“A life changing retreat. I’ve worked through things & healed in a way I didn’t think was possible. One week on it’s as if I can truly breathe & relax for the first time in my life. An indescribable adventure into the self with connection to the earth, expertly supported by a kind, empathetic & knowledge team. Thank you so much Boris, Sasha, Celeste & the rest of the gang for everything you did. A thousand thank yous to Nael for your powerful insight & palpable compassion. I’m sure I’ll be back.”

“I scoured these reviews in the run-up to my retreat with APL and was comforted by the positive experiences. In reality, APL is so much more than any words that could be written in this box but I wanted to write them because if you are considering this journey, I cannot reccomend APL enough. Throughout the retreat, I felt so safe, held, seen and inspired by Boris, Sasha, Celeste and the extended team cooking and caring for us. Their knowledge and passion are infectious and the respect and trust they had for each other, for us and the medicine is second to none with a sense of humour to boot. It was a challenging but life-changing week and the gratitude I feel towards this experience with them as facilitators only increased since we finished our retreat. I won't say anything about the experience with the medicine itself as that is for you to discover but know that you couldn't be in safer hands than with APL. Thank you for everything, see you again when the time is right... ! X”

“What a fantastic place! If you've ever considered healing through ayahuasca, this is the place to go to. Don't do it just for one night in your city without preparation. Make sure you're with people who know what they're doing. The APL team is super attentive and this has made my journey an incredible experience! Everything was so well organized and the vibe was so chill and caring. Thank you all so much for your dedication! This retreat has brought me to places I had never thought I would experience! This has been one of the biggest highlights of my life!”

“It is so hard to find words to describe just how amazing this experience was! I just returned from the 6-day retreat in Malaga and am completely overwhelmed by the wonderful people and atmosphere, the deep and reflective journey with the amazing medicine, and the work with the Shaman, truly one of the most amazing human beings I have ever met. Boris, Sasha and Celeste who ran the retreat are truly wonderful and kindhearted people with much experience in this work, and the ceremonies, integration circles, all of my fellow participants, and the delicious food made the entire experience into one of the best and most important things I have ever done in my life. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to experience Ayahuasca in a safe and secure setting, with people who know what they are doing and in an absolutely beautiful and calming environment!”

“what a life changing transformational experience! I highly recommend APL to everyone interested in healing and learning about shamanism. the team is very experienced and takes great care of everyone during the retreat. Not only did I learn a lot about myself and shamanism, I also met many inspiring new friends. I will never forget this retreat. If you are in doubt on whether this is for you, I can ensure you that it is an amazing and unique experience that I have not experienced anywhere else. I am ever grateful to the APL team for letting me be part of this and I hope that many others get to experience it too! 💗”

“I don’t believe I’ve ever had a better week in my life. Truly. It’s actually taken me another week to process my experience and I have the feeling it’s one that will stay with me for a long time to come. It's incredibly rare to not only be able to put your absolute faith and trust into a group of, essentially, strangers - but to do so and walk away having felt that it was the best choice you've ever made? Let's just say there's a part of me that is still somewhat in shock (in the best way :) Though I’ve worked with Ayahuasca before, I feel as though my experience with her through APL was entirely new and separate from past experiences. I came to the retreat with no expectations, an open mind and heart, and full trust in the team and the medicine and STILL I was entirely transformed. I left the experience reborn, with clarity, gratitude, and what I feel is a radical new spiritual perspective. I’m actually excited to get back to aspects of my life that, before, I had been actively distancing myself from. I also feel invigorated to pursue a path of healing - a focus I'd previously flirted with but never seriously considered until now. You've inspired me, deeply, and that's not something you can ever ask or pay for. It's something transferred through only through the highest level of integrity and passion. I feel as though a fire has been re-lit in me, and it's one I want to share. Thank you for giving this to me. It humbles me to the very depth of my being to know the team at APL. The wisdom, love, generosity, compassion, and powerful support - I don’t really have words that can express my gratitude, yes, but also the awe that remains in my heart for everything you all are doing. This week would not have nearly been the same without your incredible love and joy. Everything was literally perfect. True healers, are you all. Thank you for creating a strong, unwavering, and keenly enlightened space for everyone. The work continues, always, and I’m honored to be on the journey with you.”

“Wow! What a week! I am so grateful for APL! The whole experience was wonderful. I felt safe, cared for and supported from the moment I arrived. Our Shaman Anael was incredible, his gifts are magic. Thanks to Boris, Celeste, Sasha and the rest of the team for making my first experience of Ayahuasca an amazing one. I appreciate your knowledge and respect for the medicine. I am so thankful for the incredible people I got to meet at this retreat and would recommend APL to anyone called to this plant medicine.”

“This was my first time working with plant medicine…and I was terrified. But Anael, Celeste, Sasha, Boris and everybody else who took care of this beautiful group of people that I had the privilege to be with made this experience incredible. Safety and setting, and and compassion are so important and apl exceeds at this. If you cannot commit to going to the Amazon this is probably the equivalent in Europe. Working with this spirit is hard, it’s challenging but also loving and kind and if you choose to take this step I wouldn’t recommended another retreat more than this one. They support you every step of the way. Gracias por todos”

“To the whole APL family, Writing a review digitally is generally with words however in this instance, Im finding it hard to search for the words that will do my week with the APL family any justice. I’d like to say a huge thank you for the most enlightening experience of my life. During the week with APL, it really broke down beliefs in my mind and opened up my heart involuntarily which is now serving me post-experience. To anyone reading this, finding it hard to decide which retreat to commit to, I highly recommend APL looking to take their first step into working with plant medicine. Thank you APL, Brad”

“Best week of my life. Went to Apl not knowing what to expect and ended up getting exactly what I needed. It's impossible to put into words but feeling Mother Aya's love is something I cannot wait for everyone to feel. The team, Boris with his brilliant sense of humour and kindness, Sasha friendly and supportive, Celeste the young wise sister with the heart and voice of an angel, Anael an actual angel walking on Earth, Mik, Daniella, Angela & Ubi all these people welcomed us all with an open heart and looked after us without holding back. There are no words to express my gratitude for everything they have done for me. I felt completely safe the whole time I was there, I knew I was well looked after. The villa is beautiful and the food amazing. If you're feeling the calling, trust this is the place to go. I will be back ❤”

“The retreat experience with APL was quite possibly the most incredible retreat I have ever been to. The facilitators, the accommodations and the knowledge all make this experience extremely comfortable despite the fact that you are going through quite possibly a major transformation! The structure for the 8 day retreat cannot be faulted. You are able to have enough support that you feel like you are being taken care of, but also plenty of down time to rest, recover and integrate each ceremony. I felt safe, cared for, understood and heard through the whole retreat, with sound baths, massages, one on one chats and the most delicious food. It was my first time working with plant medicine and I was very nervous, but the facilitators and the magical shaman have got the most calm, kind and happy energy that it really takes the intensity off. I can’t wait to come back for more. Thank you for all your work. Tehgan”

“I am deeply touched by this wonderful experience. APL stands for excellence in retreat organization. Team, location, information, preparation were just perfect. Beside the perfect organization I loved the traditional ceremonies a lot. I trusted the awesome shaman as well as the wonderful facilitator team at any time (which is key for a good Ayahuasca experience) It was not my first date with madre Medicina, but for sure the most profound THANK YOU SO MUCH”

“This was my second retreat with APL Journeys and this time it was even better than the first one. The work that Maestro Anael, Boris, Sasha, Celeste and the whole APL Team are doing is truly transformative. Everything was just perfect. The villa, the food, the Amazing people in our group and most of all the life changing ceremonies with the Master Plant. It could not have been any better. Thank you so much for the love, joy, happiness and support. I hope to see you all again very soon. Perhaps next time in Peru! 😃”

“The time with APL was one of the most transformative of my life. Being on retreat with others seeking healing, peace, insight and connection is a really beautiful experience. The APL team - Boris, Sacha, Amanda, Shaman Anael, and all the support staff - looked after us SO well. We were well fed, guided and supported in amazing ways that you cannot even imagine until you have been through ceremonies. The whole experience is incredibly safe and secure, and you are given plenty of time to process all the wonderful, healing experiences. If you are considering learning about Amazonian plant-medicines, the dieta, Ayahuasca, and most importantly learning more about yourself, then APL are 100% trusted guides on this journey. I will be going back for sure.”
