April 11, 2015 at 12:00 amThank you dreamglade for providing me with one of the best experiences of my life! I had such an incredible time at this beautiful shamanic healing centre, where I learnt an incredible amount about myself and life itself. Stace has done such a great job in creating the perfect ayahuscha centre, it is on such a beautiful setting around a natural lake which you can swim in. Swimming the day after a ceremony feels amazing and really connects you with the earth. I have so much love for all the staff at dreamglade. Stace and drew are two of the most caring, non-judegmental, big hearted people I have ever met. They do all they can to ensure you feel safe during each ceremony and are always there for a chat, to listen to what ever it is you have on your mind and to give you advise. Feeling safe during a ceremony is essential and at dreamglade you couldn’t feel any safer and in more trustworthy hands. Estella the shaman is a lovely, very talented and extremelly hard working woman. She works continuously throughout the ceremony to make sure it is a safe, healing environment and I have a lot of respect for her. Even the cook at dreamglade is amazing!! The local kids sometimes come to the centre to play and this creates a really nice environment along with helping you to bring out your inner child which really helps during ayahuscha trips. There are also two dogs and two cats at dreamglade which creates a really nice comforting atmosphere. I left dreamglade feeling more alive than I ever had before, I felt so in touch with my emotions and understanding of my ego, and even after 3 weeks I still feel incredible! Sharing my experience with some beautiful, good hearted people at dreamglade only made my ayahuscha journey even more positive. I honestly couldn’t have picked a better place to take ayahuscha and I will be back one day 🙂

March 12, 2015 at 12:00 amI just came back from staying 4 ceremonies. Everything was excellent. The location was great and I felt like it was the perfect setting to unwind after some difficult ceremonies. Stace, Drew and Estella are all amazing. Stace has built something special and the whole experience ran as advertised. Drew helped me through some really important revelations and is just an amazing dude. I always felt protected with Estella running the ceremonies. I like that they didn’t try and nickel and dime you for everything like I have heard other retreats can do. Just be sure to bring your mosquito repellent. There may be relatively less mosquitoes here than other parts of the Amazon, but they still got me pretty good. I hope to come back someday. I got everything that I hoped for.

March 4, 2015 at 12:00 amI did a lot of research for an ayahuasca retreat that I felt would give me the safest and most authentic experience and I am so glad I choose Dreamglade!
My best friend and I attended together, unfortunately we only had four days spare so only got to participate in two ceremonies, however we both had amazing experiences and felt we gained a lot from our time there.
The location is lovely, it provides a beautiful and peaceful surrounding so you can begin to disconnect from all of the distractions in the city and relax amid the natural surroundings.
During the ceremonies Stace and Drew are amazing and will help you through any tough times, they are such lovely people and made the whole experience that much better.
I will definitely be returning in the future to take part in more ceremonies (and stay for a longer period of time), and would recommend Dreamglade to anyone!

February 26, 2015 at 12:00 amMy name is Damien I’m a 20 years old and I came from Canada to visit Dreamglade retreat center. This was my first ayahuasca retreat I stayed for 8 ceremonies and I had a very good experience receiving healing and insight into my life. When I was originally looking for ayahuasca centers I was skeptical of retreat centers wondering if they had a good setup and good people that were not just interested my money. When I got to Dreamglade before my first ceremony Stace explain to me everything I needed to know in a very authentic and caring way and at that point after seeing the beautiful retreat center and meeting all the nice people there I felt a hundred percent safe and on the right track. I think Dreamglade is a solid retreat center there is a lot of good energy going around there and it attracts a lot of good people with good intentions. I am very thankful to Stace, Drew, Estella, and the care takers for helping me.

February 19, 2015 at 12:00 amDreamglade incorporates an authentic experience under the guidance of a wonderful Shaman, Estella, with just enough creature comforts for us coddled westerners. The setting is gorgeous, food is exceptional and well suited to the work you are doing.
Drew is an exceptional human being. His palpable, heartfelt desire that each person have a healing, restorative journey while they are at the center is both sincere and felt by anyone that has contact with him. The shaman Estella exudes an heir of gentle power from her tiny frame and it is through that power that one feels safe and very much taken care of when working with the medicine. Her presence, her work with you on an individual level helps to jar those things which need to be purged…I spent 8 days at the center unwinding years of pain in the 4 ceremonies I participated in. This was without a doubt one of the best investments I have ever made in my life.
Thank you Stace for developing the center, Drew for just being you man, and to the rest of the staff of Dreamglade. I hope to return in the years to come.
