From Gaia For You | Holistic Ayahuasca Retreats - Alhaurín el Grande, Málaga

Kevin M.

Working with Danilo, Ilse, and Martin at their home in Spain was one of the most, if not THE most, profound experience of my life thus far. Their family is warm and they share their hearts openly with those that come to them, and it is clear in the joy and love that their children exude every day. Prior to coming to Gaia For You, I felt my life was in shambles. I could not control my mind, my thoughts, my actions, and felt everything in my life was out of my control. After experiencing the medicine with them, I not only have gotten my life back, but now love myself again. If you’re interested or in need of the healing power of plant medicines and considering embarking on that journey, look no further than Gaia for you. Look no further than Ilse, Martin, Danilo, Gaia, and Stella; anything less will provide you with only a fraction of the healing potential you need. I will never forget them in this experience, and will love all five of them and my co-participants to my last. Love and thanks.

A Transformative and Eye Opening Experience

I recently had the privilege of attending From Gaia For You, an ayahuasca retreat which I came across on Retreat Guru. What drew me to their company straight away was that they had the smallest groups, they offered several services alongside ayahuasca and that Danilo and Ilse are husband and wife and have a young child, Gaia, so I this gave me the peace of mind for my safety. The experience will stay with me for a lifetime.

Upon arrival and throughout the retreat, I was made to feel very welcomed, as if I were part of the family. The food was extremely delicious, nourishing and healthy, too. Most of the ingredients were collected from their land/garden and it was extremely peaceful to walk through the land during my reflection time.

Danilo and Ilse are clearly extremely experienced when it comes to the services they offer, providing a safe, supportive and deeply spiritual environment for participants to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. These services helped to prepare us for the ceremonies and facilitate a deeper connection with our own inner wisdom. The music they played, especially the live songs, were absolutely epic. These included the guitar and piano as well as many other live instruments. Their voices complemented each other beautifully and I was truly grateful to be in the presence of both their male and female positive energies. Gaia is super adorable and was so well behaved and happy, you could truly see what good parenting does for a child.

Their dog, Porchie, made my time extra special because I don't have a dog of my own, and he was super friendly and loved cuddles; he often came for walks with me through the land.

Their home was the perfect setting for the retreat, I was enveloped in lush greenery with many different relaxing areas inside and outside. My senses were treated to a symphony of sounds and scents that awakened my connection to nature. The house is so interesting and beautiful, with many dream catchers and Ilse's original artwork dotted around.

During my personal integration session, Danilo read me very well and is clearly skilled with knowing why people are the way they are and what people need. Danilo made me understand it's not necessarily about seeing but more about feeling and understanding the emotions through reading and listening to my body. Danilo and Ilse expertly navigated us through the realms of consciousness, encouraging us to confront our deepest fears, desires, and wounds. Their gentle guidance and reassurance made us feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. The ceremonies were spaced out over several days, allowing for adequate time to integrate the insights and revelations that emerged during each session and we were provided with words of encouragement and wisdom as needed, being supported through the challenges and triumphs of our individual journeys.

As I reflect on my time at this ayahuasca retreat, I am filled with gratitude for the profound shifts that occurred within me. I experienced moments of profound clarity, insight, and peace that I have no doubt will stay with me for the rest of my life. The retreat was not just a series of events or activities – it was a true journey of self-discovery and transformation.

If you're considering embarking on an ayahuasca retreat experience, I highly recommend this particular program. The dedication to safety, spirituality, and community is evident in every aspect of the retreat, from the preparation sessions to the follow-up integration workshops. It's a journey that will challenge you to confront your deepest truths, but will also offer you the tools and support to integrate those revelations into your everyday life.

It is difficult to provide the words to write this review and describe just how magical, beautiful, profound, and transformative my retreat with From Gaia For You was. Danilo and Ilsa welcomed me and others into their beautiful and loving home, providing a safe and healing space for my first experience with ayahuasca.

Before the retreat, I felt slightly nervous and apprehensive, but the incredible setting, paired with the compassionate care of Danilo and Ilsa, made it an experience that I will cherish forever and never forget. Many times during this retreat, I found myself filled with immense gratitude for making this decision for myself.

From the moment I arrived, I was embraced as part of their family. The warmth and kindness they exuded were palpable, and it created a sense of belonging that I had never experienced before. Their beautiful child, Gaia, brought a joyful and innocent energy to the space, while their dog, Porchie, offered a comforting and grounding presence. These small, yet significant, details added to the richness of the experience, making it feel truly holistic and deeply personal.

The meals prepared during the retreat were nothing short of incredible. Each dish was crafted with love and care, nourishing both the body and soul. The food was not only delicious but also thoughtfully designed to complement the healing journey we were on. Sharing meals with Danilo, Ilsa, and the other participants fostered a sense of community and connection that enhanced the overall experience.

I learned so much about myself and the universe during my time here. The ceremonies were conducted with such reverence and respect, allowing me to delve deep into my inner world. I walked away from the retreat with my head held high and my inner child healed in ways I had always dreamt of. The insights and revelations I gained have left a lasting impact, guiding me towards a more fulfilled and authentic life.

In essence, my retreat with From Gaia For You was a beautiful and transformative journey. Danilo and Ilsa’s dedication to creating a safe, nurturing, and loving environment made all the difference. I will forever be grateful for this profound experience and the newfound family I found in them.

Wow. What an incredible and profound experience. This is so much more than an Ayahuasca retreat. Danilo and Ilse welcomed us into their home and created such a loving and safe environment. They facilitate the different medicines with the mindset of cleansing and healing. Between their experience and the music and the medicine, this was a life changing retreat! 10 out of 10 recommend!!

I recently attended a five-day retreat with Danilo, Ilse and Martín. The experience involved plant-medicine in a very safe and loving environment, and it truly helped me grow personally. I had wonderful conversations with the hosts and the group, and overall it was a deeply enriching and transformative experience.

I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a safe and supportive retreat

Harmony and Balance Restoration

The retreat brought me through a difficult time in my life to a place of peace and acceptance through intuitive, thoughtful conversation, meditation, breathing and transformative plant based medicine.

Danilo and Martin brought out the beauty and love buried deep inside me through music, silence, meditation, laughter and tears. We looked deeply into every emotion and feeling, learned to actively listen to one another and find gratitude and connection with each other and ourselves.

Words can not describe the love and humble appreciation I have for the work of this great team of kind, thoughtful, non-judgemental, accepting friends.

The memories and friendships will last forever.

I've been to many plant medicine retreats before...up until now I realized I was only scratching the surface with them. The small group size, and Danilos expert guidance will take you way deep into your traumas and clear what no longer is needed. Words can't do it justice. It's just something you have to experience.

This is my second time with Danilo and Ilse, and I went deeper than Ive ever gone. What an amazing experience. The energy there is pure and loving. Much love and respect to you guys. I will be back -J
