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.

    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.

    This experience was exactly what I needed. The facility is well equipped to make the entire stay comfortable from lodgings to food to the anctual ceremonies. It’s set in a truly picturesque mountain side with the tranquility you would desire for this type of retreat. The facilitators are some of the most genuinely passionate and hardworking people I’ve ever come across and their approach allows for an effortless surrender by knowing you’re in good hands. The medicine itself is potent and with the integration circles led by the talented and experienced team, you get the opportunity to fully digest the experience. To anyone who might by curious, this is for you.

    We look forward to coming back many more times.

    One of the greatest experiences of my life without a doubt. The healing and self discovery that I went through in just a week here was more profound than anything I was able to discover over the past 12 years of suffering and struggling. From the amazing ceremonies, to the facilities plopped in the middle of lush forest that bring peace, and the delicious food… I cannot even put into words how much love I felt for it all. Oliver who runs the place is a special person that helps others find their path through the journey of Aya, and is always kind and willing to talk and help everyone… And Kevin the Doctor/Musician is so talented in so many ways, truly the perfect compliment and partner for Oliver. Not to mention the wonderful Shaman and other talented musicians they bring in for the ceremonies. The group size here is perfect too, since you can really get to know the other people that are with you in an intimate way and get to know their intentions and journey. Lastly, I made some friendships that I will carry with me after I leave and hopefully for years to come; so much love between us all from day 1. I would give it 6 stars if I could, highly recommend to anyone feeling the call of mother Aya.
