🔍 Critical Notes
AYAHUASCA RETREATS
The word Ayahuasca comes to us from the heart of the Amazon, the mother forest. Five million square kilometers of jungle that crosses nine nations of the South American continent and which is home to more than 2,500 species of trees and more than 30,000 of plants.
For the indigenous peoples of the forest, in its spiritual meaning, means “dead man’s vine”. Vine is the common name for climbing plants that wrap themselves around the trunks of trees as if they were ropes. This is a fantastic metaphorical image for the power of this mystical drink, ingested since ancient times in sacred rituals and for medicinal purposes, to purge and heal.
If this resonates with what you are looking for, you are definitely in the right place. Do you want to take part of one of our Ayahuasca retreats? Take a look at everything we have to offer…
WHAT IS AN AYAHUASCA RETREAT?
Follow the shamanic call and embrace
We want you to know that you already have all the necessary light within you. Unfortunately, due to our extremely fast paced lifestyle, we don’t always have the chance to nurture our inner light as we would like to. Open your heart and allow yourself to disconnect with the world and reconnect with yourself at a 4–6-day ayahuasca retreat, to help speed the process of ascension. It is said that Buddhists can take up to 20 years to achieve, what we can achieve with just a few Ayahuasca ceremonies.
Feel the connection and find the balance between body, mind, and spirit in this journey of the senses that combines Yoga, Holotropic Breathwork, Ecstatic Dance, Healing Massage, Ayahuasca ceremonies and purifying rituals such as Kambó, all in a safe space, in an easily accessible location.
We are talking about a sacred plant experience and, in order to achieve the best outcome possible it is crucial the right mindset and setting (physical and social environment). A retreat allows for the perfect container for you to receive this amazing experience in its full capacity.
Show yourself some well-deserved love and allow yourself to embark on this journey of light. Follow your intuition and may that intuition lead you to us. We await you with open hearts.

Ayahuasca retreats for people in the UK and other European countries
Can you take Ayahuasca in the UK? The answer is no. Ayahuasca is currently legislated to be illegal in many European countries, which is why you will not find legal Ayahuasca retreats in the UK or other countries such as Ireland, Sweden, Norway, etc. However, there are some safe havens in Europe, which is the case of Avalon. We are a Spanish-registered assotiation that complies with legal requirements issued by the main regional and national authorities. This is one of the reasons why our Ayahuasca retreats offer a peace of mind to many people around the globe whom would like to take this type of retreat in total safety and in a unique environment.
Moreover, at Avalon, we take pride in acompanying each person through their journey from beginning to end. This means you will get the chance to have a one-on-one online call with our organisers to talk you through the wohle program prior to the date, to prepare you for this journey, will guide you through your experience throughout the retreat, and will follow-up with you afterwards no matter where you are around the World to accompany you through your new-found enlightenment.
