Seven days to
SHIFT
everything.
What is it?
-
Seven days in a beautiful, safe and comfortable setting in Colombia.
-
A powerful mentoring process with Native Self staff that leads to perceptual breakthrough and healing self-realization, and which is supported by a series of ayahuasca sessions led by an extraordinary and well known indigenous healer, Doña Martha Burgos.
This unique blend of mentored breakthrough processes and sacred indigenous plant medicine is a powerful catalyst, because it not only initiates the process of recovery of the "indigenous self" and a reconnection to the Earth and the cosmos... it also results in a clear, actionable direction and life purpose that is based in a strong, clear and authentic sense of Self.
"I am moved to tears even as I write this. The depth of love and self acceptance that I have found has cracked my entire life wide open, which has been challenging at times, like you said it would.
But the tools and the processes you gave me have helped me to recognize the process for what it is... a process of rebirthing myself... and I feel like I'm beginning a whole new chapter of my life.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"...it awakened love and a sense of connection to the earth and gave me a knowing of who I am and why I am here and... helped me to see that I have everything I need within myself."
Why it helps
Ayahuasca is known for profound experiences which by themselves are… well, profound and amazing. But a profound experience is pretty much useless unless it leads to not only a clear vision and direction for your life, but also empowers you to take action and make the big shifts happen as a result.
This is why people often go home after an aya experience and find themselves struggling to integrate these new, profound insights.
Imagine you have seen a photograph of the most heavenly place on earth. It speaks to every fiber of your being, awakens all these forgotten memories and you realize it is where you are from and that you are meant to live there. But you have no idea where it is in relation to your current location.
How do you get there? Where do you start?
It is unspeakably painful to have tasted a direct experience of your own potential and not know where to start or how to bring it into being. Many people either give up, which leads to massive disillusionment with themselves and life or they keep going back to "look at the photograph" again and again and again. Ayahuasca will give you that priceless awakening glimpse of the "photograph"... the vision of the truth about who we are.
But vision without execution is just hallucination.
That's why we created a simple yet powerful guided breakthrough process to go hand-in-hand with the ayahuasca sessions. By the time you are done you will have everything you need to go back into your life and start taking clear, decisive action that leads you to a life lived from your best Self. It's not just about getting a glimpse of the truth...
"The way that Doña Martha and Carolina hold that sacred space is absolutely amazing. I was going through so much internal sh*t, but I always felt safe and well taken care of."
...it's about going home and living from it.
Who is it for?
Well, if it speaks to you then you should probably do it.
It really is that simple, on the one hand. On the other hand we are doing highly focused processes and it isn't suited to everyone. Use this section as a guide to gauge yourself.
Here's who shouldn't do it:
-
The bucket-listers. If you are just curious about ayahuasca or you want to cross an experience off your bucket list, there are other places you can go where you won't be wasting your money on a guided process to go deeper than you probably even want to go.
-
The fixers. Anyone who wants to come down and work on everyone in the group except themselves. It's distracting, inappropriate, and not welcome in our space. If you have a lot of insights and you want to help people make a shift in their life then you should sign up for our Native Self Startup School and we'll help you bring your gifts to the people who need it and are happy to receive it.
-
The full cups. One of the challenges that we have as "westerners" or non-indigenous people is the great difficulty of listening with an empty cup. The path of indigenous recovery is largely a path of learning how to listen from a space of absolutely nothing. If you already know how it is, we haven't got anything we can offer you. Better you don't come waste your time.
-
The magic pill seekers. Anyone who isn't willing to go home and make the shift happen. At home is where the real work is done, and if you think that a magical week with ayahuasca will suddenly fix what's wrong with your life this isn't for you.
Here's how to tell if it's for you:
-
You're ready to do what it takes to find clarity. Are you willing to face into your own shadows and look at what you have been sweeping under your own rug? Can you take 100% ownership of your experience of life and look honestly at the beliefs and stories that you have been living by? The reward for such courage is clarity and freedom.
-
You want a more accurate sense of purpose for your life. An eagle who mistakes himself for a chicken will spend his life scratching in the dirt for worms. Only when we have a clear sense of Self can we receive an undistorted vision on our life's purpose and meaning. In the course of just 7 days you can start receiving clear guidance on what to dedicate your existence in the service of.
-
You can make a commitment to yourself and trust your own inner voice. Commitment opens the doors of destiny. You don't want to be sitting in a ceremony hut with a cup of ayahuasca in your hands and suddenly doubting the series of decisions you made that brought you here.
Not for me.

This feels right.
