The retreat was absolutely FANTASTIC. I felt so blessed to be in such a beautiful space receiving so much medicine and magic… I am not sure where to begin. I was really moved by Christi’s story around breath-work and how it expanded her mind and sense of purpose. I relate to her in many ways and her positive energy was so great to be around. I myself facilitate… I teach yoga, meditation, breath work, and help mentor people while they are in their awakenings so they can empower themselves to create a fulfilling life. After spending time with the retreat attendees, the facilitators, and christi, I was really just inspired and feeling aligned. It was so powerful to know after Christi’s life-changing experience with her first breath-work class, she decided to dive deeper and find away to share this powerful and natural medicine with the masses. I see a lot of myself in what she is doing… It is my dream to create informative documentaries and share affordable or free spaces for people to HEAL. When we heal ourselves, we heal the world. I am honored to be a part of this journey and to assist Christi in her beautiful vision. Because of the incredible transformation I saw within myself, and the connection Christi and I formed, I will be coming back to the next few retreats beginning of 2024 to teach yoga and facilitate energy healing. If you are looking for a retreat to heal, connect deeply with yourself and others, and change your life for the better… look no further. Join us in Colombia!!

The retreat in Colombia at Kavalia with Christi and all the amazing facilitators she coordinated was magnificent and utterly life-changing.
From the morning meditations, afternoon breathwork, and evening native musical entertainment, sound healing or cacao ceremony, it is difficult to say what part of the week was my favorite. This is not even mentioning the scrumptious, freshest, lovingly planned and prepared meals throughout the day. Thinking back on this week makes my heart so happy and my spirit smile.
Chrisi is a beautiful and special soul who truly cares for her guests. You feel seen, heard, appreciated, and celebrated.
I highly encourage anyone who is looking for a transformational experience to join Christi and all her special guests for a remarkable journey into the soul and spirit that you are.

I am most grateful to have been recently introduced to Holotropic Breathwork during a most memorable experience in Titiribi, Colombia, where a small group of eight have forged an incredible bond performing Holotropic breathwork. It was four days waking up in the most tranquil, peaceful, fairytale like environment, seeing the world’s tallest natural pyramid, flocks of white birds taking off each morning, farm animals in their natural habitat and it was all just two hours from the hustle and bustle of busy and exotic Medellin. Little did I know that our already beautiful and relaxing stay would be enriched even more with the company of talented Holotropic Breathing and meditation experts, carefully selected by our magnificent and inspiring organizer, Christi McAdams. She is the brains behind our activities, delicious cuisine, trips to surrounding little magical towns, but most importantly, our magnificent experience with our own holotropic breathing journeys we took. The experiences were different each day and were meant to uplift our mental health and to bring a different healing experience to each of us, to open our mind and hearts how breathing itself could be healing in every sense of the word.

I personally never felt more at peace, relaxed and in touch with my internal self and had a magnificent experience at the main Holotropic breathwork exercise that let me see that anything can be possible. Happiness, love, healing, health, success, goals, motivation all comes from self care and I could perform better, only if I could manage to breathe and take time to myself. The multiple exercises have helped me find answers to many deep personal questions. It has lead me to believe from witnessing myself and others, that we are capable to heal ourselves within just with the right breathing exercises.

I am already excited about the next event and meeting people that project peace and calm with their caring hearts. An introduction to Holotropic Breathwork should be experienced by all. I am grateful for incredible experience and getting to know likeminded people with whom we created a wonderful bond.

The routine of everyday life was joyfully interrupted when I escaped to this Colombian paradise for a breathwork centered retreat. We experienced an intimate setting with beautiful like minded souls on a journey back to ourselves. The different modalities of healing and breathwork that we participated in were led by facilitators that explained and then guided us through the process in a way that created a safe space for self exploration and spiritual growth. The facility has beautiful amenities that allow for relaxation in any downtime and the surrounding area allows for exploration if you so choose. There was a local expert available for guided excursions that enabled us to experience once in a lifetime adventures while we learned so much about the local culture. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a chance to get away and to reconnect with themselves and the beauty that the world has to offer. I am forever grateful.

I am forever transformed and full of gratitude. This was my very first breathwork and wellness retreat. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ventured to Colombia to experience the planned breathwork sessions, yoga & meditation, and all of the amazing ceremonies and rituals. I arrived at this tranquil haven with an open mind and ready to dive in! The facilitators were phenomenal, the property was stunning, the food was incredible, and there was always so much to do from the cold plunge, sound healing, cocoa, and ecstatic dance. Our guide, Victor expertly organized local excursions through vibrant and magnificent lands. We went swimming in a hidden waterfall that’s tucked away from civilization and on a challenging hike to conquer the world’s largest natural pyramid, Cerra Tuso. The payoff at the top with its breathtaking panoramic mountain views made the trek up well worth it! This trip became a turning point in my life. Opening my eyes to the importance of mindfulness, growth & healing, and the incredible impact of breathwork. If you’re seeking a respite from daily life and a chance to rediscover your center, this breathwork retreat with TranscendMental Explorers Club is an absolute game-changer. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit. I’ll be back in 2024!

This was no typical “weekend getaway”. From the moment I landed in Columbia I was greeted by our driver that made the adventure easy and safe. Through many twists and turns we arrived at our indoor outdoor living paradise for the week, trust me I wanted to stay longer. The experiences of breath work, cold plunges and many ceremonies was all new to me. As a veteran with PTSD it started a journey I am going to pursue for further healing and experiences. The trip was life changing and I would encourage anyone to try this adventure it will leave you like me and that’s wanting to plan the next trip!

My daughter organized a wellness vacation for a few members of our family who especially needed a break from the norm. The retreat estate is just outside Medellin in Colombia, which is overlooking the world’s largest pyramid. The open architecture connected us to nature, surrounded by lush fruit trees, a serene creek, and beautiful horses. Engaging activities like yoga, meditation, breath work, sound healing, and a historic pyramid hike added a profound layer to the experience. Highly recommended for a rejuvenating escape. We are already planning our next trip to return in January!

My experience at TranscendMental Retreat was nothing short of transformative. Nestled near Colombia’s largest natural pyramid, this retreat is a sanctuary for those seeking a journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation.

The retreat’s diverse range of activities, including yoga, breathwork, and the unique cacao ceremony, were expertly designed to nourish both body and soul. The exhilarating ice plunge and the serene swims in natural springs were among the many highlights that connected us deeply with the natural world.

Visiting the local towns was a cultural adventure in itself. The interactions with the locals were not only heartwarming but also an integral part of understanding and appreciating the rich cultural tapestry of the region.

Nutrition was a key component of our wellness journey. The retreat provided three wholesome meals daily, all made from locally sourced ingredients. The freshness and quality of the food played a significant role in enhancing our physical and mental well-being.

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and facilitators at TranscendMental. Their exceptional hospitality and professional approach, especially towards beginners, made every day an enjoyable and comfortable experience.

After a week at TranscendMental, I left feeling clear-headed, healthy, and imbued with a sense of joy. This retreat is a perfect blend of adventure, cultural immersion, and personal growth. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to step away from the bustle of daily life and embrace a truly holistic wellness experience.
