What makes your Ayahuasca retreats in Spain unique?

From Gaia for You hosts intimate Ayahuasca retreats in southern Spain with a maximum of 6 participants. Our family home is also the retreat space, creating a warm, personal environment. We personally guide every retreat, integrating ancestral plant medicines, holistic therapies, and deep integration practices for authentic, safe, and transformative experiences.

How many people join your retreats?

Group retreats are intentionally small—up to 6 participants—so everyone receives close, personal support before, during, and after ceremonies. For an even more private journey, we also offer exclusive private retreats for individuals, couples, or small groups.

Do you only work with Ayahuasca?

Ayahuasca is at the heart of our work, and we also integrate San Pedro (Huachuma), Kambo, and Rapéh when aligned. Each medicine supports different aspects of healing—emotional, spiritual, physical, and energetic—and can be combined to create a holistic path tailored to the group or individual.

Are your retreats safe?

Yes. Safety is our highest priority. We conduct medical and personal screening, keep groups small, and guide ceremonies with experienced facilitators. We also emphasize thorough preparation and post-retreat integration so you feel supported at every step.

Where are you located?

We are based in Alhaurín el Grande, Málaga (southern Spain), surrounded by nature and 30 minutes from Málaga International Airport. The setting is peaceful, intimate, and easy to reach from anywhere in Europe.

Do you offer private or couples retreats?

Yes. In addition to small group retreats, we host exclusive private retreats for individuals or couples, special couples retreats limited to 3 couples, and business executive & team-building retreats. These experiences are designed and guided by us with a deeply personal touch.

How do I know which retreat is right for me?

If you’re unsure, fill in our contact form and share your intentions. We’ll personally guide you toward the best fit—whether a small group retreat, a private or couples retreat, or microdosing support—based on your needs and experience.

What is microdosing and do you offer it?

Yes. We offer microdosing guidance with Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and Rapéh. Microdosing involves very small, non-psychoactive amounts to support clarity, creativity, emotional balance, and daily integration—while remaining fully present in everyday life.

What is the integration process after a retreat?

Integration begins after the retreat. We provide follow-up guidance and practical tools—such as reflection practices, lifestyle recommendations, and holistic support—so you can embody the teachings of the medicine and create lasting change.

Can I attend a retreat if I’ve never tried plant medicine before?

Absolutely. Many participants are first-timers. We offer thorough preparation, a safe and supportive environment, and close care during ceremonies. Experienced seekers also find our intimate approach deepens their process.

Are your retreats legal in Spain?

We work with transparency and respect in a private setting in Spain, honoring the ancestral traditions of these medicines and prioritizing safety and responsibility. We provide clear guidance so participants understand our framework.

What kind of holistic therapies are included?

Depending on the retreat, we weave in sound healing, breathwork, meditation, yoga, energy work, body therapies, and nature connection. These practices support and balance the plant medicine work on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.

At From Gaia for You, we host intimate Ayahuasca retreats in southern Spain, limited to a maximum of 6 participants. Unlike large commercial retreat centers, our home is also our retreat space, allowing us to welcome guests into a warm, family-like environment. Every retreat is guided personally by us, combining ancestral plant medicines such as Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and Kambo, holistic therapies, and integration practices that extend far beyond the ceremonies themselves.

Our Ayahuasca group retreats are intentionally small, with a maximum of 6 participants. We believe that healing happens most deeply in intimate and safe settings, where every individual feels seen, supported, and cared for. Small groups allow us to dedicate more personal attention to each participant before, during, and after the ceremonies. Standard group Ayahuasca retreats host up to 6 participants, while Business Executive Retreats are limited to 4 participants, allowing for extra personalized attention and support. The Men’s Retreat is also designed for a small, supportive group to foster authentic brotherhood, connection, and transformative healing.
While Ayahuasca is at the heart of our work, we also integrate other ancestral plant medicines including San Pedro (Huachuma), Kambo, Bufo Alvarius, Cacao, Tobacco, Natural plant and Tobacco purges, Rapéh, Sananga. These medicines complement each other beautifully: Ayahuasca is known for its deep spiritual and emotional healing, San Pedro opens the heart and expands awareness, Kambo works as a powerful physical and energetic cleanse, and Rapéh brings grounding, focus, and clarity. Each retreat may include one or a combination of these, depending on what is aligned with the group or individual. This way, we offer a holistic path to healing that works on body, mind, and spirit.
Yes — safety is our highest priority. Every participant undergoes a medical and personal screening before joining, so we can ensure there are no contraindications with health conditions or medications. During the retreat, ceremonies are guided by experienced facilitators who carry deep knowledge of the medicines and the healing process. We also keep groups small so we can give close attention to everyone’s needs. Beyond ceremony safety, we also place strong emphasis on preparation and integration so that each participant feels supported before, during, and after the retreat.

Each retreat is different, but we often weave in sound healing, breathwork, meditation, yoga, energy work, and body therapies. These practices are not just add-ons, but essential tools that support the plant medicine experience, helping to balance the body, calm the mind, and open the heart.

Yes, we also offer micro-dosing guidance with Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and Rapéh.

Microdosing can also support integration after a retreat, helping you stay connected to the medicine and bring its teachings into your everyday life.

Integration is one of the most important aspects of working with plant medicines. After your retreat, the real work begins — bringing the insights, healing, and transformation into your everyday life. At From Gaia for You, we support you with integration practices, follow-up guidance, and holistic tools to help you stay grounded and aligned. We encourage reflection, lifestyle adjustments, and ongoing connection with us, so the retreat becomes not just a temporary experience, but a turning point in your journey of growth.
Preparation is an important part of the journey. We recommend following a clean diet (dieta) before your retreat, limiting processed foods, alcohol, and stimulants. This helps purify the body and attune the mind to the medicine. Emotional and mental preparation is equally important: setting clear intentions, journaling, or practicing meditation can support your process. We provide all participants with detailed preparation guidelines and are available to answer questions beforehand, so you arrive ready, grounded, and open for the experience.
Safety is our priority. Certain health conditions and medications are not compatible with Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Kambo, or Bufo Alvarius. These include SSRIs, MAOIs, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe heart conditions, or some psychiatric diagnoses.

Every participant completes a medical screening, and if needed we arrange a call to share our insights together and decide. We look at each participant as an individual and will do our absolute best to support everyone in the best and safest way possible.
One month before your retreat, you’ll receive clear preparation guidelines including diet, lifestyle adjustments, and intention-setting practices. Physically, we recommend a clean diet free of alcohol, processed foods, and stimulants. Mentally, journaling, meditation, and self-reflection help create the right mindset for the experience.

You’ll also have a personal preparation call to answer your questions and give you personalized guidelines for your weeks of preparation. The support start before the retreat and this is what makes From Gaia for you very unique.
No, language is not a barrier. Our retreats attract an international community, and English is the main language used. The ceremonies and teachings are always delivered in a way that ensures everyone feels included and understood.
For participants who feel more comfortable in Spanish, German, Swiss, Dutch, Italian we can also provide support and translation since we are fluent in all of these languages.
You’ll stay in our peaceful home surrounded by nature, with comfortable shared rooms designed to make you feel safe and relaxed. All meals are freshly prepared, home-cooked, and supportive of your process—mostly plant-based, clean, and nourishing. We avoid heavy or processed foods so your body is in the best state to work with the medicine.
