5 stars. Stacy and the crew really care about helping others and believe in the work they are doing. After spending 5 days there, I believe in the work they’re doing too. Down to earth, personal. This is the place you want to go.

I had my first ayahuasca experience here early last year, and I’m so glad I did. Stacy, Drew, Jess, and the ayahuasqueros Raúl and Lydia are all great people – very understanding and generous. It was bare-bones in some ways, but that’s what I wanted. I wasn’t looking for a spa experience or guided daily activities; I wanted to hang out in the Amazon and learn. You can borrow boots and hike walk the trails around the compound (the dogs will come with you), or you can just swim in the lake, take plant baths, and write/think/talk. There was also yoga if we wanted it, and breathwork. Raúl and Lydia are really special to work with. I had prepared a lot for my trip, doing lots of kundalini and meditation and avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, and going on the recommended dieta for the week or two beforehand. I had a rough last night (good for me ultimately, but rough) and they took good care of me – everyone there went over and above in a way that I found almost hard to accept, because culturally I’m not used to that. I would recommend Dreamglade in a heartbeat.

preface: I didn’t actually end up going because my travel plans changed, but I would like to talk about the quality of their online (customer?) service because it definitely deserves a mention.

I have been engaged in discussion with Stacy since mid-october and have been consistently surprised by the care, attention and selflessness he has shown.

For example, when travel restrictions were uncertain in October he went out of his way to clarify the travel situations and other plans information to the government’s policies, well above the call of duty for an aya resort.

Furthermore, all communication was immensely prompt and hospitable. All emails were personalized and gave very transparent information about costs and procedures. If you want to know exactly what you’re getting into I would highly recommend this place.

I knew that Stacy and the team had their client’s best interests in mind when they actually went so far as to recommend ANOTHER aya retreat (and give their private email) when it became apparent that I might not be able to make it on the available timings.

i regret not being able to go but thought the least I could do was commend their customer service!

I am truly so grateful for Dreamglade and its entire team. I spent 10 days at the center and participated in 4 ceremonies. This was my first Ayahuasca experience and while I had been feeling called to experience Aya for 2 years it wasn’t until an acquaintance recommended DG that I finally felt compelled to commit. It was imperative to me that I find a place that was safe and reputable.

Stace, Drew, Jess, and the curanderos Raoul and Lydia are all experts at their work. Every single one of them not only has experience and passion in what they do but they are also people of integrity. With Aya being trendy these days, there is an inundation of retreats and individuals facilitating ceremonies – many of which are questionable. Dreamglade is the real deal. The curanderos know what they are doing and the facilitators are always alert and checking in on everyone both inside and outside of the ceremonies. They ensure that everyone is supported and they are always available for questions and conversations regarding your aya experiences or even just life in general.

The space itself is such an oasis and I find myself missing it quite often. There is something to say about doing it in the Amazonian jungle. You can really feel the energy of this magical place. I felt like I was truly able to disconnect from the outside world and give myself the time and space to really be with myself and look inside. I also connected well with the other guests – people from all walks of life who you could learn something from each one of them.

I feel so incredibly lucky for having had this experience. If you are feeling called to experience Aya, especially in Peru go to Dreamglade! I have no doubt that I will be returning in the future. Thank you DG team!

I had wanted to work with Stacey, Drew and the Dreamglade team since I first heard about them back in 2017. They are a very popular centre, and often booked up many months before hand, and that’s because they do awesome work and are truly exceptional people. Stace and his team have created a world class centre, which is (unquestionably) one of the best in Peru, if not the world.

Ceremony days are great. Often they will start with a slow morning, where people are free to do what they’d like but also encouraged to journal, set their intentions and meditate. Jess holds a wonderful, unlocking yoga practice that is welcome for anyone to join, but no pressure at all to do it if you don’t want to. Later in the afternoon the team will fire up the sauna. This was great for flushing out toxins, using the flower bath and truly relaxing before a ceremony. Ceremony starts at night-time and is often completed by 12-1am.

Their ceremonies are powerful, authentic and extremely healing. The two Curanderos, Raoul an Lidia have over 80+ years of experience working with the medicine between them. It is the absolute safest and most protected I have ever felt in an ayahuasca ceremony.

Drew, who oversees and runs the centre when Stace is away, is an outstanding human being. He’s one of the funniest, kindest and most heart centered people I have ever met. I felt I could talk to him about absolutely anything that was coming up for me and he had wise, sentient advice that really helped me. He was a true gift to my process. Thank you drew!

I did the Coca ceremonies with Dhyana both before and after the retreat, with the additional ‘session on the table’. They were fantastic and really helped with the experience. The coca ceremony before hand really helped me crystallise my intentions and was very powerful. The session after the retreat (coca + massage) really helped both bring everything together, provide clarity and gave additional lessons and things to work on in the future. If you get the chance to work with Dhyana I would wholeheartedly recommend it, she’s a beautiful and very powerful soul!

As a final note, Stacey could easily charge far more for his retreats but the quality of his character is that he wants to keep it affordable for the people who need the healing. The upside of this is you have a beautiful range of people who all reflect a slightly different version of yourself back to you. It’s not a cookie cutter, lush silicon valley retreat, but an authentic centre with soul where the people there all really care about healing and doing the deep work. Also, Paul who manages the participants, admissions and integration does a fantastic job. He’s very professional, warm and prompt. The whole team is absolutely first class.
If you feel the call, can work out a time to visit, are medically suitable to drink ayahuasca I would whole heartedly recommend dreamglade. I plan to try and take my own mother and siblings back one day in the distant future!
