"I had 3 sessions while I was there. Each time, I felt lighter, freer and more in touch with who I really am. I am amazed and reminded that there is a healing spiritual force that can free one of afflictions through faith and receptivity. It’s been over a week now since I left and it is very rare now that I have a nightmare or go down the negative mental spiral. I feel a lot more life in me and I have been given a practice to stay on the path of being true to myself. I recommend this to anyone who wishes to release any kind of affliction - physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.”

"Erin Everett and Adam Laufer are two of the most kind-hearted people that you'll ever meet in this lifetime.
The trip itself is a great experience and being out deep in the woods up in the mountains has a beautiful calming effect on its own. I found myself just basking outside at random times just soaking it all in. The healing itself was an experience. I tried some modern healing for some of the emotional trauma I've dealt with in my life which had mixed results. Nahua healing was new for me and even though I had some understanding of it actually going through the experience is something that I believe everyone in whatever stage of their life should experience it as well. They're more than healers, I can't put everything into works but I went there carrying a ton of unnecessary luggage (stress etc) and left feeling lighter than before and with a clarity that I haven't had in sometime. They help you find the answers within yourself and you'll leave feeling more confident than ever with positive energy that you can bring to others in your life if you choose to do so.” —James Ealey, Pennsylvania

"Many thanks to Adam and Erin for a great experience. There were multiple healing sessions including sweat lodge. The sessions are transformational from a spiritual and physiological perspective. I would recommend this retreat for any issues, i.e. depression, recent loss of a loved one or long-term distress that traditional therapy doesn't seem to lift. I feel significantly lighter mentally and spiritually after the retreat."
—Satish Venkat, digital thought leader, Greer, SC

"I had lost 2 family members earlier this year and was dealing with a lot of grief. I have tried modern medicine and other ways of trying to heal. This seemed like a unique retreat and a different approach to healing. The food was healthy and very delicious. After the Temazcalli, I felt refreshed and renewed. Slept very well both nights I was there. As a Christian, it’s hard to open yourself up to different ideas of spirituality but this experience enhanced my relationship with God and his creation. The teachings and healings offered are built on a foundation of Faith and belief in a higher power."
—Noell Mach, social worker, Indiana

“As a Christian (Methodist), I was hesitant to book this retreat at first. I am so glad I did! Everything was about God, just from an ancient catholic-like perspective. Adam and Erin were so kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. This is truly an authentic experience I will carry for my entire life.”
—Sarah from Ohio

“Our Zoom session gave Paul and I the opportunity to discuss some underlying issues as well as brought to light one of each of our underlying patterns that has been an issue in our marriage.

"[Adam and Erin and their administrator Billie] made me feel very welcome, very safe. Love the home cooked food on the stove at arrival, the comfortable sleeping space, the freedom to be with people or not. I loved following the intuition of the healers for the order of things and trusting them with the process."
