Echoes of Light

this is a healing sanctuary in nature far from the distractions and pollution of the city, in a lush beautiful peaceful and safe area in the mountains.

This is a small family run establishment and newly growing community with a relaxed and loving atmosphere. we arent always busy with healing clients but we are always active in our spiritual and healing practices and we always welcome Volunteers here with open hearts. All those who come are treated like family and never asked to do work they dont feel comfortable or capable of doing. we have had a few volunteers come through already via a different platform and they extended their stays because they felt so comfortable and happy at our place.

We had a great time at echoes of light! Valerie, Rurico and their kids are very nice and welcoming. They where very flexible with the working hours so we were able to do alot of things in the afternoon around Bijagua. In the evening they often also had a program at their place for example aztec dance, meditation, medical healing ceremonies and many other things. Valeries cooking skills are awesome. Every day there was a different kind of lunch. When I was sick I was able to work a little less and Rurico even gave me sth against my cough, I felt like I was home. Thank you so much!!<3

I had an overall great stay at echoes of light! The place is so beautiful. I did the cleaning which was easy and flexible with hours and you still get plenty of time to yourself. I did some gardening as well but it was a bit too tough for me and 5 hours felt long. Val’s lunches were yummy & healthy! This is a great opportunity if you’re looking to be immersed in nature, have an authentic experience with the locals, and lots of time to reflect & grow spiritually. So much love for everyone I met including Valerie, Rurico, Juni, Justin, my fellow volunteer, the kids & sweet animals <3

Living and learning at Echoes of Light was an experience I'll never forget. I worked on the land for a bit and did the cleaning for the remainder of my stay. The flexibility with hours was great and I feel like I was able to make the most of my stay by going on local adventures. With the river and yoga studio meters away from my tent, I could've never left. My favorite part was getting to learn from the children and their whimsical ways and learning from Valerie and Rurico in their medicine ceremonies and overall guidance along my journey. Thank you guys so much for the time we shared!

The property is so green and beautiful, the perfect place to relax and reflect, i loved the hammocks. It was easy to fulfill the work requirement and val was very flexible, then you had time to do whatever else you wanted. Its a nice area to walk around and explore or you can organise to go a little further and see nearby attractions. You are around the house a lot so it can feel a little intimate but everyone was kind and the kids are sweet. The food was amazing and different each day. All round a lovely experience :)

I loved my stay here at Echoes of Light. One month was almost not enough. Valerie’s family is so amazing. They become apart of yours. If you are looking to stay in nature and immersing yourself in different culture this is a very good place to travel. If you are looking for self-healing/self-discovery, set your dates this place has truly helped me learn and grow so much. A travel experience I will never forget and always love. I am so grateful for all that Valerie has provided me during my stay. She cares about all those that come. She is a very loving woman and beautiful soul!
