I participated in a retreat at The Church of The Natural Law and I returned feeling clean inside and clear-headed in my mind.
The retreat lasted practically a full week-end. It was very relaxing and enriching. The Kambo on the first night was a nice surprise, specially when I felt so much cleaner inside after the bit of discomfort that the substance may bring for a while. Then there was the full Saturday which ended with the Ayahuasca medicine intake.
I liked very much the casual approach to the stay while still having structure around the activities and exercices. And there was plenty of time to be silent and in a purely relaxing mode, which I needed and I think everyone needs it. The house feels very welcoming and calm. There is a big backyard with tall trees and a silence broken only by the pleasant sound of the breeze. The weather that week-end was just perfect.
It’s about more than the medicine. It’s about connecting with oneself and the Natural surroundings. It’s about reaching a peaceful state of mind.
The medicine itself was an incredible experience. It brought up issues that I needed to be made aware of. The medicine is an incredibly powerful opening into one’s own subconscious. The sound bath, ceremony and all the setup was perfect for setting oneself up for the experience.
Even now after some days I feel calm and I know I will want to repeat the experience to go a bit further in my journey.
I recently had the opportunity to participate in a 3-day Ayahuasca retreat, with the amazing Cortni Maestra where I tried Kambo, and discovered I have beautiful spiritual gifts.. Also drank Ayahuasca I had so many visions and messages from the spiritual world.. I’m forever grateful for this experience now I can focus on developing my spiritual gifts so I can be able to help myself and others… thank you Maestra for such a beautiful experience..thank you, Mother Ayahuasca🤍🤍 very excited for my next retreat
I feel deeply grateful to have attended ceremony with Maestra Cournti. It was my first time sitting with kambo and plant medicine, and I felt well-guided and cared for. Courtni’s home is a sanctuary. It’s filled with inspiring art she has created and really good spiritual literature. Courtni knows SO much. She is a well of wisdom. It was so spiritually nourishing to learn from her. They say you get the medicine you need and not the medicine you want. I got both. My personal journey was a mixed bag of light and dark. It wasn’t easy but I was guided by Spirit and by Courtni, and surrounded by the most lovely group of people. I will never forget it and I am so happy I did it for myself. I feel my soul lighter. I see myself responding to every day things differently. I believe in myself. Thank you Courtni, for showing so fully, for journeying with us and for all the wonderful details – the fire pit, sound journey, talk stick circles and more!
Thank you Maestra!
This retreat delivered everything I hoped for and more, proving to be exactly what I needed. I had a truly wonderful time, with every aspect meeting and even exceeding expectations. Maestra Courtni’s expertise and insightful guidance were evident as she skillfully supported both my journey and those of the other participants. The retreat was not only informative but also deeply supportive, fostering a sacred and safe space that allowed each of us to journey inward with confidence.
My shared room was a haven of comfort and cleanliness, thoughtfully equipped with tools that proved invaluable throughout my experience. A generous array of snacks and beverages was readily available throughout my stay, a comforting and constant offering. The outdoor area felt like a portal to a magical realm, a truly immersive natural experience. The zero gravity recliners around the firepit encouraged a more grounded connection with the earth. Courtni’s unwavering presence throughout the entire ceremony created a strong sense of holding and support. The intentional collection of our phones proved to be an unexpected blessing, creating a sanctuary free from the relentless pull of outside distractions.
With a deeply respectful approach, Courtni established clear expectations and ground rules, nurturing an atmosphere that beautifully balanced personal introspection with a sense of community. The pre-arranged silent nature of the retreat fostered a deeply personal experience for each of us, yet still allowed for connection and conversation outside designated quiet times. The shamanic drumming and sound journey were profoundly effective, and the sound bath served as the perfect preparation, aligning my energy for the journey ahead. Choosing this retreat was the most profound act of self-care I’ve undertaken. Working with Courtni illuminated the extent to which I had allowed myself to fade into the background, a realization that feels both significant and empowering.
I attended a private ceremony here at Church of the Natural Law. I highly recommend it. As a busy professional with a hectic schedule, and also someone who struggles with bad anxiety, scheduling these things can be hard for me. Courtni does an amazing job at accomodating the people she works with. The experience she provides is beauitful as well. The property is gorgeous and the perfect amount of space for what you need. The energy there feels safe and clean which really promotes a healthy journey with the medicine. Courtni also shares her wisdom and expertise to help guide you through it. On top of the medicine, she also offers advice on holistic healing through things like nutrition and breathwork, providing practical ways of navigating life with the new perspective you are able to gain through your journey. Again, I highly recommend this Church if you are looking for a ceremony in the US. She also offers private ceremonies which I recommend as a starting point if you are someone like me and really nervous about how you may react to the medicine.
Hello all. I have been working with Courtni since 2019. I found her and her retreats at a time when I was my lowest point. Once she began teaching me to heal the traumas of my past, work with the Kambo frog medicine, listen to grandmother Ayahuasca, have faith and trust in myself, I began to have the skills I needed to forgive myself and others. I’ve learned to love myself and others. I’ve learned to manifest my reality and been able to share my growth with others. Her ceremonies are structured for the safety of those who are attending. She is the medicine woman and when in the retreat I honor and respect her as such. These teachings/learnings are not for everyone. Those who take issue with having a strong woman be in charge can turn people away. It can be difficult to surrender oneself to another person. Those who believe the retreat is all about them will be disappointed. While Courtni does her best to allow each person to be an individual in their own right, as they grow and open themselves to the experience, ultimately she is the one with 20 years of medicinal ceremony experience and I trust her.
My experience was a really good one. I loved the set up and how the experience unfolded. I came full of worries and left feeling uplifted, stronger. I would do it again and highly recommend to anyone who is looking to receive healing with plant medicine and Courtni as your guide.
I just returned from the Shamanic Healing Retreat in Truth or Consequences, NM with Courtni Hale. I had an amazing weekend with a beautiful, professional and deeply spiritual leader. Our group bonded over our shared and disparate life experiences. We did breath work, yoga and more before we partook in the medicine. The plant medicine brought me back to a connection with spirit and my own place in the universe. Grandmother had very clear direction for creating the next phase of my life. I also came away feeling more energetic and focused with a big reduction of physical pain I usually feel daily. Do the homework, prepare for the retreat so you can guide your own experience, and come away with new insights and a deeper connection to spirit and your own soul. Thank you Courtni Hale! 🥰 — feeling blissful.
I’ve attended 2 Retreats and each one is different because there are people attending from all over who bring sometimes a lot of “Baggage” and when things don’t go their way they attack and or blame Courtni or the Ceremony. Not fare by any means. This might not be the answer to your prayers… don’t shoot the Messenger… I’ve seen Courtni exhibit professionalism and sincere care and safety for the group and Community.
We enjoyed a beautiful Ayahuasca and Kambo Ceremony in a desert springs setting. Having the food included and yoga classes, massage and sound bath is a smoking deal for the price.
Their Training and Support package comes free with the Retreat, as well as processing in a Talking Stick Circle.
Luxurious setting and activities create the ideal, safe setting without the need to travel abroad.
The Medicine Woman has a direct lineage to a traditional Ayahuasca Taita as well as being trained personally by Patricio Dominguez (Spirit Molecule), a Tiwa Shaman of uninterrupted lineage.
The community and staff are supportive and welcoming.
Amazing, life changing experience!
This ceremony has forever changed my life for the better!! The shaman and her assistants provided unrelenting compassion with everyone who participated. We all get what we put out.
The quaint hotel and healing hot springs spa have lots of character and kind people about the town. Most of the people who attended are now lifelong friends!
How one experiences medicine is how their life has been lived.
My grandfather is also a medicine man of the Jicarilla Apache tribe in NM and taught me our ancient ways of medicine and practice. So when I attended this ceremony, the shamanic training methods, songs, and medicine felt powerfully similar.
This included the activities of walking, prayer, art, and sharing visions, amongst various means of self reflection and community projects.
The methods are practiced with genuine respect and were taught traditionally with adaptation of the changing times.
Its not about race. It is about consistent practice of tradition by one’s culture and spiritual teachers.
The shaman of this retreat has committed and accomplished Every aspect of tradition that I am familiar with from my Jicarilla Apache lineage of medicine people.
With the changing times, people need these kinds of community to thrive, and the Finding the Force community is with the front at manifesting the new Earth.
Fenomenal staff, great location and follow up.
The retreat is amazing and Courtni and the staff make you feel so safe and comfortable, they have all the tools and knowledge to help anyone find what they’re looking for.
Will take my wife and my older kids next.
Amazing ceremonies and value.
I’m a totally different and better version of me after the ceremony.
Highly satisfied and will recommend to all my loved ones .
This ceremony has exponentially changed my life for the better!!! I am so happy to have been involved that I continue to contribute because of the benefits for people and the planet!!
There needs to be more events such as these for people to realize our ancient methods of healing self, with others. Spirit has provided the means for the new earth to become real, and this retreat is a prime example of how.
The shaman has been a powerful foundation of guidance with the community, and I look forward to the growth of all as One.
The assistants were unrelentingly compassionate with the people and manifested a safe space to journey.
Wow, the environment in a desert along the lovely Rio Grande, healing hot springs, and superb vegetarian food!!! I am definitely returning for the healing!!
One of the shamanic training activities included a beautiful walk along the river and up a mesa for reflection of the past, present, and future. Then, after sharing our experiences and prayers together, we painted on silk (which I did not know was a medium until here) and took them home as our personal reminders and inspiration of our journey.
The medicine works 100% of the time. The “bad” experiences while journeying were the toxic ways I had been living by. This ceremony helped me become aware of them, so that I may choose to live healthier with all aspects of my life.
I HAVE chosen to live healthier since. By participating, this ceremony assured my decision.
I love this ceremony and the community!!! I realized life long friends here!! Our shared stories helped me realize that I am not alone.
If you are even curious about this ceremony. I highly reccomend asking about anything of it.
This Traditionally Trained Medicine Person holds small, safe Ceremony and caretakers each person. They have Training materials for before and after, as well as Zoom calls weekly for processing. The Medicine was gentle yet powerful, and they offer 3 rounds, plus cacao Ceremony, Drum Journey, and Kambo. Highly recommended!
