We invite you on a magical and life-transforming journey to the Upper Amazon region in Ecuador. This land is the homeland of the sacred plant Ayahuasca, from which the doctors of the jungle – the indigenous kichwa shamans – prepare the magical & visionary brew of the same name.

This brew cleanses the body and mind, purifies the soul and allows us to access the knowledge of one’s heart and the transcendental well of wisdom. It allows us to directly experience and converse with the Divine and the spirits of the Nature.

You are welcome to participate and receive healing and blessing from both Ayahuasca brew and the healer spirits it brings.

Feather Crown is absolutely magical! It was our first time sitting with Ayahuasca and I’m so happy we went here! It’s a very intimate experience, I think they only allow up to 12 people at a time. So you get one on one time with the shaman during the ceremony. I’ve now done the 5 day and 13 day experience. I definitely recommend the 13 if you can. Taking 2 weeks to really be in it and focus on healing was the best experience I could have given myself!!

The complex is super rustic, but very comfortable and built in such a sustainable way! I felt my entire nervous system relax when I arrived. And you can go swim in this incredible river that’s just a short walk from the cabins. We were there daily.

It’s high enough altitude that there really aren’t mosquitos (huge plus haha). The entire staff has a heart of gold. Everyones super welcoming and knowledgable, the food is AMAZING!

I also love that you don’t super pack in ceremonies, especially for beginners. They take safety super seriously and really honor doing the experience in a gentle way and having plenty of time for rest and being with nature to integrate what you learn. And you get to go on rainforest walks on the off days and learn about other medicinal plants in the area.

I also love that they have a really close working relationship with the Indigenous communities in the area and do a lot of environmental advocacy. Feather crown is the real deal. You’ll be taken really good care of and they have a psychologist on staff and the Shamans have like over 50+ years of experience.

Feather Crown is the perfect Retreat Center to experience plant medicine whether it is your first time or 100th. Jan and his professional staff will ensure that your stay is all that you could ask for. The location, the food, the activities and experiences are all top notch. I hope to return some day!

When you partake in an ayahuasca ceremony you are in a state of extreme vulnerability both physically and mentally. This is not only during the ceremonies but throughout the whole retreat and it’s very important to be and feel safe. The entire team is dedicated to keeping you safe on both the physical and emotional levels. During the ceremony, there are two people (Omar and Baru) who are responsible for looking after you and they do a tremendous job at doing so. Outside of the ceremony Omar and Baru are your guides for jungle walks and most importantly your friends. Fanny, Carlos, and Amada make sure you are well-fed with the best food possible and keep the center clean and amazing 24/7.

Aside from safety, I chose this center over others for authenticity and closeness to the indigenous culture/people and all my expectations here were met and exceeded. You cannot separate the indigenous from this whole experience as I see many other centers’s doing ceremonies in 5-star hotels. I was able to learn quite a lot about kichwa values and ways of life.

Great experience. Can’t imagine a better place to relax, meditate and get new perspectives. It’s located deep in Ecuadorian jungle nearby beautiful pristine river. Really an ideal atmosphere for such retreats.

Approach of organizers was professional. I always felt safe throughout the retreat and most of all throughout ceremonies. Staff was very helpful and our shaman was looking like he knows exactly what is he doing 🙂

Bonus is great food and activities such as crafting out own Ayahuasca neckless or jungle trips.

It was my first experience with plant medicine and I’m happy I chose this place.

The healing that I received during my stay at feather crown was beyond words. If you are already feeling the call to drink ayahuasca, this place provides a safe, caring space for you to go deep inside of yourself and heal your deepest wounds. I recommend it.
