Find Authentic Retreats in Canary Islands Spain

"We had the best time ever at this retreat and Ivan and Stella made us feel at home and very welcome. The course was quite hard work but so worth it. There was sunrise yoga and meditation before a delicious healthy breakfast and after that we learnt many massage techniques on one another which made you feel amazing afterwards. I definitely recommend the room by the pool which is a little bit more expensive but worth it. Loved the dog, the cat too! "

"If you intend to get some lasting results from the experience, you will be in very good hands. The host insists on preparation and afterwards, digestion of the session :-) I'm very happy with the service! On the logistical side, it is not far from the airport (about 15 km), yet away from the busy and noisy areas."

"There's no real way to describe this experience. It's something you can only understand once you have taken the journey and surrendered to its power. I cam only highly reccomend doing it! The team at Safe Spirit are incredible. Their knowledge and energy was perfect. I can't thank them enough for guiding me through the process. "

"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 🙏🏼"

"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 "

"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 🤗"

"I travelled to Fuerteventura in early February 2024 to spend a day at Phycedelics Exploration with the wonderful Filippo. I arrived early in the morning and was picked up by Filippo, who greeted me with a big, welcoming smile. We talked in the car and got to know each other's journeys so far, which put me at ease for the experience ahead. Upon arrival at the ceremony space, Filippo kindly explained the process and eventually led with some breathwork before providing the medicine. I put on a mind-fold as Filippo put on some appropriate music to help me go within. I lay down to see what the mushrooms would show me He was there the entire time - I felt well looked after, having a kind soul there to help guide me and act as a sounding board for whatever came up. Later into the session, Filippo played the Djembe (African drum) along with the ceremony music that was playing. For reasons I can't explain this took the experience to a whole other level. I felt deeply connected back to earth as if my body was gently being pulled back from the lassitude of modern-day life, social media, constant distraction, shallow connections and consumerism. I left the day feeling I'd remembered how it was to be, what was possible, and how I could change things for the better. The days after were just as impactful, as Filippo, with his depth of empathy and care, contacted me to check in and help with the "integration" phase. For anyone looking to try psilocybin as a means to facilitate and bring about discovery and change, I can't recommend Psychedelics Exploration + Filippo enough. Thank you!"

"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! "

"Everything exceeded my expectations, I had a great time and great results. I had the opportunity to meet very kind people (hosts but also other guests), it's a family-like atmosphere. I genuinely recommend the Safe Spirit retreat."

"One of the most magical and out of this world experience with the best coaches/guide/guru what ever y call it. Worth every penny and more! Thank you guys!"

"Extremely deep sensitive experience! Thank you guys for making it happen! Seems like everything that bothered me during many years now gone and that’s because of you! Hope to see you again!"

"Marc is great, he is so lovely, kind, fun and helpful. Marc does a wonderful job welcoming everyone and is always ready to help you get the best from your experience. Marc provides information regarding the retreat, travel options and directions. I have a lot of time for Marc, he is a wonderful person and I love his company."

"My second visit. I had a great time, I love the surroundings, my shared room was comfortable, the food and drink was healthy, delicious and nutritious. The sacred ceremonies are performed in the ceremony hall, floor mats, blankets and cushions are provided for your comfort in a candle lit environment. The music is a really good mixture that aids the unique individualised ayahuasca experience enhanced with live music, percussion instruments and shamanic tools. It is worth staying for all three nights as each ceremony offers a different experience to the other. There is the opportunity to do Kambo in the mornings and if deemed suitable Bufo in the the afternoon. Vera and Alex are experienced in what they do and I always feel safe exploring myself in their company. I have no hesitation in recommending their services."

"Lovely people, open, warm, welcoming, great sense of fun and humour. They have huge hearts and care about your experience. They guide, advise and offer insight. Beautiful couple ❤"

"I recommend this experience wholeheartedly. "

"I had a very emotional and transformative experience. The facilitators are very good at what they do, leading the ceremonies and the experience trough music sounds and smells. Most importantly making sense of what was experienced after in the integration sessions. It was a very safe environment to experience Ayahuasca, I am grateful I had the privilege to meet myself that way with her and their help. "

"I had a 2 day retreat with the guys..Great experience and people.. attentive and caring but also very honest creating a safe space .. beautiful quiet area too away from the touristic parts of the island. Basic accommodation gives the feeling of a family gathering at my auntie's. Highly recommended. "

"I am so glad I went on this retreat. The revelation/takeaway I got from the plant medicine’s was that it showed me that there is a lot of peace and love deep inside of me. Before embarking on the retreat I used to live with a lot of self doubt and insecurity about myself, and now I can live with much less of those defects. On days when I am not working I sometimes have been going for acupuncture, reflexology and massage "

"I am happy that I visited the retreat. All my doubts I had before was an illusion. Thanks you Marc, Vera, Alex Miguel and Michelle. I feel like a new born human. I can feel the joy and the love in little and big things in my life. It's an amazing Retreat in Tenerife. I recommend this for everyone. "

"Thanks for sharing the medicine with us :-)"

"We see you soon. Ayahuasca heals the world"

"Die Anmeldung und der Kontakt verliefen wunderbar. Auch die Durchführung des Retreats und die Organisation des Teams waren ausgezeichnet. Ich möchte nicht zu sehr von meinen Erfahrungen mit Ayahuasca erzählen. Ich möchte fairerweise hier eine positive Bewertung dalassen, weil ich komplett das Gegenteil von der unterstehenden negativen Bewertung hier erfahren habe. Das gesamte Team gibt sich sehr viel Mühe das sich jeder der Teilnehmer wohl fühlt und in die eigene Heilung gehen kann. Ayahuasa wirkt nicht immer stark psychoaktiv, wie es öfters in anderen Erfahrungsberichten zu hören ist. Ayahuasa ist eine Medizin. Das darf man nie vergessen. "

"Nunca en mi vida había experimentado una conexión tan potente con mi ser, con mi yo. Todo ocurrió después de que decidí probar el kambo. Fueron cinco sesiones. Descubrí mi verdadero yo. Sentí una fuerza, LA FUERZA, que tod@s tenemos dentro y buscamos siempre fuera de nosotros. Alex y Vera me acompañaron en todo momento y les estaré eternamente agradecida. Después de años de dependencia a muchas pastillas tales como antidepresivos y ansiolíticos, conseguí liberarme de ellos descubriendo que yo soy mi única y verdadera medicina. Las tomas de Ayahuasca reforzaron lo que ya había descubierto. Una conexión total conmigo misma, con mi ser. Un amor inconmensurable. Os recomiendo que no dudéis en acudir a este par de profesionales que, sin duda, os guiarán y facilitarán el acceso a vuestro propio maestro interior. Si tenéis dudas acerca de lo que estoy describiendo, estoy dispuesta a compartir mi experiencia con cualquiera que me escriba. Gracias desde lo más profundo de mi corazón. 🙏🏼❤️"

"Puedo decir honesta y orgullosamente, fue la mejor decisión de mi vida hacer los 3 días de retiro de ayahuasca. También me siento afortunado y bendecido de encontrar a Vera, Bogi, Alex y Gabor. Son verdaderamente profesionales en lo que hacen. Mi vida no es la misma que antes. Estaba tan cansado de mi viejo yo (decían que era mi ego y mis falsas personalidades). No pude resolver mis problemas, así que sufrí de insomnio durante años, por lo tanto, comencé a fumar marihuana para dormir y luego lo usé casi las 24 horas del día. Para mí personalmente, el Bufo Alvarius hizo la gran magia. Realmente creo que es el milagro más grande del mundo. Atraves de el conoci mi verdadero ser y ya no quiero fumar marihuana, y puedo dormir como un bebé naturalmente. Ahora estoy 10 días después del retiro y me doy cuenta de cosas increíbles en mi vida, lo que no podía ver antes. Dijeron que la planta funcionará en mi cuerpo en los próximos 40 días y que pueden ocurrir grandes realizaciones. Estoy en contacto con ellos desde entonces. Me ayudan mucho con cualquier question, que tengo. Gracias por ser parte del viaje más hermoso de mi vida"

"I have often been to Alex and Vera on their retreats. Every retreat is different and has its own energy. On some retreats I felt and dived deep into spiritual worlds. My entire environment changed about 40 minutes after taking the ayahuasca. I saw the universe, deceased members of my family, and once I even had a near-death experience with Yopo. Very scary, but afterwards I felt like a new person. However, there were retreat nights where I felt ayahuasca on a completely different level. It was more psychological, more of a confrontation with my ego and what I have to work on in my daily life. It was the confrontation with my dark side. I felt distrust, anger, anger and self-doubt towards the guides and the other participants. At that time I thought that this ayahuasca didn't work at all. I felt cheated. But now several weeks later, clarity comes to me. The ayahuasca worked, only this time not on a visionary level, but psychologically. Now I feel much more liberated because I now understand what my downsides are. I still have to integrate this into my life. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to learn this lesson. Outer circumstances are a mirror of my inner thoughts. My self-deception was such that I assumed I was being deceived on the outside of the retreat. However, this deceit was just an illusion of my inner thoughts."
