Where to begin? This was a five star experience from beginning to end. Pre-retreat - great communication from the team, very patient with all my diet questions and lots of information and resources to address concerns or queries. I also appreciated the thorough wellbeing check and the Zoom meet where we got to connect with the whole group ahead of time. At the retreat, there was great attention to detail, the location was fantastic, really peaceful and the ceremony space was ideal. As for the ceremonies themselves, I have never been on an Aya retreat so can't compare but I felt well taken care of and supported. Our shaman, Maestro Noe, held the space so expertly and compassionately. The facilitator team were always on hand and the integration circle the following day helped to ground and guide our experience. In addition, the extras were great - horse riding, massage, sound bath. All these touches made the week a rejuvinating and powerful experience. The team were amazing and clearly take being stewards of the teacher plant very seriously but do so with grace and humour. There aren't many organisations that are truly 5 star, but APL really are. Even with the few minor things that didnt go to plan, they did all they could to rectify wherever possible. I can't imagine a better organisation to enbark on an Ayahuasca journey with.
