Welcome to Harmonica Retreat (formerly Ayahuasca Retreat Guacamayo), perched upon the breathtaking overlooks of Medellin. With a solid five-star rating, our center has been here to facilitate transformation and self-discovery for the past three years. Here, we are not just a retreat; we are a container for your healing journey.

At the heart of our approach is the sacred ayahuasca ceremony, a profound experience that mirrors the complexities of life. It demands trust—in the shaman, the ayahuasca, yourself, and the entire process. Just like life’s lessons in rhythm, harmony, and growth, ayahuasca offers deep insights into love, healing, and personal evolution.

Our founder was motivated by the transformative impact ayahuasca had on his own life and opened this retreat to share these profound changes with others. While ayahuasca is a powerful catalyst, we believe true transformation comes from your everyday choices, actions, and the environment you cultivate. Ayahuasca illuminates paths, reveals blind spots, and supports you in tackling emotional challenges, guiding you toward profound personal evolution.

We are committed to safety and support, offering a medically supervised environment where individuals explore significant changes. Our process prepares you thoroughly for the ayahuasca ceremonies with sharing circles, holotropic breathwork to transition from head to body to heart, and ice baths to connect with your body’s intelligence and push beyond comfort zones. This preparation builds trust in yourself, the group, the facilitators, and the space.

After the retreat, our commitment continues. We foster an online community with monthly sessions helping you maintain the connections and changes ignited here.

    If you want to use ayahuasca as an excuse to visit a 5 star hotel, this is not the retreat for you. If you want to have a profound, authentic, and genuine experience with staff members that really care, (and at an affordable price) I don’t know if you can do better than this. I had an incredible experience and am returning home with several revelations I can apply to my life.

    I cannot speak highly enough of this retreat! The location is stunning & peaceful, while still being close enough to Medellin to make it accessible. It was so glorious every day to be able to watch the mountains and valley and listen to the birds as you go through your healing journey. Oliver, Jenna and the whole team are so kind, wise, and make you feel so safe and loved the whole time. Kevin, the doctor and amazing musician, keeps you both spiritually attuned and medically informed. It is a small group so you feel seen and heard: everyone’s voice and experience matters. I highly recommend doing all the reading and “coursework” they suggest before the experience so you can go in fully ready to absorb all the lessons! They make it easy to prepare. By the time of the actual ceremony I felt so ready. During the ceremony, the guardians gave so much love and joy even if you were experiencing difficult trials from the medicine. After each ceremony, there was ample time for rest and reflection and integration. They’ve really dialed in the experience and the vibe! If I choose to do aya again (very likely!) I would return here for sure.

    I had the privilege of attending a 1 week retreat in August. The staff (Oliver, Jenna, and others) are humble and truly care about your experience. It was a challenging yet very rewarding week, and I grew closer to other participants as the retreat progressed.

    The plant medicine and shamanic healing has allowed me to make positive lifestyle changes. It allows for healing of generational trauma and childhood wounds. Taking part in a retreat of this nature can be scary or daunting, but it’s very much worth it coming out the other side.

    I’d be happy to share my experience 1:1 with you – if you’re interested please DM me on LinkedIn. All the best on your journey!

    I had such a transformational experience at Aya Retreat. As soon as I arrived I felt at home. The center is so welcoming, the hosts are as wonderful as can be, and the experience is indescribably beautiful. Plus, I felt consistently safe and cared for throughout. All of it is pure magic. I’ll definitely be back.
