Feather Crown

Feather Crown is a special place—I’ll give it that. The jungle setting is stunning, and the ayahuasca ceremonies were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, led by facilitators who clearly know their stuff. The guided walks to sacred sites were a peaceful escape, and the cleansing rituals left me feeling refreshed. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. The accommodations were pretty basic—think thin mattresses and shared bathrooms—which made it tough to recharge after the ceremonies. The purging during the ayahuasca sessions was intense, and while the facilitators were supportive, I sometimes felt a bit lost in the shuffle. Still, the retreat’s beauty and the insights I gained made it worthwhile. Four stars for a powerful experience that could use a touch more comfort.

I had an amazing time at Feather Crown, though it wasn’t perfect. The retreat’s jungle vibe is unreal—lush greenery, sacred sites, and a sense of stepping into another world. The ayahuasca ceremonies were transformative, guided by facilitators who brought depth and authenticity to every moment. The plant baths and jungle walks were grounding and beautiful, adding to the spiritual flavor of the retreat. My only gripe? The group size felt a little too big. With so many people, it was hard to get the personal attention I wanted, especially during integration. The accommodations were simple but fine, and the food was fresh, though not very varied. Four stars for a wonderful retreat that could shine even brighter with smaller, more intimate groups.

Feather Crown was a lifeline when I needed it most. I arrived carrying years of emotional baggage, hoping the ayahuasca ceremonies could help me find peace. They did that and more. The retreat’s jungle setting felt like a cocoon—wild, vibrant, and nurturing. The facilitators were incredible, blending traditional knowledge with genuine compassion to guide us through each ceremony. The visions I experienced were intense but profoundly healing, and the integration sessions afterward helped me process everything with clarity. The purification baths and jungle walks added layers of renewal I hadn’t expected, connecting me to the land and its sacred energy. I left feeling lighter, stronger, and truly transformed. Five stars for a retreat that gave me back my hope.

Feather Crown had all the ingredients for a life-changing retreat, but it fell short for me. The jungle setting is undeniably gorgeous—thick forests, sacred spots, and a raw energy that’s hard to ignore. The ayahuasca ceremonies were intense and well-led, but I often felt overwhelmed without enough support to navigate the experience. The group was larger than I’d hoped, which made it feel impersonal at times. The accommodations were a letdown—bare-bones beds and limited privacy didn’t match the spiritual vibe I was expecting. I also found the schedule a bit disorganized, leaving me unsure of what was next. The cleansing rituals and jungle walks were nice, but they couldn’t offset the bigger issues. Three stars for a retreat with promise, but one that needs more polish and care.

From the moment I arrived at Feather Crown, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. The retreat is tucked away in the lush Ecuadorian jungle, a place where the air hums with life and the trees seem to whisper ancient secrets. I came seeking spiritual growth, and I left with so much more. The ayahuasca ceremonies were the heart of the experience—powerful, introspective, and guided by facilitators who radiated wisdom and care. The cleansing rituals and plant baths beforehand felt like a sacred preparation, stripping away the noise of the modern world. The guided walks through the jungle to sacred sites were a highlight, deepening my connection to nature in ways I never thought possible. The other guests became a tight-knit community, and the facilitators fostered an environment of trust and respect. Falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle was pure magic. Five stars for a retreat that opened my soul to new possibilities.
