My partner and I spent 7 days at Modern Ancient in Peru. It was a life changing experience in so many ways and for our relationship. We wanted to meet the medicine in the traditional way but also somewhere which was not too alien to us so we would be able to relax and feel safe.This was the best place and team for our experience and we were sad to leave. Their dedication and personal touch is beyond words. We have sent many of our friends to Modern Ancient who have also had outstanding experiences. I love the personal touch with the sisters which was felt in our ceremonies. I plan to return soon with my sister for family healing. I feel they hold the space well for this and are good real life examples of healing family trauma.
