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 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 🫂🥹🫶🏾❤️Posted on Google DAMIAN T.

El retiro de cuatro días (tres noches de ceremonias) ha sido, sin duda, una de las experiencias más profundas, transformadoras y enriquecedoras de mi vida. Me cuesta encontrar palabras para describir todo lo vivido. Tanto Fransie, como guía principal, como Raúl y Marcelo - guardianes de la ceremonia - han demostrado una empatía y una dedicación excepcionales, cuidándonos en cada momento y haciendo todo lo posible (y más) para que la experiencia fuera realmente única. Su cercanía, respeto y amor han marcado profundamente todo el proceso. La organización ha sido impecable, en un lugar precioso e inmejorable, con una atmósfera verdaderamente especial: el fuego, la música en directo, los talleres de respiración, el yoga y, especialmente, las sesiones de integración después de las ceremonias - tan necesarias y tan cuidadosamente preparadas - han llevado toda la experiencia a otro nivel. También la espectacular comida ha sido clave para completar el conjunto, aportando calidez, cuidado y un toque muy especial a cada día. Fransie, mil gracias por guiarnos en este viaje tan increíble; tu música es pura magia, especialmente en directo. Raúl, gracias por la inolvidable sesión de masaje, me llevaste a otro nivel. Marcelo, gracias por ayudarme a conectar con mis emociones y liberar cargas que llevaba años arrastrando. Ju, gracias por cada plato preparado con tanto amor. —————————————— The three-day retreat has been, without a doubt, one of the most profound, transformative, and enriching experiences of my life. I find it hard to put into words everything I lived through. Fransie, as the main guide, together with Raúl and Marcelo - the ceremony guardians - showed exceptional empathy and dedication, taking care of us at every moment and going above and beyond to make the experience truly unique. Their closeness, respect, and love deeply shaped the entire process. The organization was impeccable, set in a beautiful and unbeatable location, with a truly special atmosphere: the fire, the live music, the breathwork workshops, the yoga sessions, and especially the integration sessions after the ceremonies - so necessary and thoughtfully prepared - elevated the whole experience to another level. The incredible food also played a key role in completing the experience, bringing warmth, care, and a very special touch to each day. Fransie, thank you so much for guiding us through such an amazing journey; your music is pure magic, especially live.

Amazing Sweet ExperiencePosted on Google Michael y Mayra M&MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ha sido una experiencia muy maravillosa. Con el cuidado de Francis, Y de todo el equipo. La comida deliciosa, El lugar en la naturaleza. Fue demasiado hermoso. GraciasPosted on Google Hadi KammingaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Participé en un retiro de Mahanse de tres días, con tres ceremonias. Fue una experiencia increíble, aunque nada fácil. Cada persona vive la suya, y no hay que tener expectativas. El entorno, de todas las maneras, tiene que ser el adecuado y en este retiro me sentí sobre todo segura y acompañada. La sabiduría y experiencia del chamán se sienten en cada momento, creando un espacio seguro y auténtico. También hay que mencionar la música durante la ceremonia (Fransie, Lelo y Raul y sus guitarras), me guió mucho en este viaje tan revelador, mágico y extraño a la vez. El masaje de conexión espiritual de Marcelo fue una experiencia única, sanadora y muy profunda. Me voy con una sensación de claridad, equilibrio y conexión que perdura en el tiempo. Totalmente recomendable!!Posted on Google KokoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10 out of 5 stars 😁 Last June, I attended an ayahuasca retreat in Barcelona, and it was an absolutely extraordinary experience. The ceremony was guided by Fransie, with the assistance of his two fellow buddies, Raul and Marcelo, whose support and presence were invaluable throughout the process. It was my third time participating, and the quality has been consistently exceptional — so much so that I am already planning to return for the fourth time this coming March. Everything about the retreat was handled with great care and professionalism. The apartments and rooms were comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully arranged, creating a peaceful and safe environment to rest and integrate the experience. The food was nourishing, well prepared, and perfectly aligned with the retreat process. The ceremonies themselves were deeply powerful, respectful, and well guided. The facilitators and staff were truly amazing — attentive, supportive, and clearly experienced. Their presence made a huge difference, helping everyone feel safe, grounded, and fully supported throughout the journey. Overall, this retreat was extraordinarily well organized and profoundly meaningful. From the setting to the people, everything was of exceptionally high quality. I can wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone seeking a serious, well-held, and transformative retreat.AHO
