From the time you are picked up at the airport or nearby hotels, shown the introduction video, your arrival at the Rythmia, introduction and checked into your casita…it is impossible to miss the professionalism of this establishment. Honestly, if you have any reservations or misgivings at all, most are put to rest upon your arrival. Retreats are my thing. I typically do them in December because it is at the end of a hectic year of business travel and my downtime before I resume that crazy pace in January/February. My first experience with plant medicine was exactly one year ago at another retreat, so I had no apprehensions and had some idea of what to expect. A friend who attended Rythmia earlier in this year told me “I promise you will not regret it". That was enough for me. |I knew after I took my first class on my first day that I would be returning. Not a question of “If” but “when.” Every retreat I attend offers yoga first thing in the morning, but in the past I rarely attend. I admit it, I’m on vacation and I’d rather sleep in. But Rythmia’s message of “attend all the classes” resonated with me. It is not an insignificant amount of money. It is an investment in me. If I want the miracle, I need to show up do the work. I did. For me that started with Yoga. No matter how tired I was (and I was) I never missed a session. It made me feel so accomplished every single day. Suffice it to say, I didn’t miss a single class either. I took part in all the services that were offered: massage, colonic, volcanic mud bath and even the cold-water plunge which I swore I’d never do. Bonding with fellow guests is a large part of the experience. The power of that many like-minded people is pure magic. |As far as the plant medicine experience goes, you will want for nothing. There are more than enough people on hand to make the experience comfortable. They answered all of your questions, The shamen are all amazing, and by the way, the facilities are immaculately clean. |I must say that I wasn’t feeling like things were progressing fast enough (compared to others) until I was gifted with a class by Dr Jeff. His message to the empath led to my breakthrough miracle on my next to last day. I have never learned more about myself in such a short time. |More than anything, I’ve never been more excited to see what lies ahead of me this coming year and beyond. My friend was right, I did not regret it.
