"The integration space Jo holds is incredibly powerful. She challenged me to go deeper and deeper within the medicine process of the week, exactly what I needed.
It would be a lot easier to hold a more passive sharing circle like a lot of retreats do but I feel what sets Ayayni apart is the unconditional truth that is shared by Jo and the other facilitators."

Experiences on Retreat
"There is no way to describe how humbling, loving and life changing an experience it was. From the facilitators loving energy and sharp intuitions, to the structure, group therapy and beautiful settings plus the fantastic people I met there has made for a weekend I will never forget.
The level of therapeutic work done in one weekend is nothing short of amazing. I cannot recommend it any higher."
"The most incredible voice I have ever heard. Her music to guide us through the ceremonies was incredible and on the night off she put on a concert for us, she went above and beyond the whole retreat."
"There is not a ratings system in place that would do Ayayni justice. The energy throughout the retreat was truly magical. From the moment of arrival, guests are treated with love, honesty and truth. The team are incredibly open and supportive, each bringing their own special gifts to the otherworldly proceedings. There is a deep respect and understanding amongst the facilitators for each and every process, each and every individual.
There is humor, there is sadness, there is trauma, grief, reflection and empathy. The scale of emotions experienced throughout the retreat is nothing short of spellbinding. Each emotion accepted, nurtured and facilitated by the fantastic team.
Breakfast and lunch each day is provided each day made with love (by the team) and one day we had a beautiful Paella from the restaurant down the road. Very fresh and tasty food all week. The communal meals are at a huge wooden table beside the kitchen, where conversation flows and silence is present.
The all-important integrations each morning are without doubt the best I have ever experienced. If you are open and willing to work on yourself and listen to others, Ayayni will give you a glimpse into what is achievable... if you hold the mirror up and honestly look at your reflection, and that of others.
The breath-work and fire ceremony are both invigorating and reflective, allowing each person a chance to open wide before the beginning of ceremony.
Every participant is naturally guided toward their healing path, and by the time the end arrives, there is not one who is leaving without a more intuitive understanding of their self. If you are looking for a place without judgement; a place to connect with yourself and others. If you are open to the possibility of change and the often difficult path that leads to it, I highly recommend Ayayni, a unique and extraordinary experience."
"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!

"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."
"Three days in which I received a lot of warmth, understanding and trust. The group became my family, Carla and Oliver gave their all, and the days spent with them gave me knowledge and care, and became a part of my life. Thank you!"
"😍🥰😘"
"They represent love"
"One word magical "
"After the rain experience was beond all expectations. Lovated in the forested hils with breathtaking views. The local is newly renovated with luxorious rooms and a spacious common area. But the best where our hosts Oliver and Carla who made everybody feel welcome and comfortable. Their warm and knowledgable guidance, and grate musical talents made the whole ecperience as unforgetable as possible!
Many thanks!"
"Thank you Carla and Oliver for being at the initiative of this retreat. You have created the perfect place for people to feel like home and enjoy the power of magical mushrooms. The organization was really flexible and adapted to the group. I really had a wonderful time, thank you again. "

"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!"
