Our approach
Rooted in Care
We do not push transformation.
We do not promise miracles.
We work with sacred medicines responsibly, with respect for the body, the nervous system, and personal boundaries. Healing is not forced — it unfolds in its own time, when the conditions are safe.
Our intention is not to make you dependent on ceremonies, but to support you in reconnecting with your own inner strength, clarity, and trust.

What Guests Say
After 8 years of waiting for the Universe to grant me a visit with Ayahuasca, I finally received all the healing I have been desperately seeking all my life… This retreat was a sacred gift. The intimate setting, the profound care from Stanley and Irena, and the power of the sacred medicines created a perfect container for deep healing.
I was starting a new chapter after the end of a 10-year relationship. I needed to discover myself and learn to love myself… After the first night, I felt an incredible surge of confidence and was filled with gratitude. Stanley and Irena were incredibly welcoming and supportive.
A profound and life-altering experience. I came to the retreat feeling drained, disconnected, and battling both mental and physical exhaustion… The facilitators were exceptional – professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable… The breakthroughs I experienced were nothing short of miraculous.
It was the most incredible, life-transforming 6 days. Irena and Stan are the most amazing souls, and from day one, I was made to feel at home at the retreat. Every aspect of the retreat, including the food, surroundings, yoga, and energy, was perfect.
