What our clients say:

”I had the opportunity to participate in my very first medicine retreat with Aurum. I was nervous—'what will happen?', 'how will I feel?', 'will I know anyone there?'.
I have social anxiety and have trouble interacting in groups of any size. It helped that there were zoom prep meetings before the retreat, so when I got there, nobody felt like strangers.
I found myself wandering off during the retreat to be alone and they respected my space, but still checked on me to make sure I was in a safe place. They made me feel like I was always included and appreciated that I was there. I was never pushed to participate, but the more time went on, I was drawn in by these amazing human beings. No one person was more important than the next.
This is not a magic camp, they don't wave a wand and you magically get healed. The facilitators guided us and helped us identify, name and find loving ways to find answers that are hidden within yourself. The space holders lovingly helped me see the trauma that I held and walked by my side to see it from many angles, prompting me to ask myself questions so that I could face it with as much love and information as possible. I learned, it is not a blame game, but an understanding with love and purpose. I left with a new found strength of feeling in my heart—not a knowing in my brain—that I am the solution, we are all the medicine. We are together in all of this. I realized that what I had assumed was a weakness is actually one of my greatest strengths.
Everyone in the world needs help at some point, and often we don't know how. Sometimes we have an idea of areas we would like to grow, but then other things come up to be seen that we weren't aware even needed healing.
If you have ever been curious about plant medicine healing, I hope this testimony reaches you and touches you in a way that might help you say yes. If something is calling you to go, please do, you are being guided, trust your heart.
There is so much more that can be said and I know I didn't even cover the amazing location and delicious food. I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart all of the facilitators and the participants that were at the retreat. I would do it again in a heartbeat. We have been and will always be connected. I LOVE you all.”

- Louise, Harlem, NY

”I have been completely blessed these past few days of my retreat. As a newbie, I have to say it is one of the most profound experiences of my life and I consider everyone on my retreat "family". Thank you for helping me find such comfort in the experience.”

- Adam, Denver, CO

”The atmosphere of this retreat allowed me to show up in raw form. A friend told me that sometimes we need to be surrounded not by weapons and armor for protection, but rather feathers, made of softness and kindness. You provided that for me. Thank you for being my feathers.”

- Rakel, Costa Rica

”I don't know how many years it has been since I have cried. I forgot how to cry and my heart was shriveled and dry. The exercises we did brought the tears and they were like rain. I cried all the way home from the workshop and it was fantastic. I remembered how to get in touch with the things that are important to me. Thank you for your kindness.”

- Shirvani, Los Angeles
