Beyond expectations in every way

I feel management prioritised money over their clients (the service is A1 though)
If you are looking for an extremely structured and safe company to use, absolutely consider Avalon. The Shaman's they picked in my retreat were PHENOMENAL!
They take great care in creating a program that allows you to go fundamentally and intrinsically deep in your healing, leaving you with a toolkit to delve into when you are integrating. Chef's kiss.

It was a transformational process. In some ways life changing and in equal measure life affirming.

HOWEVER...
In my group there were certain individuals who were overwhelming and overbearing. Not only in the ceremonies but in every activity, including integration.
Despite the groups outspoken view (we were told we could share without judgement), management decided to protect their brand and management structure instead of finding other ways to allow for certain overbearing individuals to have their experiences away from the main group.

I say this on 4 accounts of accountability from management. The forth one i can allow some leniency, but it needs to be said nevertheless. I will also say this. Many of us and you reading this... "There is always a price to pay". Not all of us have endless funds and it is a serious commitment we are undertaking.

1. When i saw on the intake form "Do you agree to take a drug test" I took that very seriously and subject myself to extreme discomfort in the build up of the retreat in my diet phase. I took no drugs and stopped all my supplements, which normally made me feel fundamentally good in my day. No drug test took place and one member of the group admitted to be on anti depressants (admission of this was on the last day). This could have ruined the whole experience for us as we came to learn that the combination of anti-depressants and ayahuasca could be fatal. This was a huge oversight, especially as it felt the question asked was purely lip service.

2. Discernment was not applied in the interviewing process by management. Either the client in question lied about their personality or management did not ask deep enough questions to consider how individuals would impact the whole group.
Furthermore, if management were lied to they should have had extra facilities to accommodate this, especially as the whole group bar none complained daily. Nothing was done.
If you are reading this and on some level you know you lie about your personality, know that the majority will find out and some will have the courage to speak on the matter with INTEGRITY. Why else would be subject ourselves to such an experience.

3. We were told we could share our experiences without judgement and on the whole we could, however, when it came to speak our truth on specific individuals having an impact on ALL of our ceremonies it was met with a "spiritual cloud" to look within and assess whether in some way the deficit in our own understanding and area of healing needed more work. This was incorrect, misplaced and not delivered well. It jarred many souls' experiences. Energy never lies.

4. I wanted to share the above 3 points in my 1:1 session, but was challenged to think on whether the 1:1 was the right setting in which to share these thoughts. I pondered in silence and came to the conclusion that the uncomfortable amount of time it took for me to come to that conclusion that the 1:1 was not the right place. However, I did say to the facilitator to please arrange a time to hear my significant thoughts before the retreat ended in person, which was met with a commitment. The commitment never emerged. Therefore, i write this in full here.

To note, I definitely don't mean 1 star, but in the world we live in many people read negative comments than positive, so here we are.

A beautiful, safe space to be vulnerable
I am so glad I chose Avalon for my first plant medicine experience. It was extremely well organised, the location was lovely, the food delicious and beautifully presented, the staff warm and caring. Waxy and her daughters were amazing and played, sang and took care of us during the Ayahuasca and Kambo ceremonies. The integration coaches created a safe space for us to share experiences and be vulnerable.
Thank you so much.
Blessings

I want to say a huge thank you to the whole team at Avalon for everything that they did for my group and I over our 4 day ayahuasca retreat. Everything was perfectly planned from start to finish to create a safe and loving space where we could fully experience and integrate the powers of Uni (ayahuasca), and everybody did everything and anything they could to support us. A special thanks to our shaman Waxy Yawanawá and her daughters Hukê and Sanã, their care and guidance throughout was nothing short of amazing. If you have the chance to take part in a retreat here, do it.
