"I consider the shamanic journey a form of waking dream, interacting with the inner realm of the imaginal while in the waking state with focus directed inwardly away from the external proximal environment. It is close to a lucid dream where the dreamer is aware of the dream state while experiencing it. One who practices shamanic journeying…becomes familiar with the imaginal territory and its offerings. Communication with the beings, spirits, that rise, bring understanding. Like explorers the more one visits the more one knows where to source what one needs. I compare this with dreaming. …visits to landscapes that ..become holy places, lyceums or schools, or libraries where we find information and healing."   ~The Dream Gate, 2022, Janet Piedilato

Retreat Description

Dr. Piedilato's presence in conjunction with the power of nature in El Quindio and the comfort of Casa Andaluna provide an unforgettable spiritual experience. This Program is offered for only ten attendees on a first-come, first-served basis which means that Dr. Piedilato will be able to connect with the participants more deeply. You will receive personal attention and practices to support your highest growth and healing. 


Casa Andaluna is a magnificent place right in the heart of the main coffee region in Colombia. It overlooks hundreds of acres of coffee plantations with breathtaking views of el Quindio province. The Quindio department consists entirely of mountain landscapes covered in tropical rainforest and Guadua bamboo forests. The ground is enriched with ancient volcanic eruptions, raising its fertility. 

 

This area holds the energy of the Quimbaya natives. Many residents claim full or partial descent from Quimbaya native peoples and live in rural pueblos all over Quindio. This is a one of a kind opportunity for spiritual awakening and development surrounded by the magnificence of nature.


In addition to spiritual enlightenment activities at Casa Andaluna, each retreat will include two mid-week excursions to beautiful nearby areas, where we will dive into authentic, culturally rich experiences in rural Colombia.
