Today it gets controversial. Today it gets honest. I'm answering the question I get asked most: "Jonas, what does your retreat really cost, and is it worth it?"
But let me start at the beginning. With the poncho.
The White Poncho from Cusco
Yes, I'm wearing it again. The white poncho from Cusco. Hand-woven from llama wool, bought directly from the indigenous people on a small farm, where the llamas still graze in the meadow.
And yes, I wear it here in Germany too. Despite the stares. Despite the questions: "Isn't that too warm in summer? Too cold in winter?"
No. This poncho protects against everything. Against heat. Against cold. Against rain. And, if you believe the natives, against evil spirits.
To me it's more than fabric. It's a symbol of everything I experienced and understood in Peru.
Christianity + Shamanism:
Not a Contradiction
This is a hard question. Because the answer isn't simple.
I wasn't baptized in the traditional sense. But I was raised very Christian. I believe in Jesus Christ. In God. In the Almighty. At the same time, I believe in reincarnation, karma, energy work, shamanic rituals, and the power of plant medicine.
Over the past few years, I've studied the Bible closely. Different versions. Sacred texts. My favorite: the 1599 Geneva Bible.
Rapé:
The Shamanic Tool
Now it gets controversial. I use rapé almost daily. And I'll explain exactly what it is, and what it isn't.
When I use it: when I notice I'm stressed, foggy in the head, spinning in circles, or feeling blocked. It's not a recreational thing. It's a spiritual tool, the same way breathing exercises or meditation are a tool.
Preparation: drinking liters of lemongrass tea, until the stomach was so full that the vomiting came. Why? To fully cleanse the stomach before the ceremony begins.
Rapé was meant for those who had trouble purging. The shaman blew the tobacco into their nose. It helped. Instantly.
Then: the ceremony itself. Hours of deep trance, visions, healing. It was my first time. And it changed my life.
Why Retreats Are So Powerful:
the 5 Factors
Thousands of miles away from daily life. No stress, no distraction, no social media.
Time to finish your thoughts. To reflect, to meditate, to heal.
Peru, Egypt, Costa Rica: energetic power spots. Meditation goes measurably deeper.
A small group (10 to 15). Like-minded people working on similar themes. You're not alone.
Hot seats, workshops, kundalini, breathwork, hypnosis. All of it together = a turning point.
Hot Seats:
the Most Powerful Exercise
3 minutes. Describe your situation, as short and to the point as possible.
One by one: 60 to 90 seconds each. Their best knowledge, their personal life experience.
Sometimes someone says exactly what you need. Not me, but someone in the group.
What did you take away? What's your next step now?

Who a Retreat Makes Sense For,
and Who It Doesn't
Honest answer: not everyone needs a retreat.
You don't need a retreat if:
- You just want a vacation (book a package tour)
- You're not ready to really work on yourself
- You're only looking for quick fixes without taking responsibility
You need a retreat if:
- You notice you're stuck, at work, in love, in life
- You feel like you're no longer fully yourself
- You keep repeating the same patterns
- You have blocks you can't clear on your own
- You're looking for a week where you can truly unplug and arrive
"80% of people are unhappy in their jobs. 70% are just going through the motions. The fire is missing, and that shows up everywhere: in the relationship, in your health, in your life. A retreat isn't a solution for everything. But it is a turning point."
