Spirit Plant Journeys delivered an unforgettable experience, no question about it. The ayahuasca ceremonies were intense and deeply meaningful, with the Maestra’s guidance shining through every moment. The jungle’s energy wrapped around us, making each session feel otherworldly. I loved the Temezcal ceremony—it was a sweaty, soul-cleansing highlight. That said, there were some hiccups. The accommodations leaned more rustic than I’d hoped—think thin mattresses and spotty hot water. Communication with some staff was also tricky due to a slight language barrier, which left me guessing at times. These weren’t dealbreakers, though. The retreat’s impact outweighed the flaws, leaving me with insights I’ll carry forever. Four stars for a powerful journey that could use a few practical tweaks.

I arrived at Spirit Plant Journeys with a heart full of questions and a mind clouded by uncertainty. What I found was beyond anything I could have imagined—a profound, soul-stirring experience that reshaped my entire being. The ayahuasca ceremonies, led by the Maestra, were a sacred dance of light and shadow. Her chants wove through the jungle air, guiding me through vivid visions and raw emotional breakthroughs. The Peruvian Andes provided a breathtaking backdrop, amplifying the sense of connection to something greater. The Temezcal ceremony felt like a rebirth, purging old wounds, while the morning yoga sessions grounded me in peace. The staff’s attentiveness and the small group size made me feel held and understood throughout. I left lighter, clearer, and more connected to myself than ever before. Five stars for a life-altering journey.

Spirit Plant Journeys has a lot going for it—the jungle location is stunning, and the ceremonies are undeniably powerful. The Maestra’s presence was captivating, and the Temezcal was a unique addition. But for me, the experience fell short of expectations. The group was bigger than I’d imagined, and the facilitators seemed spread too thin to offer much individual attention. I found the ayahuasca sessions overwhelming, and without enough support, I struggled to process them. The accommodations were bare-bones, and the food got repetitive fast. I did walk away with some clarity, but it felt like a missed opportunity. Three stars—it’s got potential, but it wasn’t the right fit for me.

The time I spent at Spirit Plant Journeys was transformative, no doubt. The ayahuasca ceremonies, led by the Maestra, opened doors in my mind I didn’t know existed—intense, beautiful, and humbling all at once. The jungle setting felt alive, amplifying every sensation, and the yoga sessions were a perfect way to start the day. But I found myself wanting more afterward. The group integration talks were insightful, but I craved one-on-one time to unpack my experiences fully. The schedule also felt packed, leaving little room to breathe between activities. It’s a strong retreat with a lot to offer, and I left with meaningful takeaways—just wish there’d been more support to tie it all together. Four stars for a great, if slightly rushed, experience.

I’ll admit it—I was nervous about trying ayahuasca for the first time. But from the moment I arrived at Spirit Plant Journeys, those fears melted away. The team’s professionalism and warmth were immediately reassuring. They walked us through every step, from the pre-ceremony preparations to the integration talks afterward. The ceremonies themselves, guided by the Maestra’s hauntingly beautiful songs, were powerful yet safe. I always felt someone was there if I needed support, which made all the difference. The jungle setting was serene, with the sounds of nature blending into the experience. The accommodations were simple but cozy, and the food was nourishing. What stood out most was the care put into making this accessible for beginners like me—I left feeling healed and empowered. Five stars for an exceptional, compassionate retreat.
