Stop scrolling. If you're reading reviews, you haven't decided on a retreat yet. Harmonica is where you need to be.
I just returned from a week long retreat and honestly, it was perfect. Oliver and Luna are the most welcoming, caring hosts you'll ever meet and their staff is just as incredible.
The retreat is tucked in the hills northeast of downtown Medellín, with views that take your breath away. It's spotless, fully equipped, and waking up there felt like stepping into a dream.
And the food, oh, the food! I prepped for the diet weeks in advance and every single meal onsite blew me away. Freshly blended juices, vibrant dishes, each one better than the last. You'll eat like royalty while your soul transforms.
Dr. Kevin and the shaman Sergio were there every step of the way, guiding ceremonies, singing, and creating a magical atmosphere. Sergio's team is truly gifted in what they do and they create music that perfectly complements the experience that you will remember forever. The ayahuasca rituals were nothing short of extraordinary.
I'm not going to sit here and say there aren't other worthy retreats out there; online reviews clearly show there are. But what truly sets Harmonica apart is their participant limit. They cap at 12 people, which not only allows them to individualize the experience for each guest but also creates an atmosphere of genuine bonding. I'm extremely introverted and had serious apprehension before arriving, but I left with true connections. We even hope to attend together again in the future, after just a week!
I'm being honest when I say, aside from my children's births, this was the most beautiful, transformative experience of my life. My intentions were answered, yet I left wanting more. The songs still echo in my mind! I'll be back, no question.
If ayahuasca is calling, don't hesitate! Harmonica is where you need to go. You will not regret it!
