Testimonials
"I don’t know where to start with my experience at Journey to Self Retreat but I suppose most importantly I would thank the three magical women that held such amazing space for all of us! It was truly a powerful experience and each facilitator offered something uniquely special and healing. While I have done ceremony before, this was my first retreat experience and it’s next level. To be completely taken care of for several days really allows for deeper healing. From having intentional Ayurvedic meals prepared, to the education of our doshas, the cacao ceremony, sound healing and yoga, it felt like the most nurturing space one could be in to take on a deep inner journey. The container of other participants instantly felt like old friends and the genuine support each person was giving each other created such a comfortable space to be vulnerable. To be seen and held is so vital to our healing and I can honestly say there wasn’t a moment the whole weekend where I did not feel supported in that way. The integration post ceremony was beautifully detailed and thought out along with the follow up gathering. This is such an important piece to plant medicine and I’m so grateful for the focus that was placed on it.
The experience before and after ceremony, to me is equally as important as what was shown by the medicine. Because it is in fact, part of the journey.
I deeply trust these women and I would highly recommend this stay corriente to anyone who feels called to work with plant medicine in an intentional way. I am forever grateful for this experience, and forever changed."

PLANT MEDICINE CEREMONY
Sacred Plant Medicines are often referred to as entheogens meaning "generating the Divine within." These Plant Medicines have the power to awaken you to higher perspectives and allow a deep cleansing of your Psyche, followed by a strong connection to your true self and your greater life purpose.
CACAO CEREMONY
Cacao Ceremonies are a heart healing ritual that opens the heart through the use of cacao. Our opening ceremony will include a Cacao ceremony where we set intention and honor the Cacao's spirit, through meditation and chanting to release stored emotions/energy from the heart space.
SOUND HEALING
Sound Healing influences our emotional bodies as well as our physical bodies and when we heal our emotional bodies, our physical bodies are giving permission to let go of what no longer is serving us. To support your healing journey Lara will conclude our opening ceremony with a heart revitalizing sound healing.
