Our Call To Service
Through various personal transformation and healing journeys, this call to be of service was birthed.
Having gone through many years of extensive training in the transformation and healing space allow you to experience in-depth healing in a safe and sacred container.
Our collective mission and purpose is that you feel safe, that you experience in-depth healing and that you receive the tools and necessary guidance to step fully into your authentic self. That you are able to go back home and implement the lessons, the insights and take daily action steps to continue to see long lasting changes in your life.
At Samskara Healing Retreats, we believe that you become the invitation for others to step into their greatness. When you heal, shift and transform you are able to share your gifts with the world. This is where you have the opportunity to bring to the surface what is no longer aligned with your highest good, who you really are and who you are becoming.
Our retreats are designed to not only support you where you are at, they are curated in such a way that it exposes unhealed aspects of yourself, old wounds or trauma that need your attention. That need love, compassion and healing. You will go through various processes that will help to remove the blocks that may be holding you back from being YOU fully.
Meet The Woman Behind This Mission
ANNA ISABEL
My name is Anna Isabel and I am certified intuitive life coach, trauma-informed guide, Somatic Release Breathwork ™ facilitator, ceremonialist and Usui Reiki master.
My passion lies in supporting individuals on their journeys of transformation, healing, and self-discovery, particularly through the powerful experiences that Ayahuasca and plant medicine can offer. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed practices and deep reverence for ancient wisdom, allowing those I work with to feel both supported and empowered as they step into their healing journey.
My path to plant medicine work began with my own search for freedom from limiting beliefs, self-doubt, and patterns of survival that no longer served me. After years of owning a business and operating in a masculine, achievement-oriented mode, I discovered a profound shift when I began to explore my inner world through Ayahuasca, somatics, and nervous system work. It became clear that true transformation is possible when we address not only our minds but our bodies, emotions, and spirits, creating an integrated approach to healing.
In my work, I combine the power of plant medicines with somatic practices, breathwork, and nervous system regulation to help you move beyond surface-level insights and integrate your experiences deeply. I believe in creating safe, compassionate spaces for exploration, knowing that each journey is unique and requires a tailored approach. My role is to walk beside you as a guide, helping you release trauma, uncover your inner wisdom, and reconnect with your authentic self.
As a moon dancer (Danza De Luna) with Chalchiuhtepatl Mihtotia circle I have developed reverence for the sacred dance of life, weaving together ancient wisdom and modern practices, infusing each moment with intention and grace.
Whether you’re new to Ayahuasca or experienced but looking for a grounded, holistic approach to integration, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll work to unlock new levels of clarity, purpose, and empowerment, honoring the sacred journey that lies ahead of you.
What Does The Name Samskara Mean?
A Samskara, in the realm of spirituality and originating from ancient Sanskrit, refers to the impressions, imprints, or patterns that are deeply ingrained within an individual’s subconscious mind. These impressions are acquired through various life experiences, actions, and thoughts, shaping one’s attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions. They can be likened to deep grooves etched into the riverbed of our minds, influencing our perceptions, beliefs, and behavioral patterns.
Imagine yourself standing on the banks of a river, gazing at the constant flow of water. Just as the river carries with it various objects and debris, our lives are shaped by our experiences, both positive and negative. In the rich tapestry of our existence, Samskaras are the imprints left behind by these experiences, etched deep within our being.
Samskaras are believed to carry the essence of past actions and memories, creating tendencies and predispositions in individuals. They can be positive or negative, influencing future actions and the overall path of personal growth and spiritual development.
Similar to imprints on a clay pot, which determine its shape and form, Samskaras shape an individual’s character, personality, and ultimately their destiny. They can be seen as karmic imprints that persist from one lifetime to another, affecting the journey of the soul.
However, the concept of Samskara also provides hope for transformation and liberation. Through conscious awareness, understanding, and spiritual practices, one can work towards purifying and transcending these imprints. By unraveling and transcending Samskaras, individuals can attain self-realization, freedom, and a deeper connection with their true essence.
Through the lens of healing, Samskaras offer us a profound opportunity for transformation. They hold within them the potential for liberation and growth. Like a key that unlocks a hidden door, the process of addressing and working with Samskaras can lead us towards profound healing and self-realization.
Healing through Samskaras involves a conscious and intentional exploration of these imprints. It is a process of diving deep into the river of our consciousness, examining and understanding the roots of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By shining a light on these deep-seated impressions, we gain clarity and awareness of the patterns that may no longer serve us.
Transformative healing occurs as we consciously engage with our Samskaras, inviting them into our awareness with compassion and curiosity. It is through this gentle exploration that we can begin to release the grip of these imprints, loosening their hold on our lives. By acknowledging, accepting, and understanding the origins and impact of our Samskaras, we open ourselves to the possibility of change and growth.
As we delve into the transformative process of healing Samskaras, we may find ourselves embracing practices such as mindfulness, self-reflection, meditation, therapy, or energy work. These approaches can assist us in cultivating self-compassion, forgiveness, and the development of new, empowering patterns of thought and behavior. Gradually, we move towards healing, restoring balance, and reconnecting with our true essence.
In the grand tapestry of our human experience, Samskaras serve as catalysts for profound transformation. They offer us the opportunity to embrace our wounds and vulnerabilities, knowing that through our healing journey, we can emerge stronger, wiser, and more aligned with our authentic selves. By engaging with our Samskaras, we unlock the potential for deep healing and the realization of our true potential.
We’re a highly collaborative and supportive team, coming together on every retreat to ensure each participant has the best experience.

INTEGRATION & COMMUNITY
We are huge advocates of integration. Comprehensive preparation for working with Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, Somatic Release Breathwork and other healing modalities we offer are crucial. We are committed to support your ongoing integration after your retreat as this is an important part of your healing experience. It is critical you commit at the deepest level possible to the advice offered by our staff before, during and after your retreat in order to ensure your healing experience is positive, safe and sustained over the long term.
The Samskara Healing retreats are an opportunity to rebalance, cleanse, and learn about your true self. You will need personal integrity and courage as you will face the whole of yourself, including “shadow aspects.” Although it is impossible to predict what you might experience with each medicine, it is essential to understand that Plant Medicine brings the experiences of your inner world into your conscious awareness; this includes the “shadows” within that lie at the root of disorder, imbalance, suffering and pain. We are deeply committed to providing a safe and caring environment to support you in anything that might arise.
