“My deepest gratitude to the entire APL team - to Amanda, Boris and Sasha. To Anael and Yumbato. I could not imagine a more caring, emphatic, skilled and professional team to guide me through this amazing journey. Thank you. The place itself was amazing - Spacious, open and a very relaxing environment with great food. The ceremonies were done in a very safe, emphatic and organized way so that we felt safe. The APL team guided our small group through the whole experience with great care, compassion and insights. They made it easy to trust Mother Aya, the plant medicine and the experience. Our shamans were extremely great at guiding and controlling the ceremonies as well. All in all, it was such an amazing and life-changing experience. This was the most beautiful, profound and transformative experience of my life. If you feel called to plant medicine you owe it to yourself to work with APL Journeys, Amanda, Boris and Sasha. Love and Light. Keep being awesome.”

“For anyone considering taking ayahuasca I thoroughly recommend APL. The whole experience was a joy from start to finish. They looked after us so well, there was lovely food, the setting is beautiful and there was always someone around if you needed to talk about your experience. I found the ceremonies extremely healing. Each one was a profound experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I left feeling healed and very grateful for the medicine. And I was also grateful for those who give their lives to sharing it.”

“I just finished the 8 days retreat in Spain. Although at times very challenging, this was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done. I felt supported and cared for by shamans and the whole team and I made beautiful connections with likeminded people. My heart is full and ready for whatever future brings. I will definitely be coming back. ❤️”

“There is a reason I came back to APL. Each time I am amazed at how they keep evolving. All APL members are experienced and continue to expand their skillset to provide the best possible setting to work with Ayahuasca and other master plants. They stand at the vanguard of entheogenic medicine, uniting the best of Western science with ancient tradition and complementary therapies. APL go above and beyond to make sure you are in the best possible setting to work with Ayahuasca and other master plants. They carry the weight of responsibility, caring for people confronting their darkest challenges, staying up late during ceremonies, and this for a whole week and then again for the next group and the next. This takes superhuman motivation that can only come from plant medicine and from genuine intentions. I participated in several groups, and each time I was a privileged spectator to miracles. People finally able to overcome their traumas of abuse, rape and war. People finally able to give a place to their mourning. People kicking addictions. Fathers and sons growing back together. Men rekindling relationships with their partners. I have seen so, so much beauty.”

“I am so happy I undertook a retreat with APL and think this is one of the best life decisions I have made. I feel transformed within as a result of the journey and have cleared deeply rooted negative lifelong beliefs and issues, which seemed impossible to address. The APL team, Boris, Celestine, Crystaline and Sacha - highly advanced spiritual souls, were simply amazing in everything they did, having time for everyone and making each one of us feel special as individuals. It was the deepest privilege to meet and work with our Master Shaman Anael, to experience powerful authentic Peruvian traditional healing, and to learn from his extensive specialist knowledge and expertise in the field of plant medicine. This was the most powerful and sacred and transformative retreat I have personally experienced and I feel I have taken something very special and yet to fully unfold home with me.”

“I just finished my third retreat with APL this year. It's incredible how this intensive process has changed my life so far! To me, it is a miracle that my visions became true in such a short time. I asked for healing and received so much more. I got the gift to see who I am and to accept myself. Now I can follow my path with absolute trust and gratitude. That would not have been possible without Ayahuasca. What I liked best was the work with Maestro Anael. I am fascinated by his power and his warm-hearted way to guide me through this process! Gracias Anael, gracias medicina! I booked APL retreats 3 times because I love the way, the retreats are managed. I felt safe and protected at any time. Drinking Ayahuasca requires a perfectly safe environment. And that's what APL provides. Deep knowledge, great shamans and a wonderful retreat place.”

“I dont think words can describe the experience that APL journeys was able to provide for everyone at the retreat last week. It was truly a life changing turning point for me, and was a tough personal challenge. The support from the entire team was from the heart and genuine, and always there for you when you needed them. Many thanks to Boris, Sasha, Krystalyn, Celeste, Anael and the entire kitchen crew for keeping our bodies fueled up. I look forward til the next time our lives cross paths.”

“The retreat with APL in Spain was an incredibly valuable journey for me, and I think the team are doing a fantastic job. I have participated in similar retreats, and I was really impressed by the quality of care and the support APL provides, especially during the integration circles, which always resulted in constructive and helpful feedback to navigate and make sense of the experiences. I will likely be back in the future, and I would recommend APL to anyone considering this type of journey.”

“My experience with APL Journeys was fantastic. Not having had the experience of drinking Ayahuasca before, I had no idea how much care and attention the whole process required, and I feel VERY grateful and LUCKY that my friend recommend APL Journeys, and that I landed in their hands. The whole team is very experienced and all-around wonderful, and I always felt safe, which was my main concern and priority. Practically speaking, things were also very well thought out: the food (given the restrictions of the dieta) was great, the whole schedule (with integration circles, yoga, breath work, massage, and rest, etc) was very complimentary to the whole process. In short, I would recommend APL to anyone thinking about working with this beautiful healing medicina. I feel transformed by the experience, both by Mother Aya and her healing abilities, but also by the whole group of wonderful people that I was with and the APL team, and lastly and maybe most importantly, our shaman, Anael Rojas Rodriguez, that made the whole 8 days unforgettable. It wasn't always easy, but it was well worth it. Thank you.”

“Mother Aya had been calling me for a long time but I repeatedly told her I had no way of finding her. Her calls got louder and one night in search for her I stumbled upon APL journeys. My gut feeling was that she must be with these guys, so I pulled the trigger and booked my spot without hesitation. I was in for a treat and I consider the 8 days I spent on the retreat to be the most significant event of my 38. years of existence. Having met a true master of his craft Mastero Anael it was an honor of a lifetime and the same goes for the whole team Boris, Krystaline, Celeste, and Sacha as well as the team of chefs, masseuses, and sound therapists. I hold so much gratitude towards these people and as a true testament for the process of working with the teacher plant then previously "gratitude" was only a word I had in my vocabulary but now I´m in the process of further integrating gratitude into my life along with many other valuable trades. The journey handed me deep wisdom into my own being and gave me valuable tools to cope on a day-to-day basis. The 8 days spent on the retreat seemed equivalent to decades of therapy so much insight I was handed by mother Ayahuasca. I had the great privilege of having a great group of people alongside me on the journey which made the whole experience a lot stronger and a great level of insight was gained from listening to other people's experiences. My greatest joy was to have met a person on the retreat I had lost contact with many years ago which was myself. I come out with full acceptance of my wrongdoings in life and some very valuable tools to correct those behaviors. If you are having the same calls from mother Aya like me then I can tell you she´s already started her work on you. For close encounters with Aya, you should deeply consider APL. They have all the expertise for a pleasant journey, it´s not an easy one but with such a talented, caring, and wonderful team like the guys from APL you are at the right place. Just remember to bring your trust, respect, and surrender and you will do fine.”

“I stayed with the APL Team in April in Málaga and I have to say they did an incredible job guiding all of us through this magical week. It’s never easy to face your deepest fears and the things that are holding you back but I’m so proud everyone did their part during the week and left way stronger. Ayahuasca can definitely be scary every time you do it but the team was such a support during ceremonies. Special thanks also to Alberto for guiding us through and protecting us in our safe ceremonial space. I’ll definitely come back.”

“In a nutshell- profound and deep life-changing experience. I just happened upon APL online, it was the only retreat that looked reputable and worked with the dates I had available to me. So grateful the universe led me there to them. The team is incredibly professional, Boris and Sascha know so much about the plants and the medicine and have worked with it for years, I felt they really knew what they were doing and what they were talking about. The integration sessions with Amanda after each ceremony were so valuable, she is incredible and insightful. The accommodation and food were also lovely, despite no salt! APL placed a real emphasis on providing a physically safe environment and a mentally safe space. It makes me a bit nervous to try anywhere else now, to be honest! They've really set the bar as to how these retreats should be run. I was a bit skeptical that I found zero negative reviews online, even when doing a deep dive on Google, but I totally understand why now, and I'm already thinking about planning a second retreat with them next year.”

“Incredible. Such a life changing, mind expanding experience with APL and Ayahuasca. The retreat in Spain wonderfully hosted by Boris, Sasha and Amanda far exceeded my expectations. I felt safe, comfortable and looked after at all times. Ceremonies with Pepe, the shaman were so powerful and insightful along with the group sharing circles the next day. The food prepared by the friendly team in the kitchen was always top notch. Peacefully set in the hills it was never hard to relax while processing last nights ceremony or preparing for the next one. Initially curiosity was my intention for trying ayahuasca but I received so much more than I could have imagined. Huge thanks the whole team at APL! I hope to see you all again soon x 10/10”

“To the APL Team, Pepe and Mother Ayahuasca, you truly have helped change my life. I cannot begin to explain how life-changing this experience was and how much I needed it. I cannot recommend going on this retreat enough to anyone who gets the call. I felt safe under your supervision, cared for and respected throughout the process, which for me was both blissful and challenging at the same time. What I experienced, what I saw, what I remembered, which I had repressed for so long, has now freed me. Thank you for your kindness, your compassion and for sharing your incredibly powerful resources with us to help us grow and heal. S xx”

“This was the most amazing, challenging , but life-affirming experience I have ever had. Boris, Sasha, Amanda and the wonderful shaman Pepe held the space beautifully for us to explore our healing intentions and delve as deep as we wanted. The integration circles held the next day after the ceremonies were a vital part of understanding our journey. The group was full of the sweetest, kindest supportive people I could have asked to meet, all looking out for each other. It was magical! The retreat is in a wonderful house in the mountains of Andalusia. The staff in the kitchen lovingly prepared the dieta food each day. We were looked after so well. If you get the call from Mother Aya answer the phone- you won't regret it !”
