Lighthouse is the place!

I had a calling to go to the jungle to partake in the medicine and so I spent a long time trying to find a spot that seemed suitable for me. I settled on Lighthouse and did not regret it one bit.

First about the center. The main selling point for me to be honest is that they keep their attendance low. 8 max I believe. A lot of the retreats I was looking at max out at like 20-35 people to even higher. Also based on the pics and reviews it looked like a nice combo of rustic jungle vibes but still comfortable and it turned out to be just that. The place is 50 miles up the river and secluded and off grid. nothing around but trees and animals. I was in heaven.
I spent 2 weeks at the retreat and the first week was 5 people (we all had a very nice connection together and spent many hours around the table having long in depth discussions. I appreciate them all dearly for being apart of my journey) and the second was just 4 so it was very intimate and quiet (the way I wanted it). The whole team was simply wonderful and I felt so safe and comfortable. Jino and the whole team there were clearly one big family and it really seemed they all cared a lot about the service they were there to provide. Christian and Lady were our main “minders” for the duration and I cant thank them enough for all the care and love and support they offered us. I saw them as true angels and I just have so much admiration and appreciation for them. The food was simple as it should be for the dieta but clearly prepared with a lot of love and care. The cooks Blanquita and Yoko did a wonderful job.
Another part of it I was a little hesitant about was how would the Maestro be? I had heard that it can be a little hit and miss at some places but he turned out to be the man. Maestro Antenor is from a family of traditional Maestros (I actually purchased a book about his father who was very well known shaman in the amazon) and I have a newfound respect for the whole tradition. Learning about him and the other Maestros and what they do filled me with absolute awe. These are truly Mystical people that can very clearly access realms and touch places that we cannot fathom. I was admittedly a little skeptical going into it but feeling and witnessing the things I did in my time there all that skepticism has melted away completely. Maestro Antenor helped me greatly on my very difficult journey and I cannot be any more grateful for his guidance, wisdom, confidence and protection throughout it all.

Now to the medicine part of it. Wow! Its probably a cliche but I have to say that this was truly Life changing for me and a real turning point in my life. I went there with clear intentions and questions and they were all answered and more. I did 6 ceremonies and they were all strong and profound and very different each time. It really is a journey and it can feel very challenging at times but trust the process. This is a truly powerful medicine and a journey probably not for the faint of heart but I urge you if you feel the calling of Mother Ayahuasca please heed it. Go with an open heart and mind and you can have the ability to truly shift your existence and to really self-actualize. My advice would be to take the preparation seriously. Don’t take lightly the Diet, meditation and restrictions leading into it. Write things down, clear your mind and have really solid intentions and Mother Aya will connect with you deeply and you can experience real change.

All in all I whole heartedly recommend Lighthouse if you are seeking a place to partake in this medicine. I have nothing negative to say. Ivan, Josh and the whole team clearly have their hearts in the running of this center and I got no bad vibes from anything during the process.

Peace and Love to all.
