My friend and I recently attended a retreat at Pachamama Sanctuary not really knowing what to expect. We both left with our expectations exceeded and feeling like lighter and happier people with better insight into ourselves and our lives. Derek and the staff do an excellent job making sure everyone is comfortable, educated, and safe throughout the process. Our retreat was overseen by shaman JC Arkawa and participants were treated to beautiful live musical performed by him during ceremonies, which added a whole other element to this incredibly humbling, life-changing experience. Highly recommended to those looking to make positive and lasting changes in their lives.
