October 28, 2014 at 12:00 amVery beauty environment!! Very comfortable clear and clean tambos.
Having few difficult moments during the ceremony we have got full attention and incredibly much love from Drew and Stace. Definitely one of my best life experiences not just regarding to the Plant but also the people working there. The food was made with love, everything very clean – even if is in the middle of the amazing jungle…
Still feel very blessed to meet this opportunity.
Shanti OM 🙂

October 13, 2014 at 12:00 amThis was the first time I tried ayahuasca and I can honestly say it was one of the most fascinating experiences of my life. Right from the time Stacy picked me up from the centre of Iquitos, I felt extremely welcome and right at home. The lakeside jungle setting in my mind was nothing short of perfect and I can’t imagine experiencing this anywhere else. The ceremonies in the maloka with Isabels icaros, along with Stacy and Drews assistance made for a memorable and surprisingly relaxed atmosphere, which allowed me to really absorb the magnitude of what was happening to me and the group. Thanks again! I will be back.

September 28, 2014 at 12:00 amThis place is perfect. It was my first time trying ayahuasca here and I couldn’t have wished for more!
For me the balance seemed just right between idyllic jungle setting and some nice western comforts (e.g. Nice showers, thoroughly mosquito-netted huts, English speakers). Fresh food with lots of vegetables. The time flew for me just living at an enjoyable pace – having a swim, reading, talking, kayaking around the little lake, walking out into the jungle, doing yoga, finding beautiful tree-frogs and butterflies hanging out nearby.
I was out there for 5 days (3 ceremonies) and felt comfortable right from the start. I got more out of each successive ceremony and loved every one of them. Stacy and Drew were on hand throughout to support us. One person who was there at the same time as me was struggling with some deep personal pain and the level of help they gave this person was inspiring to see.
I could go on for some time about how great it is but really just go and see for yourself. Such nice people and a beautiful setting. I didn’t even really realise I was lost until I did some soul-searching during the week and I feel great now – really refreshed. I can see why people have said ayahuasca is like a rebirth!
I thin without exaggeration I’d rate this as the favourite week of my life thus far. I give it twelve stars out of five.

September 12, 2014 at 12:00 amMy experience at Dreamglade was outstanding. To begin with, the facilities are amazing, brand new, and built under the close supervision of Stacy, the owner who is so passionate about his center and will really make sure you have a great time down there.
So, like I said, beautiful and great facilities, surrounding a lake where you can go swimming! The private bungalows with view to the lake, are nice and cozy, and provide enough privacy.
The ceremony was for me personally, the best I’ve experienced (I’ve taken ayahuasca a handful of times). Powerful medicine, great shaman Dona Isabel is great at healing icaros. We had a full moon that night, and when the trip was over, we were met by the brightest fullest moon reflecting on the lake and casting shadows on the jungle, I thought that was one of the most beautiful things I had seen in my life.
I specially recommend dream glade for anybody who wants to try ayahuasca for the first time. Aside from all other perks, there’s just a laid back, unpretentious, safe environment vibe. The staff lead by Stace is friendly, accesible, and ready to answer all questions.
I would definitely come back here for ayahuasca on my next trip to Iquitos.
thank you!!
