This place is very special. During my time here I got to clear out some brush, clear out some trail, and on my last day go through the whole process of making cacao. The river nearby to soak in was an incredible way to wake up each morning. Hiking up the mountain was very special, and I really felt a good connection with the Center and elements when I was there. Very grateful for having been there.

This experience can't be described in words. It's an inward journey so for everyone it will be different. It will be challenging and hard but what you will get out of it is a purer you, more positive, connected to Pachamama and Papasol and God <3 What I would do recommend though on a more practical note is knowing some good Spanish or someone who does that can translate. Also some plastic gloves for the dish washing lol. Eso es todo.

My time at the Center was truly a special experience. If you are looking to disconnect to reconnect then this is the perfect place. Each morning climbing the mountain to meditate wasn't easy at first, but truly served its purpose. Being able to cleanse in the beautiful fresh river was also very special. The family were very accomodating and the food was delicious and healthy. I enjoyed the process of learning how to harvest and process cacao. What the project is doing is truly special and will allow you to connect deeper with yourself and the Center which heals in return.
