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.

    My experience with the Aya Retreat has been nothing short of amazing.
    The care, the love, the compassion.. Although i was a bit nervous (as it was my first experience with Ayahuasca) Oliver and Kevin managed to make me feel very safe and taken care of.

    It started with a simple video call to get to know me and my intentions before booking, Oliver immediately made an excellent impression, which only deepened during my time at the retreat. He and Kevin were able to help me physically, mentally and spiritually throughout the whole stay.

    Kevin’s music and open heart made me have such a beautiful time with loads of new impressions and deep feelings.

    The finca is gorgeous and the view is breathtaking, the ceremonies are well-guided, the music very fitting and there are many opportunities to share feelings and thoughts about the ceremonies. But most of all – at all times I felt very safe and well taken care of.

    Many thanks from all my heart to the Aya Retreat!

    Oliver and the team here are some of the most loving, attentive and professional folk I’ve ever had the luck to encounter. From the moment I arrived at the retreat center in the mountains, the team made for a completely unforgettable experience. Great food, beautiful surroundings, and the peace and quiet to reflect upon the Ayahuasca journey in a safe place. I look forward to visiting again if not for another journey then to see all their faces again. My favorite part is how relatable and non-pretentious the setting was. If you’re looking for a down to earth and wholesome group setting to experience your personal journey with Ayahuasca, look no further.

    I can highly recommend the Ayahuasca Retreat Guacamayo- especially if it’s your first time drinking Ayahuasca. Oliver, Kevin and Jenna are the best hosts ever- super friendly and very experienced. The team knows exactly how to support you during and after the ceremony so that you have the best possible experience. I felt super safe and comfortable during my entire stay ( 7 days) and am super thankful for the amazing time! It was definitely a life-changing week!

    I’ve attended 4 retreats at this Ayahuasca centre now and I can honestly say that each time has been a life changing experience. The ceremonies are some of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed, with heavenly music that really stays with you for a long time after. The centre is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The team are amazing at what they do, both at supporting in ceremonies and in helping you process your experience in the sharing circles. The food is delicious and nourishing. You really feel like you are being welcomed into a family at this retreat centre 🙂

    I’m still overwhelmed, when I think back on this awesome retreat, the wonderful people I met there and this magical place! I felt immediately welcomed and home. The place itself is just super beautiful and inspiring. Oliver, his Team and the shaman are all very caring, they gave us so many helpful tips and support from the first video call, through the personal process and also afterwards.
    Special “Gracias” to Kevin and Jamie, who’s music carried us softly through the night and still continues in my memory, in my corazón <3
    The Ayahuasca Experience itself is really something indescribable – so if you hear the call, go for it here, let the magic happen and "may just go where no one's been".
