Find Authentic Retreats in Cdiar Spain

"How to put into words Marc, Alex and Vera (as well as all the other incredible, and welcoming humans who have hosted me). I have returned twice, (which says a lot 🙏🏼😊). I went in March ‘23 and more recently in November. There is a home-like feel to the people and the place like no other. The experience is always unique, to yourself and everyone else but there is a calmness and safety to the entire experience. I had experienced plant medicine in South America, and I found my time in Tenerife as such a special experience, one of connection, love, humour, self reflection, breakthroughs, understanding. But the main part is how it’s facilitated- that’s different, on each of my occasions, you really do leave as family (as cliche as that sounds!) I’ve never know a retreat to facilitate it so well. It holds a special place to me and I whole heartedly recommend this to anyone who is considering doing plant medicines for the first time, as it’s such a calming and safe environment. Thank you all again, till the next time! Kelli 🙏🏼"

"I felt comfortable from the beginning and was happy to meet such lovely people"

"The deepest and most profound experience of my life. Invaluable! Will return. Alex, Vera and Marc took great care of me. I feel very grateful "

"La Mezquita came along in my life at the exact time I needed them. Jolie, Klara, Pepi, Peter and Sansom are the absolute best. Sansom told me he and his staff “had my back” and they absolutely did. I can’t recommend them highly enough!. The group I went through the process with were kind, loving and caring people from all over the world. We all gathered there for all different reasons and we all gave eathother the space and room to learn, grow, and heal. If you are considering La Mezquita - take the leap - Sansom’s got you! Hope you meet Peter! He is a wonderful human being and someone I want to connect deeper with. He touched me in a deep and profound way! Thank you guys! It was nice to meet so many cool people. Namaste! "

"Lala has an exceptional talent for insight and guidance to brighten anyone's day."

"An amazing, loving and bubbly grandmother I never new I had."

"I had no idea what to expect coming to this retreat but now reflecting back I couldn't have picked a better place. The location, the team, the services and the atmosphere were all exceptional and literally mind blowing. I wish I could've stayed forever."

"They experience its a solid 10 points!!! Since arrival and up until the end, the level of service, commitment and care, for the customers is as valuable as it can get. We came as a couple and each one was able to have his/her own transformational, transcendental, personal experience. Food was natural organic and delicious. Fantastic experience overall with wonderful human beings. Recommended 100% is an understatement."

"I just completed this retreat and I am so grateful for the experience! Samson and his team were outstanding and very attentive to all the needs of the group. The environment was safe and welcoming to everyone. Everyone was allowed to experience the journey in the way they needed and at each person’s own pace. I had group support as well as given my own space when desired. The food was outstanding and plentiful. The La Mezquita crew loves their work and it shows in the care and individual attention they provide. I highly recommend this retreat and the La Mezquita Team!"

"La Mezquita team is an amazing group of people who made my experience very smooth, safe and efficient. I felt truly cared about, supported and at the same time free to explore and find “my own way”. The food, the setting, people who were creating the setting and taking care of all the small staff and details - all of it was contributing to amazing retreat. I am really inspired and optimistic after the retreat at la Mezquita and feel grateful to the team for their efforts and care. "

"Abuela Munay and her partner Javi led an indescribable and authentic ceremony that was a true privilege to experience. She has the most infectious, soulful laugh and is full of compassion. I am so grateful to have had this experience in her company. A special person and a real treasure. "

"I had an incredible experience with the wonderful team at La Mezquita in early Feb. Munay and Javi led a phenomenal and authentic ceremony that was very ably supported by the empathetic Joshua, Pepe and Jake. Everyone in our group was very well suited and connected to one another easily. The food and ambience were excellent too. The beach is very close by as well for those who wish to visit it. The shared apartments were lovely and only seconds away from La Mezquita too - which is very handy! I felt supported during my stay and I will certainly consider the other experiences on offer in the future. I think there's even a potential to have longer retreats with an extra day before and after the ceremonies maybe. "

"Am a breath master and a curious person and it was a while since I wanted to try the Ayahuasca so that ,after lot of research,I found Vera&Alex here in my Archipelago. I definitely couldn’t be luckier coz my experience was as deep as illuminating and I do think that most of the experience results depended from those splendid people and their teammates,they are so professional -friendly-safe transmitting and much more that I will probably be back in one or two months at last! I deeply suggest their retreat 🤗"

"APL are very professional. The team are all amazing people and they made me feel very supported, cared for and safe. "

"I have previously experienced Ayahuasca in different settings and must say that this one was hands down, the best. Such a warm welcome from the people and a loving house in the most beautiful nature. There was no rush. There was plenty of time to arrive, to settle and to explore. Zero pressure. I have felt so much love coming from the facilitators. Not only towards the medicine, but towards the act of service and fostering a safe and secure space where everyone feels relaxed and able to express their true authentic self. There was no pretentiousness. It was a very loving experience that nurtures healing and rest. It is truly the perfect setting for everyone who is looking for healing and transformation. For me, it was the first time experiencing a Shipibo Shaman. My wildest imaginations were blown! José did truly an amazing job. There was so much wisdom and healing coming from him. I am deeply touched and grateful to have experienced this in this lifetime. Everyone who feels the call or curiosity to join this place, please do. In comparison to other retreats that I have been to, this one has been the best (by far!). I can highly and truly recommend it."

"Words can't describe how grateful I am for the energy and care Munay had for our entire group. "

"I can't recommend La Mezquita highly enough! The people, the place, the care,.. it would have been a fantastic wholesome experience even without the ayahuasca. 10/10, can and will recommend. "

"Great yoga instructor, fantastic communication and great interpersonal skills."

"So full of life, happy and fun! Witty! Full of maternal energy and very caring!"

"The trip overall was really great. Well organised, clear schedule / itinerary, healthy food and nice to have a Europe-based retreat. The trip would have benefitted from more rest days between each ceremony rather than people being exhausted between ceremonies."

"I’m naturally inclined and professionally educated to be skeptical, so I was reticent upon arrival. When I met the team, my hesitance diminished and my curiosity prevailed. By the time the experience was over, I was convinced I made the perfect choice for my first exposure to ayawaska. "

"It was such a beautiful treat as a first-timer to see that the shaman was a woman! When sitting at the altar, as she gives me the cup, I can't help but feel it's an angel, not a human being. Her face was lit by the candlelight. When she sang my entire body responded with all sorts of beautiful sensations. Her music brought me into my body like I've never experienced before. And when I had touch journeys, she was right there with me through it all. I am just so very lucky she was my shaman. OCAHE!"

"I can't say enough about this marvelous experience I had with Avalon. Everything was designed in such a way to make my journey a most wonderful one. I felt held and supported. For someone who has difficulty asking for help in the real world, this was an exercise of total surrender that I will hold close to my heart forever. I went full of fear and doubt if it would work for me, if it works at all etc... and I left with way more than I could ever expect. I was contemplating an ayahuasca retreat for around 8 or 10 years. I wish from the bottom of my heart that I had done it earlier. But all happens in good time. If I were to do it again, Avalon would be where I would go. The shaman, the music, the location, the venue, and the support team (those we met and those behind the scenes) were all so beautifully orchestrated into the most beautiful work of art to give us the experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend them. "

"I attended the 4 day psilocybin retreat and would highly recommend La Mezquita for a budget friendly dive into the world of psychedelics. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, the food all home cooked and delicious, the ceremonies were well managed with a high staff to guest ratio. "

"I have already been to a few retreats before but this one stuck out. They had 4 really good musicians there who played amazing music throughout the ceremonies. Also the facilitator to participant ratio was really high so you could always get support. Not to mention the food: At every meal they provide you with a lot of homemade, healthy and delicious options (Sanson does an incredible Maroccan Tangine) Well deserved 5 stars!"

"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 🤍"

"All around supportive and friendly guy! Thanks, Marc"

"Alex and Vera really helped me on my journey towards inner strength and love. As a Ukrainian, I had not just personal issues, but also deep rooted stress and trauma and anxiety that I share with all my people… Thank you!"

"Since July 2023 I’ve been observing tremendous positive change in my life. From finding my true inner strength to stopping a lifetime of nail biting and picking. And I was born in the early 90s, so that’s a long time of anxiety unleashed on one’s nails! Felt like home, felt safe, felt like an idyllic summer camp experience I’ve never had before. I left feeling strong, loving and loved. Now I know I have a place to return to when I hear the calling… big love! And see you! "
