September 27, 2026 at 3:38 pmMy experience at Dreamglade Healing Center, Iquitos – Peru is something I struggle to put into words. It was beautiful, immersive, deeply personal, and truly life-changing.
From the moment you arrive, you feel that you are entering something much bigger than a retreat. You become part of a family — a family where you do not know every member, but you know it grows and expands with every month, every ceremony, and every person who walks through the doors. What touched me most was the love and support that surrounded the entire experience. It wasn’t just during the retreat. I felt supported before arriving, throughout my time there, and after leaving.
There was something incredibly powerful about being surrounded by nature, away from the noise and distractions of everyday life, and given the space to reconnect — with myself, with others, and with nature. It felt like remembering something I had somehow always known but had forgotten.
The experience opened a space for connection that is hard to put into words. There was so much love, presence, vulnerability, and acceptance. Every experience was a lesson. The more I surrendered, stayed present, and allowed myself to fully trust the process, the deeper the connection became.
Dreamglade is more than a place you visit. For me, it became a feeling — a feeling of belonging, connection, love, and being completely present in the moment.
There are experiences in life that you can explain, and then there are experiences that you simply have to feel. This is one of those experiences. A part of me is still there — connected to the people, the land, the lessons, and the infinite love I experienced. Now, I understand why my friend returns every year for over a decade.
I am deeply grateful to Dreamglade Healing Center and to everyone who became part of this journey with me. Some experiences change you. This was one of them.

September 22, 2026 at 11:07 amI am very thankful for the whole team of Dreamglade!
I am very grateful to have had this experience I feel like I had a Cleanning of mind and spirit and that I freed from barriers I have put on myself for many years and they are not there anymore. I am more aware. I feel now I want to keep all this alive with everyday actions. Keep peace.
I have understood and accepted that there is a magical powerful power in nature that connect with us that is beyond of our understanding is something that we simply feel.
I am very thankful to Raul and Dominga (the shamans) for their powerful connection to nature and how they help us connect to it. I respect them and admire their power, kindness and humbleness.
Wade and Clarisa (owners and facilitators) for everything they do their kindness and for all the help they gave me through my ceremonies specially my first one they felt like angels.
The ladies that cook our food and keep everything so clean and the watchman that is on top of everything they form part of the atmosphere.
Thank you to Paul for always checking to make sure we are properly prepared for this experience, for his kindness and help through the whole process from the begging.
I recommend Dreamglade to anyone that feels the motivation to experience Ayahuasca. There is magic in this place.

September 18, 2026 at 2:46 pmMijn persoonlijke ervaring met Dreamglade was helaas negatief en zeer teleurstellend en daarom raad ik deze retraite persoonlijk niet aan.
Ik ben vanuit België speciaal naar Peru, Iquitos, gereisd met als belangrijkste doel om deze retraite bij Dreamglade te volgen. Voor mij was dit dus een grote reis en een belangrijke investering, zowel financieel als persoonlijk.
Wat mij vooral is bijgebleven, is dat ik het gevoel kreeg dat financiële belangen zwaarder wogen dan de ervaring en begeleiding van de gast. Dat is mijn persoonlijke indruk op basis van wat ik heb meegemaakt, en juist daarom vind ik het belangrijk om dit te delen.
Nadat ik mijn mening hierover had uitgesproken, werd dit opeens als agressie gezien en hebben ze uiteindelijk besloten om mijn retraite te annuleren.
Ik heb ervoor gekozen om deze ervaring op een positieve manier te bekijken. Ik geloof dat het zo heeft moeten lopen.
Mijn betaling is gelukkig volledig afgehandeld en voor mij was de zaak daarmee afgesloten. Nadat ik vervolgens een review van één ster had achtergelaten, werd er opnieuw contact met mij opgenomen en nog steeds. Vanaf dat moment begonnen ze het te verdraaien, waarbij de verantwoordelijkheid voor de annulering bij mij werd gelegd.
Ik vind deze manier van communiceren erg onprofessioneel en vind het bijzonder jammer dat mijn ervaring achteraf op deze manier wordt weergegeven. Ik heb mijn mening uitgesproken over zaken waar ik het niet mee eens was. Vervolgens is mijn retraite beëindigd. Dat is mijn ervaring en daar blijf ik bij.
Mijn bedoeling is niet om een discussie te voeren, maar om mijn kant van het verhaal duidelijk en eerlijk vast te leggen.
Iedereen moet uiteraard zijn eigen beslissing nemen, maar op basis van mijn persoonlijke ervaring zou ik Dreamglade niet aanraden.

June 12, 2026 at 3:50 pmIt’s been 2 years since my experience at Dreamglade. I consider myself to have a short attention span. But I STILL find myself thinking about this place and all the magic that came with it. And I still fully recommend this place to anyone looking to work with Ayahuasca.
