Embody Your Power
Become Who You Came Here To Be!
Plant Medicine Ayahuasca | Ayurveda | Emotional, Energetic & Spiritual support
More than a healing retreat, this is an activation—a space to ignite our force, our spirit, and our heart together.
A space to embody more fully the truth of who we areand align our lives with what deeply calls us.
This retreat was born for those who feel ready to go deeper into the embodiment of their truth—to stop holding themselves back and begin living with greater alignment, authenticity, purpose, and soul.
Because your soul is ready to step more fully into its potentialand bring the truth of your heart into the world.
Are You Ready To Fully Step Into Yourself?
There comes a moment in lifewhen the soul can no longer wait.
A moment when we realize that living only from fear, duty, survival, guilt, or expectationis no longer enough.
Part of you already knows there is something deeper waiting for you.A greater expression of yourself.A more aligned way of living, loving, creating, and serving life.
Perhaps you have felt this call for years—maybe your whole life.
But fully walking that path can feel overwhelming.It may require change.Letting go of old identities.Leaving behind ways of living that no longer reflect who you are becoming.
This retreat is an invitation to cross that threshold.
To stop postponing your life.To stop shrinking your truth.To stop abandoning the deepest voice within you.
This is a space to embody your essence more fullyand allow your life to align around it.
What is Ayahuasca and how it can help you?
Ayahuasca has been described by some Shamans as the Mother of all plants in the Amazon jungle and she truly embodies this! She is surely the most powerful and transformative medicine we have experienced so far. She will take you deep into your unconscious patterns to help you reconnect to your essence. The purpose of Ayahuasca ceremonies coupled with integration sessions is to create an inflection point in your journey to your true self. In this process, you will have the opportunity to connect to the most authentic and real part of yourself and establish healthier mental patterns and ways of thinking and relating in your life.
She is pure light and love and we are honoured to be able to share her with the respect and sacredness that working with her deserves. We describe her as "she" since we follow the shamanic tradition of her being a Spirit or Energy that has a consciousness on her own as any other living being.
The Journey of Embodiment
The process of embodying who we truly are is deeply transformational.
It invites us to explore and move beyond old fears, shame, self-doubt, conditioning, and limitationsthat prevent us from expressing our true nature.
It is ultimately a journey of trust and surrender.
A journey where we learn to let the heart guide us more than fear.Where clarity emerges naturally.Where life begins to move with greater synchronicity, meaning, and flow.
When we begin living in alignment with our essence,what once felt impossible can suddenly become possible.
Not because we force it—but because we finally allow ourselves to fully inhabit who we are.
A Carefully Held Transformational Process
This retreat includes a period of preparation and integration since we are opening a process that requires support beyond the retreat itself.
This is a carefully guided journey designed to support you physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually before, during, and after the retreat.
Preparatory Phase:
- Two Group Preparation Sessions (via Zoom): Guided by Dr. Vanessa and Noel to support your emotional, and spiritual preparation process. These sessions also include elements of psychological astrology, self-enquiry and group reflection. Microdosing with Banisteriopsis Caapi (Ayahuasca vine) is highly recommend as a first encounter with the medicine of Ayahuasca, especially for those who have never worked with it before.Session Dates:Friday July 17th — 6pm UK time / 7pm CET timeSaturday August 1st — 11am UK time / 12pm CET time
- Three Individual Ayurvedic Consultations: Guided by Meghna, an experienced Ayurvedic Practitioner to support your physical preparation and overall wellbeing before the retreat. Dietary recommendations and Ayurvedic herbal support will be recommended where appropriate. Highly recommended for individuals who have never worked with us before.
- Four Energetic Body Activations (recorded): Guided by Dr. Vanessa to support the preparation and strengthening of your energetic body for deep transformational work and greater embodiment.
Retreat:
- Two Ayahuasca Ceremonies: A powerful space to dive deep into personal transformation under the guidance of Cesar, our experienced shaman from Colombia. These ceremonies are an invitation to open ourselves to deeper awareness, clarity, emotional release, insight, and reconnection with the truth of who we are.
- Psychological, Emotional & Spiritual Support: Throughout the retreat there will be sharing circles, integration support, and space for reflection guided by the team. Experiences with Ayahuasca can sometimes feel profound, symbolic, or emotionally intense, and participants may benefit from additional space to reflect on their experiences and how these insights relate to their lives personally.
Integration Phase:
- Two Group Integration Sessions (via Zoom): Guided by Dr. Vanessa and Noel to support you in integrating the process. Ayahuasca brings a great deal of clarity and awareness but we still need to implement in our daily lives what these insights truly means for us personally and in practical terms. The integration phase is where the real work begins and materialises.
Session Dates:
- Sunday September 20th — 11am UK time / 12pm CET time
- Saturday August 29th — 11am UK time / 12pm CET time
- Four Advanced Energetic Body Activations (recorded): Guided by Dr. Vanessa to help continue preparing and strengthening your energetic body for deep transformational work and the embodiment of your truth.

What our participants say...

Nathan Willmon, Psychotherapist in training, UK.
Watch Nathan's Testimonial“I had a lot of shame before — shame of my body, shame of my capabilities, my power — and it was preventing me from being my full true self. In the second and third ceremonies I found the root of my shame, and by seeing the root of it, it released the shame.
By releasing the shame, I discovered my voice, my power, who I really am. I almost felt invincible, and I can’t wait to take that back with me and see what it looks like in my real life."

Cherrie Spalding, Manager, UK.
Watch Cherrie's Testimonial“I met Noel and Vanessa in 2024 and it felt like a divine meeting because I needed you both. It felt like a guiding light as soon as I met you because I was a very broken person. Through working with Vanessa, I’ve really learnt about myself, overcome a lot, and started finding my authentic self and my truth.
I felt guided by Vanessa and Noel to find my light, to find my authenticity and to find my voice — because I found my voice very loudly. I feel seen, I feel held, and I feel safe, and that was the biggest thing for me. I leave here without fear and very, very grateful because I got to be exactly what I needed to be.”
