Transformational – highly recommend
The AF exceeds all expectations. They sent materials and conducted calls in advance of the retreat to ensure that I was fully prepared. The retreat itself was in a great location in the jungle and more than met my needs. Several therapies and plant medicines were provided. And the facilitators that oversaw the process were superb. It all resulted in me having a truly transformative experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing!
What an experience – I met people who are now my family, I challenged myself beyond words, I have been supported and loved every step of the way. It’s beautifully designed so you know enough to follow through with the immediate things in front of you and not get overwhelmed. Get ready to shed some emotional weight, feel nature like never before and get educated on all sorts of things. Life changing experience!

Mind blowing rebirth
It s been years that Ayahuasca called in. After a couple (and disappointing I reckon now) of retreats with Abuelita in Europe, it had come the time for me to live what a truly retreat is… I return home with an enlightened heart and spirit… I am still processing what unfolded in that so beautiful, blissful, peaceful place in the middle of the jungle, where I shared my days and nights with a bunch of awesome hearts and souls and a so valuable, skilled, knowledgeable team. I will obviously come back here to keep on that journey with plants for my own good and those of the humanity.

Never ceases to amaze!
I had gone three years ago and had an enlightening experience but this past March 2024 was transcendent. The facilitators all helped to make this experience extremely comfortable and guided us every step of the way. Doña Angela was incredibly powerful but so gentle. Her motherly, gentle but strong energy made this by far the most transcendent experience I’ve ever had in my life! Anyone looking to explore the unseen world should definitely experience this retreat! All of our group left changed in the most profound ways!

Best Thing I’ve Ever Done!
I just completed the 4-week Empowerment Course and I can tell you that this is, by far, one of the most difficult things I have ever done in my life, but I can also tell you that it is, by far, one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life! The staff are absolutely fantastic and so supportive and knowledgeable and the center is really nice. I had my own room with a private bathroom and a little reading nook that looked out onto the jungle behind. This is way above and beyond a retreat and will develop your love and respect for the plant world, as well as giving you the skills and confidence to continue working with plants once you return home. I have a lot to be thankful and grateful to the AF for and for the first time in a lot of years, I have hope that I can completely heal and move forward in good health.

Mind blowing rebirth
I recently completed a 10-day retreat with the Ayahuasca Foundation, and the experience was nothing short of transformational. This journey was a profound breakthrough in my life, offering deep healing, cleansing, and nurturing moments that have unlocked new paths of discovery within myself. It was truly life-altering. The retreat fostered a significant improvement in my relationship with nature, myself, and others. Through this immersive experience, I gained invaluable spiritual insights and emerged with a profound sense of appreciation, gratitude, and connectedness. This experience has reshaped my outlook on life and equipped me with perspectives and tools that continue to enrich my daily existence. Highly recommended for those seeking meaningful transformation and growth.

Just How Powerful We Are
It is a life changing experience! I lived for 8 weeks as a spirit so happy floating around and tapped into unknown sides of me. I found connection to God. Plants are all so alive and telepathically communicating at all times. All plant medicine is amazingly healing and did exactly what it is said to do. I tuned in to feel like that is our real state of being to feel magic, creativity, lightness, beauty, empowerment. That was incredible to find out that I can sing when I haven’t even learned one song in my lifetime. I felt my memory was incredible, I could memorize anything, my head space was so clear, my will power was back, my boundaries are so strong and ego became very small. I really walk joyfully as a very happy child. I found everyone being very kind and carrying. You will get basic food as expected but it is more than enough and just perfect. I have learned how powerful I can be and I know that we all are. It reminded me of a lion story, who was raised by sheep and thought he was a sheep until he got awakened by another lion.

Incredible 2 Month Initiation Course
There are lots of retreat centers that one can attend for personal growth and healing. Ayahuasca Foundation offers the only opportunity for one to learn Shipibo traditions and practices from maestro Don Enrique. If you are interested in expanding your practice so that you can create space for others, this is the learning experience for you. During the 2 months you will have the opportunity to participate in two dietas from master plants, fasting, learn Shipibo icaros, participate in healing vapor baths, learn about the healing properties of numerous plants, receive personal healing from these plants, learn how to hold and navigate ceremony space, hold space during a student lead ceremony for all other participants, and more! Maestro Don Enrique opens up his community and shares his knowledge to be spread all over the world for all humanity to benefit. This is a tough course that will test your comfort level on a spiritual and physical level. If you are lookin for grow on this path, I highly recommend Ayahuasca Foundation.

Amazing Retreat! So Healing
This was such an amazing retreat and so healing. The staff are so kind and knowledgeable. The curandero, don Ronor, is an incredible maestro. Riosbo is a really nice and comfortable center in the jungle. I highly recommend this place for healing! You get to experience a wide range of Shipibo treatments as well as breath work, meditation, and other western treatments. It was amazing.
