I spent 2 weeks at Dreamglade for a total of 6 aya ceremonies. I had heard of this place in the middle of the jungle from a friend, and after I spent 1 week at a plushy aya retreat I knew I wanted to go to Dreamglade. I wanted to go deep, do the work, and get down to nitty gritty core issues that have been holding me back. I suffered from lots of abuse, drug and alcohol addiction and low self worth and I was ready to heal. This place isn’t for the faint of heart, and it wasn’t easy, and that’s why I would recommend Dreamglade to anyone that is ready to overcome the challenges that have been preventing fulfillment of life. There is no electricity except for a generator to plug into twice a day and solar power in the main house, no WiFi and limited cell reception, compost toilets in the private tambos, and 3 shared toilets and showers. It’s uncomfortable, but you are free from the distractions that separate you from You, and you’re forced to connect with nature and your thoughts and feelings. You get breakfast and lunch on the ceremony days and dinner also on the off days, and you get big, whole plates of food and it’s amazing.
During the ceremonies the medicine was strong enough for me to go deep and become aquinted with the parts of me I’ve been avoiding.

Wade and Clarissa, the owners, and Max and Mair, the facilitators, create an environment where you are able to and required to walk your own path, while offering gentle support when needed. Lydia and Americo were the Shamans, preset and singing their icaros for the entirety of each ceremony and each person receives their own cleansing session during each ceremony, and will read your energy and pull you aside privately to help you receive the medicine if need be. Paul lovingly challenged me and is always available to help prepare for the retreat and after for integration support.
Overall being at Dreamglade was like having an abcess cut open and cleaned out. Lydia in particular is not afraid to get down in there with a figurative scrub brush and make sure that every bit of the infection is cleaned out. It’s an incredibly painful and uncomfortable experience but I’d rather have them make sure my wounds were clean than leave dirt and grime to fester because I didn’t like how it felt for a short period of time.

Integration and my healing journey has continued and will continue long after leaving Dreamglade. The entire staff, including the cleaning and cooking staff, are incredible people who all want fulfillment and growth for every visitor and I will forever appreciate every single one of them.

Wade, clarissa, max, and mair are awesome. They provide a very including and accepting safe environment that provides a safe space for healing. The post ceremony process groups held the day after ceremonies create a close bond with the group where you feel safe to share things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to and be vulnerable. The shamans are extremely experienced, and combined with the facility you get an authentic ceremony in the jungle the way ayahuasca should be done. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Will return in future.

1st Some might have Good Experience Some might have Bad. But that’s what’s it about in my opinion. Evolving. The location is amazing remote Jungle Vibes loved it. Staff super cool and knowledgeable. Wade and Clarisa are amazing people. They really care and want to help people. Is what I got from them. They are new to this. But only seeing it getting better as They go. Were all my ceremonies good? No, but sometimes you got to go through the Bad to get to the Good. Great Experience will Definitely be back. Thanks you 2. I feel you made me a better person just by meeting you.
Much Love

Dreamglade was the best decision of my entire life. I’ve always wanted to try Ayahuasca. For years I have been intrigued by the idea of healing through the use of this magical and mystical brew. However, I did not have the time, money, courage or knowledge of what place to choose. I spent months researching which retreat to choose. Once I landed upon Dreamglade’s page, something resonated with me that prompted me to decide upon this place.

The facility is deep in the jungle, away from civilization. It is an adventurous and fun bumpy ride into the jungle from Iquitos. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, as there are various trees, bugs, birds, monkeys, and all other species you can imagine surrounding this pristine palace of healing. The weather ranges from rainy to sunny, and it is beautiful no matter what weather you’ll encounter during your stay.

Raul and Lydia have 40+ years of shamanism, which is incredibly impressive. The importance of finding legitimate shamans that have this level of experience cannot be understated. Their ability to see what each person is struggling with is mind blowing. They take their job as shamans very seriously and will help any individual out with the healing they require and deserve. Their icaros are intense and while under the influence of the medicine, can feel like a roller coaster of emotional turmoil that one needs to purge out past negative experiences.

Wade and Clarissa are both beautiful souls that have kindness flowing through their interactions with guests, staff and the shamans. They treat the place with the most respect possible and have helped to create the most beneficial experience for all guests. I am impressed and proud of the work they have undertaken as owners of the retreat and cannot thank them enough.

Mair and Max are wonderful facilitators. Mair taught me some very amazing yoga poses, while Max has some very keen insights to help you understand the nature of the medicine better and your experiences with it.

All of the workers have wonderful smiles and work hard to provide food and great accommodation.

The dogs and cats are amazing to help support you as comfort and therapeutic animals that remind you of your pets from back home. I loved all my hugs, kisses and interactions with them.

The kambo is administered responsibly and was a nice cleansing experience. I enjoyed the food, sauna and beautiful pond to swim in.

The way the share circles are set up and small group size has allowed the guests to interact and create life long bonds.

I truly believe this is the retreat for you if you are reading this and I have no regrets from attending this as my first experience with ayahuasca. I will forever hold the memories, people and location in my heart and soul for the rest of my life. Thank you all! – Kenta

Had an amazing experience at Dreamglade. Wade, Clarissa, Max, Max, the shamans and the whole staff was beyond expectations. It felt like 10 years worth of therapy wrapped into one week and I felt like I learned so much about myself that can help me live a better and more fulfilling life. The other guests were also extremely kind and respectful. 10/10
