The work has just begun. The retreat was very well organized and the people were so knowledgeable experts. I truly appreciated their experience with the medicine and how they could relate to what I was going through. Being supported with counselling plus the medicine and the shaman, made for a total holistic approach to this. I also liked that it wasn't just ayahuasca, but we were also introduced and educated about other master plants and amazon medicine and were able to try it. It was encouraged that we try everything that we were comfortable with and then we have the ability to go further. I was nervous to arrive to a location with 14 strangers. But they all became close friends. Sharing all our secrets and feelings and then going through the ceremonies deepened our connection to each other and to madre aya. Overall, it was life-altering experience. One that has embarked me on a new journey. A new path. Thank you to my group and the APL team.
