Dear free spirit,
I’m so excited to share this journey with you. Ladakh is not just a destination, it’s a sacred space to reconnect with yourself,
breathe deeply, and experience the magic
of the Himalayas.
I created this retreat with great enthusiasm
and joy after living in this place, Ladakh, India for three months in 2025, blending energy practices, local experiences, and moments
of silence and contemplation.
It will be a time to pause, slow down, feel,
and return to yourself. And for those who joined me in the Andes mountains of Peru
in 2023, this journey is the continuation.
With love and faith in your power,
Astrid Castellanos

TESTIMONIALS
Sara, Portugal
Participant in our Egypt 2024 retreat and already signed up for the Himalayas retreat
This was my second retreat with Astrid.
My intention was to connect more deeply
with myself, especially with my masculine energy, which was very present and speaking to me in many ways: Take action! To anyone interested in traveling with Momentum Travel and Astrid, I would say, they’re highly recommended! I love the energy of the retreat leader, she always knows how to create an amazing team wherever she goes. These are truly transformational experiences that help you grow and become the best version of yourself. Forever grateful. Thank you,
thank you, thank you!

Tania, Mexico
Participant in our Peru 2023
and Egypt 2024 retreat
Besides fulfilling one of my dreams traveling to Egypt, it was truly an initiatory journey
of remembering who I am. The truth is,
I receivedso much more than I ever imagined.
My intention was to open myself to Egypt’s teachings, to remember myself as a creator goddess, and to receive from a place of calm, to reclaim my inner peace by being fully present and joyful. (And of course, to visit all the sacred sites, meditate, absorb the energy, and leave a part of myself there too.) To be in my energy of receptivity and total presence. I loved being able to visit the temples at times when we were almost alone. So much introspection, so much inner work, I could feel everything opening up within me. And most
of all, I feel calmer and more connected to myself. It was an incredibly transformative experience that completely renewed me.
A powerful journey, filled with deep insights and meditations and I’m already excited to join another retreat with Momentum Travel and Astrid. Honestly, it’s so much more meaningful to go on an initiatory journey like this than just visiting monuments without
the intention of a spiritual retreat. It has truly been a great awakening in my life.
Laura, Spain
Participant in our Egypt 2025 retreat
During this journey, I learned that love heals everything. This trip was about completing something I had left unfinished back in 2022, when I first visited the pyramids. The most valuable thing I received during this retreat was magic. My intention in traveling to Egypt was to return to love… and yes, I was able to connect with that intention throughout the retreat. These weeks after the retreat, back in my daily life and routine, have been filled with deep trust. To anyone interested in joining a retreat with Astrid and Momentum Travel,
I would say: go without hesitation.
Ángela, Peru
Participant our Egypt 2025 retreat
This was my second retreat with Astrid.
My intention was to heal my relationship with my profession and I did. After the retreat, I’ve been valuing my life more and appreciating the people close to me. To anyone interested in traveling with Momentum Travel and Astrid,
I would say: give yourself the gift of this experience, you will be supported and well accompanied every step of the way.

YOUR GUIDE:
ASTRID CASTELLANOS
Astrid is a spiritual guide, energy healer, teacher, and citizen of the world whose mission is to accompany souls in remembering their inner power and reconnecting with an authentic, free life aligned with their purpose.
Originally from Peru and currently living in Mexico, Astrid left behind a seven-year corporate career in the tourism industry after facing psychosomatic illnesses, surgery for a tumor, and a car accident. These experiences led her to discover the power of self-healing and her psychic gifts through Reiki, marking a turning point in her life. Since 2020, she has dedicated herself full-time to service, integrating healing, ancestral wisdom, and transformative experiences for those seeking to reconnect with themselves.
She is the founder of Atemporal Academy, an energy training school where she facilitates initiations in Usui, Angelic, Shamanic, and Egyptian Reiki, as well as the path of Kundalini energy activation. Through this platform, she also offers personalized mentoring for people who wish to build their personal brand and develop a conscious business aligned with their spiritual purpose.
Additionally, she founded Momentum Travel, a project born in 2023 that organizes international retreats in sacred destinations. So far, she has led transformative experiences in Peru and Egypt, blending travel with spiritual depth.
Astrid is certified as a Hatha Yoga teacher (200 hrs), trained in Ayurveda, and has been initiated into various spiritual traditions, including the priestess path of Mary Magdalene in Mexico and the Andean lineage of Munay Qi from the Q’eros in Peru. She also facilitates cacao ceremonies, meditation circles, rose healing, womb healing with yoni eggs, energetic cleansing with sacred plants and crystals.
She has trained in ThetaHealing, Akashic Records, Yoga Nidra, as well as complementary studies in astrology, and chinese medicine.
