"I just had the great privilege of participating in the 5 in Me weekend retreat with Magda. This was the first time I've participated in a group retreat of this nature. From my initial zoom call with Magda, I knew I was in very good hands. She is very well versed in all aspects of the territory and her ability to maintain a stable and loving presence, with keen awareness and sensitivity to the participants' needs throughout the weekend was amazing. She did it all with ease, grace, reverence for the work, and with good humor. The retreat setting at the farm was idyllic, very peaceful, and the meals provided were healthy, fresh, and truly delicious. Most importantly, the effects of the work are already proving to be quite remarkable. In just three days, a deep shift in my being has been initiated, the profundity of which I am only starting to appreciate. I told Magda during the retreat that it felt like time stood still, like we were merged with the eternal. I feel full of Gratitude, Grace, and with new found respect for the vastness of this Reality we find ourselves in. I look forward to the next opportunity I have to join her in one of these profoundly transformational retreats. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her if you feel called. You will not be disappointed.

“The 5-in-Me retreat was an extraordinary experience that supported both beginners and more seasoned explorers of the medicine to deepen their relationship to it through a variety of practices. The container and the environment were carefully curated to support the best possible experience for all participants, and by the closing circle, everyone felt beautifully bonded to each other in celebration of the magic that had unfolded. And the integration support provided after the retreat has been invaluable to receive the most richness and growth from it. Magda's facilitation was superbly gentle and supportive, yet potent at the same time. Her skillful ability to hold loving space allows for the greatest surrender to the fullest experience, within the sense of safety she helped to create. For myself and everyone else who joined, this retreat sparked powerful transformational waves, as well as fundamental shifts in being, the ripple effects of which are still being felt many days after our encounter with the medicine. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is feeling called to deepen their spiritual journey in ways more profound than can be described!"

“I can’t say enough about the value and experience I had on my Magda led retreat in Canada. It is tough to describe in words, as it would almost cheapen how impactful the experience was on me. The retreat itself was in a beautiful setting and Magda was the perfect guide in creating a powerful transformation in my being. Magda is a highly skilled Shaman who orchestrated a perfect retreat holding our health and safety as her highest priority and leveraging the perfect combination of techniques and experiences to guide me in the best way possible. Not only is she so highly skilled, she leads the experience with love and care creating this unbelievable two day experience that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I could not endorse Magda more highly nor get more value out of a retreat experience. If you miss an opportunity to work with Magda, you miss the chance to change your life in the most positive way. Flawless execution. I’ve been to many retreats, this one I will never forget.”

"I attended the 5-in-me retreat on a beautiful farm in rural Ontario last week. The whole process of the weekend retreat has let me heal, love myself and open up new possibilities, connection with life and sensitivity I had not imagined. If you are looking to dive in, trust and take a big leap for yourself - this is a beautiful and safe way to take that step. The whole experience was extremely well curated by Magda and our hosts to provide the optimal set, setting, activities, introspection and medicine work and it leaves me with so much gratitude. Magda herself is warm, grounded, powerful and skilled as a healer, shaman and wise woman. A being with an amazing combination of skill, sensitivity and knowing.If your heart is calling you, I highly recommend this retreat and the facilitator. Your heart will be grateful!"

"The deep love and care provided by Magda on our retreat at Teotihuacan was life changing. As a facilitator and teacher she engaged participants in transformational practices and provided individualized and specific support for our growth and ascendance. Through group work I developed authentic, loving, safe, and nonjudgmental relationships with those who journeyed with me. In just a few days I gained deep insight into my life, released baggage I was carrying, and have been provided tools to move forward as I experience myself renewed and changed. While there is always more work to do, my heart is open with a knowing of how to live my life more fully and in awareness of the infinite love that is everything."

"I didn't want to attend Magda's retreat. Well, my ego was the one resisting... but my intuition wouldn't let the idea go. And I'm so glad I listened and went. Magda facilitated an expertly designed process that unfolded beautifully. She made the space safe and welcoming and customized experiences to each of our needs. In my experience of teachers, Magda is masterful. She is human and real and open about her own journey while also being deeply knowledgeable, from not just study, but vast experience. She is able to toggle between being deeply insightful and light and playful that encourages you to do the same and access your own wisdom.
If you are a seeker, I encourage you to give yourself this gift."

"There are really no words to describe the experience and ultimately the transformation I went through. I thought I understood but realized afterwards that nothing can really prepare you for this experience. Most of us were newbies and Magda gently eased us out of fear into the unknown while addressing each individual’s needs and bringing strangers together as a community of love and support. Her ethereal qualities coupled with just the right words at the right times (and sometimes delivered with loving sternness that we needed!) were beautiful to watch and experience. The support she’s provided afterward has also been above and beyond, understanding that the integration process can be difficult and scary at times. She was always there, offering advice and support, and encouraging us to offer the same to one another. I’m still in awe at how masterfully and elegantly she managed to give us each a very individualized weekend using her intuition and experience with energy. She is a true healer. If you’re looking for a life shift and are scared, do yourself a favor and just jump in and trust. You will never regret it”

"Attending a group retreat with Magda in Teo was breathtakingly amazing. The range of ceremony, exercises and activities was incredibly thought out, which naturally evolved across the days perfectly. It became very clear to me early on that Magda, with her unbounded love, care and connection, is especially skilled and talented in understanding and responding to each person's individual situation as well as managing the energy of the whole group to our benefit. I was simply stunned by her intuition, facilitation and navigation of my own ceremony experiences which included somatic processing of trauma that gave way to healing in a way that I had never experienced before. It was also an honor to actively witness the profound process that others in our group went through which contributed immensely to my own journey. Synchronicities kept showing up and pointing the way. The work also included meditation, breath-work and self-investigation that bolstered my experience and enhanced my integration process."
