"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. Thank you Modern Ancient for setting me on a journey to live my true purpose!"

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.
