IBOGA
“Earlier this year, attended an Iboga ceremony at a women’s retreat organized by Paije and her team. Having been in many plant ceremonies in the past I was struck by how luxurious the facilities were and the care they put in every detail. Once the journey began, I couldn’t be more grateful for all of the care and comforts that allowed me to rest and process while in a very vulnerable state. I felt guided with gentleness and respect by everyone, especially Paije and Ixchel who were always available and attentive with their wisdom and clear guidance, while giving me ample space to process on my own. The whole process was extremely vulnerable for me, I felt humbled (and tumbled) by the medicine, but I always felt safe and cared for. I could tell Paije, Ixchel and their assistants took their job and the medicine very seriously and knew the way it works on the mind and soul levels, which gave me comfort in difficult moments. I could see how deeply they are committed to the Bwiti path and wisdom that holds it all together.
Fletcher was present and supportive with his gentle and respectful presence in key moments (and offering support in my mother language, Spanish!) And Paul fed us with nourishing and rich foods. It was a powerful retreat, it’s taking me a long time to integrate it, but I feel I shed years and years of pain and grief, which is allowing me to get more clear on who I am, without all the extra emotional weight. What a relief! I will come back to this medicine when Im ready to go to the next level.
I feel so much respect for Paije’s work and her dedication to being impeccable in her transmission and guidance while holding space for such life changing medicine. Thank you! Bassé!

When I came to Paije for help nearly 5 years ago I was addicted to Suboxone. With her and Fletcher’s help and endless support we were able to get me off of Suboxone so I could go to Mexico to do Iboga. Being able to experience Iboga at ETÈREO was an absolute dream. And as someone who is extremely introverted and shy, I felt seen and heard and safe. Everything was put together and thought out so beautifully that I was able to just be present and not worry about anything except receiving. Chef Paul’s food was insane. I’d go back a million times over just to eat his food :)
Working with Paije and Fletcher saved my life. Bufo help me find my strength. Iboga set me free.

I recently had the privilege of attending several different retreats with Etéreo Baja and they have been truly transformative. Paije, Fletcher, and Ixchel are incredibly knowledgable, patient, and skilled in guiding us through these big ceremonies. They seamlessly create a safe and supportive environment that allowed me to feel comfortable and open to experience whatever came through. The medicine itself was profound, offering me deep insights into my own personal growth, emotional healing, and connection to the world around me. Each ceremony is so carefully curated, and I felt completely supported throughout the entire process. Chef Paul’s carefully curated meals are the cherry on top of a big ceremony!
Paije puts an emphasis on integration work and the importance of processing the experience and provides valuable tools for carrying on into your everyday life. This makes the retreats not only about the experience itself but also about long-term personal development. Since experiencing these ceremonies, bad habits seem to be falling out of my every day life naturally, while intentional healthy habits are replacing them. These are life-long lessons that I am finally able to rid my self of.
I cannot recommend Etéreo enough for anyone seeking personal growth or simply a deeper connected with themselves and the world around them. Paije’s dedication and humility to this medicine is absolutely obvious and she takes her service very seriously. Fletcher’s grounding energy and guidance during ceremonies made me feel so safe in moments that could have easily been overcome with fear. I would choose to sit with Etéreo over and over again. What a special experience. Cheers to many more - muchas gracias Hermanos!!!

“Where do I begin... let's start with the word grateful.... grateful for Paije and Fletcher (and their team) to have rattled and awoken the truth I knew I had inside. They did so by not letting finances be an issue. They knew I had been looking for this medicine. I had a deep calling for it and they sensed this and did not let money stand in the way of the truth. We agreed to a payment plan and then I became stoked! Stoked that my longing for this medicine was finally about to happen. The cherry on top was the ceremony took place on my birthday. I became a changed person on this day. I was rebirthed on my birthday. What a present!
I needed something to change. I was depressed, suicidal and self loathing. The medicine showed me my truth and showed me the path of least resistance to my highest self. The days to come would be filled with conversations I never thought I could have with an individual, joining manifesting workshops and executing projects I have put off for years. Not to mention the absolute adoration I felt for myself. I felt, and still feel, like a newborn baby with such a fresh perspective on life again. My husband and child see the change and couldn't be happier.
Thank you for giving me back my life! Thank you for my soul journey! Thank you for continuing to show the truth through integration. BASSÉ! MALEMBE MALEMBE!”

“My post-ibogaine aftercare experience with Paije couldn’t have been more positive –– she played a key role in my post-ibogaine integration and, by extension, my recovery from drug addiction. Without her support, I am certain the outcome of my treatment would have been very different. While I was initially tredpidatious about the time/money investment of a journey to Todos Santos, the journey to meet her was ultimately well worth the travel. The breathwork, massage, supplemental plant medicine, and enchanted beach walks and hikes to seaside caves were TRANSCENDENTAL. Paije is truly living out her calling and I am so fortunate to have crossed her path for long enough to benefit from her profound gifts. I convinced a skeptical friend to come along with me, by the way, and she left equally effusive about her experience. The services of ETÉREO have my –– our –– whole-hearted endorsement.”

I recently had the privilege of attending an Iboga retreat at ETÈREO’s in Baja Todos Santos, and it was a truly transformative experience. Paije and Fletcher created a container that was not only safe but also filled with love, compassion, and care. Their wisdom and insights guided me through deep personal work, while encouraging autonomy and providing excellent integration support for the mind, body, and spirit.
The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to feel at home. Paul, the chef, added another layer of beauty to the experience with his meals, each infused with love and positive energy, nourishing not just the body but also the soul.
During the retreat, I reconnected with my inner child, overcame chronic insomnia, and experienced a profound shift in my relationship with my son. I left feeling lighter, more aligned, and deeply grateful for the journey.
I would recommend ETÈREO to anyone looking for a deep immersion experience, where the retreat takes you on an inner journey back to your soul.

“The Iboga Retreat by ETÉREO, managed by Fletcher and Paije, offers a transformative experience for those seeking personal growth and healing. The retreat was nestled in a serene environment, and combines the ancient wisdom of iboga with modern therapeutic practices. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Fletcher and Paije are deeply knowledgeable and genuinely care for each attendee's journey.
The carefully curated program includes guided ceremonies, integration sessions, and plenty of opportunities for reflection and connection with nature. I had profound insights and emotional breakthroughs during my time with them. The accommodations are comfortable, and the nourishing meals add to the overall sense of well-being.
ETEREO stands out as a sanctuary for self-discovery and healing, I would recommend them to anyone looking to explore the depths of their consciousness in a supportive and loving environment.”

“ETÉREO’s land ceremony is a deeply loving and powerful offering for the community. It’s an opportunity to connect with yourself, those around you, and this beautiful land, while being deeply opened by the mushroom medicine and powerfully held by Paije and Fletcher and their team.
The ceremony created a much needed space for me to remember who I really am and what I came here to do. In Fletcher’s transformational fire ceremony, I was given the opportunity to powerfully release what no longer serves me. Watching my doubt burn away, I knew deep in my bones things would never be the same. Thank you to this land that has helped me heal so much and to Etereo, Paije and Fletcher for this beautiful space to reconnect.”

“My partner and I just returned from a private three-day retreat curated by Paije and Fletcher in Todos Santos. They have truly mastered the ability to create not only a beautiful space for their work, but a program that flows from medicine to integration seamlessly and with deep intention. The thought they put into each aspect of the experience is exceptional - the prayers, meditations, set & setting (ETÉREO land!), journey playlist, fire ceremony, and nourishing food - kept us feeling safe and guided as we moved through our inner work. They also connected us with highly skilled practitioners of massage, somatic work, sound bath, and cooking - Chef Paul prepared the most satiating meals throughout our entire stay..This level of curation is a skill they both deserve acknowledgment for.
What we’ve gained from this experience feels much bigger than we can even fathom at this time - and we see how it will continue to unfold in the coming weeks and months both individually and in our marriage. Paije and Fletcher show so much respect to the ancient practices they facilitate, while connecting still to how it all relates to today, the world we live in now. They have dedicated themselves to healing; the land, the animals, the people. We feel immense admiration and gratitude for the work they’re doing.”

“I had the great honor and privilege of attending ETÈREO’s El Inicio retreat, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. Paije and Fletcher move through their work with such grace, and curated every single detail with so much love, care, and intention. They created a warm, intimate container for all, making it effortless to establish authentic and meaningful connections with the other guests and practitioners, while providing ample opportunities for personal reflection and processing.
The retreat venue was absolutely stunning with lovely private casitas overlooking crystal views of desert and ocean. The beautiful meals prepared by Chef Paul Barbosa were, nourishing, grounding, creative and delicious. Supportive, yoga, breath work, and workshop offerings were also included, and synchronized so perfectly with the schedule of events. I’m forever mesmerized by the beauty and magic of the raw Baja desert where the land ceremony took place, and am humbled to have participated in such a powerfully immersive healing experience while being held in nature.
My personal medicine journey with 5-MeO-DMT was pure transcendence, and while I’m still processing this sacred gift, I’m actively witnessing transformational shifts in perspective that are integrating into my daily life. I hold the whole retreat experience in my heart with the deepest gratitude and reverence, and am forever changed. I felt so seen, connected, and supported through each moment, and am so grateful to Paije, Fletcher, and co-facilitators, Ixchel and Trisha for holding space for me in such a knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate manner. Paije and Fletcher’s devotion to healing and transformation is truly inspiring, and I highly encourage anyone who feels called to work with psychedelic medicine to seek out their beautiful offerings”

“My husband and I attended a five day retreat hosted by Paije and Fletcher in Todos Santos in January 2023 Seven years earlier I had been given a stage four cancer diagnosis. This provoked me to start a spiritual journey, and I believed I had healed. Now, my marriage was in shambles, I was betrayed, shocked and in alarm. Our relationship was hanging together by the finest thread. I had no expectations of the plant medicine, except that I hoped to be given something, anything, to help me make sense of and navigate the seemingly constant drama and crisis in my life. I am uncomfortable (terrified!) consuming any mind-altering substances, and I take very seriously the power and potential of plant medicine. Paije and Fletcher created a safe and sacred space for our group, and guided us beautifully into the ceremonies. They held the space for us throughout the five days. My experience was incredibly difficult, and at times beautiful. It was insightful, powerful, terrifying, glorious and profound. It is not hyperbole to say I am changed deeply and permanently by those 5 days. I am so very grateful that I was brave enough to trust and to surrender to the power of these sacred medicines. I have experienced on-going downloads of information from the ceremonies. When this happens I feel wisdom being shared with me, not at an intellectual level, rather in my very being; in every cell in my body, I. I have a template for this ’Truth’ and on any given day, when I remember to pause, I can remember what it feels like to be awake, connected, conscious and kind. To be love.”
—SALLY, 2024
“I am so glad I met Paije & Fletcher they made me feel safe and this allowed me to surrender in a very vulnerable moment. And in this type of inner work. Once you’ve done it before with other not so experienced people or simple other ways to work…then you realized the importance of having people that feels like family that allows you to be lead and released and surrender to the process to allow trauma to leave the body. Of course also depends on everyone’s situations to deal with. But I wouldn’t pick anyone else in the future. I want to keep my inner work tests with them now that I found them. Because I already find the right ones who I know I can just relax and trust the process and their guidances. I hope the keep that same way they work with their heart guiding them because it was so hard for me to find people to trust with the most vulnerable me. Thank you from the bottom to the top of my heart.”
— MARIA, 2024
“It’s amazing to meet someone like Paije, who is so authentic and radiates this internal beauty that is both soothing and inspirational. Paije was such an integral component of my journey, that I can’t imagine the experience without her. As this was my first journey, I depended on her knowledge and expertise for everything and she did not disappoint at any step of the process. She helped me to select a journey that was PERFECT based on what I was looking to get out of it. My jitters/reservations about going through it evaporated as we began the journey with a beautiful meditation and reading that got me ready to welcome it with open arms. The beginning of my journey was overwhelming, but Paije was right there to help me through it and her energy was just incredible. I am certain that I would not have had the great experience I did without her, and I got so much more out of it than I would have under any other circumstance. I think that Paije’s approach, which is centered on a broader healing journey that integrates your realizations/findings afterwards rather than just the experience, is the healthiest way to do this and I really appreciate her efforts to follow up with integration calls afterwards. I would recommend Paije in a heartbeat to anyone that is inexperienced with journeys like this but is curious and passionate about exploring them. She was the best person to introduce me to this world and I am eternally grateful to her.”

“I very recently had the honor of attending a retreat held and facilitated by Paije. I have been sitting here trying to find the words to best describe my experience and what has come to me is “LIFE CHANGING”. Being diagnosed with chronic and complex PTSD, I have struggled with my mental health for some time. Going to this retreat with the intention of healing, I feel as though that is exactly what I received, HEALING. Not to say that I am complete in that journey, as healing is a practice.
Since my experience, I have not had any anxiety or triggers, which seemed impossible. I struggled very badly with these two things controlling my life and now find myself without. On top of this, I for the first time in my life have love for self. I am so full of gratitude! Working with Paije has been profound to say the least. In my experience I do not think I could have felt more safe and supported in an experience like this one. Nor do I feel as though there could have been a better experience all together than the one that Paije ultimately created. I am forever with gratitude!”
— AMANDA, 2021
“I approached this retreat with a lot of skepticism, since it was my first time ever participating in this sort of activity. Simply put, Paije and her team blew my mind and made me feel cared and being taken for like I’ve felt very rarely in my life. The amount and level of attention to every single detail, the incredible caring and kindness from everybody and the sense of safety and peace that I’ve experienced are something that I would have never hoped for priorly.
From the choice of the (amazing) location to the organization of the daily activities and the thoughtfulness behind every single aspect of them, the whole weekend has been a dream. Without Paije’s (but really the whole team’s) care I would have never had such an incredible journey with the medicines, so I’m extremely grateful to them for allowing my first journey experience to be so pristine and impeccable and unforgettable (only in good ways, clearly). Thank you and looking forward to next journey adventure already!”
— PAOLO, 2021
“Wow. Where do I begin? Paije and her team created such an incredible, safe and nurturing container for the weekend retreat. It was obvious how much thought and care went into every detail. Every day was the right balance of structure with embodied activities as well as down time to integrate and rest. The impact of this retreat has been reverberating throughout my life and I keep receiving the continued wisdom of the medicine. Paije seems to be truly living out her divine calling with this work and it is felt in her reverence and honoring of the container. I'm so grateful the universe brought her into my life. I'll forever remember this experience as one of a kind.
Paije and her team are grounding and radically accepting forces of nature. Gentle in their approach, but firm and clear in their knowledge, they are the guides anyone would be lucky to encounter.”
— JASMINE, 2020
“I first met Paije at her Todos Santos retreat in October 2021. I had been dealing with depression, and wanted to explore avenues outside of anti-depressants to address my mental health. I was completely new to the concept of mushrooms as medicine, but in our initial call, I could tell she would provide a level of expertise, comfort and relatability necessary for me to feel open to the experience. The retreat could not have been more fulfilling. I went in without expectation, but somehow it was exceeded. The four-day itinerary moved at a perfect pace, easing in and building on various medicines, and allowing for both personal, reflective time and connection with the other participants, who quickly became family. The staff Paije chose also speaks to her ability to curate the perfect environment for this kind of work. I made a connection with each one, and never felt alone in the moments I really needed support as I processed every feeling that arose. Coming home from the retreat, I felt that I had turned a corner in my approach to depression, and have continued to work with Paije since then, using a custom plan tailored to my needs. Her work is so important, and she’s providing it on such a high quality level. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Paije, and plan on working with her long-term.”
— NICKY, 2021
“Ater years of therapy, yoga, journaling and various other healing modalities, I found ETÉREO and in less than an hour I uncovered and began to resolve a deep seated issue that has colored my entire life. The journey was powerful, facilitated with the utmost care and their family integration process helped tie the entire experience together. I am forever changed (for the better), because of this experience and deeply grateful to Paije and Fletcher for sharing their gifts with me. I highly recommend them to support you on your healing journey.”
— DANIEL, 2021
“This was the most amazing experience I have ever experienced. Fletcher and Paije are very compassionate, well experienced and knowledgeable. I felt safe and will never forget the compassion, love and genuine way they care. I thank you both for breaking open my prison of pain, and allowing me to just BE. I love you both.”
—Wendy, 2023
PRACTITIONERS
“Paije and Fletcher are consummate masters of facilitating healing containers, whether for their own clients or, now for enabling retreat hosts to easily and efficiently utilize their spaces. Their decades of experience comes in handy for me because everything - EVERY detail and every possible scenario has been already thought of and incorporated with us retreat hosts in mind!
In my years of sitting with shamanic medicine practitioners around the globe, Paije and Fletch continue to astound with their remarkable discernment in navigating ancestral wisdom with Western therapeutic approaches and outlooks. Their commitment to safety is unparalleled, as is their honest advice and insights regarding the hosting of medicine retreats. Thank you Paije and Fletcher for raising the standard of ethics and care in shamanic medicine containers! I continue to be very, very inspired.”
—IXCHEL, Plant MEDICINE GUIDE
“There is a refreshing sense of ease and safety in the ETÉREO space. As a healing arts practitioner, I have been working with retreats in the realm of plant medicine for the last 10 years. The guests land on my table for Massage Therapy or Biodynamic Craniosacral with a curious, renewed sense of self to process their embodiment deeper for more clarity in their integration processes. Working with the team at ETÉREO is like a graduation of experience and skill set. They give careful thought and attention to all phases of the retreat and they raise standards in the field far beyond what is common. There is a poem I love by a Dzogchen master Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, which I feel like Paije and Fletcher channel the essence of perfectly as they guide the guests through frontier of their healing.
‘Rest in natural great peace, this exhausted mind,
Beaten helplessly by karma and neurotic thoughts.
Like the relentless fury of the pounding waves.
Rest in great natural peace.”
—KRISTIN, CRANIOSACRAL + MASSAGE THERAPIST
“I have had the pleasure of working with the ETÉREO team over the last few years, and let me say, I am blown away. Both Paije and Fletcher are personable, warm, and easy to work with. They invite collaboration and are open minded. Their attention to detail is apparent in everything they do, from aesthetics to client care and safety. There’s no ego here, only grounded expertise. This is not always the case in the health and wellness world, so finding them was refreshing for me. I would absolutely recommend working with ETÉREO to anyone, whether you’re creating a retreat or planning an event!”
