“A Life Changing Retreat”
“I have participated in other medicines spaces at other retreat facilities, and I slowly developed fears around these spaces. However, after a few consultation calls with Samer and Gemma I could feel the excitement and trust in my own body that this would be very different and beneficial. The facility itself was welcoming, grounding, safe and the food provided was outstanding. From the very beginning, It was evident that Samer and Gemma were more than just instructors; they were compassionate guides on a shared journey of healing and self-discovery. Their genuine kindness and love radiated from every interaction…. “ Read More

“Samadi Healed”
“One of the first things that attracted me to Samadi Healing, and Samer Mouawad, is that he is accessible online for consultations. I was able to speak with him many times before the retreat, and this allowed me to share my struggles, understand his approach, and get to know Samer as a person. This retreat exceeded my expectations in many ways. I was amazed at how the combination of San Pedro, Kambo, nutritious food, and heart felt conversation opened my world to a new way to live, a life where love is the foundation for all action. Samer started each ceremony with gentle icaros and then transitioned into shamanic drumming and singing bowls to harmonize the energy in the room. As a finale, he played gongs with a masterful finesse that filled the room with deep earthly sounds. Then, in very simple words, he would carefully explain how self-love is the key to healing and the release of suffering. I also admired how Samer paid close attention to the needs of all guests, providing personal attention and guidance where needed, every step of the way.”

“The true meaning of opening one's heart”
“Recently, I participated in a Samadi healing retreat led by Samer.
Samer has extensive knowledge and experience with plant medicines and diets. His retreat is well-organized and structured down to the last detail (accommodation, food, ceremonies). Everything is taken care of, allowing me to focus on healing and experiencing true transformation. I highly recommend Samadi Healing If you seek a holistic experience that encompasses mental, emotional, and physical healing“

“Stellar heart-opening experience”
“How to even begin... I've spent 15 years attending various plant medicine retreats looking to address issues that had not been resolved after the previous 20 years were spent scouring various meditative and physical practices for answers. I feel safe in saying this recent retreat with Samer, my first with him as the shamanic practitioner, was the BEST in terms of making actual palpable progress on that journey. I feel like I not only made progress, but feel like I got some closure on what sent me seeking in the first place. I'm excited for the first time in years to feel like I can finally open up to what the next chapter of my story might hold.“

“An experience like no other!”
“I have been a seeker my whole life. Attending workshops and meditation retreats throughout the years. After I received a recent terminal diagnosis, a close friend of mine recommended some sessions with Samer. I choose to come to Peru within a few months in hopes of healing. I also desired to get in touch with my fear of death and the true self that I had buried long ago with modern day living. I received what I requested, the gift of connecting with my true self and so much more! The San Pedro ceremonies allowed me to have amazing experiences of what may be referred to as a “life review” by some. It allowed me to climb into the spiderweb of patterns I had developed in my life that were no longer serving me and release them. For me, the pivotal experience was a hike on Ausangate Mountain. There are no words to describe the depth of connection I felt to Mother Earth. I felt complete on that day and all fear left my being. This is a gift that I wish the world to experience!”

“Life changing"
“When I came to the retreat it was following two years of “mystery illness” that wasn’t being found or made better by traditional Western medicine nor alternative therapies. The week with Samer, San Pedro, and Kambo helped heal what was amiss. It helped me to reclaim my health, body, mind, and spirit. I have known Samer for about 7 years from when he worked with another retreat group. It has been wonderful to see his transformation as a person, healer, and shaman over that time. The healing space he set up, his openness, and wide knowledge base helped me relax into one of the most profound spiritual experiences I’ve had."

“Becoming the person I'm truly meant to be."
“I am deeply grateful to have experienced Samer's sacred and transformative retreat in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Throughout this journey, I felt a huge sense of safety, allowing me to venture into deep, often challenging aspects of my self-awareness and healing. It started me on a powerful self love journey, showing me the beauty of being enough, neither too little nor too much. It feels as though I've unknowingly been in a cocoon, and this retreat initiated my metamorphosis, enabling me to start becoming the person I'm truly meant to be."

“A heart-centered and holistic expereince!"
"I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Samer Mouawad for the past several years, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional shaman with an incredible depth of experience. Samer's journey in the world of shamanism spans over 15 years, during which he has immersed himself in the sacred teachings of master plants in both the Andean mountains and the Amazonian jungle of Peru. Samer offers a holistic experience that goes beyond the administration of plant medicine. His approach encompasses spiritual philosophy, mindful food practices, and a profound connection with nature. He understands the interconnectedness of all aspects of our lives and strives to help his clients achieve balance and harmony on their spiritual journeys." Read more

“Life-changing experience"
“Spending time with Samer in retreat was a life changing experience for my husband and I. We didn’t know the importance of selecting the right shaman to guide you through this journey until we were immersed in it. We felt 100% safe during the process and knew that Samer had nothing but our best interest in mind. We have since done several remote plant medicine sessions via Zoom also and he carried us along just as he did in retreat. I would HIGHLY suggest if this is something you are considering that you reach out and speak with him and you will immediately see the caring nature and professionalism this man has."

“True Shamanism."
“I have been to many plant medicine retreats and sat in ceremony with many shamans and Samer is the most trustworthy and knowledgeable shaman I have worked with. Samer and his San Pedro ceremonies are safe, personal, and transformative; he addresses your individual needs and heals with energy, sound, and knowledge. The grounds where ceremonies are held are absolutely beautiful as well, a truly unique environment. Whether it’s your first time with plant medicines or your 100th, Samer and Samadi Healing will transform you and give you a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t forget."

“San Pedro Retreat."
“Samer is an authentic medicine man. He has helped me immeasurably over the years. His energy is strong and clean. Spending time with him is always uplifting. My most recent San Pedro retreat was a wonderful, healing experience. Samer tailor-made a program for me and two friends. The environment he created made us feel safe and at home. He was always available for us and took care of our every need. He was completely flexible in making program changes whenever we required. The organic food, and accommodation, were excellent. My friends and I feel really fortunate to have spent so much time with Samer during our retreat. He is wise and kind and humble. His vast knowledge of nutrition and natural remedies continue to help me every day."
