“When I came to the retreat, I had just came out of a marriage that left me feeling torn to shreds, beaten down, used, betrayed and disillusioned with others, life and God. I had already been in therapy for a year and while I was on the upswing of picking myself back up together again, I was trapped in a loop of mental chatter. I was beating myself up with “should have’s”, wanting to change the past, nightmares, hyper-vigilance etc… that I couldn’t seem to get out of.

Adam and Erin gave me hope that there are truly kind and authentic people in the world and I felt truly cared for and were interested in my journey. They treated my daughter and I with so much hospitality. Our stay in the cabin brought a much needed peaceful environment.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with the healing and it was unlike anything I had ever experienced but I was open and receptive. Adam took his time to understand and relate to me in a way that was respectful to where I was at in my faith. He was mindful to cater the ceremony to my personal needs. They were even able to identify my foot pain without me saying anything.

I had 3 sessions while I was there. Each time, I felt lighter, freer and more in touch with who I really am. I am amazed and reminded that there is a healing spiritual force that can free one of afflictions through faith and receptivity. It’s been over a week now since I left and it is very rare now that I have a nightmare or go down the negative mental spiral. I feel a lot more life in me and I have been given a practice to stay on the path of being true to myself.

I recommend this to anyone who wishes to release any kind of affliction - physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.”

"Outstanding hosts! My temazcalli experience with Adam and my traditional healing session with Erin were both exceptional. Erin is very intuitive. Both were instrumental in helping me release old deep-rooted negative energy. Adam and Erin are good people doing good things."

—Dale King

"Many thanks to Adam and Erin for a great experience. There were multiple healing sessions including sweat lodge. The sessions are transformational from a spiritual and physiological perspective. I would recommend this retreat for any issues, i.e. depression, recent loss of a loved one or long-term distress that traditional therapy doesn't seem to lift. I feel significantly lighter mentally and spiritually after the retreat."

I had lost 2 family members earlier this year and was dealing with a lot of grief.

I have tried modern medicine and other ways of trying to heal. This seemed like a unique retreat and a different approach to healing.

The food was healthy and very delicious. After the Temazcalli, I felt refreshed and renewed. Slept very well both nights I was there.

As a Christian, it’s hard to open yourself up to different ideas of spirituality but this experience enhanced my relationship with God and his creation. The teachings and healings offered are built on a foundation of Faith and belief in a higher power.

—Noell Mach, social worker, Indiana

“As a Christian (Methodist), I was hesitant to book this retreat at first. I am so glad I did! Everything was about God, just from an ancient catholic-like perspective. Adam and Erin were so kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. This is truly an authentic experience I will carry for my entire life.”

In this audio experience, a patient tells the story of what a traditional healing session with Adam and Erin is like.

“The healing work with Erin has helped me feel more connected to my life and the world around me.”

“The work with Erin has impacted my healing journey in that the third session was a breakthrough session for me… The work with Erin, especially the soul retrieval session with Erin, has helped me feel more settled. And it affected things like my sleep; I started sleeping better. …I feel more settled in my body, and that helps me in how I show up for other people….The soul retrieval session with Erin brought me back home to myself in a way that I had never experienced before. It was a powerful session and a powerful moment, and things have shifted for me since then. I’m really grateful for that.”

“Erin is a kind and compassionate healer. I have benefited greatly from sessions with Erin. I went in for a tick bite causing recurrent issues. Not only is the tick bite better but various aspects of my life have improved as well. Erin is committed to her path and very knowledgeable of the Nahua tradition, She gives homework that helps give attention to areas of life that may be overlooked with everyday responsibilities. The healing takes place within the visit with Erin and positive effects continue to unfold between sessions. The healing space is welcoming and comfortable. I have appreciated the healing gifts Erin has provided.”
