There were so many things about this retreat that made it one of the best vacations that I have been able to experience. The instructors made us feel at home right away. They were each so friendly and genuine and incredibly knowledgeable. I can’t believe how much I learned on this retreat and I have been practicing yoga for a long time.

This is my second retreat for ayahuasca so I thought I knew what to expect but I have to say that they blew through my expectations. The ancestral retreats team created a retreat that was both challenging and comfortable throughout . A retreat that was created with the utmost care and thoughtfulness. The ayahuasca ceremonies were two of the most illuminating moments of my life.

In the week since I’ve been back from the Ancestral Retreats yoga and plant medicine retreat, I’ve felt more confident, peaceful, it’s been easier to connect with others; I’ve felt more human. The retreat leaders have created an amazing program that allows you to build community with people in a short amount of time, to feel safe and supported, to open your heart to be vulnerable and strong

They truly care about their participants, and their intentions. Their combined knowledge of yoga is amazing and each brings something different to the table which I loved. As for the ceremonies , the experiences I had cannot be described with mere words. Life changing for this 52 yr old female. Exactly what my soul needed at exactly the right time. I highly recommend this retreat.

From the moment we booked with Ancestral Retreats, I knew we were in good hands. Carolina, Jorge, and Marco took such care before, during, and after the retreat in guiding our group of twelve lovely people through each and every step of our incredible journey together, with great love, patience, and kindness.
