"If I tell you that what is written on the Inner Shift Institute website is truly what you will get, would you believe it? I was hoping for some of that. Years of therapy and family problems brought me to a point from which I saw no way out. Neither for myself nor for my loved ones. I came with one intention to solve one of many problems and with a bit of hope that this trip would bring something. However, what I encountered was a complete surprise at the extremes of each scale. And THIS SHIFT which takes you from one side to another, would not have happened without the wise leadership of the entire team. During 6-day stay program prepared by Alice and the team, each stage played its most important role. Without the knowledge and open heart of the team, each stage of it, preparation, management, integration would be only a fleeting event. Alice, Jeanne, Cony, Amber, Caroline you accompanied me on my journey and your presence with your gifts was the key to the transformation of me and the problems I was struggling with, a transformation that happens even after I returned home. I felt within myself the solution to the problem I came with - no matter how strange it may sound, this feeling is the essence. I wholeheartedly recommend it...to the world!"

"Had my first-ever experience with plant medicine (psilocybin) with Caro and the Inner Shift Institute, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The entire team, from booking to trip guidance and integration, truly managed to create the best possible setting for a first-timer. The preparation was thorough and I was sent a bunch of useful resources well in time before the trip, all very helpful for a soft introduction to the world of psychedelics. This included a whole video course, a preparation video, book recommendations, and so forth. Caro was a wonderful guide throughout my experience. The preparation session was great, and she was thorough, analytical, and emotionally sound when guiding me in setting an intention for the trip. The result was great confidence and a calm, clear mind ahead of the experience. For anyone feeling a bit of nervousness surrounding plant medicine, Caro is a wonderful person to have around! She created a comfortable, safe, light, and professional setting from the minute we met, and ensured the same atmosphere throughout the experience. To me, this resulted in complete trust, surrender, and readiness both ahead of, during, and after the trip. The integration session took place a few days after the trip, granting me the time needed to thoroughly reflect upon the experience on my own first. During the integration, Caro truly helped me both make sense of my visions and connect them to my intention, my patterns, and life itself. I am ending this experience with increased clarity and a strong motivation to continue my inner work. I truly recommend the Inner Shift Institute to anyone aiming to enter the world of plant medicine and its healing powers."

"When I started my quest to find a guided psychedelic experience, A Whole New High (now Inner Shift) felt right immediately. They were responsive and provided information and guidance. Working with an established agency that employed seasoned practitioners was extremely important to me. Supporting a women owned and operated business was icing on the cake. When it came time to choose the practitioner, I knew that I would be in good hands with anyone. I was lucky enough to feel a connection with Karlijn through reading her biography and then watching a video of her explaining what could be expected throughout the process. I appreciate having the opportunity to work with AWNH, now Inner Shift, but am profoundly grateful to Karlijn for her expertise, her light, and her grounding nature. Her experience and wisdom helped guide me through a life changing journey. Karlijn’s energy and unwavering trust in this work provided the space and tools I needed to move through deep rooted barriers. With Karlijn’s help, I was able to face fears and ultimately surrender to the process. I do not feel that words are enough to describe my gratitude to this agency, for believing in this therapeutic modality and then employing women like Karlijn, who give themselves to this work so that people like me can find deep and profound healing.

"Prior to this retreat, I was trying everything to improve my mental health for more than 30 years, but everything felt like a shot in the dark. The retreat helped me to see my destination and plot my course forward. I was able to clear away old hurts and move around blocks. The team assembled for our retreat was caring, passionate and knowledgeable; they knew the right word to say at the right time. I feel more like myself than I have in many years. Living true to my inner self is such a gift. I still have work to do, but I now clearly know my direction and feel such purpose and peace every day. It wasn’t what I expected, but it was exactly what I needed. I truly consider the group retreat one of the best things I have ever done and strongly encourage everyone to embrace this experience."

"When my partner and I arrived there had been a miscommunication and the wrong room was booked. To not leave us dissatisfied dr alvarius was sure to make ammends by offering us a few things on the house which was a great gesture. As for the bufo and ceremony my partner and i had much anxiety about it but after meeting and talking to the facilitators we felt much relief. The faciliatators were warm and kind. Adrian and tiffany were fantastic. We would reccomend this place to anyone. Very safe and secure place."

"I had such an incredible experience at Casa Arkaana. I was looking to get back in touch with myself, open up, and heal. And I was able to do all of that and more gained a new family in the process. Asdru, Maya, and Marco were so amazing and planned the retreat with such care and intentionality. It was such a beautiful experience and one that I’m so glad I made the decision to go to. Not only did we try a variety of healing medicines, but also integrated jungle walks, cenotes, yoga, breath work, and amazing healthy and delicious meals. Just a great container for healing. I wasn’t sure what to expect when going to Casa Arkaana for their Ancestral Spirits retreat, and had reached out over email and then talked on the phone with them to be comfortable making the decision to go given the lack of reviews. Asdru, who lives on the property with his wife Maya and daughter, was so kind and comforting over the phone, and talked with me for over an hour answering all my questions. Once I arrived the veranda room was clean and nice accommodation, and they’ve built a beautiful common space to hang with the other guests during the retreat. Also anything I needed they were quick to provide and so helpful throughout. If you’re looking for a retreat where the hosts truly care and want to build a personal connection with them, this is the right one for you. 10/10 would do many times again! If you have a calling to do it, don’t think too much, just do it! You’re in great hands with Casa Arkaana."

"I write this review honestly from my perspective with love and gratitude and with some suggestions. First of all, thank you so much to my facilitators Mario and Jenny. They were the perfect guides along a most profound awakening journey. They held space for me in the most loving and kind way possible. The Kambo cleansed me and the bufo blew me open I simply cannot describe how profound this was for me and I'm eternally grateful. That being said, here is my honest review of the retreat package I purchased. It was not as described. The package is advertised as being an inclusive experience that includes two meals a day, a sound healing, and a sauna. Unfortunately, none of these were acknowledged or honored by the owner or hotel staff. When I brought this up, the hotel owner kindly gave me $700 pesos and recommended a few nearby restaurants. While this was appreciated, it only really covers one or two meals in Tulum. The Sauna was out of order, and there was not any invitations to schedule the sound healing. I would have appreciated more acknowledgement and hospitality. I think it is the responsibility of the hotel staff and owner to honor and acknowledge the retreat package and make sure everything is accounted for. The hotel itself is pretty nice. The room was clean and comfortable. The pool was cool and refreshing. However, the atmosphere was a bit chaotic. There was very loud construction happening the whole time I was there. Again, no acknowledgement of this and not any warning ahead of time. This made it more difficult to relax during my stay. I think that there could be an improvement in terms of communication, hospitality and accountability. Guests are entering into a very big moment in our lives when we go to take bufo for our first time and it is a big responsibility for the hotel staff to create a safe and welcoming space. I. Many ways, this was a perfect experience, and ultimately, I am very glad I did it. I do recommend to book your stay, just understand that it is not an inclusive retreat. It may be life changing, even if there are some areas of improvement. With love, Devan"

"First and foremost the space while in a busy part of Tulum is it's own little sanctuary of peace. The room was comfortable, clean and just the right temp. The communal bathrooms are also kept to a very high standard. Now the important part... The Kambo ceremony was much more rewarding than I expected. Having not known much about it, I was pleasantly surprised with the sense of calm and peace it brought me. The Bufo ceremony was a wild ride that I'm still unpacking a little less than two weeks later. This medicine and the facilitators changed my life in the most profound way. A complete shift has occurred, I was able to discard many negative traits and traumas in the days following the ceremony. Rebuilding into the best version of myself in all the best ways. The very first thing I recall saying after I woke from the medicine was "this is what peace feels like". Everyone should have access to this! The 3 hour cenote integration that followed was at the time a little overwhelming, however the tools and memories gained during this time have been invaluable with my long term integration. I would also highly recommend the sensory deprivation tank. I was not expecting to gain much from this but I probably processed and released some of the most traumatic events of my past during this session. This was and is the best thing I've ever done for myself in my 43 years on this earth. Do your soul a favor and go experience this medicine! James "

"Amina & Tony were amazing all throughout- from initially contacting me to explain the process of Ayahuesca, the philosophies & connecting with your wisdom within - to transform your mindset, heal & integrate back into the real world. They created a truly safe & inclusive setting, which for first timers was so important. The food and camp with wonderful too. Can’t recommend this enough if you are looking for a pattern interruptor to make meaningful change in your life ❤️ "

"Amina was the best guide I could’ve asked for for my experience with ayahuasca. She approached everything from a place of love, and made sure that everyone was cared for throughout the retreat. I wouldn’t want to do a retreat without her as my guide, and will seek her out in future."

"Amina, Paola, Laeti, and Charlotte were amazing guides through this experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to share this with. The retreat exceeded my expectations. Everything was approached from a place of love and care, so that no one felt unsure or unsafe at any point. I would (and have) strongly recommend this retreat to anyone who is interested in experiencing the spirituality of ayahuasca."

"I can say everything is structured better than I imagined from my perspective. Everyone I met there are from different walks of life and we were all there to intake the medicine and work through whatever it was the medicine was bringing to the surface. Asdrubal and Maja were very informative on any questions I had, since this was my first dieta and first time with mama ayahuasca. Its a very safe location as well so there was no need to ever worry during my stay. The location is in the jungle as well so I had the opportunity to reconnect with nature as well as reset my circadian rhythm. Its been about 3 weeks since I was there last and I receive downloads still from the medicine, yet anything I need help understanding I know I can reach out to Asdrubal and Maja since we stayed in contact with each other. There were times where I was stuck processing what I had experienced in the ceremonies the night before and Maja would come up to me and ask me about it afterwards so we could decipher what some of the messages meant and that was very helpful in getting me out of my own head and realizing how to take action on the message. I never had to worry about my eating while I was there as they had already taken out what would've been counterintuitive for the medicine or the master plants that we were introduced to. I worked through a lot while I was there and its definitely been for the better; I am looking forward to going back again and I would definitely recommend Casa Arkaana to anyone from seasoned drinkers to new drinkers. Drinkers of mama ayahuasca of course. Everyone there except for another dietera was experienced and they explained the comparisons of other retreats with Casa Arkaana and I can confidently say I made the right decision. "
