A Life Changing Experience

It was my first ever taking a psychedelic and it was a life changing experience. It changed the trajectory of my life in a positive way and not always in ways I anticipated. The experience is very comprehensive, it’s a full program designed for you to get the most of your experience. The accommodations are very nice and the support staff excellent. There are lectures every day, yoga, breath work, medical support, massages, organic food, colonics, and of course the four ayahuasca ceremonies. The latter being defined for me as really getting to the bottom of how you became the person that you are, identifying major past traumas and the incredible healing that followed.

Where miracles happen

I went to Rythmia twice. First I went solo in 2022, then I went with a friend in 2023. Both of my stays there were incredible and I had life changing experiences because of Rythmia. I even wrote my debut book "My Drumbeats" after my experiences there. I couldn't keep the gifts I had received from Rythmia to myself. The program there makes sure that we are cared for: from the paramedics on site, the classes, the food, the teachers, and off course let's not forget about the shamans that are carefully hand selected by Rythmia. Rythmia. Life Advancement Center all the way for me! MIRACLES HAPPEN THERE. It's just another level... Thank you Rythmia.

Physical and spiritual healing

I received more than one miracle during my time at Rythmia. I was healed both physically and spiritually. I walked away with a completely new perspective on life. I feel like I can now live my true authentic life.
The facility is meticulous and beautiful. Every part of the itinerary is planned out to give you the highest chance of receiving a miracle. I would recommend Rythmia to everyone looking to find answers and healing in their life.

Best week of my life

I didn’t truly know self love & self worth until now. The whole program at Rythmia required every part of me to bring me the biggest sense of peace I’ve ever experienced. The trust, the love, the calm I now have are worth every penny which you can clearly see on the amount of love and care given by all the staff members. The people I met are now soul friends for the rest of my life. I went for a miracle and got 10! This experience is not for the faint hearted but if you’ve received the call and you’re ready to face your fears and come out the other way with a new you, lighter than ever, then welcome to the best week of your life and I’m so excited for you!!

Truly Transformational

It’s hard to put into words what an incredibly transformational place Rythmia is in a short review. I can only say… I was there with 50 people and nearly every one of them walked away with a new appreciation for life and a renewed passion for living. They have an incredible staff and a well thought out and effective process of putting the attendee in touch with their truest self. Attendees will accomplish in one week what would otherwise take a lifetime in terms of personal growth and transformational insights. If you
have been searching and seeking a place to heal and grow from pain and suffering, you must go to experience this for yourself.

Best week ever!

Without question, the single most impactful week of my life. I reconnected to my true self, let go of life-long issues and opened my heart fully. Not only that, I met people who I now consider my family. The staff at Rythmia is second to none, I've never felt more cared for and supported. And the resort itself felt so safe, welcoming and comfortable - not to mention gorgeous. Truly a magical experience that I wish everyone could have. If you are feeling drawn to Rythmia or ayahuasca in general, book your trip immediately - it will change your life!

Truly a healing place

My husband and I chose Rhythmia because they are the only medically licensed center for plant medicine that we are aware of. Our experience was truly magical. There was one evening where my husband fainted and the medics and shamans assistants took incredibly good care of him and kept an eye on him the rest of the week.The staff and shamans are simply some of the most loving beautiful people we have ever experienced. The ceremonies were absolutely beautiful and sacred, accompanied by live music much of the time by what seemed to be angels.We will definitely return.

The Best Services & Experience

The most caring, attentive and authentic staff. First class resources. Exceptional food. Everything is setup for the optimal experience. This is my third time traveling to Rythmia over the last five years. Each time the experience has progressively improved. I'm not sure how they do it; however, they manage to raise the bar. I highly recommend for anyone considering it. Blessings!

What healing dreams are made of.

My week at Rythmia Life Advancement center was filled with gratitude, enlightenment, so much growth and learning about who I am. The staff and everyone involved with every single aspect of Rythmia is so supportive and thoughtful. I always felt seen, supported, respected, safe and loved during my stay. The classes, food, spa treatments are nothing short of amazing. Every detail is perfectly designed to help your healing process go smoothly and fully supported. I have so much love and respect for Rythmia and couldn’t recommend it more.

On the Fence

Life changing experience. I was initially very hesitant since I didn't have any experience with plant medicine. Mental and physical blocks were removed - pain and anxiety where placed with joy and peace. I am so grateful for this experience. If you are on the fence, please let this review tip you into the right direction.

Safe Nurturing Environment to find your Miracle

I am a single female traveling solo, and I felt incredibly safe and supported throughout the entire week. Strong bonds were made, and I feel that I will have these new friends for life! I would encourage men and women of all ages to give Rythmia a try, especially if you're feeling "stuck" in life and need some direction. Even if you just want a little fine-tuning, you will find your miracle here.

Kathy S

My favorite retreat

Very meaningful retreat experience. This was the second time I have been and I’d go again! I hope I am able to again! The ceremony experience is so totally beautiful, the grounds are lovely and peaceful and the class teachers are fabulous. I am beyond grateful I have been blessed by this life changing opportunity

Once in a lifetime opportunity

I booked a week at Rythmia only hoping I would be able to reconnect with my younger self. It far surpassed my expectations. To say it’s a magical place is an understatement. The staff care for you as if you are family. It’s the most difficult and most rewarding work I have ever done for myself. I’m already looking forward to my next trip. Thank you Gerry and my Rythmia family. I am grateful for all of you.

Jen G

Book the trip you will never ever regret!

Rythmia is truly a life changing place. If you feel called to come, you’re not going to regret it. The culture Gerry has created within the resort and his staff is unlike any place I’ve ever been. Every single soul you interact with is interested in supporting you with whatever you need. All ego is left at the gate when everyone enters. While you may be surrounded with complete strangers you fear you have nothing in common with, you truly leave at the end of the week with your new soul family.

Reborn

I’ve waited 30 days to write this review because the experience I had at Rythmia was so precious, so personal and so profound I was not sure words could convey the depth. If you are seeking a reconnection to your purpose, a re-membering of your divine nature, then this is the place for you. My experience at Rythmia brought me to the core knowledge of the sacredness of life and the understanding that while I am unique and special in this world, so is every other life. Come here to reclaim your soul. The world is waiting for you.

Gratitude for Rythmia

I’m writing this review 9 months post trip. My Rythmia experience was deeply profound. The ceremonies and breathwork exceeded any expectations I had. I thought I was just going for a week, and I did return home after a week… But my journey continues because of what I learned and what I carry with me. Thank you Rythmia, and especially to Waleska and Raquel for their amazing work with me in ceremony. GRATITUDE!

Investment towards your life

I cannot express how grateful I am to have had this experience. I am now on day 4 of the integration process and my life and wellbeing has advanced for the better. I have had nothing but rewards since I've been back and I can navigate life with much more power. Power to choose happiness, compassion and love. Investing in myself is the best decision I have ever made in my life. Thank you Rythmia.

Worth every penny

Robert's trip of a lifetime. Worth every penny. This was a life changing experience for me and my wife. The center had a great staff, accommodations and the best healthy meals we have ever had. They have it set up so that you will make many friends even though that was not our intention when we went there. The bonds created ended up being an important aspect of our experience. We are planning on going back next year. BTW, age doesn't matter.

Peaceful and natural scenery with lush greenery and a tranquil atmosphere.
