I Didn’t Have a Clue That I Needed Help
We are here to exist and enjoy this life. It’s absolutely a beautiful thing.

Heavenly Peace
Words are very powerful but some things cannot be described, only felt. The love, compassion, attention, sincerity, experience, and service given are unmatched. Abundant in all ways, safety and security are paramount and present the entire time. What a vessel and opportunity given to heal, feel, remember, grow and cultivate the love that is present and give witness so others may follow. Nothing but love and appreciation to Sil and all of the staff and facilitators who made such an experience available. Reverence, gratitude, love and peace pour from my healing soul as my appreciation cannot be expressed enough. Much love family!

Deep Belonging
My experience I recently spent with the Sacred Vine community is invaluable to me. They are so precious, and helped me in ways I feel I can never repay them. The soft, kindness and gentleness of their hands and hearts in my journey made me feel so welcomed, safe and finally at home. Between their guidance and love, and Mama Aya’s time with me, I have began to feel a sense of deep belonging and love within that I will cherish and work to strengthen and share with the world for the rest of my life.
I feel as though they helped me release and reset all of my pain, trauma and deep internal struggles with myself and the world and in such a divine way. Everything from the deep respect and consideration they showed for the medicine, the music and singing, the dancing, the nourishment of my soul they provided in all the ways you could imagine, and their warm embraces made me feel like I was in heaven. In the safest place I’ve ever felt. I cannot wait to come back and do it all again with them, my family. The community I have joined by having this experience with them feels like the most sacred family I could ever know. The wholeness in my heart and soul is bountiful, and I’m so blessed to have been given the opportunity to experience the beginning of my journey with Mama Aya with the sweet souls of Sacred Vine.

First timer
This was my first retreat and it blew away all expectations. I was dancing in my seat the whole flight home.
What amazing group of people that put this together as a family. Immense gratitude for the wisdom shared and the compassion that allowed me to receive it; for the guidance on the journey and the language to interpret the message. Beyond words, beyond expectations. Thank you all for what you allowed me to explore in I myself.
Beautiful welcome! Big WOW.
Only joy.

Life changing experience at Sacred Vine
My weekend at Sacred Vine was inspiring, warming, loving, welcoming, healing, and truly life-changing. Beyond the ritual and the sacred medicine itself, the experience that the Silvania and her guardians provided was exceptional.
They were mindful, respectful, and deeply caring—always present, always attentive—while still honoring everyone’s personal journey and space. Their sense of responsibility and accountability after the ceremonies, along with their commitment to ongoing healing through integration, was nothing short of astounding.
Sacred Vine makes you feel like you’re part of a family, a community, a tribe. That in itself was something special—the energy, the love, the connection shared among everyone was profoundly moving.
I couldn’t be happier that my first experience with this kind of medicine and retreat was with Sacred Vine. I encourage anyone and everyone to come experience it for themselves. If every person in the world took part in a ceremony like this even once in their life, I truly believe the world would be a better place.

Beautiful Retreat
This was my first time doing Ayahuasca and I couldn’t have picked a better place to have my first journey. The love and support from everyone, including everyone else journeying with me. It was a huge beautiful family. The ceremonies were so unbelievably beautiful. Our Shaman, Ixá was magical on his flute and guitar. The other singers and drummers they brought to participate were equally as magical.
If you’re still trying to figure some things out in your life go journey with Ayahuasca and The Sacred Vine Church, you will leave your retreat with a deep knowing.

Possibly The Single Most Important Event of My Life
Trying to find the words are impossible to conjure as there are none that exist in the English language to represent the power of this experience. I have been searching for peace for so long and failing over and over (no matter what I tried…….which ranged from relationships, church, higher education, career, and unfortunately even drugs and alcohol). I felt like I was wandering in the desert with no idea where I was going. After experiencing The Sacred Vine’s Ayahuasca Retreat, I found exactly what I was looking for……..me. If you feel the call to do this then I hope you will listen to yourself and give this experience a try. I’ve always heard the phrase, “It’s better to jump than to fall.” Well, that is exactly what I did and I was embraced by the most amazing staff you could ask for as well as the most healing journey of my life. I’ve always been uncomfortable in my own thoughts and presence and now I cannot wait to experience this life with me by my side. Thank you to all the amazing women and men that serve and lead this experience. You all are truly angels among us. Haux Haux.

Most significant experience of my life.
My wife and I went to a weekend ceremony. Without getting into details of our experience. We will be doing this every 6 months or so. The tribe, guardians and helpers were amazing. We felt safe and like we mattered. Like we were actually family and there to be healed.
