  • "I felt that I am in a peaceful serene place, being taken care of. It was a body, mind and soul detox where I disconnected from everything in my life and focused on myself. The retreat helped me dig deep into my traumas, feelings, as well as made me connect with my inner self in a way that I wouldn’t even imagine doing even with many therapy sessions."

  • "I really enjoyed the clean fresh air with the view, whether on the first retreat or the second, was incredible. The food was also great, having the chance to eat clean with local nearby ingredients was something I also enjoyed. Julia and Maya make an amazing duo which helped me enjoy the process with all the pain that came up during the ceremony."

Antaras was founded on the desire to deepen healing and self-exploration by bridging psychotherapy and shamanism.

In a world that is expanding and shape-shifting, Julia and Maya combine their expertise to create conscious, embodied containers that prioritise ethics, as well as professionalism, humanity and gentleness.
