Maloca Sagrada

Cali, Colombia

Come be taken care of. High in the mountains outside Cali, Colombia, our farm sits among the clouds in a lush cloud forest, on land that once held a 3,000-year-old civilization. This is a place of peace and rest, where the soul can reconnect with the source of all that is.

Over nine days, guided by the wisdom and experience of Taita Edwin, you will be held in a space that feels like home. Our retreat offers far more than a getaway. It is an opportunity for deep healing, reflection, and lasting transformation with the sacred medicine.

At the heart of the retreat are four nights of sacred yagé ceremony, held in a maloca built by Taita himself and dedicated to the medicine, as well as outdoors under the open stars, surrounded by the wild beauty of the land. You will be supported throughout in a true family atmosphere, with safety, clarity, courage, and purpose. Connecting with the plant on the very land where it grows is a powerful experience that cannot be recreated elsewhere.

Between ceremonies, your days are filled with rest and gentle care: meditation, breathwork, yoga, herbal baths, rapé and sananga, and evening sharing circles. You are welcome to explore the farm, meet the animals, and pick fresh fruit. The hospitality, warmth, and kindness of the people, the beauty of the land, and the sounds and music of the valley come together to create a true sanctuary.

Your Nine-Day Retreat

Day 1 – Arrival. Upon arrival at Cali International Airport (CLO), you’ll be warmly welcomed and transferred to our peaceful finca, where you’ll meet the group, settle into your accommodations, and begin your journey.

Day 2 – Grounding. Ease into the retreat with a day dedicated to relaxation and preparation. Enjoy guided meditation, breathwork, yoga, and a traditional rapé and sananga ceremony to help prepare your body, mind, and spirit.

Day 3 – First Sacred Ceremony. Spend the day resting at the finca, receiving herbal baths, and preparing for your first evening of sacred yagé ceremony.

Day 4 – Second Sacred Ceremony. Continue your journey with a restful day, herbal baths, and your second evening ceremony.

Day 5 – Integration. A gentle day to rest, reflect, and integrate your experiences, ending with an evening sharing circle where participants can connect and support one another.

Day 6 – Third Sacred Ceremony. Enjoy another restorative day with herbal baths before gathering for the third evening of sacred yagé ceremony.

Day 7 – Final Sacred Ceremony. Your final ceremony night is preceded by a peaceful day of rest and herbal baths, allowing you to fully prepare for this meaningful experience.

Day 8 – Celebration. Spend the day relaxing at the finca before joining the group for a celebratory barbecue and a closing sharing circle in the evening.

Day 9 – Departure. After breakfast, you’ll be transferred back to Cali International Airport (CLO) for your onward journey.

    The literal most TransFormative retreat i’ve ever attended.

    Wow!

    Taita, Claudia and workers think of everything. Large to the smallest details, the whole property was set up for enjoyment and to open the senses for the soft subtle whispers of nature to increase its volume internally. This retreat is chance to slow down and relax. The love, care and concern their family has for medicine and us is felt in every (supremely delicious) meal, folded article of clothing, and ceremony. The welcoming environment is thoughtfully curated for comfort and a perfect way to experience the magnitude of beauty Colombia has to offer. The view the view the view, a true slice of heaven!
    The ceremonies there were extremely potent. They ran the spectrum of great inner silence and stillness by the crackling fire to powerful icaros accompanied by drums with jungle fortitude in lasting shifts of perspective.
    The Maloca itself is an actual work of art. Getting the opportunity to be with yage on her home turf will only overwhelm you with an immovable feeling of open heartedness you take back home with you. Taita’s anchored demeanor and gentle loving ways allow all attendees to go deep in, far into whatever anyone is working through in a safe, open armed, accepting space. These bridges we cross in ourselves can often feel isolating but these ceremonies are conducted in a way to give space and also feel on a cellular level the work is being done together.
    I recommend this retreat to any and every one looking for a warm, safe, nonjudgemental, beautiful environment with exceptional views and loving people who will take you in as their own. You will come away with a clearer deepened love for yourself. In gratitude to Taita and Claudia for your years of putting more light into this universe, it’s working. Thank you, ian

    This is truly the real thing. Taita Edwin, Claudia and their family have provided an exceptional experience. Every detail was taken care of. You can travel light because there even is a laundry service. Everyone feels like family, the service they provide is given with so much love and care. The ceremonies were like nothing I’ve ever experienced, although I did many before coming to Colombia. Thank you so much for everything. I cannot imagine going anywhere else in the future.

    From the moment I arrived at the airport and was met by Taita Edwin himself and his team until departure day, the entire retreat was phenomenal. The property, the accommodations, the attentive staff, and the organic farm-to-table food were perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with medicine. Our entire group was so well-cared for. It truly felt as though our experience of the ceremonies was the absolute top priority and that includes the permission (and encouragement) to take as much rest as needed, be with nature, nourish our bodies with incredible homemade food and beverages, and be with community.

    Taita Edwin’s love and care is evident everywhere, especially the beautiful maloca. It was one of the most unforgettable and life-changing experiences of my life. It will stay with me forever and I intend to visit again in the future. Deepest gratitude to Taita Edwin, Claudia, and team.

    Taita Edwin and Claudia and their team were exceptional. I have never experienced anything like this in my life, and I have been to many places around the world. The food was incredible the place is magical. I am already planning to go back in the future. Taita Edwin and his team have given me my life back from severe PTSD from the military. I highly recommend this slice of heaven on earth to anyone who is looking for Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Acceptance.

    These retreats have been the most life changing experiences of my life. I have been lucky enough to attend several and have been welcomed with open arms and generous hospitality with my family. I have found everything I need here. The medicine work is so profound. My life would not be where it is without it. Taita Edwin and his family have created a space that makes you feel at home in every way, only the view is infinitely better! The accommodations are so comfortable, the property has many amenities with a hot tub and steam room overlooking the Valle del Cauca and the beauty of Colombia. The food is absolutely delicious and nourishing. I miss it when I come home. Taitas work is both grounded in humanity and truth but at the same time, it is magical. You feel a deep connection to the divine that is hard to grasp anywhere else, it’s indescribable. I feel so lucky to be able to attend these retreats and call this a “home away from home”. 5 stars is not enough.
