Before booking my first ever Ayahuasca retreat I spent a good month going back and forth researching every place I could, learn more about the shamans for the retreat, and had a thorough list of questions ready for the organizers. APL Journeys was always at the top of my list, but even with the overwhelming 5 star reviews I saw everywhere, I knew that this was a big step and had to be done with the right people and the right shaman. Now that it has been 3 weeks since the July 2021 retreat in Spain, all I can say is that they exceeded my expectations and gifted me with so much comfort, support, and understanding the whole way through (even before booking with all of my questions!). Boris, Sasha, Amanda, and our Ecuadorian Shaman, Roman - crafted the safest space for our mind, spirit, and heart. So much was gained because of the intention they put into getting to know us and into making sure everything from accommodation, food, and even late night emotional support was available and handled with the highest of care and attention. I am becoming stronger and more authentic thanks to this life changing retreat. I hope that if you have all of the drive and motivation to heal, know that you will surely be gifted with a community of mighty select group that sees you and wants nothing more than to get you there. Will be making sure I do another retreat with my husband because of how fantastic this was
