Our Guests Reviews
We are infinitely grateful for the power of the sacred plants and the miracles they bring into our lives.
The result of this deep week of work is best heard directly from them, in their own words.
Maestra Tessy and Maestro Francisco are very powerful, beautiful people. It was a wonderful privilege to be immersed in their culture with such authenticity.
I'll forever be grateful for the team and this incredible retreat. Thank you to all.
I went there by chance because I'm interested in herbal medicine.
What a wonderful experience...I participated in the Ayahusca ceremony.
I recommend it to anyone seeking or on the path to spiritual awakening.
The ceremony takes place in the lush jungle setting, just a stone's throw from the sea.
The maestros and their team are attentive and attentive, and are there to support you at all times.
It was an unforgettable first experience.
Thank you to Sandra and Roberto for creating such a beautiful and unique place.
Véronique
I came across the Inner Flight Retreat through a flyer.
The complex is easy to find, it is at the beginning of Cajahuita, almost directly by the sea.
Appointments were made very easily via WhatsApp. Within a few days the time had come.
I received a very warm welcome, everyone hugged me.
Since I arrived very early, I got a delicious meal.
I felt safe, especially because a participation requirement had to be filled out when registering. This is very serious.
Everything was explained to us travelers again and again and questions were answered precisely.
During the ceremony I felt very taken care of and I didn't panic or have any other complications. Unfortunately, there are many people with prejudices, but not one of them has been confirmed.
The Deva (plant soul) of this medicine was able to implement my previous attention 1:1.
Traumas, retraumatizations and corresponding behavioral patterns accumulated in my life like a necklace of pearls. I was just in head mode. I have been involved in psychology for many years. You mess around with every task you do, which takes forever and it all hurts again.
But this one! Ceremony, half a cup of medicine, took me from the head to the heart energy and I opened my heart, it drew in love. Heat and a pink/purple light replaced all this junk data. At the same time, I was mentally so far along that I manifested how to preserve this feeling. So, every time I meditate now, I chant something intuitive and I am reset again.
During this time, all participants were looked after very lovingly. Incense rituals and gestures of love and connection helped those who dealt with other issues with the help of medicine.
Medicine is like a chameleon, it always presents itself! on the person who takes them and their topics.
Everyone reacts differently.
For me it wasn't just the most sensible investment. I was able to let go of everything and/or accept things because they belong to me.
I laughed, talked, sang and cuddled with a cat for ages.
Many thanks to the entire team, to Ayahuasca and its medicine.
I see myself as healed.
Nature is God.
Aho and much love Jenny
Even before I actually met them in person, the loving, attentive energy they show is present in every interaction. They creat such a loving safe space that makes doing the deep soul work very comfortable. The guidance through the process is overflowing with kindness.
I have been sitting with medicine for many years now, some with other factors but mostly on my own in the old ways. I knew there were things I needed help with and it required a very special group. I found them all here at inner flight. I was able to finally unpack some very heavy trauma and grief that had eluded me for a long time. The healing in my soul is at a much deeper level than I even know it could be. I have found my medicine family.
If you’re looking for a safe space to go deep or are just curious about medicine healing this is the only place I can recommend. All the others I have tried always had something missing. It’s hard to say what it was. Here at inner flight there is nothing missing in the healing. They provide you the space and tools to go into areas you didn’t even know you needed to.
The healing and guidance doesn’t end when the retreat is over. They have created a community space with regular interaction to help with integration. This in my opinion is the biggest part the other places don’t have. At inner flight you are brought into the circle for life if you choose for continued guidance.
The property is by the beach and I enjoyed long walks, swim in the ocean, family style meals, painting and pottery, and sharing this transformative experience with amazing people.
