SUMMARY:Ayahuasca & Somatic Journey
DESCRIPTION:Ayahuasca & Somatic JourneyFrom insight to embodied transformationJan 15 – 25\, 2027* \nColombia \n*This retreat can also open on demand once a minimum of 3 participants is confirmed \nToggle NavigationHomeVenueBenefitsTestimonialsInclusionsLeadersRegisterContactIf you’re ready to explore what’s beneath the surface\, in a safe\, trauma-informed\, and supportive space\, guided by a trusted community and practices that reconnect you to your body\, this retreat is for YOU. \nBy the end of this retreat\, you’ll feel more grounded in your body\, clearer in your heart\, and connected to something greater than yourself\, through the combined power of sacred yagé (ayahuasca) ceremony\, somatic practices\, and a family-like community that holds you.  \nYou’ll leave with deeper trust in your inner process\, tools for emotional regulation\, and a renewed sense of direction\, so you can return to your life feeling more whole\, more awake\, and more aligned with what truly matters. \nReserve Your Spot NowThis retreat is intentionally limited to a small group of 6 participants\, allowing deep presence\, individual support and carefully held container.\nDrop into the experience \nImagine stepping into a way of living that’s deeply connected to nature and community. You will hike into the lush Colombian mountains\, leaving the noise of the world behind. With every step\, your senses will soften; birdsong\, rivers\, and sacred silence will greet you. After a gentle walk through nature\, you’ll arrive at a hand-built retreat center\, crafted with natural materials and the wisdom of the land. Here\, nature conexion isn’t a concept\, it’s our way of life. \nYou’ll settle into a space that invites listening; to tradition\, to Spirit\, and most of all\, to yourself. \nYou will be welcomed by a caring team\, including our respected Indigenous Taita\, a shaman from a lineage of wisdom passed down through generations\, who will not only guide the ceremonial space but will be present for you the whole journey. \nFrom the moment you arrive\, the journey begins. Through somatic (body-based and movement) practices\, you will gently ground into the territory\, reconnect with your body\, and begin weaving bonds with the group that will walk this path beside you. You will also receive somatic tools to support you during the ceremonies. Furthermore\, you will have private time with the facilitators\, where you will be deeply listened to. \nStep by step\, a foundation of safety and trust is created. Only then\, when the body begins to recognize safety\, will you enter the sacred ceremonies of ayahuasca. \nHeld by ancestral traditions and sacred medicine music\, you will be supported through every stage of the experience. The music becomes a guide\, moving through every layer of your being\, while the small\, family-like circle around you offers a space where you can be seen and welcomed exactly as you are. \nThroughout the journey\, you will learn how to meet the intensity of the medicine with presence\, how to listen to the wisdom of your body with compassion\, and how to move through what arises\, not with fear\, but with trust. \nWhy this retreat \nThe Ayahuasca & Somatic Journey Retreat is not just another ayahuasca retreat. It’s a holistic\, transformational experience created for those who are no longer seeking a quick fix\, a peak experience\, or a spiritual high. This retreat is for those who are ready to meet themselves fully\, honestly\, and gently. \nHere\, healing doesn’t come from intensity alone\, but from integration. From sacred ceremony and deep listening. From reconnecting to your body\, your truth\, and a kind of support that feels real\, not performative. \nYou’ll be held in a space that honors both the medicine and the nervous system. Because we believe true transformation happens when spirit meets the body… and when both are welcomed with softness and care. \nWhat the retreat offers you \nThe medicines may open the door to spiritual insight\, emotional release\, or a felt connection with something greater than yourself. But this retreat is much more than that; it’s a carefully held space designed to support your process before\, during\, and after the ceremonies. \nYou’ll learn to reconnect with your emotions through the body in a way that feels safe\, manageable\, and real. With gentle somatic practices and a trauma-informed approach\, you’ll build the capacity to feel more (including during ceremonies)\, without being overwhelmed. \nYou’ll be given space and structure to slow down and listen. Through somatic preparation and integration\, group processes\, journaling and immersion in nature\, you’ll begin to release what’s been held in your body and return home with more clarity\, more calm\, and more connection. \nIf this resonates with your heart and spirit\, it’s time to say YES and join us for a transformational journey! \nI say YEs!Your sanctuary for this retreat \nWelcome to Fuente Alegre\, a sanctuary where nature holds you\, and simplicity becomes a path to depth. \nNestled in the emerald mountains of Cocorná\, a region known for its waterfalls\, rivers\, and unspoiled beauty just two hours from Medellín\, Fuente Alegre (meaning “The Source of Joy” in Spanish) is where our journey unfolds. To reach it\, you’ll walk 7–10 minutes along a scenic trail\, a gentle and symbolic transition from the outside world into a sacred space. \nFuente Alegre is a family-led project\, lovingly created and hand-built with natural materials by your retreat facilitators\, Lara and Diego. What began as a personal dream grew into a larger vision: to live in harmony with nature\, raise their children in connection to the Earth\, and offer a space for others to remember what truly matters. \nThe heart of the retreat is our open-air ceremonial and movement platform\, an 80m² space with panoramic views of the mountains where you’ll sit around the fire\, breathe in movement\, and connect with presence. Just a few steps away\, the river calls. You may find yourself resting on its sun-warmed stones\, feet in the water\, listening to the sound of life flowing\, a gentle reminder that you too can soften\, surrender\, and return to your natural rhythm. \nBegin the day with a coffee or a garden infusion on your terrace. Curl into a hammock in the social nook with fellow travelers\, or if you like the sound of water\, slip away to journal on a shaded bench beside the river or cool off in our stone-lined plunge pool. \nYour room or cabin is simple\, elegant\, and cozy\, built from the land itself in earth and bamboo. Woven textures\, soft lighting\, and the scent of fresh flowers invite you to inhale… and exhale. From your bed\, you might spot tiny monkeys slipping through the trees. Comfortable mattresses\, soft linens\, and fresh\, intentional touches make the space feel warm and human. \nStart your day with an invigorating cold rinse or end it with a warm flow\, choosing what your body most craves. Plant-based soaps add a gentle\, earthy scent\, keeping you close to nature. \nYour marvelous meals \nAt Fuente Alegre\, food isn’t just nourishment\, it’s part of the whole journey. Our cuisine is fresh\, plant-based\, and mostly vegetarian\, designed to support your retreat experience with vitality and balance. We prioritize light\, wholesome meals that leave you energized rather than heavy\, while remaining flexible to your needs — vegan\, gluten-free\, or other requests are always welcome. Occasionally\, we include eggs or local fish\, depending on the group and the season\, but the essence of our table is colorful\, plant-rich\, and nourishing. \nOur chef’s passion and creativity shine through in every plate. Think: \n\nA vibrant Buddha bowl with roasted vegetables\, quinoa\, fresh herbs\, and a creamy tahini dressing.\nA tropical breakfast of papaya\, pineapple\, and mango with homemade granola and yogurt.\nHearty Colombian ajiaco\, a comforting potato and corn stew adapted with fresh garden herbs.\nCrisp green salads topped with edible flowers and seeds\, drizzled in citrus dressings.\nGolden roasted plantains served with spiced lentils and coconut rice.\n\nWhenever possible\, ingredients are locally sourced: fresh vegetables and herbs from our own garden\, tropical fruits that grow just steps from your room\, and flavors that follow the rhythm of the seasons. \nEvery day you’ll also enjoy soothing herbal infusions\, hand-picked from our garden\, alongside meals that are as beautiful to look at as they are to taste. \nAt our table\, food becomes a moment of joy\, care\, and connection\, uplifting the senses while keeping you close to the Earth. \nEnjoy a free extra night after the end of the retreat \nLive music from our last ceremonies \nWhat to Expect from the Medicine of ayahuasca \nAyahuasca is a sacred psychoactive plant medicine that has been used for centuries by Indigenous cultures of the Amazon for healing\, spiritual insight\, and connection to the divine. \nIt is a brewed preparation made from plants that contain natural MAO inhibitors and DMT\, allowing the experience to be both visionary and deeply introspective. In Colombia\, this sacred brew is known as Yagé. \nAyahuasca is a powerful teacher — but it doesn’t work the same way for everyone\, and it never gives us what we want… it gives us what we need. \nSome people experience vivid visions\, emotional release\, or (spiritual) insightS.Others feel subtle shifts\, clarity\, or a deep sense of peace.Some purge physically or emotionally. Others don’t. Every experience is valid — and there’s no “right way” to receive the medicine. \nWe’re here to support you in meeting whatever arises — whether it’s a deep healing journey\, a quiet inner knowing\, or even the discomfort of not knowing.  \nThe Yagé used in the ceremonies has been lovingly prepared by the Taita and supporting team\, using plants from the very land we stand on\, enhancing the potency of the medicine and grounding your journey in the spirit of the mountains and ancestral wisdom. \nThe Power of Combining Body-based Practices with Plant Medicines \nHealing happens most deeply when we engage not only the mind\, but also the body and spirit. \nSomatic practices are body-centered approaches that help us reconnect with our sensations\, emotions\, and inner experiences. Through conscious movement\, breathwork\, and body awareness\, we learn to regulate the nervous system\, release stored tension\, and send important cues of safety to the body. This is essential because true surrender cannot happen through the mind alone; letting go becomes possible only when the body itself feels safe. \nYagé can open profound states of awareness and emotional release. But without the ability to stay connected to the body\, the intensity of the experience may feel overwhelming. Somatic tools help you remain grounded\, navigate what arises with presence\, and integrate the experience through feeling more than thinking. \nBy cultivating awareness through movement and breath before\, during\, and after the ceremony\, we create the conditions for transformation that is not only profound but also safe\, embodied\, and lasting. \nSafety is the Foundation \nBefore the ceremonies\, we guide you through practices designed to create four essential layers of safety: \n\nSafety in the place — Knowing where you are\, who holds the land\, and where you are landing helps your body settle from the start.\nSafety with the group — Through playful group activities\, we build trust\, belonging\, and connection — so you can feel at ease being yourself.\nSafety with the facilitators — All facilitators\, including the Taita\, are present and available throughout the entire retreat — not just during ceremonies.\nSafety in the body — With somatic tools and nervous system regulation\, your body learns it’s safe\, so your mind can let go.\n\nThese foundations allow you to release control and connect more deeply with the medicine\, with trust\, presence\, and support. \nWhat Participants Say \n\n“I came thinking ayahuasca would be a magic solution. What I found instead was something much deeper: clarity\, empowerment\, and a sense of responsibility for my own healing. This retreat is not just about ceremonies — it’s a holistic experience held in a deeply caring environment. The presence of the Taita\, the constant support from the facilitators\, the group connection\, and living together in wild nature created a level of safety and authenticity that allowed real transformation. I leave feeling more grounded\, open\, and clear about where I’m going.” \nJacob L.\, SWED\n“I arrived stressed and unsure — I’m leaving with clarity\, optimism\, and a lighter heart. Feeling held like family made all the difference. A true before-and-after moment.” \nFrancoise N.\, BE\n“Fuente Alegre offered something rare: a place where healing feels natural and safe. Surrounded by wild nature and held in genuine care\, I was able to release emotional weight and begin again. The ceremonies were profound\, but it was the warmth of the family and the sense of trust they create that made the real difference. More than a retreat — it truly feels like a home for the soul.” \nClaudia I\, BEShould you join ?  \nThat’s a YES if…  \n\nYou feel emotionally shut down — or overwhelmed. You’ve been carrying a lot. Maybe you’ve learned how to function well… but not how to feel well.\nYou’re in a life transition — and your direction feels unclear. Something ended. Something else wants to begin. But you don’t know what it is yet.\nYou carry pain or trauma in your body that hasn’t been fully released. You know there’s something there — grief\, memory\, tension\, old stories.\nYou want to feel a spiritual connection — not just think about it. You’ve read the books. You’ve tried the practices. But you long for an experience that moves through you.\nYou’re tired of being the one who holds space for everyone else. You’re the helper\, the strong one\, the space-holder. But who holds you?\n\nThat’s a NO if… \n\nYou prefer refined luxury over raw beauty\, simplicity\, and genuine connection.\nYou’re not comfortable stepping outside your usual comfort zone.\nYou tend to resist nature\, conscious movement\, dance\, or self-reflection.\nYou don’t feel open to being in a small group\, sharing stories\, holding space\, or letting go.\nYou are not interested in spirituality in any form.\nThe idea of being a bit isolated from the village — with limited services\, basic access\, and a short walk under the stars to your cabin — feels overwhelming.\nYou need a strictly adults-only space — this is a family-led retreat\, and our kids may be around at times.\n\nI say YES What’s Included \n✨One free private call to connect\, explore your intentions\, and see if this retreat feels aligned for you. \n✨ 11 days / 10 nights in nature at our handcrafted retreat center in the room of your choice \n✨ 3 healthy\, delicious meals a day (Dinner only on arrival day; breakfast only on departure day.

A member of the Tiger Clan\, Taita Libardo has dedicated more than 25 years to sharing ancestral medicine and traditional teachings. \nHis training began at a very young age under the guidance of his father\, the renowned Taita Luis Eduardo Matapí Yucuna\, with whom he studied for 15 years\, strengthening a legacy based on respect and connection with the traditions of his people. \nThroughout his life\, he has traveled through various territories of the Colombian Amazon\, sharing and learning from great wisdom keepers of indigenous communities such as the Murui\, Corebajú\, Kichwa\, Macuna\, and Siona. For over 17 years\, he also worked as a bilingual teacher and traditional authority\, imparting not only academic knowledge but also spiritual values and healing practices. \nThe Taita shares the medicines of yagé (capi in his language)\, mambe\, ambil\, rapé\, and kambo—essential elements for restoring harmony between body\, mind\, and spirit. \nHis holistic approach honors ancestral processes and promotes a safe and authentic space for those seeking healing. His mission is to keep his people’s cultural heritage alive and pass it on with love to future generations. \n Lara Grofils Trauma-aware somatic practitioner and dance therapist. \nHi\, I’m Lara. I grew up in the quiet countryside of Belgium and later chased city pace and engineering degrees. On paper\, I was “doing well.” Inside\, I was lost. After a traumatic assault\, and later a difficult childbirth\, my body felt like a stranger to me. \nWhat brought me back was movement — not performance\, but medicine. Through somatic practices\, breath\, and simple\, honest motion\, I learned to listen again. I came to understand that my body isn’t separate from nature; my body is nature. When I finally honored that truth\, the edges softened and clarity returned. Dance\, my first language since I was three\, became my medicine\, alongside meditation\, micromovements\, yoga\, and journaling as my mirror. \nWith my partner Diego\, I moved to Colombia to live closer to the land. We built our home — and then our retreat center — by hand\, with earth and bamboo\, and we’re raising our children in a way that matches our values: simple\, present\, nature-rooted. We also learn regularly with indigenous elders here in Colombia\, whose guidance helps us bridge ancestral wisdom with everyday life\, especially when things feel hard. \nMy relationship with ayahuasca has unfolded slowly\, over time. For me\, it has never been about intense experiences or quick breakthroughs\, but about learning how to soften\, how to surrender\, and how to gently release control. This understanding didn’t come from the mind — it came through the body. I had to learn\, consciously and unconsciously\, how to feel safe enough to let go. Somatic practices became the foundation that allowed the medicine to meet me with more trust\, clarity\, and humility. \nMy work is gentle and deep. I use somatic and expressive movement\, breath\, nervous system regulation touchpoints\, and guided journaling to help you feel again\, safely. I hold a clear\, trauma-aware space where you don’t have to perform or push. Just meet yourself\, honestly. \nThis retreat isn’t about fixing you. It’s about remembering you — through your body\, with nature as a mirror and plant medicine as a catalyst. \n Diego Colot Duque Half Belgian and half Colombian\, Diego grew up surrounded by nature in rural Belgium before living in Spain and later traveling extensively. Ten years ago\, his first encounter with ayahuasca led him to Colombia\, guided by a deep call toward simplicity\, land-based living\, and ancestral wisdom. \nSince then\, he has apprenticed himself to the land and sat regularly with Colombian indigenous elders\, learning through direct experience — not as theory\, but as practice: how to listen\, how to sit with presence\, how to meet the medicine with respect. His learning is rooted in humility\, curiosity\, and deep respect for ancestral medicine lineages. \nThroughout the retreat\, Diego accompanies participants with grounded emotional support while honoring personal boundaries\, helping to create a safe and stable container for deep inner processes. Deeply connected to nature\, he knows the territory and its plants\, and works closely with the land to support the ceremonial field. \nHis approach is practical\, embodied\, and attentive — rooted in listening\, simplicity\, and care. \nDiego is co-founder of Fuente Alegre and holds the physical\, logistical\, and relational foundations of the retreat space. He is responsible for the land\, daily operations\, and participant care\, ensuring that everything needed for the journey is held with consistency\, presence\, and attention to detail. Diego’s hands have shaped the spaces that now hold retreat processes — environments created for slowness\, truth\, and reconnection. \n Arbol Born in France in 1979\, Árbol initially trained as a physical education teacher. However\, in 2001\, due to health issues\, he embarked on a journey to the Peruvian Amazon in search of healing. There\, he discovered the profound power of medicinal plants and the spiritual depth of the ancestral wisdom of the Amazonian peoples. \nGuided by various teachers from Asháninca\, Shipibo\, Kichwa\, and Matses communities\, Árbol dedicated over 10 years to learning the knowledge and ceremonies related to Ayahuasca. In 2009\, he co-founded the community school Aroiris in Iquitos\, and in 2013 he began his path with Kambó medicine\, which he learned from the Matses elders. \nSince 2016\, he has organized training programs for this medicine at Aroiris. Additionally\, he received teachings from other Amazonian peoples\, such as the Boras and Muruy\, as well as from the Mamos of the Sierra Nevada and the Jates Muiscas in their ancestral memory recovery processes. \nIn the ceremony\, Árbol will accompany the taita and be present to support the process\, offering his experience and deep respect for these traditions. \nIf this resonates with your heart and spirit\, it’s time to say YES and join us for a transformational journey! \nI say YES!Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) \nDo I need previous experience with Ayahuasca or other medicines?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:29:54-05:00Do I need previous experience with Ayahuasca or other medicines?No. This retreat is open to both first-time participants and those with previous experience.

SUMMARY:The Emotional Movement - Workshop Medellín
DESCRIPTION:Espanol AquiConscious Dance & Somatic Exploration Workshop \nThe Emotional Movement What if\, instead of pushing forward\, you allowed yourself space to listen?Friday\, March 6th\, 2026 \n6.30 pm-8 pm \nMedellín\, Laureles \nSometimes we move through life on autopilot. We feel tired\, irritable\, or empty… but we don’t always know why. \nOften\, emotions become stored in the body when they don’t have space to be felt\, expressed\, or integrated. Over time\, this can show up as tension\, disconnection\, anxiety\, or a sense of being “far from yourself.” \nThis workshop is an invitation to return to the body\, reconnect with your emotional world\, and create a safe space to explore what is alive within you\, with gentleness\, rhythm\, and guidance. \nI choose to reconnect with my emotional inner world.What you will experience \nThrough conscious movement\, breath\, moving meditation\, and guided somatic practices\, we will explore different emotions through the body. \nThe journey unfolds progressively and respectfully\, alternating between individual and collective moments\, structure and freedom\, containment and expression. \nMovement is guided in intention\, yet always free in form — honoring your own rhythm and boundaries. \nIn this workshop\, you will: \n\nLearn to listen to what your body expresses beyond words.\nMake space for both comfortable and more challenging emotions.\nRelease accumulated emotional tension and allow energy to flow again.\nReconnect with your vitality\, sensitivity\, and natural creativity.\nDiscover how to transform emotions into movement\, presence\, and inner clarity.\n\nAs emotions find movement\, something shifts: tension softens\, energy circulates\, and greater clarity and connection emerge. \nBecause when we give ourselves permission to feel — through the body — something begins to move. And blocked energy finds its way out. \nThis workshop is for you if… \n\n\nYou sometimes feel disconnected from your emotions or your body. \n\nYou struggle to express what you feel with words and are seeking other ways of inner listening.\nYou carry emotional tension or stress and need space to release and renew.\nYou wish to explore your emotions in a respectful\, embodied\, and conscious way.\n\nAnd also if… \n\nYou are in a moment of change\, transition\, or personal inquiry.\nYou long to reconnect with your vitality\, sensitivity\, and natural capacity to feel.\nYou feel drawn to free movement\, conscious dance\, or somatic processes.\nYou are looking for a safe space to explore yourself\, without judgment or pressure.\n\nNo previous dance experience is needed. \nJust a willingness to feel\, move\, and listen. \nI choose to reconnect with my emotional inner world.Información práctica \n📍 Location: SOMA Medellín – Laureles (Holistic Movement Lab)📅 Date: Friday\, March 6\, 2026⏰ Time: 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. (please allow a little flexibility at the end)💸 Suggested contribution: 55\,000 COP per person🗣️ Language: Spanish & English \nHi\, I’m Lara. \nI’m a somatic therapist and dance movement facilitator\, and I host monthly workshops in Medellín\, each one exploring a different theme around embodiment\, emotions\, and conscious movement. \nWith over 25 years of experience in movement\, I guide people back to their bodies through trauma-informed somatic practices\, dance therapy\, rhythm\, and embodied awareness. \nI’m the founder of Fuente Alegre\, a holistic center in the mountains of Colombia\, where I facilitate retreats rooted in nervous system regulation\, ancestral wisdom\, and embodied presence. \nMy work invites you to reconnect with your emotional truth\, listen to your inner rhythms\, and gently transform unconscious patterns through movement. \nMy style is honest\, creative\, and deeply grounded — holding space with warmth\, clarity\, and respect for each person’s unique journey. \n\nI got to experience a beautiful dance therapy session with Lara.

Sentimos cansancio\, irritabilidad o vacío… pero no siempre sabemos por qué. \nLo que pasa es que las emociones se quedan atrapadas en el cuerpo cuando no encuentran espacio para ser sentidas\, expresadas o integradas.

SUMMARY:Sacred Nature\, Sacred Self
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Nature\, Sacred SelfReconnect with Your Soul’s CallingFebruary 5 – February 9\, 2026 \nColombia \nToggle NavigationHomeOur JourneyVenueCuisineBenefitsTestimonialsColombiaInclusionsLeadersRegisterContactIf you’re craving space to breathe\, reset\, and remember who you are beyond the noise\, and you’re ready to listen deeply to what arises inside\, then join us for this five-day soulful retreat in nature\, where movement\, ritual\, and deep presence will gently guide you back to your essence! \nAs you step into the lush green heart of the Colombian mountains\, the air feels pure on your skin\, alive with birdsong and the murmur of flowing rivers. You notice how your shoulders begin to drop without effort\, how your breath lengthens. It is as if the land itself has been holding its arms open for you. \nYou are welcomed not just with words\, but with presence… honest\, grounded\, warm. You feel it in the way eyes meet yours\, in the unhurried rhythm of each moment. Everything here invites you to slow down\, to arrive\, to be deeply present. \nYou’re held in a retreat space crafted from natural materials and sacred intention by the very people who will walk beside you in the days to come. Woven textures and clean wood scents invite softness. You slip barefoot; a whisper of fine dust grounding your soles. You listen to the land. And slowly\, gently\, the tempo of your heart evens out and you begin to remember your own rhythm. \nAs the days unfold\, time loses its grip and something within you begins to shift. What once felt distant inside you begins to stir and rise — not because you pushed harder\, but because\, for once\, you stopped running. You feel a sense of belonging\, as if you’ve returned to a kind of family — held\, supported\, seen. \nYou immerse yourself in practices that bring you back to your body and your truth\, as a way to root deeper into what matters. \nThis isn’t just a getaway. It’s a homecoming. A reconnection with the clarity and aliveness that’s always been inside you. You feel not only rested\, but changed — more yourself than you’ve felt in years. \nWelcome!  \nThe sacred nature has called you to transformational Colombia! \n\nBy the end of this retreat… \nYou will feel rooted\, spacious\, and alive\, deeply connected to yourself\, to nature\, and to the quiet wisdom within you. \nThrough gentle embodied practices\, grounding rituals\, and the healing presence of wild landscapes\, you’ve given your nervous system the reset it’s been craving. Instead of pouring from an empty cup\, you feel replenished\, steady\, and clear. \nIn the safety of community\, with space to move\, breathe\, and simply be\, you’ve remembered the freedom that comes from honoring your own rhythm without guilt. You walk barefoot on the earth\, you dance without needing to perform\, you express without needing to explain. \nGuided by creative movement\, ancestral wisdom circles\, meditative hikes\, and intuitive practices\, you’ve let go of the pressure to keep up\, and begun to live from presence instead. \n\nImmersed in the element of water—whether through wild rivers\, refreshing natural pools\, or cleansing rituals—you’ve released what no longer serves you and reawakened your vitality. \nAnd since you know now that true connection begins with you\, you’ve learned to honor your needs while opening to others with authenticity. You feel seen\, held\, and understood—not only by the group\, but by yourself. \nYes! It’s time to return to a life guided by intuition\, creativity\, and intention. \nThis journey will ripple far beyond the retreat\, transforming how you show up in your work\, your relationships\, and your daily life—reminding you of what truly matters. \nCan you feel the peace that comes from living at your own pace\, and the grounding clarity that arises when you move forward from that place? \nYes Lara I can feel it! Sign me up!A Journey from Disconnection to Embodied Presence \nDay 1 – GroundingDay 2 – FeelingDay 3 – RememberingDay 4 – ReclaimingDay 5 – CreatingDay 1 – Grounding\nSlowing down. Arriving fully. Landing into presence. \nYou arrive at Fuente Alegre and step into another rhythm. One that speaks in birdsong\, firewood crackles\, and your own breath. You walk the forest path toward the retreat center\, leaving behind noise\, pressure\, and timelines. You begin to slow down. To feel your feet. To soften your pace. \nThis day is about landing—not just physically\, but emotionally and energetically. It invites you to step out of overgiving\, busyness\, and overwhelm\, and into a different relationship with time\, space\, and self. It’s your invitation to be held\, to feel safe\, and to begin again. \nYou are not here to perform. You are here to return—to the earth\, to the body\, to the deeper knowing that you’re allowed to rest. \nDay 2 – Feeling\nReawakening the senses. Listening inward. Making space for emotion. \nToday we enter the forest not with our minds\, but with our bodies. We walk barefoot\, breathe with the trees\, and move with what’s alive in us. The focus shifts inward. What have I not been feeling? What emotions have been buried beneath the doing? \nThis day offers deep permission. Permission to feel—grief\, longing\, beauty\, joy. To sense again. To allow your body to speak in movement and breath\, without needing to explain. \nThis is the medicine for disconnection and depletion: to feel\, fully and honestly\, without judgment. Nature holds you without agenda. And you begin to hold yourself that way too. \nDay 3 – Remembering\nReconnecting to your essence. Listening to the inner voice. Calling your truth back. \nToday is the day you remember what got buried under the shoulds and the noise. Through meditation\, ancestral practices\, journaling and movement\, you recover pieces of yourself that went quiet over time. \nYou remember that your intuition is alive. That your body carries wisdom. That you once knew how to listen—and you still do. \nThis is the antidote to feeling lost or invisible: a day of soul memory. The river reflects your wholeness. The fire invites your voice back. And something sacred inside begins to stir—recognizable\, ancient\, and yours. \nDay 4 – Reclaiming\nClarifying what matters. Choosing your power. Returning to your truth. \nNow that you remember\, what will you do with that knowing? \nThis day is about choice. Through ritual\, guided reflection\, and embodied practices\, you are invited to release what’s no longer yours—stories\, roles\, inner noise. You speak your truth in circle. You’re witnessed\, celebrated\, and met in your strength. \nThis is your turning point—the moment where clarity replaces confusion. Where boundaries become sacred acts of self-honoring. You’re not just reconnecting with your soul’s calling—you’re claiming it. \nYou’ve been waiting for permission. But it was always yours to give. \nDay 5 – Creating\nIntegration. Celebration. Becoming who you already are. \nWe close the retreat not with a goodbye\, but with a return. Today is about integrating—not just what happened here\, but what you’re choosing moving forward. \nThrough creative expression\, movement\, sharing\, and ritual\, you give form to what has shifted. You embody your rhythm. You take your place in the circle. You express yourself—not to impress\, but to honor your aliveness. \nThis is the day you realize: the sacred isn’t elsewhere. It’s here. In your breath\, in your choices\, in your path. You don’t need to become someone else. You’re simply letting yourself be more you. \nIf this resonates with your heart and spirit\, it’s time to say YES and join us for a transformational journey! \nI say YEs!🌿 Your sanctuary for this retreat \nWelcome to Fuente Alegre\, a sanctuary where nature holds you\, and simplicity becomes a path to depth. \nNestled in the emerald mountains of Cocorná\, a region known for its waterfalls\, rivers\, and unspoiled beauty just two hours from Medellín\, Fuente Alegre (meaning “The Source of Joy” in Spanish) is where our journey unfolds. To reach it\, you’ll walk 7–10 minutes along a scenic trail\, a gentle and symbolic transition from the outside world into a sacred space. \nFuente Alegre is a family-led project\, lovingly created and hand-built with natural materials by your retreat facilitators\, Lara and Diego. What began as a personal dream grew into a larger vision: to live in harmony with nature\, raise their children in connection to the Earth\, and offer a space for others to remember what truly matters. \nThe heart of the retreat is our open-air ceremonial and movement platform\, an 80m² space with panoramic views of the mountains where you’ll sit around the fire\, breathe in movement\, and connect with presence. Just a few steps away\, the river calls. You may find yourself resting on its sun-warmed stones\, feet in the water\, listening to the sound of life flowing\, a gentle reminder that you too can soften\, surrender\, and return to your natural rhythm. \nBegin the day with a coffee or a garden infusion on your terrace. Curl into a hammock in the social nook with fellow travelers\, or if you like the sound of water\, slip away to journal on a shaded bench beside the river or cool off in our stone-lined plunge pool. \nYour room is simple\, elegant\, and cozy\, built from the land itself in earth and bamboo. Woven textures\, soft lighting\, and the scent of fresh flowers invite you to inhale… and exhale. From your bed\, you might spot tiny monkeys slipping through the trees. Comfortable mattresses\, soft linens\, and fresh\, intentional touches make the space feel warm and human. \nStart your day with an invigorating cold rinse or end it with a warm flow\, choosing what your body most craves. Plant-based soaps add a gentle\, earthy scent\, keeping you close to nature. \nYour marvelous meals \nAt Fuente Alegre\, food isn’t just nourishment\, it’s part of the whole journey. Our cuisine is fresh\, plant-based\, and mostly vegetarian\, designed to support your retreat experience with vitality and balance. We prioritize light\, wholesome meals that leave you energized rather than heavy\, while remaining flexible to your needs — vegan\, gluten-free\, or other requests are always welcome. Occasionally\, we include eggs or local fish\, depending on the group and the season\, but the essence of our table is colorful\, plant-rich\, and nourishing. \nOur chef’s passion and creativity shine through in every plate. Think: \n\nA vibrant Buddha bowl with roasted vegetables\, quinoa\, fresh herbs\, and a creamy tahini dressing.\nA tropical breakfast of papaya\, pineapple\, and mango with homemade granola and yogurt.\nHearty Colombian ajiaco\, a comforting potato and corn stew adapted with fresh garden herbs.\nCrisp green salads topped with edible flowers and seeds\, drizzled in citrus dressings.\nGolden roasted plantains served with spiced lentils and coconut rice.\n\nWhenever possible\, ingredients are locally sourced: fresh vegetables and herbs from our own garden\, tropical fruits that grow just steps from your room\, and flavors that follow the rhythm of the seasons. \nEvery day you’ll also enjoy soothing herbal infusions\, hand-picked from our garden\, alongside meals that are as beautiful to look at as they are to taste. \nAt our table\, food becomes a moment of joy\, care\, and connection\, uplifting the senses while keeping you close to the Earth. \nEnjoy a free extra night after the end of the retreat \n✨1 free accomodation night on the 15th of December \n🌿 Wouldn’t it feel wonderful if… \n...for once\, you truly made space for yourself?\nWhile you’re with us\, you’ll learn to honor your own needs without guilt\, and return home feeling seen\, not just by others but by yourself. \n...you could hear your intuition clearly\, and trust it?\nWith space to slow down and feel\, you’ll hear your inner voice again\, and begin to trust its wisdom. \n...your creativity had space to unfold again?\nYou’ll gently open to new clarity about your path\, held by nature and ritual\, without forcing answers to appear. \n...your spirituality had a place to land\, in nature\, in ritual\, in community?\nIn a safe and sacred space\, you’ll explore spirituality that feels real and rooted\, in your body\, in the Earth\, in shared experience. \n...you gave from a place of fullness\, not depletion?\nGentle\, embodied practices will support your nervous system so you can restore your inner resources and give from a replenished place. \nBy the end of this retreat\, you’ll feel more rooted in yourself\, more in tune with your intuition\, and more connected to what truly nourishes you. You’ll leave with simple yet powerful practices to sustain you—and the memory of having touched something real\, deep\, and alive. \nI choose presence over pressure!What Others Say \n\nI almost didn’t come to the retreat — until the very last day before coming\, I wasn’t sure I could do it alone. But the moment I arrived\, I felt like family. Lara and Diego took me by the hand and opened a world of experiences I never imagined I’d love or even try. It was a beautiful chance to challenge myself and see what truly matters. I fell in love with the sound of the river\, the vibrant colors of the food\, and the warmth of this place surrounded by water. I’ll be back. \nCaroline B.\, US\nFrom the moment I arrived at Fuente Alegre\, I felt the peace and special energy of the place wrap around me. Diego and Lara welcomed me like family\, and Lara’s dance therapy session was truly life-changing — deeply attuned to my process and needs. This is a place of transformation\, medicine\, and truth. \nSacha\, NL\nThis retreat has been profoundly healing for me. They’ve helped me find inner peace\, release tension\, and reconnect with my emotions. The combination of a family atmosphere and pure nature creates the perfect space for harmony and well-being. \nFelipe G.\, CO\nFuente Alegre is a sanctuary where nature itself heals you. Immersing in the rivers and waterfalls\, with guidance and support\, brought me renewal and peace like never before — and this was my first retreat ever. Diego’s calm presence and deep connection to the land made the experience deeply grounding and unforgettable. And Lara’s sweetness\, attentive listening\, and gentle guidance brought resilience into me and a newfound clarity I will carry forward. \nJess\, USWhy Colombia? \n  \nColombia is a land where the soul remembers. \nIt holds a wild\, untamed beauty — rivers that sing\, mountains that breathe\, forests that feel alive. But more than that\, it holds a deep ancestral memory. In many regions\, Indigenous communities still live in connection to the land\, preserving rituals\, stories\, and ways of being that remind us what it means to live with reverence. And for them\, nature is not a backdrop. It’s a teacher. A guide. A mirror. \nYes\, Colombia has lived through a painful history — one marked by conflict and complexity. But that’s also what makes it so powerful. This is a land that knows transformation. That holds grief and joy in the same breath. That has endured\, adapted\, and come back with resilience and heart. \nAnd in that\, there’s an invitation for us — to come into our own healing. To remember that light can grow through cracks. That we\, too\, can reclaim what’s sacred. \nWe chose Cocorná\, in particular\, because it embodies this harmony. It’s a peaceful and welcoming place — safe\, rooted\, alive with natural beauty. And if it weren’t\, we wouldn’t have chosen to raise our family and build our home here. \nAncestral Wisdom \n  \nWe honor the Colombian cosmovision we’ve learned alongside elders: the land is not scenery\, it’s kin. Mountains\, rivers\, stones\, and trees are living relatives with spirit and memory. When we meet the world this way\, something in us remembers—we are nature\, not separate from it. From this remembrance\, the grip of the small\, protective “I” begins to soften. Through simple rituals\, breath\, and movement\, we practice noticing the ego’s habits—control\, hurry\, self-doubt—and gently return to essence: the clear\, quiet place inside that knows how to belong. \nThis wisdom is relational. It asks not “Who am I alone?” but “Who am I in right relationship—with myself\, my lineage\, my family\, my community\, and the more-than-human world?” In circle\, we listen and speak with intention\, inspired by the Mambeadero tradition of respectful dialogue. We make offerings of gratitude to the waters and the land\, receive stories from the territory\, and practice reciprocity. \nWhat’s Included \n\nFive transformative days and four cozy nights at Fuente Alegre\, a hand-built sanctuary tucked in the lush Colombian mountains of Cocorná — where you’ll be welcomed like family and immersed in the wisdom of nature.\nHomemade delicious\, healthy meals – 4 nourishing breakfasts\, lunches\, and dinners made fresh daily\, with tropical fruits\, garden infusions\, and some traditional Colombian flavors. Vegetarian-friendly and adapted to your needs.\nDaily practices for five days to reconnect with your body\, breath\, and spirit: gentle breathwork\, meditation\, somatic movement\, expressive dance\, journaling\, hiking and wild cold water therapy.\nAncestral ceremonies — sacred plant offerings (tobacco\, mambe\, rapé\, sananga – always optional)\, and shared rituals that root you in presence and awaken ancient memory.\nGuided journeys and teachings drawn from nature’s rhythms\, ancestral wisdom\, and shamanic traditions — including storytelling\, reflection circles\, and silent time on the land.\nSmall\, intimate group experience\, allowing space for personal reflection\, shared presence\, and deep connections.\nOne day trip at the second clearest river of south america and other included activities.\nGroup Transportation from the airport at designated times\, arriving on December 11th\nA Gift of Extra Time. We invite you to linger a little longer. After the retreat ends\, enjoy one extra night with us at no additional cost — our gift to you. Stay immersed in the peace of Fuente Alegre\, rest by the river\, and let your experience settle. \n\nWhat’s NOT Included \n\nYour round-trip airfare from home\nAccommodation before the retreat dates (we can offer recommendation if you arrive earlier)\nPersonal\, medical or trip cancellation insurance\nPrivate transport from the retreat center to Medellín at the end of the retreat\nPersonal taxi transport to the airport outside of scheduled group transport\nTips and gratuities.\nSouvenirs\, phone calls\, taxis\, laundry\, snacks etc.\nToiletries and personal care items (please bring eco-friendly products – we are in an eco-friendly environment)\n\nThis retreat is FOR YOU if… \n\nYou feel the pull to reconnect deeply—with yourself and with nature. \n\nYou’re open to the wisdom of different spiritual traditions and feel a deep respect for Mother Earth. \n\nYou are ready to discover the endless possibilities your body holds\, through movement\, self-connection\, and deep body listening. \n\nYou are moving through a time of transition in your life. \n\nYou’re both excited and nervous about this trip. \n\nIt’s time to sync up your life with your soul! \nThis retreat is NOT for you if… \n\nYou prefer polished luxury over raw beauty and connection. \n\nYou’re not open to stepping out of your comfort zone. \n\nYou resist nature\, conscious movement & dance\, or introspection. \n\nYou’re not open to being in a small group\, sharing stories\, holding space\, or letting go. \nYou are closed to spirituality in any form.\nThe idea of being slightly isolated from the village\, with limited services and access\, and walking a short way under the stars by headlamp to your cabin feels overwhelming to you. \n\nYou need a strictly adults-only space — as a family-led retreat\, our kids may be around sometimes. \n\nYou aren’t willing to laugh\, cry\, hug\, and get a little dusty dirty. \nTrip Leaders \n Lara Grofils Lara —somatic movement guide and dance therapist. \nHi\, I’m Lara. I grew up in the quiet countryside of Belgium and later chased city pace and big degrees (Business Engineering). On paper\, I was “doing well.” Inside\, I was lost. After a traumatic assault when I was young—and later postpartum depression after a difficult childbirth—my body felt like a stranger to me. \nWhat brought me back was movement\, not performance\, but medicine. Through somatic practices\, breath\, and simple\, honest motion\, I learned to listen again. I came to understand that my body isn’t separate from nature; my body is nature. When I finally honored that truth\, the edges softened and clarity returned. Dance\, my first language since I was three\, became my medicine\, alongside meditation and yoga\, and journaling became my mirror. Little by little\, I’m learning to listen more deeply: Who am I beneath what happened to me? Where do I come from\, and where do I choose to go? \nWith my partner\, Diego\, I moved to Colombia to live closer to the land. We built our home—and then our retreat center—by hand\, with earth and bamboo\, and we’re raising our children in a way that matches our values: simple\, present\, nature-rooted. We also learn regularly with indigenous elders here in Colombia\, whose guidance helps us bridge ancestral wisdom with everyday life\, especially when things feel hard. \nMy work is gentle and deep. I use somatic and expressive movement\, breath\, touchpoints of nervous system regulation\, and guided journaling to help you feel again\, safely. Most of what I share happens in relationship with nature: we attune senses\, let the body remember it is nature\, and move in ways that allow truth to surface without forcing it. I hold a clear\, trauma-aware space where you don’t have to perform or push. Just meet yourself\, honestly. \nIf you’re longing to feel at home in your body\, to hear your intuition without the noise\, and to walk forward with more softness and strength\, come. Let the land steady you. Let your body speak. And let your own words—on the page\, in movement\, in breath—show you the way back. \nThis work isn’t about fixing you. It’s about remembering you\, through your body\, with nature as a mirror.. \n Diego Colot Duque Half Colombian\, half Belgian\, I grew up in the quiet fields of Belgium\, where my first teachers were wind\, wood\, and water. At ten\, my family moved to Spain and cracked my world open to different ways of living. Years later\, on a backpacking trip in Australia\, I met a spiritual guide who introduced me to meditation and ancestral medicines. That encounter changed my compass. It pointed me toward a life rooted in nature\, simplicity\, and spirit—and eventually toward Colombia. \nIn Colombia I apprenticed myself to the land and to elders who carry living traditions. Their teachings were not concepts but practices—how to listen\, how to sit with the fire\, how to enter the river with respect. About a decade ago\, when I felt most disconnected from myself and the speed of society\, these practices—along with clean food\, silence\, and prayer—brought me back. Becoming a father deepened the lesson: to be steady inside\, so the people you love can rest against you. \nBy trade I’m a woodworker. With my hands I shape spaces meant for slowness and truth. Together with Lara\, I built our retreat center with bamboo\, earth\, and intention. It’s a place where you can hear your own life again. \nWhat I offer on retreat is simple and elemental: \n\nNature as medicine. River immersions\, cold-water practice\, and time with the forest to settle your nervous system and clear the noise.\nRitual with respect. Teachings I’ve received from Colombian elders shared with humility—never as spectacle\, always as bridge.\nPresence. A calm\, grounded container so you can soften\, feel\, and choose what’s real for you.\nCrafted space. Environments built by hand to hold you—open-air\, fire-lit\, and honest.\n\nIf you feel overextended\, unsure\, or far from yourself\, I won’t ask you to perform or force a breakthrough. We’ll go to the elements. We’ll breathe. We’ll let the river do what rivers do—strip away what you don’t need and return you to what you do. \nIf you’re ready\, I’ll meet you by the water. \nIf this resonates with your heart and spirit\, it’s time to say YES and join us for a transformational journey! \nI say YES!Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) \nIn which language is the retreat?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:33:32-05:00In which language is the retreat?All group activities are in English. A basic level of understanding is enough — the language we truly speak is the body\, nature\, and presence.   \nBoth facilitators also speak French and Spanish\, so light translation can be offered if needed — but the retreat won’t be fully translated. \nWhat is the itinerary?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:33:13-05:00What is the itinerary?We always provide a general overview of the program\, leaving the details to be decided and experienced as the journey unfolds. Your trip leaders teach from life Itself\, as it guides them\, and that is always happening in the moment! \nDepending on the group’s energy\, the itinerary may shift in any direction. Please trust that magic will happen and that we have a wonderful journey planned for you. We look forward to a most exciting adventure together! \nAs a general flow\, we’ll come together twice a day for guided sessions and meaningful group connection. In between\, you’ll immerse yourself in a variety of experiences — from nature-based practices to creative and restorative activities. Most meals will be enjoyed at the retreat center\, with occasional excursions and special gatherings woven in to enrich the journey. \nHow do I get there?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:34:34-05:00How do I get there?We’ll meet at Medellín airport (José María Córdova International Airport) on the first day of the retreat. From there\, you’ll be guided step-by-step to reach the retreat center. Private group transport is arranged for the group at specific meeting times (arrive at the airport before 3 p.m). \nHow do I book flights?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:35:10-05:00How do I book flights?You’ll receive a list of airlines flying from the U.S. and Europe to Medellín. We won’t provide full booking assistance\, but we’re here to answer questions. \nWhat if I arrive earlier in Medellín?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:36:08-05:00What if I arrive earlier in Medellín?We recommend spending the night near the airport. You’ll receive a list of nearby hotels and transport tips. \nCan I come alone?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:36:54-05:00Can I come alone?Absolutely! Most participants come solo. The space is designed to foster authentic connection and community\, even if you arrive knowing no one. \nWhat’s available in the rooms?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:37:38-05:00What’s available in the rooms?You’ll find soft sheets\, fresh towels\, and organic soap provided. \nOnly the River Cabin has a mosquito net\, as it is closer to the water. That said\, we’re lucky to be in an area with very few mosquitoes\, so nets aren’t typically necessary in the other rooms. Still\, if you feel more comfortable with one\, feel free to bring your own. \nAre alcoholic drinks allowed?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:38:11-05:00Are alcoholic drinks allowed?No — this is a substance-free retreat. We invite you to experience the clarity and connection that come with a clear body and mind. \nIs there Wi-Fi?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:39:14-05:00Is there Wi-Fi?There is limited or no Wi-Fi at the retreat center — and that’s intentional. This is a time to unplug\, reconnect with yourself\, and fully immerse in the experience. \nThat said\, we understand if you need to stay connected for important matters. If that’s the case\, we suggest booking the River Cabin\, which has a good Wi-Fi connection. \nAlso\, Tigo\, Claro\, (Movistar) mobile networks generally have reliable signals on-site. \nIs this retreat for me?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:41:49-05:00Is this retreat for me?YES – especially if you’re a soul-seeker craving deep reconnection with yourself\, nature\, and your life’s true rhythm. \nThis retreat will give you the safe space\, tools\, and inspiration you need to realign with your essence and step into a life that feels authentic and alive. \nIs the water safe to drink?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:43:20-05:00Is the water safe to drink?Yes! The water is triple-filtered UV from the mountain’s well and perfectly healthy and safe to drink. \nHow can I take time for this?laragrofils2025-08-26T13:44:30-05:00How can I take time for this?You’re already doing and giving so much! But neglecting your own restoration can slowly drain your joy\, energy\, and clarity—until burnout feels inevitable. That’s exactly why you need this time to pause\, breathe\, and fill yourself back up. \nWhat’s the weather like in Cocorná in early February?laragrofils2025-12-17T14:02:07-05:00What’s the weather like in Cocorná in early February?Cocorná offers a mild and vibrant climate in early February: Expect daytime temperatures around 25-26 °C (77-79 °F)\, and evenings dipping to around 17 °C (63 °F). \nFebruary normally brings relatively gentle rainfall — fewer heavy downpours than the peak wet months\, with rain often falling in short bursts. \nYou’ll enjoy about 6 to 7 hours of sunshine per day\, with roughly 12 hours of daylight\, perfect for being out in nature and for your inner journey. \nThe air tends to feel humid yet comfortably cool\, especially near rivers and forested areas — refreshing\, grounding\, and full of life.

It draws inspiration from traditional and ancestral dances and was developed in France by France Schott-Billmann\, building on the work of Hernâni Duplan and the heritage of Afro-Caribbean dances. \nThis practice invites a return to essential\, instinctive\, and shared movement\, where the body expresses itself beyond words and rhythm becomes a common language. \n\nI am joining this rhythmic experience!Practical Information\n📍Location: Soma Medellín – Laureles\n📅 Date: Friday\, January 23rd\, 2026\n🕡 Time: 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. (Plan for a little flexibility at the end)\n🎟️ Price: 55\,000 COP per person (suggested)\n🗣️ Language: Spanish & English  \nLara Grofils is a somatic and dance therapist with over 25 years of movement experience.

SUMMARY:From Insight to embodiment Webinar REPLAY (FREE)
DESCRIPTION:Home \nAccess free replay here  \nYOU’RE NOT SEEKING AN “AYAHUASCA EXPERIENCE.” \nbut a TRANSFORMATION THAT BECOMES YOUR LIFE \n  \nIn this FREE LIVE ONLINE GATHERING you will learn why you have to prepare your body and nervous system for plant medicine (and more specifically Ayahuasca)\, and how to truly integrate and embody its teachings. \nAccess free replay hereYou’re not searching for a trip\, a high\, or a story. You are here because you feel something calling you…a pull toward deeper truth and alignment. \nMaybe you have already touched profound insight — through ceremony\, therapy\, nature\, breath\, or life itself\, and now you long: \n\nTo embody the insights\nTo anchor the clarity\nTo bring the healing into your relationships\, your choices\, your daily actions\n\nThis is the longing of someone who is no longer chasing the peak — but devoted to the integration. \nBut here is the true: \n\nWithout somatic grounding before and after a ceremony\, even the most beautiful experience stays a memory – or worse\, it can dysregulate the system and create confusion instead of healing.\n \nWhen the body participates\, the vision can become reality and the whole journey becomes safer\, more regulated\, and more transformative. \n\nIn this FREE LIVE ONLINE GATHERING you will learn why you have to prepare your body and nervous system for plant medicine (and more specifically Ayahuasca)\, and how to truly integrate and embody its teachings. \nAccess free replay hereWhat’s inside this session \nTogether we will explore: \n✔ Why preparation matters — psychologically\, emotionally\, physically and spiritually\n✔ How the nervous system shapes your experience before\, during\, and after ceremony\n✔ What actually happens in the psyche during plant medicine journeys\n✔ Why some ceremonies open healing — and why others destabilize\n✔ The difference between vision and integration\n✔ Why emotional capacity matters more than mystical experience\n✔ How trauma and unfinished experiences can resurface in ceremony\n✔ The role of context\, safety\, and trust in deep work\n✔ Why “just drinking the medicine” is not enough\n✔ The mindset that leads to true transformation\, not chaos or confusion \nAccess free replay hereWho are we?\n\n\n\nLara is a somatic Practitioner and Trauma-Aware Facilitator walking a gentle\, step-by-step path with plant medicine.\n\nLara’s relationship with the medicine came slowly\, softly\, and with great respect. She did not rush toward the ceremony — she listened to her body\, and waited until it felt safe\, aligned\, and true.\nHer work is rooted in movement\, nervous-system awareness\, and trauma-sensitive space holding.\nShe helps others build capacity\, safety\, and sensitivity\, so that when the moment comes\, the medicine can land in the body.\nHer path holds those who feel called but want to proceed with care\, grounding\, and attunement. \n\n\nDiego is a ceremony guide and sacred space holder whose connection to the medicine came as a clear\, natural calling.\n\n\nFor Diego\, the path with ayahuasca arrived as an undeniable truth — a deep remembering\, a homecoming coded in his bones. He walks this path with humility\, devotion\, and reverence for ancestral tradition and for the land that taught him.\nDiego brings grounded presence\, integrity\, and a quiet strength\nthat helps people feel safe\, held\, and supported in the unknown.\nHis path holds those who feel a strong calling and are ready to step into the work with courage and trust. \n\n\n\nTogether:\n\nWe co-created Fuente Alegre\, a retreat center built with intention\, where we welcome people into experiences of simplicity\, depth\, and connection. \nPs: We do not serve medicine. The plant ceremonies we are accompanying are held by a dedicated and experienced Taita (shaman) from the Amazon\, who carry this medicine with tradition\, prayer\, and lineage. \n\n\nAccess free replay here \nIt’s completely free—just enter your email below\, and you will receive a link to the replay. \nBy sharing your email\, you understand you’ll be receiving access to the webinar\, plus access to valuable tips\, practices\, and resources we share to support your journey.
