May 12, 2026 at 1:59 pmIt was my first time with Aya and my experience was extremely challenging. As in, I intended to quit as I was going through the first ceremony. It was like having an exorcism. However, due to the serene environment and structure of the retreat and with the help and enthusiasm of everyone there, I was able to push through two more ceremonies and now I feel… Unblocked. Free. Open. What was in me and had been in me since I was a kid is gone and I am forever grateful.
Furthermore, Wade and Clarissa are fantastic facilitators. The workers are very helpful and the shamans are… Words can’t even express what they are but loving, powerful, and compassionate will suffice for this review. I highly recommend Dreamglade and if you go, make sure you push through no matter what. It will be worth it in the end

March 19, 2026 at 8:38 pmWhat an incredible experience.
It was my first time with Ayahuasca, and I was immediately put at ease by Wade, his lovely wife Clarissa, and the expert shamans, Raoul and Dominga. The center is beautiful – I was there in mid March, and the weather was pretty near perfect. Very few bugs for being in the middle of the Amazon. They have sharing circles, which were my favorite part, and they allowed me to connect to the other guests and it helped so much to ease our anxieties for taking on such a big experience! I think everyone in my group left feeling lighter and with our perspectives expanded. Unbelievable experience. These people know what they are doing

March 16, 2026 at 6:54 amOn this, my second visit to Dreamglade with Wade and Clarisa, they continue to be nothing short of inspirational. While being authentic and transparent in their service, two people on their own journey in humility, they meet you exactly where you are, and see you for who you are. They hold the space for you to be, unfold and expand within your process. These incredible people, along with everything else, the shamans, the jungle, the animals, and of course the medicine, allow you to go exactly where you need to go on your journey to wholeness. I’m so grateful to have found this team and recommend wholeheartedly to anyone.

March 9, 2026 at 5:12 pmIt was a fantastic journey back to myself. I felt very safe, supported, and truly well taken care of throughout the whole experience. The people were incredibly kind and loving, and I never felt like anything was missing. Now the real work is to integrate what I have learned into daily life. I am very grateful for this experience.
