Testimonials

I travelled all the way from Australia to take part in the retreat— along with my friend, who joined me and came from the UK. Together, we stepped into this journey not really sure what to expect, but what we experienced was beyond words.

The ceremonies were very intense, emotionally and spiritually—but at every moment I felt safe. Beronica looked after us in an incredibly nurturing way; her kindness, sensitivity, and attentiveness made even the hardest parts possible to face. I’ve carried so much of it back home with me—the insights, the connection, the love. I’m profoundly grateful to everyone for holding the space so beautifully.

"I spent a week in Putumayo, Colombia with Mamita Beronica where I learned about the sacred history of plant medicine, and was introduced to ancient ceremonial traditions. I was guided in a profound healing experience, with kindness and a deep attention to my personal needs.

I can’t express fully in words how beautiful and eye opening this experience was for me, just that I will be forever grateful. I plan to go back in the next year, with my partner and other family to continue our healing journeys "

"My experience with Mama Beronica was nothing short of therapeutic and deeply healing! Her wisdom and bright energy guided me calmly through every step of our ceremony. While I expected that I might gain some amount of insight from a Yage experience, I walked away with a deeper sense of peace, healing, and joy than I could have ever imagined.

I am forever grateful for Mama Beronica’s time, care, and knowledge of the ancient healing practices of Yage. I would not have wanted to go through this experience with anyone else — and would recommend her to all of my closest friends and family"

"I came to this place after a long, exhausting search for a hospital for a spiritual illness. What I found was even more real, more powerful, and more supportive than I thought I even had the right to ask for. What I found was a family of healers.

From my first meeting with Mamita Beronica, I instantly recognised the energy of a nurturing peace, of indomitable love, and of gentle guidance. I recognised the energy of a spiritual mother. She seemed to know exactly how to communicate this energy to me in a manner that did not always require words – a universal language, spoken by the soul.

Inside the ceremonies and out, I was in the presence of someone who I can confidently describe as the first real teacher I've ever had. I had a similar sense of strange familiarity the first time I met Alex. He freely, enthusiastically, and sincerely offered his help to me translating when needed, anchoring me in ceremonies if necessary, and helping me to orient myself in this journey – like a spiritual older brother.

I also felt such a natural fellowship with the other seekers who came to learn from the medicine just like me – brothers and sisters in the “ceremony of life”, as Mamita Beronica described it. Everyone who was here was on the same journey, dealt with the same struggles, and was seeking the same sacred source of life, each in their own way.

For the first time in a long time, I did not feel alone. For the first time in a long time, I was home. If you come with faith and an open spirit, then you won’t only discover what you’re looking for – you might also discover that you are part of a spiritual family. A family you have always been a member of, and are finally coming home to."
