I decided to try Casa Del Sol because I needed a break from a long period of emotional stagnation. The retreat’s setting is incredible—imagine waking up surrounded by the vibrant sounds and sights of Ecuador’s wild nature. The overall vibe is authentic, and it immediately takes you out of your daily stresses.
The ceremonies themselves were powerful and did trigger some serious inner shifts. The facilitators were clearly experienced and created a safe environment for raw, unfiltered healing. However, I did notice that the integration process felt a bit too standardized at times. I was hoping for more tailored, one-on-one support to help me process the very personal revelations I experienced. Also, while the communal meals were fresh and healthy, they sometimes lacked variety, which made long days feel a bit monotonous.
Still, the experience was transformative. I walked away with valuable insights and a sense of renewed hope, even if some parts felt a bit generic. For anyone willing to work through a few minor imperfections for the sake of deep, authentic healing, Casa Del Sol is a worthwhile journey.
I went to Casa Del Sol expecting a breakthrough after years of battling inner demons, and while I did get some powerful insights, my overall experience was uneven. The natural setting is undeniably beautiful—lush, immersive, and steeped in the energy of the Ecuadorian jungle. The ceremonies were potent, triggering intense emotional releases that I know have the potential to heal deep wounds.
However, I was left with mixed feelings about the overall execution. There were times when the facilitators seemed engaged and supportive, but at other moments I felt that the process was disorganized. The integration sessions, which are crucial for processing such intense experiences, often felt rushed and impersonal. On top of that, the accommodations, though authentic, were very minimal and didn’t provide enough comfort after long days of emotional work.
In the end, while the medicine itself is undeniably powerful, the inconsistent follow-up and sparse amenities left me feeling that the retreat could have been much more cohesive. If you’re up for an intense experience and can handle a few inconsistencies, you might still gain something valuable—but for me, the journey was a mixed bag.
My experience at Casa Del Sol was deeply transformative, yet it wasn’t without its moments of frustration. The retreat’s setting in Ecuador is absolutely stunning—a genuine escape into nature that immediately calms the mind. I went in hoping to break free from long-held emotional patterns, and the ceremonies delivered some truly powerful breakthroughs.
The facilitators were professional and supportive, guiding the group with an even hand. However, I did feel that sometimes the integration sessions were too group-oriented; I craved a bit more personalized follow-up to fully process the intense emotions that surfaced. There were also minor issues with the accommodations—while rustic charm is part of the appeal, a few extra touches of comfort would have helped after long, intense days.
Despite these setbacks, the healing I experienced was undeniable. I left Casa Del Sol with new insights and a genuine desire to continue the work I started there. If you’re prepared for deep inner work and can tolerate a few rough edges, this retreat offers profound growth.
Man, what an experience! I went to Casa Del Sol after hitting rock bottom, and I can honestly say it changed everything. The moment I arrived, the lush, vibrant surroundings took my breath away—it’s like nature itself was giving me a big, healing hug. The vibe is raw and honest, no frills, just pure, unfiltered healing.
The ceremonies were intense. I had moments where I felt every ounce of pent-up emotion surge out, and it was both terrifying and exhilarating. The facilitators were real—no sugarcoating, just genuine support and guidance that helped me navigate through the overwhelming waves of the experience. I remember one session under a full moon where I felt like I was seeing my entire life’s story in one powerful flash. The group integration afterwards was like a family huddle, sharing our scars and hopes in a way that left me feeling less alone.
I left Casa Del Sol with a completely reset mindset and a newfound belief that I could rebuild my life. If you’re ready for a raw, transformative journey that’ll challenge you and ultimately set you free, this retreat is where it’s at.
I came to Casa Del Sol feeling completely lost—years of emotional baggage had me spiraling, and nothing seemed to help. From the moment I arrived, the retreat’s raw beauty and genuine vibe hit me hard in the best way possible. The property is nestled in the Ecuadorian jungle, with sunlight filtering through lush leaves and a sense of ancient magic in the air. Every detail, from the rustic cabins to the shared meals made with local ingredients, felt intentional and healing.
The ceremonies were nothing short of a spiritual rebirth. I experienced intense moments where tears mixed with laughter, and I could feel layers of pain melting away. The facilitators, who clearly know their craft, guided us with a compassionate yet firm touch that kept me grounded even when the medicine hit me like a tidal wave. I still remember one evening when, in a quiet circle, the collective energy helped me face memories I’d long buried—and come out stronger for it.
I left Casa Del Sol with a renewed sense of purpose and inner peace. It wasn’t just an escape; it was a complete transformation. If you’re looking for a place that forces you to confront your truth and then gently lifts you into a brighter future, this retreat is an absolute must.
