Fantastic!!!
Loved the facilitators, Ana and Brendan. They are amazingly friendly, helpful, living and caring.
The plant medicine ceremonies were well catered for.
Hugo - the sound healer accompaniment of the ceremonies was spot on, I wouldn't have the same experience without it.
All the staff and the venue itself is brilliant!!!!
It was one of best weeks of my life and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone reading this review. You are obviously in the right place for moving your life up a step. Just go with it.

Life changing experience
My experience at The Sanctuary of Renana retreat was absolutely perfect. I felt guided and safe at all times, Brendan and Ana have a wonderful ability to make us feel at ease, which was very important for me as I had no previous experience with Ayahuasca or any other medicinal plant of sort. I guess I am a complete convert now, thanks Renana :)
I didn't seek this retreat out, it found me. After my experience I've started to recognise and trust the flow of life and in the existence of synchronicity, and it feels great. The ceremonies really helped me go deep within and do some 'clearing out' and i am still feeling the effects weeks later. I hope this lasts for a long long time :) It's very useful and liberating to be faced with oneself and thanks to Ana and Brendan i had the opportunity to experience this life changing lesson.
The venue for the retreat is gorgeous - beautiful nature, a river, a swimming pool, hammocks, lots of little hikes around. The ceremonies took place in a yurt (a yurt!) by the river, and i cannot think of a more perfect magical setting. The food was always super tasty and the staff at the retreat was amazing :)
Music for ceremonies was provided by Hugo and he's a true magician when it comes to gongs and sound bowls. Thank you, Hugo! Your sound art really made this a holistic experience for me.
In short, if you're looking to have a life changing soul searching experience - look no further. You've found Renana. I will definitely be back.

#Blessed
I have a catalogue of auto-immune diseases and believing that mind is the cause, I set about finding a safe place to connect not only with Ayahuasca but also Kambo. I found it at The Sanctuary of Renana. Brendan and Ana run the retreat with expert knowledge and unconditional love. I finished yesterday and while not ‘cured’ I believe I’m on the path to good health. Bless them.

From the heart
When great things happen, they happen with flow and ease as though it was always meant to be. Thats how I felt upon hearing Ana and Brendon talking about the story of The Sanctuary of Renana. From their own experiences, their shamans telling them they would continue working with the plants in Portugal, discovering Michel and 'Senses' (one of the most beautiful spots in the world) and of course the amazing Hugo producing some of the most enchanting music known to man. The bonds formed with my 10fellow participants as well as the staff will be remembered forever. It is in settings such as this that true transformations can take place. Thank you
