Aya Quest performs Ayahausca Ceremonies in Kentucky. Our Shaman/Chaplains provide a safe forum for you to experience Ayahausca in context with your goals.
Great ceremony, highly recommend for most people. Clean and comfortable place with an awesome atmosphere for the journey. The whole thing is well organized and the guides/founders Steve and Teri are helpful, wise and very experienced with these ceremonies. Megan and Paige, the assistants, will watch over you and make sure you always have a clean bucket to puke in. The experience itself can be gentle or challenging, depending on where the individual is at in their life. It was rather mild for me, but I feel like I got what I needed out of it. Overall positive experience and I would like to return again for a more intense journey at some point.

My experience with Aya Quest was the catalyst to big change in my life. It has bumped me out of the matrix of my desire and ego having the steering wheel and has opened the door for my soul/spirit to take control. I had been stuck in my head dealing with alcoholism, drug addiction which trapped me in a loop of depression and selfishness since I was 13 years old. As we all know this is a continued learning process and ones life journey. Our Souls quest to enlightenment and peace. Steve and Terri provided a safe environment in which I could let the medicine do the work. They will not trauma bond you and console you and tell you that everything is going to be ok. You and ONLY you knows what you have gone through and when you leave after, they will not be there. This is exactly what I needed. They had 2 female assistants whom were compassionate and shared their stories of how they have had healing using the medicine as well. My sister came and had an experience too. Both Steve and Terri shared their insight with anything that I wanted to share with them. If you are wanting to use ayahuasca as the vehicle to gain insight into the issue you are dealing with this is a fantastic place to do it. Is ayahuasca a cure all? No! Your going to get out of it what you need at the time. For some people it will take multiple sessions to gain the insight you need. Have patience and compassion for your self and the process. I am so thankful that Steve and Terri are doing their life’s work by helping people better themselves. Aya Quest is a safe, clean compassionate setting and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to dive into themselves and gain clarity using Ayahuasca as the means.

I read in a reviews on here about not attending Aya Quest church in Kentucky if you are a woman or have ptsd and I would like to share a bit of my experience because I attend aya quest Kentucky and I am a woman and I suffered from ptsd and I have also healed from a combination of therapy, ayahuasca, and hard work…I personally have such a strong love and gratitude for Aya Quest and their team! I have been a member for over 3 years and I have so much respect for Steve and Teri and have never felt disrespected or unsafe…if anything I feel so incredibly safe because there is such a accepting and authentic energy! Aya quest and the safe and pure ayahuasca they provide has not only helped me to heal and grow but it has also helped my mom, sisters and multiple friends:) everyone has different opinions but I definitely recommend you giving it a try! 🙂

If you have PTSD or issues from an assault, DO NOT GO TO THIS CHURCH. If you are a woman and you care about how woman are treated, DO NOT GO HERE. Both Steve and Vice are power hungry men who don’t care about woman or their safety. I attend the church and when I was uncomfortable, Steve belittled me and made me wrong. It’s far to important to heal than add this ****** to your list of things to have to get over.
Admin’s Note:I understand your frustration, but let’s not devolve into name-calling, please.

I had my first and second experiences with Ayahuasca last weekend and I couldn’t wish for anything better. Steve, Teri and Nick are extraordinary good people. They work personally with every member of the group (we had 10 people) and make sure everyone gets the best experience possible. That exactly what happened with our group – everyone felt blessed and awaken after the second ceremony. My experience was very intense but this was exactly what I was looking for. Lessons Mother Aya taught me are embedded deep on my soul now and I and all my friends can see the positive change. The best thing with the plant is that it stays with you after the ceremony and keeps helping you with your every day struggle, which looks more like an endless field of opportunities than a struggle to me now.
I chose Aya Quest for my first experience and this was the best choice I made this year. I cannot thank enough the Aya Quest team for the environment they create and for the caring and attention they provide for everyone. I will definitely get back – there is so much the plant can teach you and I feel like I barely scratched the surface.
