THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR YOU
If you've done a lot of inner work, yet…
- You still find yourself repeating the same patterns, even though you understand them.
- Your life works on the outside, but something doesn't feel fully connected on the inside.
- You feel disconnected from your deeper purpose or direction in life.
- You've grown a lot but not at the level you know is possible for you.
- You sense that something in you is ready for a deeper shift. A real one.
- You feel there's still a click to be made on your spiritual dimension.

Why many say it's a lifechanger?
You will reconnect with yourself in a deeper way.
Not just understanding who you are, but actually feeling present in your own life again.
You will release emotional weight you may have carried for years.
Experiences, patterns, or family dynamics that have quietly shaped how you think, feel, and relate to others.
You will gain clarity about what truly matters to you.
Many people leave with a clearer sense of direction and a stronger connection with their decisions.
You will begin to feel life more deeply again.
Not just analyzing your emotions, but experiencing them with openness, presence, and authenticity.
You will reconnect with your spiritual dimension.
Not as an idea or belief, but as a direct and grounded experience of connection.
You will return with a renewed sense of meaning and motivation.
When internal blocks begin to dissolve, energy, purpose, and inspiration naturally start to reappear.
More than 250 man and women have been guided through our work.
Mahanse was created by ceremonial guides trained in both Western holistic therapy and the Amazonian tradition of Ayahuasca, specifically within a Colombian lineage. Our retreats are the result of years of personal commitment and professional experience.
The Place
Private Villa in Cerro Tusa
A carefully selected space surrounded by dense nature, rivers, and the constant presence of the forest. Away from every day rush — and fully held.
The Guides
Not facilitators.
Lineage holders.
This work is held by Shamans from the ancestral Cofán lineage. Their knowledge is embodied through decades of practice.
ANCESTRAL COFÁN LINEAGE · COLOMBIAN AMAZON
Taita José Atahualpa
Son of the late Taita Querubín — Shaman of the Shamans in Colombia was raised from a very early age into the practices of his father, as a traditional Curandero. He prepares his own medicine and holds ceremonies with love, care, precision and integrity, carrying a depth that only comes from lived experience within a lineage. He is now the heir of the legacy his father left, as one of the most important cabildos from Putumayo.
ANCESTRAL COFÁN LINEAGE · COLOMBIAN AMAZON
Taita Samith Osorio
A lifetime dedicated to the path of plant medicine, he started the path of Yagé (Ayahuasquero) 17 years ago, when he moved to the Amazon to learn with the late Taita Guillermo Lucitante. Grounded, precise, deeply committed to the well-being of each participant, we’ve learnt from Samith the attitude and energy for a good work. Even after several nights cooking and working, when everyone is tired, Samith always has a smile.
MAHANSE FOUNDER · CEREMONY GUIDE
Fransie N. García
Fransie guides the ceremonies at Mahanse Retreats in Spain, works with Yagé (Ayahuasca), and carries the musical and vocal dimension of the retreat. His path has been shaped by years of experience, deep study, and the accompaniment of hundreds of people through guided processes. Fransie makes this trip once a year, so you can meet experienced shamans, the ones he trust and respects and though him.

Testimonials
Posted on Google Stephanie ReidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This retreat was a truly meaningful experience, one that helped me uncover what I most needed in this moment, and the team gently guided me towards that through a mix of spiritual, mental, and physical practices. The facilitating team supported everyone along the way, not by providing the answers, but by giving the group the space and the tools to help us find it ourselves. Part of that process was learning to become aware of what needs processing, and how to set down some of the weight we have been carrying throughout life, and realizing it is not as heavy as it feels sometimes. It gave me a real sense of how I should feel about myself on a day to day basis, and left me with takeaways to carry back into everyday life. What made it even more meaningful was doing this alongside others. I am deeply grateful to the team for their support, and to the group for sharing this journey with open hearts and minds with plenty of laughter along the way ❤️. Together, we faced our shadows and fears, and through the openness of sharing them, realized they often are not as bad as they seem. Aho! ✨Posted on Google Jessica FernandezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It's hard to find the words to describe what Mahanse Retreats has meant to me. The healing that took place through the ayahuasca ceremonies, together with the outstanding care provided by Fransie, Raul and Lelo, alongside the delicious food cooked by Ju and her wonderful helper, created a life-changing experience that I will forever cherish . I also couldn't think of a better place to hold the retreat. The house we stayed in and its beautiful surroundings made the experience even more magical, if that's even possible. Fransie, Lelo and Raul created a sacred space where we felt safe, supported and cared for at all times, allowing us to go inwards and fully embrace our self-discovery journey. The music played by Fransie added an extra layer of magic to the ceremonies, and dancing to it helped heal parts of me that, unconsciously, also needed tending. The fire, so carefully tended by Raul, was another essential part of the experience. It became a warm refuge for many of us, as well as a portal to... places. In just four days, a dozen strangers became family. Caring for one another and laughing together quickly became the norm. If I had to describe Mahanse Retreats in just a few words, they would be: professionalism, care, healing, magic, safety, love and gratitude. Thank you for what you have created, Fransie, Raul and Lelo. I truly can't wait to join another retreat with you, continue learning from you, and keep growing. 🫂 So much love for you all! 🩷Posted on Google Pol van HamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

If you feel called to this journey, I can’t recommend it enough. Fransie creates a space where you feel completely safe, supported, and deeply cared for. The love and intention he puts into every detail can be felt throughout the entire retreat. His calm presence, wisdom, and the confidence with which he holds the space show how deeply prepared he is to guide others through such profound experiences. The way he looks into your eyes makes you feel truly seen. This retreat touched my heart in ways I never expected, and I will carry this experience with me for the rest of my life. 🐆Posted on Google Isabel ArtazaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t even put into words how incredible this experience was. In my 30 years of life I have never experienced an environment & experience that brought me so much peace, healing, grounding and love. It’s evident that Fransie & his team (Raul & Marcelo) put so much thought and care into these ceremonies which really helps you feel at ease & safe. The masia was beautiful and the food that was cooked every single day was probably some of the most delicious and nutritious food I’ve had in my life! Thank you for everything 🙏🏽✨Posted on Google jacqui FairhurstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. How do you put into words an experience that feels life changing. This retreat was one of the most meaningful gifts I have ever received and one I chose to give myself. Set in the beautiful Catalonian countryside, the retreat offers a perfect balance of space, peace, and connection. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, welcomed and genuinely cared for. The plant-based food was exceptional, prepared with love care and attention. The optional massage and healing is intuitive and like nothing I have experienced before. The ceremonies are held with incredible wisdom , integrity, love, and respect. Francie Marcelo and Rahul have a visible and felt connection creating an environment where I felt completely supported throughout my journey. I arrived as a stranger and left feeling part of a beautiful growing family of healing hearts. The level of care extends far beyond the retreat, with integration and aftercare support that goes above and beyond. For anyone considering their first ayahuasca journey, or who are looking for a space to continue their healing path, I cannot recommend this retreat highly enough. I left holding lessons, connections and deep gratitude and a knowing that for me this ls the beginning of an ongoing journey and changing relationship with myself, I have no doubt that I will be returning. 🙏🏻Posted on Google Ann GathoniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mahanse plant medicine retreat is not just a place or a name, it is a space that called me back to myself . Back to my core, my sense of belonging, and the freedom to be exactly who I am. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into an atmosphere of warmth, care, and presence. The nourishing food prepared by Juu was made with so much love, and every meal felt like part of the healing experience. The music by Fransie spoke directly to my soul, touching feelings, memories, and parts of my being that words cannot fully describe. As my first Ayahuasca retreat experience, I could not have asked for anything more beautiful. It felt safe, expansive, grounding, and deeply transformative. I left feeling more connected to myself, more whole, and deeply grateful. The whole team does an incredible deep work, from the gentle guidance, to the massage therapists Marcello and Raul that each is deeply connected to the whole retreat. I’m beyond grateful and I will attend the retreat again. I am beyond grateful to the whole team for the amazing deep work you do, thank you beautiful souls, with so much love and light,Hannah 🫂🥹🫶🏾❤️
