With deep reverence and an open heart, I’m honored to share the offerings for our upcoming 2026 Plant Medicine & Sound Healing Retreats, a sacred journey of healing, remembrance, and reconnection with our beloved Grandmother Aya Medicine.
These gatherings will take place in Peru, Costa Rica, and other sacred lands, alongside trusted elders, facilitators, and soul kin. Each retreat is a co-creation rooted in prayer, sound, ceremony, and the loving guidance of our plant allies Spirit.
If you feel a calling in your heart to sit with us in these sacred circles, or to walk the path of one-on-one healing through dieta and plant medicine work, I invite you to reach out. Trust your inner knowing. You are welcome here!

About Colleen
Song Weaver • Sound Alchemist • Spiritual Guide
Colleen Ariel is the heart and spirit behind enCHANTed Healing Center since 2011, a sacred sanctuary for transformation through sound, plant medicine, and deep soul work. With over 25 years of experience in energy medicine, shiatsu therapy, shamanic healing, and Amazonian plant traditions, she serves as a guide and mentor to those walking the path of inner healing and remembrance.
Her own healing journey began after surviving two life-altering car accidents, one when she was 16 yrs old, the other when she 29 yrs old that left her unconscious for 3 days, with a traumatic brain injury and deep physical and emotional wounds.
These experiences became the fertile ground for a profound rebirth, a life's practice for self healing since her teens, and studying with masters across the globe, one rooted in the wisdom of the plants, the power of sound, and the guidance of Spirit.
Through resilience, devotion, and two decades of ceremonial work, Colleen has walked the medicine path with humility and deep respect for the elders and maestros who have guided her. She now shares this sacred work with others those seeking to awaken, heal, and come home to themselves.
