"Lisa and Megan wove together an experience that felt nothing short of enchanting, an immersion in the mystical essence of the Andes and the untamed wonder of the Amazon basin. Within this sacred space, they cultivated a profound sense of safety, inviting us to explore and express the full spectrum of what it means to be human. Every emotion shared, every story spoken, was held tenderly by landscapes vast enough to contain it, by horses attuned enough to feel it, and by facilitators whose mastery brought it all to life in its deepest form.

I feel profoundly blessed to have walked this path, to have stood alongside extraordinary women whose presence amplified the magic. This retreat is now etched into my being, guiding me toward a life lived with greater vibrancy, openness, and aliveness."

“I felt seen, heard, held, challenged in all the best ways, safe, protected, and empowered. The elements came alive for me in new and surprising ways and it was like falling in love again with earth, wind, fire, water, and the ethereal space between. River rafting on the Napo was fun, playful and reverent for me. The horses, though: What an expansive, heart-opening, relational, magnificent, and truly unforgettable few days with them. Horseback-riding through tall-grass paramo trails in the presence of volcanoes to a pristine water source, epic. Something cracked open in me a couple weeks after returning from Women's Initiation in Ecuador. I am so grateful that when things start to feel heavy, overwhelming, or lonely, I can call upon the friendships I made on that journey.”

“As someone who has always felt on the outside of things and groups, my defense mechanisms and protective boundaries were challenged working with the horses in a positive way. The horse's acknowledgement of my presence gifted me the feeling of acceptance, that I do belong and I am connected to the herd.As I continued to transform from the old self to my new self throughout the week, the magic and ancient wisdom present around us seemed to hold the group and make its presence known through the horses, misty faerie fog, an Amazon rainbow revealing its beauty, and the moonlight shimmering next to a bonfire on the riverbank, reminding us that we are always loved and supported.”

“It’s hard to pick a favorite part of this trip. The ride into the crooks of the mountains – pouring rain – emotionally cleansing – and life renewing. The chance to step into the lungs of the earth, the Amazon… I will always carry in my bones.

So vast. So mysterious. So, teeming with life. Swimming in the tributaries of the Amazon River. The jungle invites you to live in a delicate balance between respect and fun. So, I invite you all to take this journey of faith. Trust the women who have chosen this adventure with you. Put your faith into Lisa and Megan – their crazy, wonderful ideas and GROW!”
