What Our Client Say
Those 9 days have been filled with magic, love and medicine. Don Benigno is the most humble, lovely and happy human I have met and I am sure he is the correct man to help guide me through my spiritual journey. In combination with Deyans knowledge, discipline and presence you will encounter a beautiful alchemy of love, learning and healing. I hope I will have many other opportunities to share with Don Benigno and Deyan as I feel they will be integral part of my journey. Forever grateful for this experience and can’t wait to be back.
Don Benignos essence is one of pure love. He was visited by mother Ayahuasca in a dream at 6 years old and was serving by the time he was 11. His over 70 years of serving are apparent in his mastery in ceremony + over the medicine space.
Sitting before him, receiving perfumes and limpias, I felt like a small child in his care, so safe, so loved, the air embedded with the feeling something magical was happening. Authentic, delightful, knowledgeable, are all the words I would use to describe him. I am forever blessed and grateful for this experience for Don Benigno, for his wife Lluli, for the teachings, for the medicine, for the love. I absolutely recommend this retreat.
Don Benigno y su chacapa han dado un gin 360 en mi espiritu y alma. Su energia es una de las mas puras que he podido experimentar en esta vida. Tan tierno, tan puro, llenito de mucha sabiduria. Siempre dispusto a enseñar, a empoderarnos con su simpleza y podero rezo. Gran maestro ayahuasquero que con su tabaco nos limpiaba y purificaba con mucho amor. Agradecida de poder presenciar su magia, sus cantos y enseñanzas. Las palabras no son suficientes para expresar lo que vivi en Amazon Soma. Familia, hermandad y tribu me llevo de estos 9 dias. Agradecida con mi hermano Deyan por su devocion, esfurzo, enseñanzas y cuidado. Bienafortunada de todas y cada una de sus enseñanzas. Deyan es un gran maestro con la energia de una roca que en todo momentos nos llevaba de la mano, sosteniendonos, guiandonos y compartiendo sus conociemientos sagrados. Gracias Don Benigno, gracias Deyan, Gracias Amazon Soma
Sitting at Amazon Soma was an incredible experince. All of my needs were met, and both the ceremonies and the facilities extended my expectations. I received so much from the teaching of Don Benigno and Deyan, and experienced a healthy degree of challenge while also feeling safe and compfortable. My time here was restful and nourishing, and I look forward to coming back.
I really enjoyed the intimated group, it felt like family. Everything was perfectly balanced and in harmony. We had yoga, classes, great food, and enough time for rest before the ceremonies. Don Benigno is a great person. I felt very safe in his presence, something I don’t feel often. The ceremonies were just as I needed. Deyan is great too, patient and he was there for my needs. Everybody took well care of us and I didn’t miss anything. I really enjoyed my hut, the jungle, the center, the people and the peace. I am missing it already and I hope to come back.
