"Life changing, We will never be the same."
I came here with my two sons Joseph (24) and Austin (28). I want to start off my review by talking about how incredible the staff was at Rythmia. From the front desk personnel, chefs preparing the food, to the room and ground keeper…. They were all so nice. They were always there to help with anything you needed at any time. The staff was always working hard to make sure everything was just perfect for all the guests while keeping a big happy smile. You could feel the staff’s peaceful presence everywhere. I can’t say enough about how much the staff cares about what they do and does everything in their power to make guests feel at home. Also, the staff that handled the classes of breath work, yoga, and the medical personnel, etc., were all top notch. Excellent at what they do, I was very impressed. It’s hard to believe they all do this day after day, week after week, etc. it blows me away. They are all driven by a deep love for humanity, and it really shows. I went to Rythmia not sure why I was going, it’s just that I felt a needed to go based on what I thought and understood the place to be about. Overall, I couldn’t have underestimated the profound impact this would have on my life in just one week. Literally my life completely changed, and I was connected to my soul. I experienced deep healing in my heart through the ceremonies that I participated in every evening. I never even knew that I had lost this connection with my soul until I saw what I had become on the first night of the ceremony. On the outside my life looked great, but on the inside, I was carrying so much weight from stuffing and burying my feelings for the last 30 years. My body was showing signs of it internally and externally. I had major stomach issues and psoriasis was breaking out all over my body. I was sore all the time, and no matter how much I stretched I was extremely stiff in my joints. This is not what I should be experiencing at age 54. The excitement for life that I once had was fading, and I was starting to take things for granted. Inside I wasn’t happy with anything, and all I saw was the negative no matter how hard I tried not to. I just figured this was a part of getting older, and I was going to have to manage through life the best I could, and deal with it. I was sick spiritually and physically, and I really didn’t even care that much about it. The hardest thing I had to face during my stay was letting go, learning to surrender, and to just trust the process. This was very hard for me in the beginning, and I didn’t want to surrender. But when I finally let go… incredible things started to happen to me. By the time the 4th night of plant medicine rolled around, I was ready to go ALL IN … I wasn’t leaving without a healed heart and body. What happened that night was truly profound, and beyond words, but I got both. Thank you, God! I am so grateful for everyone who was there at Rythmia while I was there, such beautiful people .all of them including the other guests. I know that all who came during the time I was there were meant to be there, the timing was so perfect. Most of all, I am so grateful for my wife, who has been so instrumental in helping me become who I am today. My eyes were open to all that she does for our family, helping me stay connected and grounded. Also, to everyone in my life who has stuck with me, especially my children who mean the world to me, I can’t say enough about how strong they all are. I can say that if you go, there is a divine reason, don’t hold back, go ALL IN and see what happens… it will change your life.
