"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."
"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."

"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."
"A Whole New High is a sanctuary for the evolution of consciousness. The guides are incredibly gifted and wise. This is an experience everyone should undergo. Gratitude beyond measure."
"Massive gratitude for the session! Not only did it bring me clarity, but it tackled all my queries. I've gained practical tools for my daily life, and the transformation I'm experiencing already is beyond words – a definite upgrade from before."
"The teams year long experience with psychedelics, their psychotherapy and psychology know-how mixed with Psilocybin magic felt like embarking on an adventure of self-discovery. Thank you!"
"What stood out most for me was the genuine care and compassion that Jeanne and Cony infused into every aspect of their work. Their nurturing presence and commitment to creating a supportive community allows for vulnerability, emotional release, and authentic connection."
"I am truly impressed by a team of gifted and inspiring facilitators who seamlessly integrate both the western and shamanic approaches, creating an experience that truly embodies A Whole New High."
"incredible! highly recommended."
"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. "
"Prior to this retreat, I was trying everything to improve my mental health for more than 30 years, but everything felt like a shot in the dark. The retreat helped me to see my destination and plot my course forward. I was able to clear away old hurts and move around blocks. The team assembled for our retreat was caring, passionate and knowledgeable; they knew the right word to say at the right time. I feel more like myself than I have in many years. Living true to my inner self is such a gift. I still have work to do, but I now clearly know my direction and feel such purpose and peace every day. It wasn’t what I expected, but it was exactly what I needed. I truly consider the group retreat one of the best things I have ever done and strongly encourage everyone to embrace this experience."
"Insightful and incredible psilocybin therapy session that provided a clear experience of the transformative power of psychedelic experiences."
"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 🤍"
"Mark guided me through my journey, made sure I had the support I needed at all times. Overall the experience was wonderful. Thanks to Mark, I was able to overcome my anxiety throughout the session and went through all the different stages safely. I'm going to return here soon."
"Nothing negative to say! The entire experience was life changing and folks I shared it with were an extraordinary bunch! The facilitators were all compassionate and extremely caring. They are truly gifted in the art of people! "
"Es war einer der schönsten abende die ich erfahren durfte 🕉️❤️🔥"
"Words cannot express how grateful I am to the people at Avalon/ WeAreAvalon.love for my incredible experience with Bufo/DMT. I had done quite a bit of research on possible locations and can say without question Avalon is the best there is. With any ceremony like this it's imperative to be in a safe, LEGAL loving environment with people you trust! From the safety screening process to the preparation calls to the ceremony with the medicine itself every step was designed for the optimal experience. BIG THANKS and MUCH LOVE to Ammy, Ness, Pierluigi and Lala for everything! "
"If you are reading this, you are in search of something - whether it is a way out of the darkness, a way to connect, a way to understand, a way to love; you have found a possible path. It takes courage to lift the vail, it takes courage to give yourself over to shaman, it takes courage to accept - if that feels right for you, Avalon will take care to nourish you with love.
I cannot tell you what you will receive -- if you have any experience with psychedelics, you may already know that you are given what you need, not what you want. I can tell you my experience, up to this moment - the bufo is still vibrating and gifting me even now - I have been reborn as a child of the light and bathed in the love of the universe. These words are clumsy and inadequate; it is a special and beautiful gift. It can be daunting and overwhelming; if you feel ready to step into the light, you have arrived where you should be. Aho, my friend, come dance with us in the stars..."
"This is my 3rd plant medicine experience with the Avalon family. I can honestly say I cannot imagine a more professional, loving, safe, spiritual environment to do plant medicine. Each and every member of the team I have met (many of them) exudes nothing but love, caring and compassion. The attention to detail and the organization are second to none. I cannot recommend them enough, and have done to many friends and my fiancé. So much gratitude to having been blessed with their support and service. Aho "
"It was a journey within yourself. I was able to recognize my fears and face them. Caro looked after and supported me wonderfully!"
"An all encompasing wonderful experiene due to the care put into the ceremony, the music, the guiding instructions and all the prompts to get us engaged, as individuals and comunity. "
"My only regret from this weekend was not going sooner. It was the full experience that made this such an excellent restorative weekend from the yoga, to the venue and location, the activities, staff, group and the amazing food. Everything was in perfect alignment and balance.
Give yourself the gift of loving kindness and go - I am already planning my return visit!"
"Nourishing weekend in a idyllic setting, sumptuous food, walks in the Burren, daily yoga and meditation. A brilliant opportunity to meet like minded souls and rest from the daily grind. Our beautiful teacher, Manasi shared herself so generously with us and provided a safe place for us to just be. Grateful to Dave and his team for all they do and did to make our stay so comfortable and welcoming. I look forward to returning again in the near future."
