Ayahuasca Retreat Reviews — Helping You Stay Safe with 5,000+ Independent Reviews
Lotus Vine Journeys represents a fusion of two powerful ancient traditions, the Buddhist Lotus and the Ayahuasca Vine. By combining plant spirit medicine with heart-focused practices, we believe our retreats offer a genuine way to accelerate your healing and awakening process. We offer full immersion,14 -day Ayahuasca retreats that include daily yoga, Buddhist meditation practices and 8 ceremonies led by our beautiful Shipibo Maestro.
The core of our work is deeply healing, transformative and life changing. We provide safe and nurturing retreats where our guests can comfortably experience the healing powers of Ayahuasca in its traditional Amazonian setting. We also explore the ancient wisdom of the dharma and Buddhist based psychology throughout the retreat. We provide a loving and dedicated team of staff so that each guest can receive an accelerated spiritual, emotional, mental and physical cleanse of their entire system. It is the teachings of the Buddha that provides Lotus Vine Journeys with the ethical grounding and overall framework for each retreat. Both the founders and the facilitators have years of experience with Buddhist based principles and meditation teachings.
We base our retreats on the outskirts of Tarapoto, Peruat the Puma Rinri Amazon Lodge. It’s an award winning, eco-lodge located one hour from Lima by plane. It’s an area of true ecological and geographical beauty in the mountain rainforest that flow into the Amazon. This spectacular region offers stunning views, waterfalls, breezes and colorful sunsets. Our beautiful location provides unsurpassed levels of comfort for a jungle experience. We offer luxuries more typical of a hotel environment. It’s truly the best of both worlds!

September 19, 2016 at 2:27 pmThe shamans, the group, the helpers, the location, everything worked in divine perfection to allow me one of the deepest shamanic work I have ever encounter. I am familiar with working with Aya but this time was a whole other level. I described in more detailed my experience here: http://gauthereaugroup.com/the-experience-that-changed-my-life-forever/ and part II here: http://gauthereaugroup.com/the-experience-that-changed-my-life-forever-part-2/
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place…
With Love & Gratitude

September 8, 2016 at 12:10 amI have known the founder of Lotus Vine Journeys for many years and without a doubt I would say that this is the best retreat option in Peru. They operate with total integrity and love. Each guest is cared for and given a lot of individual attention. This is not a mass market retreat center it’s more like a boutique hotel. The accommodations and food are amazing! The location of the lodge is spectacular and so comfortable. They have amazing beds, hot showers and luxury facilities. The meditation classes and yoga are so good and the emphasis on Buddhist psychology and self compassion has transformed my entire life. I recommend this place to all my friends! Definitely go here!

September 7, 2016 at 3:16 pmLotus Vine Journeys has been a life changing experience for me, for which I am truly grateful. Spring and Janeth are super compassionate and caring guides who make you feel safe and secure through the whole process. Ayahuasca is a very powerful natural medicine which allows you to look deep inside yourself and to work through traumas in your life or allows you to find your focus and love on how to live the rest of your life. The accommodation and food at the Puma Rinri Amazon Lodge is comfortable and healthy set amongst a lovely jungle/bush setting. The shamans are funny caring indigenous people whose icaros (songs) will flow into your very soul. I have no hesitation at all in highly recommending Lotus Vine Journeys to anyone interested in self exploration or anyone looking to live with a happier self in a world of happier people. Change begins with you.

September 7, 2016 at 6:49 amAyahuasca is a magnificent opportunity to look into yourself, have a good look at your life, and have the guts to go and make changes. If you’re reading this then you are already interested in what Ayahuasca has got to teach you, and its a good idea to follow that intuition! It has been an incredible and thought-provoking experience for me. My son had taken the Medicine and I was so delighted in the change I saw in him, the Medicine has softened him and opened his heart. It was so beautiful to see that in my son, that when he suggested I try it too…I did!.You may be thinking as I was, that Ayahuasca is some sort of new hippy party drug…it’s not. Medicine is the right word for it even though you do experience great beauty. It has been a magnificent experience for me, really transformative. The Buddhist meditation and teachings has been a beautiful part of the retreat, every single lesson that Spring gave was exactly what I needed to know as a way into each ceremony and a very useful navigational tool for working with the Medicine. I felt completely supported by Janeth and Spring’s warm caring professionalism, I didn’t feel like it was a solo journey I was on, even though it was an exploration of my own psyche, I felt safe at all times. Ayahuasca is hard work, it’s challenging, it’s confronting and deeply rewarding with the self-awareness gained. And the food is great, the setting beautiful and the accommodation very comfortable!

September 5, 2016 at 2:58 pmWhen I got here I felt I was in the right place. It’s so unbelievably beautiful. This is an amazing place. When I met Spring and Janeth they came with a big smile and I felt I was completely at home. I felt really safe and sure I was in the right place. During Ceremony I have experienced my heart being opened, and I felt connected to people in a way I haven’t in so long. I felt like a kid again, looking at the world with fresh eyes. And a deep connection to the Earth. It’s very hard to describe what takes place in an Ayahuasca ceremony, all the answers come from within, from the heart. Maestro Diogenes and Maestra Anita were so amazing, I could not ask for better healers, they are so humble and connected to their roots and yet they have an amazing power. When they sing the Ikaros I felt I have been blessed, they gave me an incredible gift. I am so glad I have done this work with Shipibo people, they hold an ancient linage that connects them very deeply to the Medicine.
