I had the pleasure of visiting Hayulima Spiritual Sanctuary for the full February 2022 retreat, and I can honestly tell you I’m already planning a return visit for next year. What an incredibly valuable and life-altering experience! I feel that my written and verbal explanations of this place are far from able to do it the justice it deserves, but I’ll do my best… As I said, I’m definitely very eager for my return and I would HIGHLY recommend Hayulima Spiritual Sanctuary to everyone. First off, the land is beyond magical and serene, tucked away on a huge expanse of gorgeous, green land in the cloud/rain forest of Mindo. Everywhere you look is really breathtaking and a perfect reminder of how astounding nature is at its finest. The biodiversity of both the flora and fauna is just incredible.
From the time you arrive you feel so welcome and so much love from the Hayulima family & community. I always felt very supported throughout the entire experience, whether it was during a ceremony or just anytime while there. It was really special to be able to form such a close companionship with the shamans and their families and was just a beautiful thing to be a part of. Salvador, Amalia, Pauli and Diana are all so supportive, talented and knowledgeable, yet all incredibly humble and genuinely sincere. It means a lot to me that they all keep in touch as well. I also love the 3 wonderful and adorable dogs that live at Hayulima!
One thing I really loved was the smaller size of the retreat as it really allowed for a close-knit and intimate feeling, allowing us all to get to know each other and for everyone to feel included and supported. The ceremonies were deeply touching and just left a magical mark on your heart and spirit. My eyes, mind and heart were drastically opened and it’s just mind-blowing what these sacred plant medicines can allow you to see and feel. A lesser important detail, but the food was so healthy and delicious, making you feel so good and nourished.
I could go on and on, but as I said, I could not even begin to do this experience proper justice and I just wish for everyone to someday be able to visit Hayulima

In a cloud forest on beautifully worked grounds where birds, flowers and butterflies abound, holds the Hayulima sanctuary. My time there was magical. The accommodations, delicious meals, and staff were just perfect.
Most of all though, the Hayulima family shared their medicines, wisdom and musicianship during the ceremonies in such a giving and safe fashion. The spiritual growth, healing and familial connection I experienced at Hayulima have transformed my life. Thank you!

I am so lucky and grateful to have sat with ayahuasca for the first time at Hayulima… These pictures were a beautiful summary of my experience. For the first time in a long time, I was able to open my arms and embrace all that is here. All I needed was provided and more! Everything; the food, location, accommodation, ceremonies, and staff was absolutely spectacular and came from a sacred place of love. I trust the Hayulima family with my life. I would recommend this place to my own Grandmother!

Hola familia!

I was at Hayulima for 3 retreats as a volunteer between december 2021 and february 2022. The Hayulima family is very welcoming, loving and experienced with plant medecine. The food was amazing, mostly plant-based. The ceremonies were so beautiful and profound. The land is just so generous with all the plants, flowers, birds, butterflies. A perfect place to be held by nature for deep healing with plant medecine.

I’m so grateful I had the chance to deepen my relationship with Ayahuasca, the fire and the human family at Hayulima!

I strongly recommend this place! I’ll be back, for sure!

Muchas gracias Hayulima!
