"Without a doubt, this was one of the most magical and profound experiences I have ever had. I was welcomed into the family right from the get go, and felt so at home during the whole week that I didn't want to leave! I am so inspired by these sisters because they walk the talk themselves and lead by example. The level of care, spiritual knowledge and professionalism is truly outstanding.

Wow! I don't know where to start or if words can explain but I'll try. I feel my soul, my ancestors, my pain and my power to create more than what I am sitting in now. I had special visions and visits from my deceased family members with so much love and acceptance. The place is fantastic in the jungle. A stellar team, on point with the holistic education, very grounded and easy to talk to - really like my soul family. I'll never forget my time here at Modern Ancient, and I feel that Cara and Suya's light will always be with me. Thank you everyone, I am truly grateful and can't wait to come again next year.
