Ayahuasca Retreat Reviews — Helping You Stay Safe with 5,000+ Independent Reviews
Spirit Plant Journeys is a safe, experienced and transformative Ayahuasca Retreat nestled in the Peruvian Andes, created to help you open your heart, look within, and awaken to a new way. We offer intimate retreats with small groups in which we closely guide you through your journey within. We provide a healing space for you to acknowledge your truth; to feel, express, allow and transform.
Ayahuasca is a powerful tool that can help us uplift ourselves, heal our wounds, and let go of anything that no longer serves us. In working with plant consciousness, we become open and sensitive to everything that we are in relationship with, and in this, gain awareness, perspective, and wisdom.
Our highly-trained, experienced facilitators will closely guide you as you immerse yourself in this process. We believe that true healing is a beautiful process of opening up and awakening, and we feel strongly that this process can and should happen in a nurturing, loving way. As facilitators between cultures, and bridges between worlds, we provide a safe, open space in which we honor and respect every human being’s process in a gentle and kind way.
Every element of our retreat is designed to sustain real transformation. With a down to earth, heart-centered approach and kindred family spirit, we provide the opportunity for a life-changing healing experience. Our programs are held in the Sacred Valley, a safe haven from the noise of the city and the dangers of the jungle, and we limit our group size to a maximum of 12 people, allowing our Facilitators and Maestros to give you close, personalized guidance during your time with us. We are blessed to be working with a team of powerful Shipibo Maestros, the oldest lineage of Ayahuaqueros in South America, and we bring in both men and women maestros on retreat to strike a crucial balance between the energies of the Divine Masculine and Feminine.
Our experienced and trained facilitators serve as a cultural bridge on your journey, providing a link between cultures and plant medicine realms. They walk alongside you on this journey, guiding and empowering you with the tools to truly engage with your healing process. We specialize in providing support through pre-retreat intention sessions, sharing circles and self-inquiry on site, and post-integration sessions.
The healing process truly begins to take root when our guests go home, and as such, we believe strongly in checking in and providing support after the retreat. These are the keys to real transformation, to embody your healing experience in your daily life, enabling you to bring lasting change and growth into your life. After your last ceremony ends, the ceremony of life truly begins.

January 29, 2015 at 12:00 amMy experience with Spirit Plant Journeys is something that I’m not really sure I can put into words. Actually, I know there is a great portion that could never be put into words, but the rest I will attempt to articulate… Overall, it was nothing short of amazing. Through and through, a deeply profound, beautiful and life changing experience. The insights and lessons I’ve learned here are priceless and it’s one of, if not, THE most meaningful experience I’ve ever had in my life. Having such awesome facilitators and shamans to guide me through the experience was definitely key, big thanks to Neils, Sarah, Bernard and Gume. They are always there for you and whatever you may need, so you can relax knowing you’re in great hands, and of course the gorgeous, lush and cozy lodging area didn’t hurt either! I feel beyond lucky to have gotten so many great things from one place, and I would recommend anyone who is looking for a safe, comfortable, and powerfully transformative retreat to look no further! Thank you Spirit Plant Journeys!

January 20, 2015 at 12:00 amWow where do I begin? I just went on the most intense inner spiritual journey of my lifetime. I’m feeling extreme gratitude for my experience and for Neils, Sara, Bernard and Gume the shaman. What sets this retreat apart is the epicly beautiful location in the sacred valley. The jungle setting isn’t for everyone so this was a really pleasant place to do something like aya and San Pedro. The combo of the two medicines was extremely transformational for me. I plan on going into more detail as I document my experiences in a blog on mysticbabe.com in the near future.
As for the facilitators, Neils and Sara couldn’t have been more perfect for this. They’re experienced with the medicine, and are continually working to make sure we were comfortable and happy. I asked a trillion and one questions and they were always answered with compassion and patience. The food is great (exept when it’s not supposed to be on ceremony days) and the rooms are quaint. It’s basically like high end camping. The weather and rooms get a bit cold in that area so be sure to bring warm clothes and a good attitude. The day trips and exursions are great and all the work is done for you so all you have to do is show up with a smile.
Bernard, the San Pedro medicine man was an integral part in my journey. He has such a profound understand of the plant and of life itself. He’s one of the wisest and kindest spirits I’ve ever met and I feel so blessed to have worked with him.
This is a unique and comfortable way to experience your aya journey. I highly recommend it to anyone ready for this transformation. Aya is not for the faint of heart. Buckle your seat belts and prepare for a wild ride. I love you spirit plant journeys !!

January 19, 2015 at 12:00 amSarah and Neils put together an amazing retreat. It far exceeded my expectations and I can really say that this was a truly life changing experience. The ceremonies led by the shamans were always an amazing experience. They create a space where you can truly connect with the medicine and the people who will eventually become your closest friends. The excursions were an awesome addition to the San Pedro and Ayahuasca ceremonies they picked amazing ruins to visit and I highly suggest going on the Machu Picchu excursion at the end. If you want a retreat that includes amazing facilitators, loving, friendly shamans and a BEAUTIFUL venue. Spirit Plant Journeys is the place to go. Real people, real experiences, amazing friendships. You will not be disappointed.

We found here amazing fascilitators, whose work is not about the profit. We also appreciate a very clean and comfortable accomodation, lovely food, good room service and whole pleasant enviroment of Las Chullpas. Sarah, Neils and Nancy are very kind and helpful people. They allow us to stay there one more day before and after retreat. The Shamanic rituals was life changed experience. It opened us to higher self and

January 8, 2015 at 12:00 amSet in a beautiful eco lodge nestled in the Sacred Valley there is a calming and tranquil vibe and a good setting for the sometimes intense healing ceremonies. The food was healthy and abundant and well catered. The lodgings couldn’t have been better with hot water, comfortable beds and rooms cleaned every day. Trips to ancient sites and markets were a bargain and not to be missed.
But the real thing I came for was the ceremonies especially the Ayahuasca medicine which I had returned to Peru after 8 years to do again. The Amazonian Ayahuascero Guermacindo kept us all safe and guided through the journeys and his powerful singing voice just blew me away. I have such a deep respect for this shaman if I ever do the medicine again I would want Guermacindo to be there.
My compliments to the facilitators and staff at Spirit Plant Journeys for this great Ayahuasca experience, I learnt and saw a lot on my ceremonies and it’s still working positive changes in my life. The added extra to sacred Macchu Picchu is not to be missed.
Fantastico.
