“Heartfelt thanks dear APL's! The plant dieta in the Peruvian jungle has led to a deep improvement in my chronic neck pain and headaches. A true miracle what this 14-day stay has accomplished. It was not just another attempt to treat the pain symptomatically but a real healing process at the foundation, at the very core. Stored for life are the wonderful impressions and experiences in the jungle as well as the warm hospitality of all staff in the camp. Thank you so much! Ben”

“Such an amazing experience its hard to put it into words. Thanks to everyone who helped facilitate this eye opening week of self discovery. Honestly the most life changing experience, so many positives to take away and implement into your daily life. Even as I meditate now I'm transported back to the sacred ceremony space and surrounded with the wonderful people I shared it with.”

“Hello. My name is Angela, and I am 47 and a mother of two teenagers. I have a professional career, and unlike the former version of myself, I write this review to help inform individuals such as yourself - you who are reading this and researching. I just completed a carefully supported 8-day Ayahuasca retreat with APL Shamanic Journeys in Spain. My life will never be the same and I am forever grateful. Today, I have a genuine abundance of joy ….and love for life. I owe this plant medicine from the Amazon jungle, the professional and caring APL Journey team, and the incredible Shaman healer, Alberto, my life. After a decade of debilitating health issues from lifelong stress, pain, trauma, grief, sadness, loss, holistic therapies, yoga and meditation, and traditional therapies and medications to treat my auto-immune disease, Ankylosing Spondalytis, Uveitis, and other health and inflammatory issues, I came to a rock bottom crossroads. I am the classic picture of looking healthy and put together on the outside, while broken, sick and wounded on the inside. After researching psychedelics as a healing alternative (I turned into a bonafide investigator reading everything), I decided to try to heal through Ayahausca, and APL Journey carried the best (and most) 5-star reviews. Nothing prepared me for the profound physical, mental and spiritual healing experience, for my Ayahausca journey was often a treacherous path to walk. Under the professional, safe, loving, and supportive guidance of expert facilitators, Boris and Sasha; true Amazonian Shaman healer, Alberto; experienced integrative psychedelics counselor and therapist, Amanda; and the wisdom from trauma and psychedelics specialist and psychotherapist, Ross; I was able to and radically unfold, heal and transform. Ayahuasca is a medicine that deserves respect for it is a spiritial and whole body alignment and unravelling of all things, patterns, toxins that need to be removed in order to begin whole again. It is anything but easy, and I am a different person than I was 10 days ago. With the deepest respect and gratitide, I whole-heartedly recommend APL Journey to anyone at a crossroads or rock-bottom, and looking for a new chance at life through Ayahuasca medicine, and looking for professionalism and safety. If you are seeking plant medicine or any kind of psychedelic treatment for healing, you also carry a great deal of self responsibility with your diet, full disclosure and eliminations of drugs, alcohol, and many other medicines. Therefore, if you are seriously considering Ayahausca, please be safe and responsible and speak with their team if you have any questions. If you follow their guidance, you will be in safe and loving hands with the APL Shamanic Journeys team. All the best to you and your next step to freedom. As for myself, my life is just beginning and Ayahausca will have an integrated role in it. With love, Angela Ryden”

“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.”

“The best place in Europe to connect with Ayahuasca. Deep respect to the tradition of the Amazonian healing combined with modern therapeutical understanding of integration process made my experience with APL truly magical! I can not think of another place in Europe that would offer an experience of connection with true Peruvian master healers in a comfortable European setting the way APL does it. I’m truly happy that these guys were my guides to the ancient tradition of shamanism. I’m forever grateful 💚”

“The experience at APL has been the most incredible experience of my life and has enabled me to change my life in so many ways. I can’t thanks the team enough for all the love and support shown to me. I cannot rate this experience highly enough but am so so thankful I was able to experience this powerful medicine. I look forward to one day returning and hopefully joining a retreat in Peru one day! Thank you all x”

“This was a life-changing experience with the amazing crew at APL. This is including Boris, Sasha, Amanda, Ross, Ube, the amazing chefs and finally Alberto the Shaman who looked after us every step of the way. We were welcomed on the first day and any anxiety that one had about the next 8 days was swiftly put to bed. I do not want to ruin the experience by detailing the ceremonies, but I will say that it is mind-blowing in a very safe environment. Just live and die by the following 3 words: TRUST RESPECT SURRENDER If like me you were coasting in life with some bad habits (alcohol to name a few) then get this 8-day retreat booked ASAP. I am honestly a new person.”

“Where do I even begin? This journey has changed my life. I come from a health professional background and have a scientific head, I’ve been in and out of depression for a number of years. I came onto the APL with an open mind and heart but not excepting the significant changes it has made to my life. I have been on such a journey and I am so grateful to everyone at APL for making this possible. I honestly from the bottom of my heart cannot recommended them enough.”

“My experience with Ayavasca wouldn’t have been so incredible if it was not for APL team. They surrounded the whole group with such an amount of care and individual attention that there was no question or concern left before, during or after the ceremony. I felt totally safe and supported from the first to the last minute of the retreat. The facility is charming and the food was amazing served in very generous portions - no chance to stay hungry. The ayavasca experience itself was something magical. No therapy I tried before gave me such an outcome in healing the old traumas. If you are still hesitating - don’t. It’s not a walk in the park and can be rough at times but once the ceremony is over you feel like a new person, a better one, a happier one. I’m writing this review a week after the retreat and every day during this past week I was pinching myself to make sure I am not dreaming but living my life. Thank you sincerely, Peruvian healers, for discovering the magic of medicinal plants! Thank you sincerely, APL team, for doing an incredible job to share it with others in need!”

“If you want to do Ayahuasca in Europe this is the place to go. Every single person in the team made my experience special. I had a great time, I felt like at home and I literally have only positive things to say. The kitchen team managed to make delicious dishes every day despite of all the limitations we had, Amanda, Boris and Aleksandr, our facilitators, supported us in every step of the journey, they really know what they are doing, so if you are looking for people who have experience with the medicine, you are in a safe place here. Our curandero was Alberto, again he grew up with Ayahuasca so he knows the medicine like the back of his hands and answered any of our questions, was always there available to talk to us and give us guidance. The villa is beautiful and in a great location, immerse in nature. Again, I highly recommend APL Journeys, it was my first experience with Ayahuasca and I never felt scared or uncomfortable.”

“If you are looking for an authentic shamanic ayahuasca experience in Europe, look NO further! The team at APL is nothing but remarkable. No request is too big or small and the whole team is genuinely there to help and support every person participating to the highest standards. The planning, organising and attention to detail are exemplary. You can tell these guys are true masters at what they do, from the moment you arrive. Having small groups of about 14 people is also a massive bonus! Thank you so much, APL. Boris, Sasha, Amanda, Alberto, Krystalyn, Ubi, Helen, Danielle and baby Mia along with anyone else I may have missed. I love you all so much! Peace & Love”

“Words cannot do justice to the wonderful experience I had with APL journeys. The best decision I ever made in my life was to spend a week with these beautiful souls. Everything was simply perfect. I will forever cherish the beautiful memories of my week with them. I wanted to dive deep within my soul and I not only connected to my soul with the help of the sacred medicine Ayahuasca but connected with this loving community that I now happily call my family. Thank you everyone who helped me feel safe and loved in my journey. Love and light 🙏❤️”

“I can't even begin to put into words my experience with APL and mother ayahuasca. The team at APL are amazing. Boris and Sasha have thought of everything possible to assist your journey into the realm of plant medicine. They hold such a open, loving, safe space for you to work through whatever reasons have drawn you to work with the great mother that is mama aya. You are in completely safe hands here. Boris and Sasha have created something so magical and so needed in the West for all those who can't get to the amazon for whatever reason. There needs to be more centres like this in Europe and beyond, but ones like APL, that value the traditions and sacredness of working with this powerful plant. The shaman Alberto was amazing, he held everyone with so much love and attention, he was always available to talk to, and he speaks English which in itself is a blessing to those who don't speak Spanish. His icaros were strong and beautiful and he selflessly shared them with us, so now we are all listening to them post-retreat to keep the connection to mother aya. Shout out to Amanda, Krstalyn and Ubi who were working with the core team and who provided such a loving space for us all during integration, one on one chats, yoga, breathwork, singing circles, workshops and sound healing. Just so much love here. And to all the kitchen and cleaning staff too. The food was absolutely sublime. And finally, to my fellow retreatants, I love you all so very much. We are family for life. If you are missing community, love and connection go to APL to rediscover who you truly are. You won't be disappointed.”

“From start to finish, the crew ensured that we were comfortable in the accommodation and well informed of the planned activities. I have a deep respect for Shaman Alberto - his icraros were beautifully sung and helped heal the participants along with the ayahuasca. I am really pleased that there were yoga, communication, music, and psychotherapy sessions too. I really felt that this event was the whole package. I want to give my thanks to Boris and Sahsa - they really have a top service here. I would highly recommend, and may even go back, should the need arise.”

“Sitting in the train home from a week with APL. What happens there could hardly be described with words. Amazing, unbelievable, full of love and joy night fit somehow but are still an understatement. What these guys, Boris, Shaman Alberto and all the other facilitators do there, is nothing less than lifechanging. Making the world a better place. You could fully trust them and always feel safe. Explore by yourself and afterwards think of my words 😉 Nothing but love to all of you at APL ❤️ Keep doing what you do 🙏”

“I'd give 10 stars if I could! There truly are no words that can accurately describe how incredible the 8-day retreat was. Everyone from the housekeeping staff to the facilitators were fabulous, there was so much love in the building! The kindness and compassion that was provided to every single participant was amazing. Boris, Amanda, Sasha, Krystalyn, Ube and especially Shaman Alberto, you are an incredibly attentive and loving team that made this journey what it was, and provided such a safe space for me to do the work. If anyone is looking for THE best Ayahuasca retreat in the world, this is it. It was the most profound, life-changing week of my life. I can't wait to return to continue the work and to be with all you beautiful souls again. I am forever grateful to you all. xoxo”
