Growing on Earth Akademy
Connect deeply, grow vibrantly, impact profoundly.
Growing on Earth Akademy, based in Písac, Peru, offers a deeply personal approach to well-being, focusing on one-on-one and two-person retreats. The founder, a doctor of Gestalt therapy and self-described modern medicine woman, guides individuals and couples toward a more vibrant existence and a lasting positive impact on the world. This isn't a typical group retreat; instead, it's an intimate journey designed to restore genuine connection, moving participants from feeling isolated to experiencing profound support, as if held by the Earth itself. It's an opportunity to explore personal growth and relational dynamics in a highly individualized setting, whether you choose to participate online or immerse yourself in the Peruvian landscape.
