My first retreat — I had many fears. Being away from civilization, spending time in nature, and trying sacred medicines for the first time felt like a big step into the unknown. But I am truly grateful that I found the courage to give this experience to myself. The place was beautiful — very peaceful, cozy, and fully equipped with everything needed. I felt really comfortable there. Irena and Stan were amazing hosts, but also very supportive guides throughout all the ceremonies we went through. They were truly there for us every step of the way. The food was excellent — beyond my expectations. I am deeply grateful to you, and I will definitely come back soon. Thank you from the bottom of my hear

I can honestly say I feel deeply grateful to have experienced this retreat with Irene and Stan again. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely held. The space they create is incredibly warm, welcoming, calm and safe — a rare kind of environment where you can truly relax, open up, and go inward with trust. Everything is held with such intention and care that it immediately puts you at ease. The ceremonies were profoundly powerful and beautifully guided. Irene and Stan hold such a grounded, compassionate presence, allowing you to move through your own experience while always feeling supported and safe. There is a deep wisdom in the way they facilitate, and it makes the whole journey feel both expansive and secure at the same time. The plant medicine work was incredibly healing and insightful for me, and I’ve come away with a real sense of clarity about my path moving forward. Something has shifted in me in a very real and lasting way. Every detail of the retreat is thoughtfully considered — especially the food, which was absolutely incredible. Every meal felt nourishing, made with love, and added so much to the overall experience of care and wellbeing. I’m leaving feeling lighter, clearer, more open-hearted, and deeply grateful for everything I’ve experienced here. Irene and Stan truly pour love into what they do, and it shows in every part of the retreat. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone called to it. I already feel I will return again. With so much gratitude ✨

I felt very well cared for throughout the entire experience. I have much gratitude for Stan and Irena and staff. Thank you.

Review of 6 Day Ayahuasca & Healing Retreat in Mexico My daily life is quite busy with work. I spend a lot of time thinking and analyzing, as my role requires a high level of logic. I don’t mind it at all; in fact, I feel it suits my personality and strengths perfectly. However, because of this, I am also aware that there are many things in this world that cannot be truly understood just by thinking about them. You can’t just “get it” with your head; you have to experience it to truly understand. (Ironically, I’ve reached this conclusion logically, too.) That is exactly why I joined this retreat—I wanted an overwhelmingly powerful and mystical experience that transcends mere logic. Everyone involved was incredibly kind and maintained a perfect balance in how they interacted with me—always supportive but never overbearing. I could tell they truly cared about my well-being without ever forcing anything upon me. Being my first Ayahuasca experience, I felt a lot of anxiety, but their kind and thoughtful approach was a huge help and gave me the comfort I needed. It was an overwhelming experience that defies description—mystical, yet incredibly intense.
