"From the moment of enquiry, I felt safe and welcomed by Dominika and Anton - nothing was too much to ask and no question was too small. Dominika kindly arranged transfers from the airport to our accommodation and everything was really smooth, I felt safe and in good hands every step of the way. Onto the retreat… WOW I have been researching Psyolcibin retreats for years and I think I found the perfect one, it’s completely private, in a nest of nature with the most peaceful sounding stream nearby. Dominka and Anton opened up their home to me and gave me the biggest homely welcome I could ask for. I was at ease the entire time - Anton prepared some food and we then went for a walk around the land, which is just so gorgeous - it felt as if we were in a movie, it felt fantastical even. Out of this world. We walked and talked and got to know eachother in preparation for the ceremony in the beautiful dome Dominika and Anton have built - it was the end of December yet it was so warm due to the fireplace, it was perfect. Dominika guided me through the ceremony and Ive never had a more spiritual moment in my life, its changed me forever, Ive seen things and been told things from my childhood, ancestors and future that I will never forget. I processed so much and was able to see the world and the universe with brand new eyes - not to mention seeing the night sky like I have never before. Out of this world. It was carthartic, joyous, revealing.. a paradigm shift. I feel so very lucky to have found Astreaflora, it could have been more perfect. I am in love with life and all it has to offer, and feel I have new friends in Dominika Anton Rinat and Little Zarya - not to mention the dogs, cats and chicken! I could not be more grateful to you all. I will be back for sure when the medicine calls me. With all my gratitude, love and light. Ryan 🤍"

"My initial experience with magic mushrooms at the age of 54 was truly remarkable, largely owing to Dominika. She created a nurturing and secure environment throughout the entire journey, demonstrating exceptional kindness and care. I can't emphasize enough how much I would recommend her, and I'm eagerly looking forward to returning for another experience in the near future."
"We had a wonderful experience at Astraea Flora. The retreat is located in an isolated part of Andalucia. Beautiful countryside all around, magnificent starry sky above. This was our first experience with Psilocybin. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Dominika and Anton were very open and easy to talk to. We spent a lot of time in conversation with them giving us some guidance on what to expect from the experience and how to approach it. They have wonderful pets (cats, dogs and a chicken) which also helped to make us feel right at home. The food was excellent. We were also counselled extensively on safety issues. At every stage we felt completely supported. The ceremony itself was amazing, conducted in a geodesic dome with candles,herbs and a mesmerising soundtrack. It was incredibly powerful but we never felt frightened or unsafe. Would highly recommend it to others and would be very keen to go back. "
"My experience at Astraea Flora could not have been better it was my first too. Dominika was such a great guide. She explained very clearly what to expect (or not), walked me through the process in great detail during several hours before the ceremony. I felt ultra safe. The setting is perfect, the dome conveys a ceremonial character, and the landscape and nature surrounding it are just perfect. During the ceremony Dominika was very helpful and guided me to a perfect session. I think I have made a breakthrough in my life and I already feel like a new person. I would definitely recommend Astraea Flora to anyone seeking this kind of experience in particular for their first time. Dominika and Anton and the whole family have left a mark in my heart."
"I have only good words to say about this retreat. Dominika and Anton is very welcoming and make you feel relaxed from the start. Beautiful and peaceful spot as well. Thanks again for the experience! Would recommend"
"Dominika is just more than nice. She is so gentle and kind, but so strong!
Having her beutifull presence and sharing the ceremony with her is an incredibly peacefull and reassuring expierience.
The place is beutyfull and it is really an unique moment I have shared with the whole family.
Thanks Dominika.
And I hope that many other people will trust you and share this great expierience with you."
"Dominika, Anton and the whole family were so welcoming, and really got to know you and put you at ease, making you feel at home. Some gentle enquiries and full explanations of how the retreat would work. Plenty of time to work through the experience the next day too. Incredible."
"After careful research over several years into psilocybin, benefits and risks as well as how and where to do it, I had my first experience with psilocybin at Astraea Flora in early March 2023 and it was a wonderful experience that far exceeded my best hopes.
From the moment I reached out to make a booking to the last moment of my experience when I said goodbye, every single interaction was warm, friendly, and efficient. Throughout, I felt that I am with friends or family, not people I have met for the first time. I was welcomed to the cozy home of a small family and immediately was at ease in the beautiful and serene rural setting.
In the afternoon, soon after my arrival, Dominika and Anton got to know me and my intentions, answered my questions and explained the process. Since this is a private experience, they could tailor it exactly to suit my needs and concerns and I had no doubt by the end of our conversation that they really cared and that I can trust them absolutely.
My research had led me to understand the importance of the setting (where the experience takes place) and the importance of the person assisting (the sitter). I can point to no specific reason, but I felt a sense of calm and peace and tranquility when I saw the interior of the dome and I was glad to learn that Dominika will be the sitter. I just knew then that I was in a good place and in good hands.
I had clear safety instructions and a clear explanation of how things will occur, what to expect, what could happen and what contingency plans were made. Dominika simply exuded a sense of calm competence.
Naturally, given this was my first experience with anything of the kind, I had gone in with apprehensions, but Dominika’s competence and warmth were instrumental in easing me into the journey. I cannot explain why, but throughout the experience, I had this overwhelming sense of being in the presence of “good”: there was something good in that space and that I was lucky to be there.
My experience was an amazing, wonderful, joyful, positive one. I emerged cleansed, happy and at peace, filled with an immense gratitude for being alive in this world at this moment.
I know that not all experiences are like the one I had, and that one can have troubling or painful ones. With what I saw in this experience with Dominika at Astraea Flora, I now know that if I were to have one of those experiences, I would not wish to have it elsewhere. I know that there, with her, I will be safe.
I placed my trust in Dominika and she helped make this a safe and wonderful experience. For that I shall be forever in her debt.
If you are looking for a place to try your first experience (or even if you are a seasoned veteran of similar experiences), without hesitation I would recommend Astraea Flora.
I know that I will be going back for a second experience, and I know it will be as beneficial as the first one, no matter how easy or difficult it might turn out to be.
¡Hasta pronto, Anton and Dominika!"
"Monika and Anton were very gracious and accommodating hosts. Their cozy home is in a beautiful location in the mountains of Spain. Emil (sitter) was caring and informative! The day after my shroom experience was my birthday, Monika and Anton fixed me breakfast banana pancakes, their extra touch was absolutely appreciated! I highly recommend staying with Monika and Anton!!"
"I thought I had done psilocybin before, but those past experiences could not compare with my experience at Astraea Flora. Anton and Dominika have created a perfect space, and make you feel so welcome and home there. My guide Emil took me through a fantastic evening and night, which I will never forget. A mix of self-therapy, insights, visuals, scary moments, and pure fun and joy! I hope to be back next year <3"
"Apart from a lifechanging ceremony, the whole experience was beyond my expectations! The warmest welcome and so much love when I arrived, delicious food, cozy accommodation and wonderful conversation made this short stay one of my favourite memories. Warm thanks to Domi & Anton for welcoming me in their home and Emil for creating this safe space and guidance from start to the end. Won‘t be my last time with you guys! Much Love "
"A big thank you to Dominika, Anton and my guide Emil. It was such a deep trip inside of myself. I feel so lucky to come here and not to some other group therapy session. The love that everyone gave me is priceless and the experience itself was incredible. I have been reading about psychedelics for a very long time I finally understood the depth of the informations you can get during a well prepared trip in such a proper setting. Already looking forward to come see you again."
"Anton and Dominica are great and welcoming hosts, the food was delicious and the area is breathtaking. Emil is a very good and experienced guide. He really knows how to make others have the best trip possible. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. It was my first time and i couldn't have wished for a better company. 10/10 would recommend"
"Great location, great people, great experience. What more could one ask for?
Setting is perfect, hosts are genuine and passionate about experiences. If you are new or old to such things you can’t go wrong. "
"We had a great experience with Dominika, Anton, Emil. Dominika and Anton welcomed us in their home with a beautiful view on the mountains and forests. Emil was very informative about the retreat and open about his journey and knowledge about it. Me and my girlfriend experienced 🍄 for first time with their guidance and it was mindblowing. We kearned a lot about ourselves, expectations and reality, ego and relationship. We thank you guys so much for all the help and knowledge what we had.
Really recommend the retreat!!!
Tom & Gab"
"All my gratitude to you guys Anton, Dominika and Emil. The conversations were insightful and informative to know about about the session and feel that everything will be ok.
Dominika cooks like a chef, reaaallly nice food. Thank you for your warm, kind welcoming and make feel attached home. The experience was something than I will remember for the rest of my life. Best wishes to you all.
Antonio."
"What a day - Dominika and Anton really make you feel at home from the first minute. The food and location were amazing. Couldn’t have wished for a better first time experience with psylocybin. The shaman’s experience is so impressive and interesting. A great group of people that I am really happy to have met. Until next time! "
"It is certainly something I would recommend everyone to try, at least once. This was my first try and I cannot stop thinking about what I experienced. "
"I told Anton, Dominika, and Emil, my guide, that I wanted to challenge myself, to embark on a deep journey, no matter how difficult. I posed that intention for myself and also to assess if I could feel safe and supported in their hands. Little did I know that I would need as much support as I did, because my journey was quite challenging -- not surprising in hindsight, given the stubbornness of my ego. I went through hell and heaven, and Emil was my safety net and fellow warrior in the dark, a reassuring presence throughout the journey, and a wonderful brother with whom to celebrate the light. I owe them all an enormous debt of gratitude for providing me with all the safety and support I needed -- and a whole lot more.
Thank you!!!
Enio"
"Wow… I honestly don’t know where to start! This retreat has honestly been the best thing I have ever done. I have never in my life felt more at home and accepted for who I am. Dominika & Anton couldn’t have been more welcoming and their place is a utopia! Juan Carlos the Shaman was the most wonderful, wise & sensitive healer and in my darkest moments I felt so safe. I literally have tears in my eyes writing this. Words can’t describe my gratitude and awe towards these incredible people and incredible experience. Big, big love x"
"Wow!! What a magical life-changing experience this was. Right from the start Dominika and Anton make sure to treat you like family, such kind hearted people who make sure you don’t lack anything in your experience. The food was amazing and so was the location. A place in secluded nature, adding to the grounding feel of the ayahuasca ceremony. It was nice to have a limited amount of people in the group, as it made the experience personal and it made it possible to connect deeply with the other participants as well. The shaman was very experienced and had a lot of musical talent, the icaros he played during the ceremony really added to the beauty and intensity of the experience. The sensory meditation on the third day was profound and beyond what I expected as well. Last but not least, planting your own tree was a nice way to close off the beautiful four days. I am already missing this place and will make sure to go back in the future when I get the chance. I couldn’t imagine a better way to attend an ayahuasca ceremony for the first time."
"This place changed/saved my life! I came to Astraea Flora in a time in my life where I had a lot of stress, anxiety and years of unhealed trauma. I didn’t know what to expect, I soon was humbled. I have never been in a more nurturing environment in my life. You come to Astraea Flora for a very intimate journey with plant medicine and you just feel so wrapped up so you can begin healing. I now call this place my home because it is where I was reborn.
I have been to Astraea Flora twice now. The first was for the sacred plant medicine and the second was for a mushroom retreat. Both times were incredible and I received the same level of care.
If you are thinking of doing a psychedelic retreat then look no further. It’s such a vulnerable process that you need to be in safe hands and given the time you need to reflect after in the beautiful surroundings. The ceremonies, which are held in the dome and at night, are intimate and the most beautiful thing I have ever been part of.
Once you have been here, you become part of the Astraea Flora family, for some that is their only family… but the only family that is needed."
"Beautiful place amongst the stars and mountains. The hosts were so very nice, caring and attentive. I loved our shaman, his energy and music were very soothing. The team created a pleasant family atmosphere where healing could take place. Basic and rustic facilities with all essentials. Very grateful for this experience! "
"When you step into the unknown and decide to do something a tad radical in life the only thing that your want is to feel comfortable and at peace when at your stay. That is exactly what you get here! The food is amazing, the views are stunning and the location is peaceful. The small groups make it perfect to connect and share experiences and the hosts Dominika and Anton treat you like family straight from the start. The ceremonies are in a perfect setting really allowing you to open up and let go. The experience can be confusing and doesn’t always make sense at the time but the ayahuasca shows you what you need to see not what you necessary want to see. It gives you a new perspective and clarity on life to deal with your challenges and grow your energy. Thanks you Dominika, Anton and of course our wonderful shaman, Christian!"
"It is hard to imagine a better place to be for this tradition. Secluded in nature, small groups, healthy and good food, simple and comfortable at the same time, music, gatherings around an evening fireplace. Dominika and Anton have created a little heaven on earth.
I felt so comfortable and taken care of, at all times. Both the hosts, the shaman Christian and the other participants (some I will never forget) made it a perfect stay. I had aone night turning out super brutal, unexpected things coming up. The cliche turns out to be true, aya doesn't give you what you want, but what you need. And at this place I was still as ok as I could be, with places to digest and integrate alone, as well as with others."
"Since my experience at Dominica and Anton’s retreat, I have made so many decisions in my life going forward that I am so certain of. I had realisations, visions and intimate healing with ayahuasca and this will always stay with me. It’s as if I have had my eyes opened for the first time, there is so much to be learnt on this experience.
I find that I wish to be a healer, using prana and energy. I will embark on my journey soon, all thanks to this experience!
I really cannot be more thankful towards the family that hosted, our shaman that conducted the treatments of plant medicine, and the other attendees with their beautiful stories and unique experiences.
I have a newfound respect and humility towards the sacred plant medicine, and I wish to receive it further when and as I need it in my life.
The one drawback however, is though I thoroughly found help in the kambo, I now have a nasty infection on the burn site, even after having the tree sap antiseptic. I’m now needing treatment for it, and my appetite is completely gone, as well as rejecting/purging any food even days after being home. But other than these physical symptoms, I have never felt more awake spiritually.
Thank you to all the people that facilitated this retreat, I couldn’t be more pleased! "
"It is hard to picture a better setup, with small groups, beautiful nature, places to relax alone, music, good and healthy food, a fireplace in the evenings. It is a place of trust, love, openness and new experiences. Dominika and Anton have created a secluded heaven.
I am stll digesting my experience, particularly one night was brutal, painful and intense for me. The cliche "aya doesn't give you what you want, but what you need" seems true. I got a healthy shakeup for the daily me. And I was taken so well care of, both by shaman Christian, by fellow participants (which I will never forget), and by the hosts. Although I felt and looked like a walking dead at times, the days after have given rejuvenation, energy and healthy contemplation <3"
"The retreat place is managed by a lovely warm family and some relaxed dogs and cats. A simple dome rooted into the mountain nearby a river. The location provides pure nature surroundings, and extra effort to arrive. But, it worth it.
The Sharman shares suffice knowledge of the medicine and show immense respect to the gift. The natural power of him guides and protects us during the trip. And less than 6 people's group sets trustworthy and cozy atmosphere.
Whatever you want to get out of the retreat, you will never know what you will get. Aya gave you the chance to walk into your unknown field, be it the other dimension, your life journey, a message from your spirit, a pure clear realization.
Appreciate this gift."
"Im so so so greatful for this experiens, so happy about that i meet al the loving pepole, its like a new world to understand the power of love, thank u Anton,Dominika,Christam for make this possible, all the love you spread, reminds me of who I am and make me wake up from the dream<3 ALL LOVE<3333333"
"I am ever so grateful for this life changing experience. Dominika and Anton treated me like family and instantly made me feel at home. They were always very attentive and made sure that everyone was feeling comfortable and safe throughout the entire stay. The Taita guided us all the way through the ceremonies and thought us some very valuable life lessons that I will forever live by. This is truly a place of healing and self reflection. I am a better person now for myself and everyone around me after reconnecting back with nature and regaining my spirituality and faith. "
