Description of the Retreat

At APL Shamanic Journeys, we’ve carved a niche as a leading Ayahuasca center, renowned for our retreats across Spain, Ecuador, and Peru. We seamlessly merge ancient Amazonian traditions with modern approaches.

Our ceremonies are presided over by genuine Peruvian shamans who draw from age-old rituals. Meanwhile, post-ceremony, our trauma-informed specialists step in, ensuring every participant enjoys profound spiritual insights and thorough transformation. Our retreats also weave in guided meditations, yoga, and nutritious meals, underlining our commitment to a holistic experience.

For anyone seeking a deep dive into traditional ceremonies complemented by contemporary therapeutic integration, APL Shamanic Journeys stands out as the go-to destination.

Teacher/Teachings

Guided by Amazonian Shamans

All our retreats are guided by Amazonian curanderos with minimum of 20 years of experience, who live and study Sacred Plants in Peru.
You can be sure your experience in Europe will be orchestrated the same way it would be in the Amazon.

Supported by Professionals

We work with Integration specialists and coaches to complement the traditional approach to ceremonies with a modern understanding of the integration process.
The right way of implementation of the new knowledge is a key to your life-changing experience.

Testimonials

Testimonials:

“This is my second time with APL and 15 seat with the medicine, to my surprise they just got better! This is by far the most professional place to do Aya in Europe. They work with traditional shipibo curanderos and highly experienced facilitators. They care and do they work with love. Can’t recommend them enough ❤️” Jimena

“As I am slowly gathering the impressions after an amazing retreat, one thing becomes very clear. While the ayahuasca journeys are always going to be deeply personal and unique for each participant, what is common for all, are the logistics and people accompanying a group. Afeter spending a week with APL, I would want EXACTLY the same group of facilitators, integrations specialists, other personnel the next time I decide to go on this journey. I always felt super safe, taken care of and it was clear to us that people running the APL genuinely care. Whether it is about delivering another blanket at midnight, finding the right brew quantity or simply passing on valuable knowledge of the medicine, these guys are fully committed. From morning until the next morning when ceremonies end. Boris, Sasha, Celeste, Ubi (my man!!), Mick, Danielle, Jose, Samaya ... THANK YOU! And, of course, maestro Sunny, thank you for taking me down to hell and back to heaven and teaching me important life lessons in the process. Guys, see you again soon and I hope these lines convience some other people to give you an opportunity to introduce the amazing world of plant medicine to them as well.” Toni

“Most professional Ayahuasca experience I ever had.” Evaldas

”I had the call to sit with Ayahuasca 2 years ago and spent a huge amount of time researching and doing my own due diligence on different retreats and APL kept on coming up. Having just returned from a week long retreat, I have to say that these guys are exceptional examples of how to host plant medicine in a responsible, ethical and professional way. Our shaman was incredibly powerful, the facilitators were fantastic, even the food was great. Fell in love with my group and the entire team and can’t recommend APL highly enough. I’ll be back!” Liam

”Would award 10 if I could. I had a beautiful, life-changing journey. I had a close connection with the medicine but beyond that, the way that the team held and facilitated the space was amazing. The level of trust and love I felt from the team and the Maestro Tony was outstanding. Would have been impossible to have the same experience without that. The house and grounds are beautiful, and add to the calm. And finally it was a beautiful experience to bond with the other retreat participants, sharing and offering love and support as our journey grew and evolved. One word of personal advice however. This is just my personal opinion so take it as you like, but it was invaluable to me. I believe it's really important to take the buildup and the pre-retreat diet seriously, just as seriously as the retreat itself. This will help you feel connected and ensure you are best ready to receive the healing you need. Before you book, take a good look at the list of dietary and lifestyle requirements expected in the buildup and during retreat. None of us are perfect but if you know that you will commit to doing your best and are confident that you will follow the requirements closely, then please go ahead - this will be the right place for you. If you are not sure and think you will miss certain items and struggle to remove them from your diet/life - then perhaps save your money for now, and come back another time when you feel your commitment to the whole process will be stronger. Good luck and lots of love!” Martin

”It's understandable coming from the conditioning of many of our societies why this journey may seem extreme. However, if you are ready to face and find yourself, the retreat experience at APL was a very positive unexpected surprise. It will challenge you, it is not a bed of roses but you are not alone, you have the love and attention given by the Shaman, facilitators and whole team and your group. You will receive from the experience what you give it. If you are ready to be open, vulnerable and emptied so you can be healed, then APL Journeys is one of best places.” Nuralisa

”A week after the retreat, I'm still coming to terms with the incredible personal transformation that I experienced with the help of APL. Boris, Sasha, and the rest of the APL team have curated a beautiful and powerful experience that brings the healing power of ayashuasca to the world. It's clear that the team has been doing this for many years, and the entire program is perfectly designed to allow attendees to gradually build confidence and respect for this powerful medicine. I have immense gratitude for the experience, and am excited for the continued journey.” Michael

”
If you're feeling it, do it! This has been one of the best weeks of my life, I have got more insights into my soul than in years of many other ways. The APL team is simply the best, and better than any expectations. The testimonials are true and they give their whole heart to holding us all in safe and nourishing space. The place is gorgeous, the food was made with such love. Maestro Tony years of experience and healing Icaro's brought such a powerful energy that made connecting with Mother Ayah a powerful experience. Also I will never forget the love, support and wisdom from Celeste, our Integration Coach and Shaman. The integration circles really make a difference in bringing experiences INTO this reality and now I am making use of these insights and wisdom in real life! Here's the all and may you receive love returned in many blessings.” Clare

”My retreat with APL in August 2023 impacted me in ways I can't begin to describe. I felt safe from beginning to end, the organization was top notch and the surroundings were beautiful and peaceful, which allowed me to dive deep and have major breakthroughs. It's a tough experience emotionally, but what's on the other side of the discomfort is completely worth it. Immense gratitude to Boris, Sacha, Celeste and the whole team for being such amazing spaceholders, so professional and human at the same time. I'll never forget my time with you. With infinite gratitude 🙏🏼” Raphael
