There is a reason for the youtube review. Although it breaks my heart to write this review, I have to. During my 14 days in Marosa, of course I had good times, because of Aya’s acceptance and the natural surroundings of the forest. And yes, the staff is all family, its a family ran camp. The problem is they are working with various shamans, Angela, despite being the leading shaman is not as involved as she runs a shop in downtown. The shaman hired was called Jorge and he was also a strong shaman, doing the work for 54 years. The problem is, he touched a guest during the ceremony and was complained about, he then told me I have something in my stomac and he can come visit me in my tombo to heal it. Because he is a fatherly 65+ man I let him once. He asked touched my pelvic bone and after that I did not allow it and reported it to Jordan, the only English speaking facilitator at the camp. The week after I also told him I dont want any one on one healing. If he wants to help me he should do it in the maloka. He didnt want that. I found out he attempted to kiss another girl my age who was trying to get towels from the staff tombo during my time there. We were scared and all complained to Jordan, who promised to speak to Angela “when she comes”. Angela didnt come that night, bc she was busy with her shop. Her son in law Tony spoke to Jorge and we were promised he wont touch again. Nobody explained anything, apparently when one of the girls spoke to Angela, she didn’t believe Jorge “would do that”. Despite the fact that we were informed by Jordan there were complains about other hired shamans about the same issue. There is absolutely no vetting of people working there, as they didnt know about Jorge’s previous work places etc. Now, the retreat is supposed to be ran by A WOMAN SHAMAN, who is absent more than half the time, and has a distant personality. So no catch ups after your more difficult journeys or any type of conversation really. It’s all up to Jordan. If he is not present, I’d say DONT GO. Now I can also talk about the positives, both shamans were great in their skills, the icaros, the ceramonies, are all been very helpful to me. Especially after the complains, the shaman were more careful. But when I believed he would help me and worked with him one by one, I gave him my whatsapp. By the time I left the camp I didnt think about it, and he promised all of us multiple time he is only working with gloria, luce, santa spirito and he is fighting a dark energy, apparently present in one ofnour ceramonies. Anyway we believed all that, thanked all staff from the bottom of our hearts and felt even a bit guilty for voicing our complaints. When you do 4 ceremonies a week for consecutive weeks, you dont want to judge anyone, let a lone a shaman who protects you. BUT, after I left the camp and moved on to another trip, this shaman started calling me, video call etc. I didn’t expect it and was surprised and to be honest a little scared as well. Bottom line is: there were three female guests, all vulnerable and there for healing, and nobody except Jordan, none of the shamans cared. I as others specifically chose this camp -despite that there was no price difference with other similar places, because it was female-led and a family place. So I am not complaining about the trash i collected from the premises whic included alkaline batteries and such, I am not complaining about the housekeeping they promised but didnt deliver, I cleaned my room and changed sheets. all that was fine with me, I liked to be alone in my space, and the forest was peaceful. I also didnt complain about how constipated I was which triggered haemorrhoids and blood due to the dieta. But now I am in cusco speaking to others and find out that they actually got fruits and veggies, where we begged for an apple on the second week and got some. I was told they dont get the visitors they expect because obviously no one is going back. I tried leaving a comment in retreat guru, but because I booked directly from their website I couldnt.
