Just came back from my 8-Day Retreat with APL in Spain a couple of days ago. I don’t know where to begin… Boris, Sasha and Amanda know exactly what they are doing and are doing it for the right reasons! The retreat was so well organized, they thought of every little detail to make sure we have a great experience. They answered all my questions quickly and diligently (even before I booked and paid for the retreat!), they made it easy for us to know what the entry requirements were in Spain, where to get a PCR test, organized transfers from and to the airport, etc. It made our life so much easier, and that way, we could really focus on the important stuff: healing! And I have to say, the retreat did exactly that for me, and more! I came in feeling so empty, and let with a sense of purpose, knowing what I had to do, and my heart filled with love for this place and its wonderful people. The healing process with Aya is not an easy one. It requires a lot of dedication, willingness and strong intentions. It can be scary to get into the unknown, but I always felt so safe and supported by the APL team. We were briefed thoroughly prior to the first ceremony on how it would be done, how to reach out for support during the ceremonies if needed, and had long integration circles the next day to share our experiences with others and get tips and advice on how to manage what came out of the previous’ night’s ceremony. Those integration circles are so important, and the APL team takes as long as needed for everyone to talk about anything. We also have the opportunity everyday to have a one-on-one chat with the shaman, if we need guidance for the next ceremony. And with Ross on the team, a psychotherapist, he will help you navigate difficult traumatic experiences that might have come out with Aya and give you the tools you need to continue your integration after the retreat. On top of everything, the villa is beautiful and so comfortable, with a pool overlooking gorgeous mountain views in the countryside of Spain. The team in the kitchen was wonderful, always smiling while cooking delicious food. If you hesitate between a few Aya retreats, I am telling you: go ahead and book this one, you will not regret it. 😊 I cannot thank the team enough for this past week, I am forever grateful for them and for the beautiful souls I met along the way! Love you all xox
