come close, when to withdraw and leave me to my journey. I had a challenging but rewarding experience. A lot of negative energy left my body and allowed me to propel forward with a lighter feeling inside."

"My experience with Siddiq has been fantastic from the first email onwards - I immediately got a sense that these were good people and felt able to trust the process completely. Although it was lovely Elena who actually facilitated my psychedelic journey, I imagine Siddiq would have been equally as gracious, kind and good humoured. Highly recommended. "
