Where to start? I visited in May/June 2017 for 12 days (6 ceremonies)

Dreamglade is the place I would recommend anyone wanting to do Ayahuasca to go for the work. The experience was good from my very first contact with Jann who does the bookings. All information was clear and easy to understand. Jann answered all my questions and concerns honestly and within a good time frame.

Stace and his team have created the most incredible environment. The facilities are beautiful – the buildings are well designed and the landscape breath taking. I couldn’t fault it and want to go back as soon as possible. The whole retreat centre is peaceful and secure in a way that enables sincere connection to yourself, the plants, the lake and the animals. I never felt unsafe even at night in the dark.

I stayed partly in a tambo and partly in the Maloka. I enjoyed both and having some privacy was nice. If you find it hard to sleep with other people, the tambo is a good option. There are some mosquitos but surprisingly few. Packing long sleeves was still a good idea.

Drew and Stace work tirelessly to create a safe, holding space that enables very deep healing work to take place. I was supported through very painful emotional healing with an openness and kindness that I have never experienced before. Drew is truly a Bodhisatva. it is not an exaggeration to say this was the best thing I could have ever done for myself.

Safety is their top priority and everything is geared toward this so you know you are in good hands. As someone who had not done Ayahuasca before this was very important to me and I was encouraged to know that Stace and Drew are working to improve safety across the whole industry and therefore have very high standards.

The Curanderas Raul and Lidia are incredible. They went above and beyond the call of duty (outside ceremony, at any time) to help people with a variety of issues from eczema to flu and provided plant medicines and healing treatments that worked wonderfully. Those who were blocked were given steambaths and other extra care to help them to open to the medicine as well.

The food is currently cooked by Matej – who is also the yoga teacher. The meals were varied and lovingly prepared for each member’s needs. Those on dieta were given a fantastic array of things within their restrictions and special meals were made for those of us with additional needs. Matej is funny and very knowledgeable about healing so was helpful to chat to as well.

We had yoga and were also able to watch movies on non-ceremony days which was a lovely addition. I was also very happy not to have a structure and just be allowed to rest and be present.

I cannot say a bad word about Dreamglade and strongly recommend it.
