"I am so deeply grateful to have experienced a retreat with Ayayni. I can’t thank the team enough for facilitating such a loving and compassionate environment where I could allow myself to be at my most vulnerable whilst still feeling completely safe and understood. The experience was truly life changing and I look forward to continuing my journey to healing and power in future Ayayni retreats. The whole weekend was truly magical!"

"I will hold this experience in my heart forever. Everything was great, the organisation, the ceremonies, the medicines, the breath-work, the integration, the depth of the emotional work, the music and the accomodation. There were moments of grief, pain and rage and there was also a lot of laughter. We formed a fantastic tribe over the days that we were together and I look forward to the on-going group support. "

"This retreat was out of this world! I had many expectations about my first medicine retreat, and Ayayni completely exceeded them. The ceremonies were so harmonious, with the live guitar and percussion throughout the night and into the early hours. The medicine was deep and challenging, and yet at other times nurturing. I discovered the depths of my soul during those ceremonies, and I will be eternally grateful for Olimpia's voice, which guided me through. The integration sessions were beyond what I imagined they would be, as Jo's intuition hit the nail on the head every time and with every participant. Uncovering so much of my hidden truth in one retreat was not what I had expected, and I know that I will be able to use these insights for years to come. I highly recommend this experience."

"I enjoyed my time with the Shamanzon family. The facilitators were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in what they needed to do to support everyone. The accommodation is excellent; a beautiful, clean and comfortable house in a wonderful location with breathtaking views 😍 Delicious food, lovingly prepared, we were well fed! This was not my first time taking Ayahuasca, but it was my first time experiencing it in mainly silence, which I found quite difficult but I plan to return and attend another retreat with the Shamanzon family. Thank you all! Purple 💜 🇯🇲 ♉"

"My psilocybin journey was a deeply transformative voyage into the depths of my psyche, where I confronted aspects of myself that had long been hidden beneath the surface. As ego boundaries dissolved, I gained profound insights into my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, laying the foundation for profound personal growth and introspection. The guidance and support provided by Suzanne, Marion, James, and Sebastian were instrumental in guiding me through the labyrinth of the psychedelic experience. Their expertise and empathy created a nurturing environment in which I felt empowered to explore the recesses of my mind without fear or judgment. Whether offering gentle reassurance or profound insights, they demonstrated a deep understanding of the transformative power of psilocybin. The surroundings in which my journey unfolded were nothing short of breathtaking. Surrounded by the serene beauty of the outside area and the cozy comforts of the indoor setting, every detail was meticulously curated to enhance the overall experience. Above all, Suzanne, Marion, James, and Sebastian created an atmosphere of safety and trust that allowed me to fully surrender to the psychedelic experience. Their unwavering presence and compassionate care ensured that I felt supported and protected throughout the journey, enabling me to navigate the depths of my subconscious with courage and resilience. In conclusion, my psilocybin journey was a profound odyssey of self-exploration and transformation, made possible by the exceptional guidance of Suzanne, Marion, James, and Sebastian, and the awe-inspiring surroundings that enveloped me. Through their collective efforts, they created a safe and nurturing space in which I could embark on a journey of inner discovery, emerging with newfound insights, clarity, and lightness."

"I participated in their 3 night retreat and was very happy to be called to that place and those people. The communication was easy and straightforward before, during and after the retreat, also many languages were spoken - so that gave it an easy start. My accommodation was in a single room because I prefer privacy - it was nice, clean, cosy and comfortable. As a matter of fact all the facilities are so much better in real life than on the photos here! The food was plentiful and nutritious, the hosts and facilitators were caring all the time. For me it was very important to have authentic shamans while doing the medicine, so having Taita Josè Antonio and Mamita Yolimar conduct the ceremonies and being available for discussion only made the experience more valuable and profound. I shall definitely return and can only recommend Shamanzon, because here one can combine authenticity, deep healing and value for money. Thank you 🙏🏻"

"We didn't talk with words with Mamita Yolimar Loreto Robles but we did that in a telepathic way and I am so glad of the experience and conclusions which came to me during the ceremony. I loved her singing and talking about the blessings we have and how important is to be aware of this. Listen to your inner divine self and do as you feel, because the medicine will give you all you need and not what you want ❤️❤️❤️"

"I took the medicine for the first time with Taita Jose and I am so glad for this choice, the medicine was so nice to me and I had a very inspirational experience. I would advise for the first time not to make any expectations, just let yourself free and flow. An important aspect I would like to share is to follow all the recommendations and restrictions before and during the ceremony. Listen to your inner divine self and do as you feel, because the medicine will give you all you need and not what you want ❤️❤️❤️ I left with a very god advice from Taita which I am trying to apply in my daily life: do everything with passion and nothing with obligation. "

"If you are looking for a retreat, and you arrived on this site and you read this, this is for a reason. I took the medicine for the first time with Shamanzon and I am so glad I trusted to them this experience. They gave me the sufficient amount of details and information I needed before the ceremony, during and even after, I feel free to contact them with questions because the ceremony is just the starting of a new page of your new life book. There are no wrong or correct questions so do not hesitate to address all of them. I would advise for the first time not to make any expectations, just let yourself free and flow. The most important aspect is that Shamanzon brings the real and authentic shamans on their retreats and they do a good translation during the ceremony. I will definitely join again when Taita José Antonio Jansasoy and Mamita Yolimar Loreto Robles will come again to Shamanzon and I want to go there with my mother ❤️ An important aspect I would like to share is to follow all the recommendations and restrictions before and during the ceremony, this will help you to have a pleasant ceremony and less adverse events, this I am telling you as a pharmacist ☺️ I followed all the recommendations and even more, I stopped the alcohol about 5 months before, no smoking for 3 years, no coffee, no meet few days before the ceremony and in the morning I had my bin clean. Listen to your inner divine self and do as you feel, because the medicine will give you all you need and not what you want ❤️❤️❤️"

"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 represent love"

"One word magical "

"My retreat with Marion & Suzanne was my first experience with psychedelics and it was a complete eye-opener. They helped me throughout the process, preparing it, having the right intention, losing the fear before going. We were super spoiled as a group and we really enjoyed it. I strongly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore oneself deeper or wanting to get introduced to the world of psilocybin. "

"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."

"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. "

"To heal and be healed. Thank you Maestro for sharing the powerful sacred medicine from the Amazon, it's mysteries, secrets and teachings. Thank you for your faith in the brotherhood and ancestral wisdom. As always, there is more work to be done on the path of self-mastery. Until next time..."

"My wife and I just got back from retreat organised by Shamanzon. Great experience, very authentic and true dedicated shaman and facilitators. The value is 100% worth the investment. Awesome support and organisation. Keep on a good job guys!"

"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! "

"First experience with magic mushrooms and honestly I could not have been better. The villa was surreal, intimate setting, the food tasty and nourishing, the organizers highly professional and dedicated to enabling people to learn more about themselves. All of this with perfect set and setting. Thank you for the beautiful and unforgetful experience. Thank you, M "

"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..."

"I spent a few days on this retreat that will remain one of the most memorable moments of my life. I finally rediscovered a feeling of calm, relaxation and peace that lasted several weeks. The ceremony had been well prepared beforehand, both mentally and physically, and the landing was also very smooth. I was able to spend those few hours out of time in my own bubble, and enjoy a gentle, comforting experience. A very enriching experience. Apart from that, I loved : - the 3 therapists. They're all different and complementary. Each one knows her part, and will do everything to make your stay perfect. They create a secure, caring environment. - the location: simply magnificent, elegant yet comfortable and warm, what a gift to be welcomed here. - the food: nutrient-dense, delicious, varied, prepared with love. - the setting: everyone's limits are verbalized, and are very clear, which is great fun and makes everything healthier. - the group size: there were only 6 of us and 3 accompanying adults. I recommend it 100%, whether it's your first experience or not."

"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 "
