Prana Verein

Very professional staff, beautiful singing and wise guidance from Shandra and Sonia. Profound experience overall. To anyone interested in experimenting with consciousness and opening the door to higher insight and healing, I can voucher for Prana Verein.

A huge thank you to the whole team for making this retreat a wonderful experience. The guidance and support I received before, throughout and after the retreat, as well as during the ceremonies themselves, has really helped me to integrate the experience and is already creating a positive shift in my life. Not to mention, the food was delicious and the venue was beautiful!! I would highly recommend Devi Chandra Ma and her team to anyone drawn to the plant medicine path.

It was my first healing retreat and I could have not chosen a better group of caring and expert individuals.
During the entire experience I have felt well-informed and taken care of, from testing the ground by asking all sorts of questions and booking the retreat with Alise, to join Chandra, Sonia and all the other facilitators in a wonderful location in Portugal where they made sure I had everything I needed.
Although I cannot put in words how awakening and impactful on my life this experience has been, I can only stress out how I completely trusted Chandra and Sonia from the very beginning, their aura exudes kindness and compassion.
I would choose nobody else than them to embark in such a transformative journey.
I am beyond grateful they have entered my life.
Can't wait to meet them all again very soon!

I felt that I could 100% trust Chandra and Sonia with the experience, and they are the only people I would go on this journey with. They are caring, compassionate, good listeners, and experts in plant medicines.

Chandra made sure that every person on the retreat had their needs met. The best part was the focus on integration and the integration talks really made this a sustainable experience and provided me with the tools to implement the learning in my practical life. The integration focus is unique to this specific retreat, as other retreats do not focus on the integration and post-retreat experiences.

Chandra and Sonia made sure we weren’t traumatized and offered ayahuasca doses that fit with our experiences and histories. This was very important for me as I was a bit worried about the impact of ayahuasca on me. During the ceremonies, Chandra and Sonia made sure we were protected and comfortable. Chandra’s songs and beautiful voice really helped amplify the journey. After the ceremonies were over, I still felt very buzzed and Chandra and Sonia offered support at the end of all three nights, but I refused. If I could do anything differently, I would have asked for support then. However, I was fine, and I had a safe night after all three ceremonies.

I learned a lot in the retreat (beyond the ayahuasca ceremony) that I found extremely useful. For example, I learned about breathing techniques, yoga, healing modalities, food, meditation, and aromatherapy.

SINCE THE RETREAT, I HAVE NO MORE FIBROMYALGIA PAIN, so if you have chronic conditions relating to trauma, this may be the medicine to try.

The accommodation was beautiful. The food was in accordance with the requirements of the ayahuasca diet and there were a variety of options.

I went to the retreat looking for freedom from pain, and I came back with so much more – a support group, a family, a toolkit of resources for life, and a newfound perspective. Thank you for making this a special experience.

It’s reductive trying to explain my experience through a written review, it’s been the best week of my whole life so far, now I’m awakened and I cannot wait to live my life with my new “self”. Thank to Chandra, Sonia, Alise and Roy.
My life is gonna be different, thanks for the turning point opportunity you gave me. I ll never forget you
