- Safe Environment: Many praise the staff’s care, noting on ayaadvisors.org the intimate setting (max 12 guests) and shamans’ 50+ years of experience ensured safety.

đźš© Incident Report
After a thorough investigation across multiple platforms—including Reddit (r/Ayahuasca, r/Psychonaut), Quora, Facebook groups (“Psychedelic Healing,” “Ayahuasca Experiences”), news outlets, retreat forums, ICEERS reports, and official records—one unverified report of privacy misconduct linked to Feather Crown was identified, but no verified incidents of theft, sexual misconduct, or crime were found.
- Theft/Privacy Misconduct: A 2016 review alleges Feather Crown created a fake website using the reviewer’s personal information (profession, location, photo) after they investigated an unspecified incident, also sharing their details with another guest without consent. Despite requests, the website wasn’t removed, though this remains unverified without legal action or corroboration.
- Sexual Misconduct: There are no documented allegations, complaints, or legal actions against Feather Crown’s staff or facilitators in online discussions, news archives, or ICEERS resources.
- Crime: No evidence of police reports, arrests, or violent incidents associated with Feather Crown surfaced in Google News, Ecuadorian media, retreat forums, or ICEERS findings.
Feather Crown has a mixed online reputation due to the unverified privacy misconduct claim on ayaadvisors.org. Positive testimonials on the same platform highlight its transformative impact, but the privacy issue raises significant concerns about trust and safety.
🔍 Critical Notes
Feather Crown’s $1,500-$3,000 ayahuasca retreat in Ecuador offers a deep Amazonian experience, praised on ayaadvisors.org for its intimate setting and experienced shamans, with a focus on sustainability. The Llanganates jungle setting is a draw, but a 2016 privacy breach allegation (fake website with personal data) on ayaadvisors.org raises serious trust concerns, though unverified from a 100% commercial source. Ayahuasca’s legal status in Ecuador is ambiguous, and dated reviews suggest caution—verify current operations, privacy policies, and safety protocols directly.
