Who comes here

For those who wonder what else is possible.

Many people who come here live in busy cities and have demanding careers. You may have built a life you're proud of, and still find yourself curious about something beyond the familiar.

Some arrive during a big change. Others simply want time in nature, a different rhythm, or a chance to learn from a tradition far removed from their everyday lives.

You don't have to hate your life to want something different. Sometimes nothing is terribly wrong. You've just changed.

  • You'd like to step outside the pace and expectations of everyday life.
  • You're navigating change, or making room to consider what might come next.
  • You're curious about yagé and want to approach it with care, preparation, and respect for its cultural roots.

“Deep, profound work, and at the same time so caring, loving and light.”

I visited Min and Miguel a year ago, and it is still one of the most profound experiences of my life. I have worked with shamans from many different lineages, and I have never seen work like Taita Miguel's.

The place feels like home, like a big family. Several people guide you in ceremony, Min included, which is unusual in the jungle where shamans often work alone. Having her there mattered to me. She harmonized the space, she translated, and she understood my world as well as the shamanic one.

This is the only place where I found yagé crudo, prepared fresh for every person who comes. You can feel the intention, love and devotion in it. Min isn't preaching anything. She walks beside you and makes sure you are in the best hands.

I loved eating fish caught that morning with the whole family, going on walks while they explained the plants, and Taita Miguel showing me natural remedies for things I was dealing with. If you want an authentic experience with the plants, go here. Min's work is about the culture, the land and the medicine, and you feel that in every moment.

In the lush jungle of Colombia, Min, along with the beautiful disciples, created a safe, transformative space. It was a life-changing experience doing plant medicine, and they took care of us with so much love, guidance, and support. We bathed in the refreshing waterfall and nourished ourselves with healthy food throughout the retreat.

It was truly life-changing, and if you would like that in your life, this is highly recommended. I highly suggest reaching out to Min. You'll be in great hands and supported throughout the journey.
