August 6, 2018 at 5:12 pmMagic! It’s pure magic! It’s the most beautiful journey you will ever experience in your whole life, trust me on that. If you are reading this, like I once was, thinking of traveling to Peru for your first time (or even if you’ve done this before) then this is the place to be. You’re in safe hands. Stacey and Drew are masters with their ability to handle one another, and help navigate you thru your experience. While the Aya brew was powerful, it wouldn’t be complete without Lidia y Raul. I truly walked away thinking these two are the most powerful humans in the world. What they are able to do is something I can’t put into words.
This place is a beautiful retreat center maybe 45 min to an hour out of town. With an epic ride on the way there. The weather was nice (April, 80F maybe). It had sunny days and days where it rained, which in my opinion was the best way to go. Hearing the rain after ceremonies was soothing while you reflect on life and your experience. Mosquitoes will be out at that time, but if you’re like me than your blood is no good to them. Some people were tore up unlike myself with zero bites. Hmmm.
There’s a nice sauna for Wednesday and Friday, while Jess hosts a yoga class on those days too. Food is on another level to me. If you come in with a bad diet, then you might be in for a shock. It’s fruit and veggies w/ delicious ramen and hard boiled eggs. Oh and no salt. I felt charged up, and looked forward to every meal that was given to me. The common area has books for reading, comfy chairs, and mapacho whenever you need it.
I cant persuade you enough on traveling to Dream Glade. It’s something that every human being should do. It puts a new meaning on life. I’m planning on visiting 2 weeks next time, hopefully next summer. The calling is strong and I often think of it. Life is a trip and I highly recommend Dream Glade to show you a new route 🙂

May 26, 2018 at 4:45 amI attended Dreamglade for five ceremonies in April. I can’t speak highly enough of the whole team there. I was made to feel extremely comfortable and safe throughout the whole experience. Having been back in Australia now for a month, I can clearly see the benefits of my time away.

May 11, 2018 at 6:38 pmI am submitting this review to let folks know that DreamGlade is just perfect, and to note that not everyone gets an effect from ayahuasca,
The people at DreamGlade are compassionate, practical, know what they are doing, and sincerely care about the people. They made the experience just perfect. They were always supportive, and provided the unique guidance each person needed. When people struggled, they were with them immediately and were there for as long as needed, and longer. The location and buildings are very nice, well kept, and fitting for the jungle environment. The small lake is very nice, and was great to be able to swim and cool off and relax.
I was there for a week, and had 3 ayahuasca ceremonies. The ayahuasca essentially had no effect on me. It definitely had a variety of effects on the other 8 participants. Many were asking for smaller doses at the second and third ceremonies. Since I was not experiencing anything, I had larger doses, and a second larger dose at each ceremony. The shamans tried a number of things with me, including additional dieta plants (aja sacha for cleaning plus plant de avita to open me up), personal plant steam baths, personal diagnosis with the lead shaman Raul. I felt slightly tipsy for a short while after my second dose in the second ceremony, otherwise the ayahuasca had no effect on me directly. I stayed perfectly ok with this during the ceremonies, and enjoyed the shaman’s icaros (which were great, powerful). Stacy and Drew checked on each person quite regularly, so you knew what was going on with everyone. I was always “ok, feeling normal”.
Even though I did not have a direct experience, I know that others did, and I would highly recommend Dreamglade.

April 7, 2018 at 12:23 pmReally amazing place and people. Having been to different centers before, I think my search is finally over because this place has it all. The wonderful energy of Dreamglade is so palpable the minute you arrive there. Stacy and Drew are so gifted and truly care for everyone, they are answering their lives calling by helping so many souls find theirs. The Ayahuasca is the strongest I have had and it took each and everyone of us to where they needed to go in order to heal and evolve. I couldn’t find the right words to praise Raul and Lydia for their magnificient talent and how they worked on us so patiently. I will be back, Dreamglade is home
