Life inpiring
I am grateful for having such an experience. It is a safe environment where you can process hard emotions. The dear hosts Ceylo, Martijn and Fred help you in your journey physically and emotionally. The feelings you suppress in your regular life are welcome here, I have never felt sooo many colors of life before - joy, happiness, sadness, pain, fear, grief, regret, shame. etc. During the journey, the music guides you to the corners of your mind you usually do not go, embrace it. For me personally, the most important part was that I could go into childhood memories and be in those moments and receive hugs and love from the hosts, it feels healing, as something that was missing all these years is finally fixed. I feel more content, more whole, more open, more self-compassionate, and more emotions are visible. Though the mind is a powerful thing, and it depends on you how you integrate the insights later, as you still need to put a lot of effort into your healing. Wish you a fulfilling experience, fellow travelers.

Incredible experience - highly recommended
I've been wanting to do an Ayahuasca retreat for a while and was very intentional with choosing Ayaspirits. The venue itself is stunning and absolutely perfect, safe and surrounded by nature which is everything one can ask for when immersing in such a deep experience.

The ceremonies were beautifully conducted, Fred, Ceylo and Martijn know exactly what do to, how to guide and support each person, holding space to work through the journeys and providing comfort and support when needed. As we were a small group of 5, it was a very unique and intimate setting with people being open and lovingly supportive with each other.

The food was delicious, the ceremony room had everything one can dream of and I had very insightful and meaningful journeys. It helped that I thoroughly prepare based on Ayaspirits recommendations as the vessel was clean and the medicine worked as intended.

Thank you Ayaspirits for having me, this won't be my last journey with you :)

For everyone looking for an Ayahuasca retreat: this it the place and more importantly the experienced and skilled people you want to do it with <3

A Highly Professional and Therapeutic Ayahuasca Retreat
I attended a retreat of remarkable quality, where the integrity and professionalism of the facilitators stood out immediately. The team — especially a facilitator who is both a medical doctor and a therapist trained in EMDR, IFS and Nervous System work — offers a deeply respectful and grounded setting, far removed from any commercial or sensational approach.
The guidance before, during and after the ceremonies is structured and genuinely supportive. The integration tools, particularly the animal and archetype cards, provided a meaningful and accurate framework that helped orient my inner work, and felt far more appropriate than some overly interpretive approaches I have encountered elsewhere.
The ceremony takes place during the day and unfolds over several hours in silence, which creates a distinct kind of introspective space. In my case, the experience was less intense emotionally and visually, likely due to the nature of the brew used.
This does not diminish the excellence of the container. I would recommend this retreat to anyone seeking a therapeutic, respectful environment that truly centres integration and inner work.

A truly magical and healing weekend
Gosh it is difficult to summarise this experience. It is like having 10 years of therapy in one weekend. I have complex ptsd and the care the guides took was incredible. The dream team of Ceylo, Fred and Martijn.

This was such a heart centred supportive space where I felt safe to share my traumas and process them. It took me to a deeper level of healing and forgiveness.

Thank you for making this affordable and I will be coming back with lots of my fellow souls who are troubled. What a blessing I can’t think you all enough.
