April 12, 2025 at 9:20 amLaWayra is definitely the best place you can choose for such a vulnerable experience.
The property is beautiful and the surroundings are just magic.
Lawayra team feels more like a family and Sam is super welcoming. We get to share some time with him and his family over luch and breakfast.
The facilitators are always there for us for whatever we need, they guided us is a beautiful way through the experience.
You can also feel the love they have to each other and towards us.
The food got better everyday and was always ontime. The kitchen team was really nice.
The cleaning team does such an amazing work with the property. Everything is tidy-up.
The organisation ist beyond amazing! Everything works as planned and everyone steps in to help. Clara does a really great job with it.
You can feel the experience and power energy of Taita Fernando guiding us and protecting us through the ceremonies.
The word circles are hard at the beginning but so healing as the experience go on.
I always felt really safe and taken care of at any moment.
Im so happy I chose to start my healing journey with LaWayra family. I couldn’t imagine it any better.
Huge thanks to the team and see you really soon❤️

April 3, 2025 at 9:45 pmWhere do I even possibly begin ?
The experiences I had here felt like something out of a dream—so extraordinary that they seemed almost too good to be true. For the first time in my life, I felt truly wanted and loved. Ayahuasca was just one legendary piece of this life-changing puzzle, unlocking a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me.
Strangers became family. Each day, the landscape transformed into something even more breathtaking than the last. And amidst it all, I heard Mother Nature speak—whispering through the rustling leaves, the rhythm of the river, and the symphony of the jungle.
It was as if every person here was placed in my path to help complete my journey. There wasn’t a single staff member or volunteer who didn’t help keep me grounded. There wasn’t a fellow patient who didn’t become a friend or show genuine care for me.
Frank carries a calm, kind, and caring energy—so pure and gentle that simply being around him brings a sense of peace and reassurance.
Tor is a patient and deeply grounded soul who took the time to guide me, offering wisdom exactly when I needed it most. His presence alone was a source of strength throughout my experience.
Sandy, a beautiful and elegant presence, has a way of bringing tranquility into any space she enters. She listens, truly listens, and her kindness radiates in a way that makes every moment spent with her feel safe, warm, and filled with light.
CLARA –
Ah, yes. How could I forget our bright-eyed, bushy-tailed German physician? Lol
She doesn’t just talk the talk—she walks it too. I never expected to meet someone who shared both my Former skepticism and my scientific background, making it all the more comforting to have deep, logical conversations before stepping into the unknown.
But beyond her intellect, she is Brave. She didn’t just walk in our shoes—she wore the socks too. She embarked on the journey with us, side by side, showing that this experience wasn’t just for the patients; it was for everyone. Staff and participants alike took a deep soul dive together, and witnessing that unity was something truly beautiful.
She is sharp, strong, and unwavering. And most importantly, I trust her. I would go through this journey again with her in a heartbeat.
Thank you. I’m always thinking of you.
Nico… where do I even begin? Same and Taita found a true treasure in him. His super kind, loving, and energetic aura made every interaction feel like a gift. There isn’t a single thing he doesn’t understand about the ayahuasca experience—past, present, or future. His guidance carried me through every ceremony, every doubt, and every fear. If the Taita trusts him so deeply, so can we. Meeting Nico felt like meeting an older brother I had known my entire life.
And then, Taita Fernando himself. A man whose lineage with ayahuasca stretches back generations, yet here he was—guiding us, leading us through our journeys like a masterful conductor. My ayahuasca experiences had been rocky, full of highs and lows, until Taita began to play his music. It was as if Mother Ayahuasca herself followed his rhythm, waiting for his cue to move the journey forward or bring it to its conclusion. Yet, no matter where the music took me, it was always benevolent, always filled with purpose.
I am leaving this place with new friends, new insights, and memories I will never forget—something I had prayed for years to experience. I was meant to meet every single person I encountered here. This was destiny. And I am honored to call them my friends.
Wow

April 2, 2025 at 12:27 pmI have participated in 15 ceremonies in total at LaWayra. There are many reasons why I choose LaWayra. The Taita, musicians and ceremonies are nothing short of magical. The level of support from the staff. The dedication, commitment and accomplishments from the owners. The venue, location, comfort, service and food. It has helped me to connect to my true self and others. LaWayra feels like a family to me and I am forever grateful for the space they have created where I’ve been able to heal and grow beyond my expectations. What is worth mentioning is that it’s constantly improving aswell and I’m amazed about their vision, growing community and love and gratitude put into the finest details in working with this sacred medecin.
I recommend LaWayra to anyone who is willing to explore themselves deeply in order to find their way to expand their potential of quality of life.
Thank you everyone involved. You all have filled my heart and soul with love and wisdom.

April 1, 2025 at 1:05 pmwell I don’t even know where to start, but let’s just say this experience has been so magical. I couldn’t have picked a better place to live this beautiful moment. The energies in this land, the staff, and Sam have been nothing but amazing to me and everyone here. I’m so happy, and I’m glad I can be reunited to my land, my home, my roots here in colombia and feel the call to participate as a volunteer and help to contribute my love and light for any future patient interested in attending this wonderful medicine. I love this place and I’m very content with what I got out of it. thank you laWayra! ❤️
