TESTIMONIALS
There are rarely any guarantees when working with any initiatory experience or ceremonial rite of passage; whether eastern, western, shamanic, alternative or otherwise.
In saying that, there are tens of thousands of reports that can be found online when it comes to the benefits of these ancient ways of healing and honouring the sacred.
Below are a small handful that we’ve been blessed enough to receive…
“Caiyuda has a remarkable capacity to create both aesthetically beautiful and deeply Soulful gatherings.
My entire being felt a sense of belonging, here in the wild, with other Beings choosing to slow down and listen. This was like time-travel into an ancient of portal of Knowing. I felt the wisdom of earth singing through my bones.
The hiking was magical, the fireside songs and chats were deeply nourishing and the meals were satisfying. I have participated in many Shamanic Women's Gatherings over the years, and the experience of sharing this with all genders was really profound: I loved it.
Caiyuda has created a deeply meaningful and potent space, the kind of space that our world yearns for: Space for togetherness, Deep Listening and Remembering Who we really are.
Caiyuda will help you clear the noise and find your Signal.”
“Having sat with numerous medicine men both in Ecuador and Australia, Caiyuda’s genuine love and care that come from his core always feel like I’m coming home.
Caiyuda really holds a special container to surrender and allow all to be. His experiences to me are profound. Walking away I always reflect and genuinely feel like the work I set out to do, has been done.
Having being through a very recent traumatic psycho-spiritual experience abroad, Caiyuda was my rock and formed many a foundation and instilled such a caring confidence into my integration.”
“Having seen Caiyuda work his magic on multiple occasions now, I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Given my own practice, I understand the importance of holding sacred space for a group and he has a profound ability in this regard.
He has the wisdom, as well as an incredible respect for the energy, the process, the participants and the medicine of the experience.
You will feel that you are in safe and capable hands at all times – even through those more challenging moments.”
“Caiyuda, I wanted to say how grateful I am for you just being yourself.
Your presence allowed me to feel safe in a way I haven’t felt with other facilitators before. Your embodiment of the teachings and wisdom you carry wasn’t lost on me.
I was able to access a strength I didn’t know was there. A lot of that was due to your ability to see me as I am and hold such a strong space.
The experience really allowed me to change in a very profound way and I wanted to properly express my gratitude to you.”
“My experience during The Pilgrimage was one of pure alignment. I felt cracked open and hollowed out, expanded and reinvigorated.
The experience had a profound impact in many ways. The connection with the divine masculine was something I have not experienced in my life prior to this journey. The format and flow of the pilgrimage spoke to every aspect of my bones, I no longer felt like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.
I am so grateful for this opportunity and for the integrity of the container Cai holds.”
“Firstly, thank you from every depth of my being for the sacred container that you held for us women.
To have our space held with such integrity helped us trust into the masculine on another level. For myself, I was able to surrender into my femme flow more than ever before.
Not only did I feel supported through my journey, but when I thought that I could go no deeper, I felt guided by you to surrender deeper and understand the intertwining process between nature and softening into my femme.
This day in society, and for a long time, women have been taught that life is a series of pushing harder and exerting much energy. This experience taught me that this is actually a conditioned way of being.
I will forever be grateful for this realization, alongside your support, and truly being seen by a beautiful man in a time of deep pain.”
“Caiyuda holds such a nurturing space through his experiences, full of integrity, support and love.
I feel incredibly safe every time I sit in ceremony with him, trusting in his awareness, knowledge and kind-hearted nature.
The profound changes from working with these sacred experiences are ineffable, and these shifts have a real depth due to the energy Caiyuda brings to his work, allowing for a deeper surrender and connection.
For me, not only do these ancient methods of healing have amazing physical benefits, but it allows such an energetic and emotional clearing at deeper levels. I feel the most beautiful part of the process is the heart opening it brings, allowing in such stillness and peace.
I highly recommend Caiyuda due to his beautiful nature, deep integrity and commitment to being of service.”
“Wow! Intense and super confronting. This is such a powerful path, it never ceases to amaze me what unfolds after the experience.
The clarity, healing and awareness that has come through these last few days has been PROFOUND. On a physical, mental and spiritual level!
I’ve been called to these ancient ways of healing for some time and feel so, so grateful that I came across Caiyuda to guide me into this path.
I’m feeling humbled, grounded, super conscious, connected, CLEAR and very certain about myself and my path and what I am here to do.
If these ancient ways into sacred healing are calling, this here is your man.
A true, modern day Shaman doing work that has chosen him to the highest degree. Looking forward to the next journey.”
“Over the years, I have come to feel as is living in the modern world is eroding at the edges of my heart and soul.
Numbness becomes a coping mechanism but as Brené Brown famously said, we cannot selectively numb; it you numb the dark, you numb the light.
The Pilgrimage felt like a powerful process of waking back up and reconnecting to awe, to wonder and to my humble place as a being connected to all other beings in the web of life. I felt powerful like a mountain and soft like a seedling. I felt my aching heart was nourished and sustained.
I felt connected to the things that really matter.
I felt the darkness of despair was lit with the warm embers of hope; and for that I am deeply grateful.”
“Caiyuda shared that if there are truths in your life that you’ve been unable to see, a commitment to this path can have a way of revealing them. There’s something about this exploration that is resonating on a level that I’ve never felt before.
I feel lighter. More present. Brighter.
My eyes are shining, I feel like I’ve had a full internal cleanse through this experience. I feel like this has been stripping away all the parts of me that aren’t me. Releasing trauma. Toxins. Dark energies I’ve stored in my body.
I’m becoming more myself with every passing minute. And that feels profound.”
“I have had the privilege of sitting with Caiyuda on two occasions.
Beautifully conducted experiences with the utmost care and control, bringing a wealth of knowledge from different traditions from many parts of the world.
First class container in every way. After 6 months since my last experience, for the first time in years I haven’t had any asthma. I usually need my puffer daily, so this is a great result.
I’m feeling a beautiful sense of calm and stillness after an initial couple of days of emotional sensitivity.
Truly a fantastic path of ancient healing.”
“I first had a healing session 10 months ago and I can honestly say that it has changed my life.
I have suffered from depression my whole life and have been on a 25 year healing journey. Walking this path changed my brain. The past 10 months I have not had one day of depression and I am really enjoying my new life.
I was recently lucky to find Caiyuda. He’s an amazing facilitator and held space in such a gentle yet commanding way.
Everything about the day was just beautiful and I will definitely be going back to him and have already recommended him to friends. He not only has the knowledge but he walks the path.”
I wanted to reach out and express my overwhelming gratitude for yesterday’s experience. It was perfect and you hold such a magical space. Your eyes shift things in people. It’s a gift.
These wisdom ways certainly knew what they were doing when they called you to service.
I got exactly what I needed and can’t wait to sit again. Thankyou.”
“I’ve had an autoimmune disease - inflammatory arthritis, which I’ve improved a lot with natural medicine, but since exploring this path it’s improved even more.
My digestion has been improving a lot throughout my journey, and through implementing all the changes that this path has offered to me, my digestion has become so much better.
In terms of my emotions and clarity, it’s really helped to propel me forward and allow me to do some things I couldn’t do before. I felt so safe during the process with the way you held such a relaxing, calming, respectful space, honouring each and every person there.
I can’t shout your praises enough. I feel like writing or using words doesn’t do this experiences justice, I was honestly blown away.”
“Big shout out to my shaman doctor.
We have Pachamama to thank for these wonderful medicines but I really want to express my thanks for bringing the healing to those in need.
You’re super professional, uplifting and caring. An amazing personal experience.
After two weeks of bad mental health and constant suicidal thoughts, I feel like this has offered me a lifeline and I’m in a place where I can pull myself out and reorient my life in a healthy way.
I’ve noticed such a major shift within myself this past week. You mightn’t realize, but you’re actually saving people’s lives. Thankyou mate.”
“I’ve been in a much better state of mind than I have been for a long time, feeling better spirited, more optimistic and confident in myself as a person.
I’ve been able to let go of some deep anger and sadness that had no purpose and had brought me down for far too long!
I also get bad bronchitis and asthma and haven’t been able to take a full deep breath without some sort of phlegm catching for nearly two years, constantly waking me at night. Despite the challenging nature of our experience, I haven’t woken once during the night, and I’m able to run without constantly coughing!
I can’t thank you enough and I’m glad I found my way onto this path. Something’s for certain, I’ll never be the same again after all of this.”
“I find this path super confrontational and I feel way out of my comfort zone but I’m happy to say that I stuck with it even when I wanted to run and hide. Cant believe I’m gonna say this but I’d do it all again.
My pain stopped for a few days, but a few days is amazing as I’ve had chronic pain for 19 years. I feel like a lot has cleared for me - definitely opening a lot of doors.
Thankyou Caiyu being patient with me. I’m very reserved. It did force me to go WAAAAY out of my comfort zone.”
“I woke up the morning after our experience feeling amazing, and I’m STILL feeling amazing weeks later.
Mentally, I’ve seen a dramatic shift, feeling motivated and inspired instead of held back by self doubt and anxiety.
Physically, I feel less tight and tense. My body seems lighter, as though I released stale energy and fear.
Even my dreams have even changed, from uncomfortable and stressful to positive and enjoyable.
The world needs amazing healers like yourself, who hold space with such integrity and respect.”
“After hearing about my family’s experiences, I had a feeling I’d be made to me feel safe and have space held for whatever would arise for me during ceremony.
So, I decided to fly down from NSW and my intuition told me I would need 3 ceremonies.
My intentions were for emotional healing but I feel like I’ve got a lot more than that. This path has shown me how powerful this can be for body, mind and soul.
I’m so appreciative for radiating such warmth and for taking on this path and offering these experiences to me and holding such beautiful space with a big open heart!”
“Post-experience I’ve seen some major improvements in my overall health, vitality, and vision - shedding a lot of stuff I’d been holding onto for a very long time.
My train of thought has been so loving and positive, which I’ve never experienced before. My physical body feels so amazing, and I have so much energy, which is something that I’ve always lacked.
I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to experience this. It was so easy to feel safe and comfortable with you.
I can’t express how much joy I feel in my heart and soul. From the bottom of my heart thank you again. ”
“Weeks have passed and what can I say… I absolutely loved your vibe and really resonated with the way you facilitated the space for this profound experience.
The balance between the practical and sacred was evidently thoroughly considered and it all flowed with cohesion and fluidity. This really brought me back into my body like nothing else has, not to mention all the next level downloads I got…
Thank you so much!”
“I’ve been so profoundly in joy and gratitude since our last encounter.
I still feel the experience within me and am just relishing the deepening of my connection to literally everything!
I’ve been using the tincture before bed and have been getting the most deeply restful sleep in such a long time. I was telling my mum about it and she wanted to try some as well. feel lighter, happier and just simply different.
Thankyou for everything. The work that you’re doing is so special in bringing us back home to love.”
“I want to thank you again for having me and my friend in your container. It was beyond anything I expected, and your work guiding me through the journey with your songs and prayers is something I’ll always remember.
I feel so amazing today. I had the best night sleep and feel so refreshed, calm and clean today.
My integration has been magic. I definitely shifted something that had been stuck for a long time. While the experience was quite trying, the aftermath has been bliss.”
It’s been a beautiful cleanse and integration has been smooth and positive. We really appreciate your service and humble teachings. We took a lot from that day with you. My chest is exploding with love and gratitude. All I want to do is hug and kiss everyone.
I am still feeling the love and healing integrate each day. I really believe in the work you are doing and truly see it as such important medicine for our times.
I feel honoured to be welcomed into your space and gifted such a transformative experience.”
"“The last few days have been such a beautiful unfolding of realizations and crystal clear clarity about where to from here…
…In the way of inner work, what I’m calling in, and what I need to continue to release in order to create space for this.
Infinite gratitude for this special part of my journey.”
“I am still riding the wave of love and clarity from our session. Your teachings and presence created such a safe and transformative space.
I left feeling more connected to myself and others, and that feeling has only deepened since. My heart is full, and I feel an overwhelming sense of peace and gratitude.
The experience has been truly life-changing. I can feel the positive shifts in my daily life and interactions. Your work is a true gift, and I am so grateful to have been a part of it.”
“Just wanted to drop a quick note to express my gratitude for our time together all those months back. The experience was beyond what I could have imagined. Your guidance and the environment you created made it easy to let go and just be. I’ve been feeling lighter and more positive ever since.
The session left a lasting impression, and I’m still reflecting on it months later. Your work is truly impactful, and I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to experience it. Looking forward to the next one!”
“Your session was a game-changer for me. I walked in with no expectations and left feeling like a new person. The way you guided us through the experience was truly remarkable.
I’m still feeling the positive effects every day, and I can’t thank you enough for that.
I’ve never felt this level of peace and connection before. Your work is something special, and I’m grateful to have been part of it. Keep doing what you do – it’s making a big difference.”
"The gift of shamanism has transformed my life in ways I never imagined. I’m filled with gratitude and appreciation.
My world has been shaken up dramatically in the best possible way. Thank you for your energy in facilitating our experience. I look forward to sitting with you again in the future. The journey has been wild and wonderful.
I truly feel like I've discovered a new path to explore my inner world and my relationship to the mystery."
“One can say, teach me what you know, but the better request is, teach me about what teaches you.”
