"I can t thank Femke and Marjin enough for what they gave me on this retreat truly truly life changing. I ve been doing Ayahuasca on and off for 10 years and had some amazing breakthroughs and journeys. I was on the way to Columbia to do a retreat in the rainforest and I had a calling to do San Pedro before. After finding Taita on Retreat Guru I just knew I had to go.
After a fabulous chat with Marijn who answered all my questions and his beautiful energy I was left in no doubt.
Femke and Marjin have created such a beautiful place for healing in the cou tryside a paradise that felt like coming home. The kundalini yoga with Femke before the ceremony was amazing opening up the body to recieve the medicine and my day with San Pedro was utterly profound. Truly the best thing i have ever done helping me to access deep trauma that I hadn t realised I still carried. I felt completely safe and protected to release everything inside of me that I hadn t been able to ever do before. I can t thank Femke and Marjin enough for the love they showed me and the support they gave me when I needed it most!!!! Wandering in nature and recieving this powerful medicine I ve never felt so free. That day I found my power and my life has been forever changed.
The accommodation is top notch and the food was divine Marijn is a food god!!!
I feel truly blessed to have had this experience and so happy to have met two other beautiful souls who journeyed with me Gabby and Miko. Thankyou also for the support and love.
I really can t recommend this retreat enough. Truly for me the best one I ve ever been on and I m looking forward to many more with Taita. THANKYOU!!!! 🙏🙏🙏"

Experiences on Retreat
"I chose to go to the retreat because I was feeling very stuck in life; I had been in a job for two and a half years which I was desperate to leave but felt I couldn't, and I was studying a module at university which I didn't like. I'd done a great deal of spiritual work over the course of 12 years and felt like things had stopped moving forward. My boyfriend and I knew about Colin and Ariana through another spiritual teacher so we decided to give it a go.
My two ceremonies were very different. The first night was relatively easy and I laughed for hours. This was very healing by itself, but I also healed many other things including deep grief that I hadn't been aware of. The second night was contrasted and I had an emotionally difficult journey- but the Conscious Hub team were brilliant. I was supported through my experience with such love and care that it blew me away, I will never forget it!
My experiences were so deep and profound that I'll never be able to put them into words. If you are ready for this journey you will know. I personally would not go anywhere else on Earth to take Ayahuasca; Colin, Ariana, Sergio, Cellene, Dean and the whole team are the most capable, loving and wonderful team the Divine could assemble. I am beyond grateful for their help, love and care, and I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat.
It has been a few months now and I have made the necessary life changes I wanted. One of the biggest changes I've noticed is my mood. The black fog of depression I have had on and off all my life seems to have dissipated. I am looking forward to returning to plumb the depths of my soul once again, when the time is right. Thank you!"
"Deerstone is a really lovely place to visit and take some time out. The staff were helpful and friendly. The shepards hut was very well equipped with cooking facilities, very comfortable bed and bedding, towels, dressing gowns and outdoor footwear.
The Japanese bath was a nice private experience. The communal areas (saunas hydro pool and honesty bar) were very accessible and well kept.
Lots of activities to do in the near by area to keep busy during the day.
Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable experience, would highly recommend. "
"This was a very special experience. Kasham and Douglas were a wonderful team, everything about the setting from the location, workshops, food and journeys were beyond what I had imagined. If you're considering attending this type of retreat then don't hesitate to book."
"Kasham and Douglas made us feel safe and secure. We attended an 'individual' ceremony and we were well cared for and looked after throughout. I would definitely recommend scheduling a session with Kasham if you are interested in embarking on your own personal journey."
"A few years ago, I developed a deep fascination with healing, which led me to explore several ayahuasca retreats across Europe and South America. The entire journey—from the dieta preparation to the travel, meeting new people, and ultimately confronting your own pain—is such an intimate and profound experience.
Having encountered a few mediocre retreats in the past, I often feel a bit apprehensive upon arriving at a new one. However, the moment I arrived at Avalon, I felt completely at ease. The organisation was impeccable, and the shamans, musicians, and medicine were absolutely extraordinary. Despite the schedule being quite intensive, I somehow felt deeply rested throughout my time there.
What truly sets Avalon apart is their outstanding support system. From one-on-one sessions to integration circles and aftercare, every element of the experience is thoughtfully designed to guide and nurture your healing journey.
Attending Avalon has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made for my health. Not only did it help me address significant trauma, but it also allowed me to connect with like-minded individuals who have since become lifelong friends.
I cannot recommend Avalon enough. Thank you for such a transformative experience!
"
"I understood that this experience would be beneficial to some degree, however my involvement in this retreat was life changing. I've been pretending for years that lying about myself to others was protecting them, when it was only hurting me. Loving yourself is being openly honest and true with others - not hiding in order to "protect" inconvenient truths. This session has helped me focus on loving myself. This cleansing experience has rejuvenated me and I'm looking forward to my next visit with this beautiful family and magical ambiance. "
"I'm eternally grateful for Danilo, Ilse, and Bruno for providing a truly transformative and loving experience. I traveled there for my second time with two of my business partners. I came into the retreat feeling disconnected from my spirituality and my journey. Danilo, Bruno and Ilse guided me through helping me see and purge my own internal struggles and darkness, and connect with and ground my body and spirit, and I feel at peace and one with everything. They have created a beautiful and magical place for healing the mind, body and soul. I'm feeling so much love and appreciation and look forward to sharing my experience and returning in the future."
"To All,
I recently participated in a week-long retreat in Spain with a team of experienced facilitators from Weareavalon.love. This was the most rewarding self-exploration experience of my life. I have attended other retreats, conferences, and self-discovery weekends, but none of them came close to the profound impact of this journey. I found the Ayahuasca journey to be more beneficial than two years of weekly psychotherapy.
The most important component of the retreat was the staff. There are many retreats worldwide, but the collective group attending, and the staff that managed the introduction, the ceremony, and the post-ceremony integration, allowed me to achieve maximum takeaway to use in real life. The 5-star meal preparation was specifically designed to maximize our energy and not contaminate the process with empty calories. I would like to thank everyone who made the event possible.
The team was totally dedicated to the retreat and prioritized the attendees over all other concerns. The facility was perfectly situated in nature, free of outside distractions, and in a stunning location.
Thanks To All, RM"
"Beautiful day despite the weather! Lots of cosy blankets and fires! The yoga was excellent- very accessible and yet challenging. Food was excellent and plentiful. I especially enjoyed Amy’s botanic walk- I love that so much is available at our doorstep! Felt a cold coming on and tried the vitamin c packed pine needle tea!
Many thanks for a powerful joyful day "
"I attended a day retreat at The Deerstone and everything was just wonderful. The location, the teaching, and the food. I will definitely be back."
"The Ayahuasca experience had been calling to me for quite a considerable time, but it was only after dealing with the fallout of a a breakup from a particularly toxic relationship right before Christmas, that I made the spontaneous decision to attend Avalon 29.
I arrived at Avalon broken, damaged, full of despair, insecurity and self loathing.
Within five days of ceremony, interaction, gentle instruction, massage, one on one discussion, meditation and truly delicious nourishment via the meticulously prepared gourmet diet provided by the retreat, I left Avalon full of joy, , centred, with an almost overwhelming feeling of love -self love especially- clarity of mind, clarity of purpose. I was finally at peace, having made profound social connections as deep if not deeper than any I’d previously made in my entire life prior to going there.
The transition in me had begun as quickly as the second day following my first Ayahuasca ceremony, which was held on the evening of my arrival and the immediate change was so obvious and pronounced my fellow participants couldn’t help but comment on it. In fact by the end of the retreat it was expressed to me by some that they regarded my transition in such a short space of time as little short of miraculous and inspirational.
This is VERY powerful medicine, not just within the Ayahuasca itself, but also within the music, designed to elevate us into states of consciousness necessary to begin the healing process and purge what hinders us, cripples us or simply no longer serves us; whilst at the same time drawing in profound experiences and insights that help us heal, grow and be the best version of ourselves that we can possibly be.
Make no mistake however, retreats like Avalon are only the beginning of the healing journey. Avalon is a doorway that can lead to a richer, more rewarding and satisfying sense of being. If one is prepared to open up, trust in the healing process, surrender to the experience, and embrace the strange with an open heart and without fear, the rewards to oneself can be immeasureable . At Avalon I found being open wasn’t difficult to do, surrounded such as I was by a powerful circles of mutually supportive, fellow participants, and a group of compassionate, responsible, experienced guides that gently led us through the process. During the entire experience I was never in any doubt that I’d placed myself in very good hands.
By the time the retreat was over I felt humbled and deeply grateful for the experience, which I count as one of the greatest experiences that I’ve had in all my 64 years of life. This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest gift I’ve given myself.
Now as I step back into my life, the challenge is to bring all those insights, lessons and all of the self reflection to bare as i continue my healing away from the tranquil sanctuary that I’ve known for the last five days. My heart yearns for the seclusion and peace that I found there, the perpetual ceremonial fire that blazed throughout, beneath one of the most breathtakingly beautiful night skies I’ve ever seen. As I write this I have every intention of returning to Avalon so that I might find the door that leads to the next stage of my spiritual and emotional healing.
If Ayahuasca is calling to you too, do yourself the biggest you will ever do yourself and choose Avalon. you’ll spend the rest of your days grateful that you did, trust me. "
"Spent a lovely sunny New Years day here on a Set your intentions ' day..Lovely venue ,Warm welcome with lots of options on what to do- from Forrest yoga to candle making.
. Enjoyed it immensely - would recommend. "
"The kindness and authenticity of Oliver and Carla fostered a relaxed and easy going atmosphere. I felt I was in a safe environment which was paramount not only for me deciding to attend a retreat, but also to be able to fully immerse myself in the journey. From my initial inquiry online, through to days after the retreat, I received thoughtful support.
The location in nature, the fresh food and the sound elements were integral beyond my expectations. Everything flowed.
Attending a group retreat had a synchronistic healing vibe, for which I have deep gratitude.
The blog articles on after the rains website were very insightful and confirmed my decision of heading to beautiful Alpens. I highly recommend “after the Rains” with Carla and Oliver.
"
"Can you imagine having to create the universe just to come and die in El Gastor?
Several variations of this "mantra" ran through my head during the first part of my experience. While I was still resisting the idea of dying, this thought brought a smile to my face and helped me relax.
The universe and all its contents were already doing and undoing themselves, and I was getting thoroughly lost. The only guiding thread was the music—vibration at its core, but vibration arranged in a way to be pleasurable for a perceiving consciousness.
Every now and then, my dry lips would sting against each other, briefly reminding me of my body and everything else. The mantra would repeat, bringing a relaxed smile, along with questions about why this doing and undoing of the universe was necessary. Why bother?
Thanks to the music, it was easy to understand this as a process similar to that of a musician transforming vibration into something beautiful. It was a satisfactory explanation for that momentary lapse of reason, and then I was gone again.
But why dying anyway?
The idea of dying is terrifying, especially in our individualistic society where we invest so much energy in developing our sense of self. For me, this manifested some years ago as crippling hypochondria. Mind you, at the time of my experience with Elena, this was no longer the case. Significant personal work had already occurred, but the topic of death remained deeply important to me.
That's why it was so significant when Elena suggested I go on a hike the day before the experience. I ended up on the summit of a small mountain, with vultures circling overhead. They were searching for something to eat, and I was unaware that some part of me was ready to feed them.
Before the experience, it wasn't just this suggested hike that held meaning, but how intently Elena listened to me (no easy task, as I can babble endlessly). I know she truly listened because she provided so many reading recommendations that proved invaluable both in the integration work and my broader personal journey. Elena is one of the most well-read individuals you'll meet, and she delights in sharing her knowledge.
I'm deeply grateful for this experience, through which I achieved what I was seeking. My intentions were simple: silence in my head and a connection to others that transcends words. When we sat together at noon, before drinking the potion, I knew this would be different from my many other psychedelic experiences—there wasn't the faintest trace of anxiety within me because I trusted Elena completely. This degree of trust helped me easily surrender what little remained of myself in the first part of the experience.
A quick trip to the bathroom did the trick—a functional journey to avoid wetting the bed. Afterward, it felt like a small eternity to replace my headphones and blindfold, as closing my eyes was enough to make me disappear. Eventually, I managed to put them back on and peacefully parted ways with my ego. The last bit of consciousness working to control my bladder could finally relax, and with it went my final anchor to bodily sensation.
I won't delve too deeply into reporting what I experienced then, as I feel it would be futile. If you've been there, you know that words are inadequate tools to describe it.
Coming out of it was easy and organic. Eventually, I asked if we could go for a walk, and we were fortunate enough to see an almost full moon shining over the Sierra. But in that moment, I could have found beauty in literally everything.
I cannot express enough gratitude for Elena and everything she shared with me. Her approach to this work is exemplary—she was remarkably clear about boundaries and provided detailed guidance on managing the experience. Her explicit communication style created a container of trust that allowed this transformative experience to unfold naturally.
The integration work continues to reveal new layers of insight, and I find myself experiencing a remarkable surge of vitality. There's an unmistakable shift in my energy that's so apparent, it's even caught my wife by surprise. She often looks at me with amazement, joking that if these are the results, she'll happily send me back for monthly sessions. Her observation makes me smile, as it confirms what I feel internally—a profound renewal that extends beyond the immediate experience into my daily life."
"I cannot compliment Danilo, Ilse and Bruno at Gaia For You for the most transformative experience of my life.
Ilse booked me a taxi in advance as agreed. On arrive I was greeted by the taxi driver who pick me up from the airport, which went pretty much as planned. We travelled in a comfy vehicle to a Mijas on the outskirts of Malaga (about 1/2h travel time). It's secluded and has a great view of the countryside to facilitate one's spiritual forays.
There is a large farm and grounds to wonder around. A lot of the food came from the farm itself such as avocados, oranges, papaya and more.
For the actual activities, please refer to their website. My understanding of shamanic spirituality is basic at best. I attend the 5 day Christmas retreat.
Our group consisted on four. On the first day we undertook a cleansing purge which meant a number of visits to the toilet.
Danilo, Ilse and Bruno managed the Ayahuasca ceremonies, there were four of us on this retreat. I felt safe and reassured that I was being cared for. The San Pedro experience was amazing and enhanced the Ayahuasca Ceremony in the evening. As a group we opted to understand the Bufa ceremony with was an amazing out of body experience.
I have recommended this retreat to a few friends who will book. It felt nice being in a family environment. The food was amazing – all credit to Illse.
I have left this retreat with direction, purpose and more spiritual outlook on life.
"
"Six complete strangers go on a retreat with mushrooms. What could possibly go wrong? As it turns out, nothing. Agatha Christie probably didn't do retreats.
I had an exceptional experience, filled with profound connection with others and with music. A sense of connection I had long forgotten or perhaps never truly felt before. I came to the retreat to understand and overcome my fears. The journey led me to realize what matters most is a deep bond with other people.
This transformative experience wouldn’t have been possible without Carla and Oliver. They were the heart of the retreat, creating an atmosphere that made it so special. No matter the set, a retreat led by Carla and Oliver will always be extraordinary. I am eternally grateful to them.
The retreat led me to realize that from time to time, we may feel lost, but perhaps that’s only so we can embark on the journey of finding ourselves again."
"I am so grateful to Oliver and Carla for creating such a safe and welcoming space to heal and to let go. The facility and surroundings offered the perfect setting to connect with nature, each other, and ourselves. The retreat felt very organic from the moment I arrived, nothing seemed too pre-planned, and they were extremely attentive to our needs collectively and individually. Of course, the highlight of the retreat was the ceremony itself, where everything was thought through from the tea preparation, to the timing, to the sound healing and inclusion during the ceremony, as well as hand-holding and presence when needed, allowing me to truly let go. The collective experience was also wonderful with so many different nationalities that added to this magical weekend's rich tapestry. I will be back again without a doubt.
Thank you,
JiJi"
"My experience at Sinchi Runa was beautiful. It challenged me - as meaningful experiences that require one to turn inwards often do - and the retreat team was there throughout to hold the process with care, skill and consistency. For a week, I felt that I was transported into a timeless place where I could bring myself deeper and deeper into the practice of presence. Several weeks afterwards, I can still feel its effects, and I'm now doing the work needed to bring my insights into daily life. I hope to return to Sinchi Runa for a longer period in the years to come. Thank you to the team!
"
"For those of you thinking of doing just - just do it. It was one of the best weekends of my life. To share this experience with total strangers is quite beautiful. Imagine spending a weekend with new people that are on the same path as you and being with them while they go through a profound moment, maybe even life changing for some. Imagine being in a truly stunning natural setting and amazing house while doing this. Imagine also having great food, conversations, music, yoga but all feeling nicely relaxed and flexible to go where the weekend takes you. Well, it's got it all! Oliver and Carla are prefect hosts, caring, supportive and connected with nature. Total perfection. "
"I was welcomed by a hug, something that has never happened to me. Rosa and Bianca, now my sister/mother/family, after just a few days, have touched my soul. The experience, I do not feel, would have been as magical without their help.
I was taken care of, experienced the ultimate gift of life, in a safe and comfortable setting. The people there were also brilliant but what truly makes this a warm, loving place are the care and attention given to you to make this as safe as possible. They went through thorough testing to ensure suitability and despite my various flaws, ensured I could optimise the days I was there.
I recently had the best day of my life and I can only thank them, and the Mother, for opening my eyes to see whats real. What is beautiful.
I’ve seen green and red whisps of strand across the air, light inside the soul, beating and providing bliss, peace and love. I’ve seen the ground move like snakes and the ceiling flow like water. At the same time coming to a realisation, listening to the women singing and beating drums, that the world is magic. They helped me understand what I needed to, I have come home a reformed person. I truly see what is infront of me and it wasn't just the vine of the soul that did this, it was the combination which ultimately lead to a lifechanging experience. I am currently looking for the next dates I can return. 2-3 days was perfect. Hot showers, comfortable beds, and beautiful background and animals really enhightened the experience.
Ladies, if you are reading this, than you for such an enriching and soul ignighting time. Words cannot express the gratitute, and love I have for you. The last night was the best night I have ever expereinced in my life. I finally saw, I finally understood, things I could never grasp my head around or feel in a decade.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. x"
"My husband and I did a private session together. We both had an incredible experience thanks to Kasham and Douglas. They made us feel very welcome and introduced us to this new experience with open arms, made us feel safe and ready for the journey. The house and the surroundings were amazing. I can highly recommend this to everyone. We left the house with hearts full and much love and deep insights. 🙏❤️"
"It was, without a doubt, the most meaningful experience I’ve had in my entire life.
Calling it a mere “retreat” feels inadequate. This was a profound journey of healing, self-discovery, and renewal.
From the very start, Danilo, Ilsa, Bruno, Porchi (Dog), Gaia, Sénior Libre, and even Isa (Babysitter)—welcomed me with an openness and authenticity that I had never felt before. Each of them seemed to be a unique force of nature, effortlessly working together to guide me toward the bright light that shines within me.
If your wings have been clipped by life’s burdens, they gently help you grow them back. If your inner shield had shattered under the weight of fear, shame, guilt, and anxiety, they skillfully guide you in mending it. The love and healing energy of Mother Earth flowed into every moment, filling me with courage, acceptance, love, and joy.
Over the course of those days, I laughed, I cried, I felt anxious, and I felt sad. In other words, I truly lived. It was like experiencing a great movie—one that stirs every emotion, leaving you wanting to sit through the credits, reluctant to face the lights coming up and the world outside. Yet, as the final hours approached, I understood I had to return home, carrying these lessons and newfound insights back into my daily life.
This place gave me memories of a lifetime and ‘Hope’ that there is a way to overcome our demons permanently.
And I know I’m not alone in this. Every review you read about this retreat is real and heartfelt. They are honest reflections of the extraordinary healing that takes place. If you are ready to embrace your journey, to release what no longer serves you, and to rediscover what it feels like to fully live, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. It may just be the most meaningful thing you ever do for yourself.
Thank you for everything. GC 🫶🏼"
"An incredible experience that is difficult for me to put into words. But it gave me exactly what I needed. After a very short time, I notice how my relationships with my loved ones, but also with myself, have improved greatly.
I can't thank Ilse and Danilo enough for creating such a unique place and sharing it and this energy with the world. I am grateful that my life has led me here and that the two of them, along with Bruno, accompanied and supported me on this path. Big Thanks!"
"What a wonderful experience! I and 5 other people I’ve never met attended the retreat at the start of December. I was made to feel truly welcome and cared for from the start by Danilo and Ilse, at a challenging and questioning time in my life.
All of the attendees bonded from the start; everyone was happy to open and share putting us all at ease. This was made so easy by the beautiful setting and the warm and supportive nature of our hosts. I felt a bit broken going in to the retreat, but was reassured that everyone there, although we all had different issues to explore and deal with, were ultimately there for the same very human reasons. It created an amazing feeling of genuine connection.
Having Bruno join us was an added bonus. Like Danilo and Isle, he was a very warm, kind and caring human being and made us all feel so calm and cared for. Most importantly, he helped us understand the answers lay within us and for the ultimate need to love ourselves.
The whole setting, experience, beautiful music, nourishing food, mutual openness and sharing made it a truly transformative experience. The key now is putting in to practice what we learned in real life and each day.
We probably all go here attracted by the ‘magic’ of Ayahuasca, Bufo and the other medicines. Whilst the medicines are helpful, the real magic is in the connection, bonding and nuturing environment on a very human level that Danilo, Isla, Porchie and Gaia have created. Having been I can see why all the reviews are 5 star and it’s something I would definitely do again. Much love. Thanks all 🫶. PK"
"I recently had the pleasure of attending this retreat, and I can confidently say it was one of the most significant experiences I've ever encountered. From start to finish, every aspect of this retreat radiated excellence, love and acceptance.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by warm smiles and porchi the most fantastic dog ever which instantly made me feel at home. Ilse and Danillo have clearly put their hearts into creating a space where everyone feels safe and supported. The attention to detail in both the setting and programming is extraordinary—each moment seemed thoughtfully curated to foster connection with oneself, and with eachother.
One aspect that truly stood out was the sense of community cultivated throughout our time together. Everyone came with open hearts, ready to share their stories and support one another on this journey of self-discovery. It felt like a family.
Additionally, the meals provided during the retreat were not only delicious but also prepared with love using fresh ingredients. Each meal was an experience in itself; i can easily see myself going vegan just by eating Ilses cooking.
As we concluded our time together, I left feeling rejuvenated and inspired—filled with gratitude for all that I learned about myself as well as my relationship with others around me.
I cannot recommend this retreat highly enough! If you’re seeking an experience filled with love, growth, community—and perhaps even a bit of magic—look no further!
Thank you once again Ilse, Danillo, Porchi and of course Bruno who helped us all and is such a caring person."
"Everything was going so beautifully until storm Darragh put a stop to our weekend !
The 24 hours my daughter and I shared at the Deerstone was wonderful . Casey smiled the entire time , was welcoming , relaxed and gave the best sessions . Resident botanist Amy added an absolutely perfect ingredient to what was a really immersive experience into the local nature at Deerstone .
Accommodation was lovely and our cottage well equipped for self caterers, very clean and warm .
Unfortunately we never got to use the hot tub or any of the other enticing spa facilities dotted around the site .
Hopefully we will be back and for the whole weekend next time ! "
"Attending the ayahuasca retreat hosted by Danilo and Ilse last weekend was one of the most profound and transformative experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived at their home, I felt a deep sense of safety and belonging. Bruno is a truly remarkable human being as well—kind, compassionate, and deeply intuitive. Their presence radiates a genuine love for what they do and the people they guide through the process.
Throughout the experience, I felt supported at every step. Their calm energy paired beautifully with Ilse’s nurturing and intuitive care, making the retreat a truly balanced and harmonious experience.
I am deeply grateful to have crossed paths with these beautiful people. Their dedication to helping others on their journeys of self-discovery and healing is inspiring. I left their retreat not only with a renewed sense of clarity and peace but also with a profound appreciation for their work and the beautiful souls that they are.
C.P."
"It felt like home! Great people, great experience! I will definitely like to go back again! Thanks for the great experience!"
"Attending this retreat was a profoundly transformative experience. The facilitators Marijn and Femke created a safe, nurturing, and beautifully held space that allowed for deep self-reflection and growth. From the rhythmic resonance of the drums to the grounding yoga sessions, every element was thoughtfully designed to foster connection, healing, and inner peace. The environment was both welcoming and serene, making it the perfect setting for this journey. I left feeling renewed and deeply grateful for the care and intention that went into every aspect of the retreat."
