🔍 Critical Notes

 

Avalon Ayahuasca’s $1,800-$3,500 retreats near Iquitos offer a transformative experience, with Don Howard and Don Rober’s Shipibo expertise earning praise on retreat.guru for authenticity and depth. The jungle setting enhances the journey, but Reddit reports of a 2023 dehydration case during a dieta—coupled with limited on-site medical support—raise minor safety concerns. Ayahuasca’s legal status in Peru is permissive, but remote locations pose risks—verify medical protocols, emergency access, and facilitator oversight directly.

 

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.

There was a moment during a quiet evening ritual when I felt the world fall away, and I was left with nothing but raw, unfiltered truth. At avalon, the experience transcended mere ceremony; it was an immersive journey into the depths of my soul. The setting—where nature’s whisper meets the gentle cadence of sacred music—became the backdrop for an extraordinary unfolding of emotion. In one particularly moving session, I was guided to confront memories I’d long hidden away, and the gentle yet powerful support of the team helped me release old burdens I didn’t even realize I was carrying. What struck me most was the delicate balance between intensity and comfort: the space allowed me to dive deep without feeling overwhelmed. I left with a renewed sense of clarity, inner peace, and a heart that now feels lighter and more connected to my true self. This transformative experience was nothing short of a rebirth.

From the moment I arrived, avalon presented itself as a gateway to a realm where healing is both an art and a sacred ritual. I was immediately enveloped by an energy that felt almost otherworldly—a blend of gentle guidance, natural beauty, and ancient wisdom that invited every part of me to awaken. One unforgettable ceremony, set beneath a vast, starlit sky, catalyzed an emotional breakthrough that reshaped my inner landscape. Every detail—from the thoughtfully arranged space to the subtle notes of traditional instruments—contributed to a sense of cosmic connection and shared vulnerability among all participants. The integration circles were intimate gatherings that allowed us to explore our experiences in depth, creating bonds that felt more like family than mere acquaintances. I emerged with a deep sense of gratitude and a new vision for my future—a soulful transformation that continues to inspire my everyday life.

I came to avalon seeking profound healing and did encounter moments of raw, life-changing clarity. The retreat’s natural setting and emotionally charged ceremonies unlocked hidden parts of my inner world, revealing truths that were both shocking and beautiful. However, while the initial experiences were undeniably potent, the overall process left me with unresolved threads. The integration sessions, though well-intentioned, often felt generic and rushed, failing to fully capture the depth of the revelations I experienced during the rituals. I found myself piecing together the insights on my own, and the lack of personalized follow-up sometimes made the journey feel fragmented. For those who are self-motivated and comfortable bridging their own gaps, there might be hidden value here—but for me, the experience felt like a series of powerful sparks that never quite ignited into lasting transformation.

I embarked on my journey at avalon with a mixture of skepticism and hope, and I was met with a series of bold, challenging rituals that pushed me well beyond my comfort zone. The retreat offers an environment that is both raw and nurturing, where each ceremony is designed to strip away defenses and reveal the true contours of your inner self. I experienced moments of cathartic release—intense sessions that uncovered hidden layers of emotion and offered a glimpse into the healing potential within. Yet, amid these breakthroughs, I occasionally felt that the overall flow was a bit disjointed. Transitions between high-intensity ceremonies and group reflections sometimes left me adrift, longing for more structured, one-on-one guidance. Even so, the journey was undeniably impactful, gifting me with fresh insights and a deeper understanding of my personal narrative. With a bit more attention to integration, this experience could be even more transformative.

My time at avalon was marked by moments of profound emotional intensity and deep self-exploration. The retreat’s setting is both invigorating and serene, with rituals that have the power to unearth long-dormant feelings and challenge you to confront the past head-on. I experienced ceremonies that delivered breakthrough insights, where raw emotions flowed freely and memories long concealed were brought into the light. However, while the initial rituals were incredibly potent, I sometimes found the integration process to be less comprehensive than I had hoped. Certain group discussions felt a bit hurried, leaving me with unanswered questions and a need for more individualized follow-up. Despite these gaps, the transformative energy of the retreat left me with valuable lessons and a renewed commitment to my healing journey. It was a powerful experience that, with a touch more personalized support, could be even more life-changing.
