Dreamglade is one of the most beautiful and transformative places I’ve ever been, and returning for a second time only deepened my appreciation for what Wade, Clarisa, and their team have created. The retreat sits right in the heart of the jungle, surrounded on every side by untouched nature. Each morning we watched blue morpho butterflies drift through the trees, listened to countless birds calling, and saw animals that live on the property as naturally as we did. Simply being held by that environment is healing in itself.

The space is intentionally designed for solitude, reflection, and the inward journey—while still offering plenty of opportunities to connect with other guests if you’re looking for community. The schedule that Wade and Clarisa have crafted strikes the perfect balance between structure and spaciousness. There is time to rest, time to integrate, and time to prepare. Their suggestion to bring books, journals, and anything that helps you reflect during downtime is spot-on; those quiet hours became some of the most meaningful parts of the retreat for us.

The amenities and offerings at Dreamglade far exceed what we expected. The meals are as delicious as an ayahuasca diet can be, always plentiful and nourishing. The tambos are impeccably clean, and the staff works tirelessly to care for the walkways, the bathrooms, and every shared space—everything is always spotless. Yoga and breathwork are included for everyone and taught with such clarity and care that they become the perfect complement to ceremony work. The sauna is a wonderful way to prepare the body before ceremonies, and the floral baths the morning after are grounding, gentle, and deeply restorative.

Wade and Clarisa are two of the warmest, most genuine people we’ve met. They make it clear from the moment you arrive that you are seen, supported, and held every step of the way. The morning share circles are one of the highlights for us—Wade and Clarisa guide them with so much insight, compassion, and presence. It’s where so much of the healing starts to integrate. The rest of the staff is equally kind and attentive; no matter who we speak with, we feel welcomed and cared for. In-ceremony, the facilitators are extraordinary. With smaller groups and a high facilitator-to-guest ratio, we never once felt unseen or uncertain. Their presence feels almost angelic—a support that is hard to put into words but impossible to forget.

The shamans—Raul and Dominga—are incredibly powerful healers. Their work has brought profound, lasting changes into both of our lives. Each ceremony has been one of the most meaningful spiritual experiences we’ve ever had, and the healing continues long after we return home. Dreamglade provides a loving, grounded container for deep transformation, and we are forever grateful for what we have received there.

Months after we’d left, we went through an intense period of personal challenge as we continued working through the healing that ayahuasca had opened for us. During that time, Paul became an invaluable source of support. He offered grounded insights, compassionate guidance, and practical tools that helped us navigate some very difficult internal terrain and come out the other side with greater clarity and strength. His presence and wisdom extended the healing we began at Dreamglade in a way that we are deeply grateful for.

For anyone seeking genuine healing, spiritual growth, and a place where the jungle, the medicine, and the people all work together in harmony—Dreamglade is a rare and beautiful gift. We cannot recommend it enough.
