"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."
"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 🤗"
"APL are very professional. The team are all amazing people and they made me feel very supported, cared for and safe.

"I have previously experienced Ayahuasca in different settings and must say that this one was hands down, the best.
Such a warm welcome from the people and a loving house in the most beautiful nature.
There was no rush. There was plenty of time to arrive, to settle and to explore. Zero pressure.
I have felt so much love coming from the facilitators. Not only towards the medicine, but towards the act of service and fostering a safe and secure space where everyone feels relaxed and able to express their true authentic self.
There was no pretentiousness. It was a very loving experience that nurtures healing and rest.
It is truly the perfect setting for everyone who is looking for healing and transformation.
For me, it was the first time experiencing a Shipibo Shaman. My wildest imaginations were blown! José did truly an amazing job. There was so much wisdom and healing coming from him.
I am deeply touched and grateful to have experienced this in this lifetime.
Everyone who feels the call or curiosity to join this place, please do.
In comparison to other retreats that I have been to, this one has been the best (by far!).
I can highly and truly recommend it."

"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. "
"From the moment of enquiry, I felt safe and welcomed by Dominika and Anton - nothing was too much to ask and no question was too small. Dominika kindly arranged transfers from the airport to our accommodation and everything was really smooth, I felt safe and in good hands every step of the way. Onto the retreat… WOW I have been researching Psyolcibin retreats for years and I think I found the perfect one, it’s completely private, in a nest of nature with the most peaceful sounding stream nearby. Dominka and Anton opened up their home to me and gave me the biggest homely welcome I could ask for. I was at ease the entire time - Anton prepared some food and we then went for a walk around the land, which is just so gorgeous - it felt as if we were in a movie, it felt fantastical even. Out of this world. We walked and talked and got to know eachother in preparation for the ceremony in the beautiful dome Dominika and Anton have built - it was the end of December yet it was so warm due to the fireplace, it was perfect. Dominika guided me through the ceremony and Ive never had a more spiritual moment in my life, its changed me forever, Ive seen things and been told things from my childhood, ancestors and future that I will never forget. I processed so much and was able to see the world and the universe with brand new eyes - not to mention seeing the night sky like I have never before. Out of this world. It was carthartic, joyous, revealing.. a paradigm shift. I feel so very lucky to have found Astreaflora, it could have been more perfect. I am in love with life and all it has to offer, and feel I have new friends in Dominika Anton Rinat and Little Zarya - not to mention the dogs, cats and chicken! I could not be more grateful to you all. I will be back for sure when the medicine calls me. With all my gratitude, love and light. Ryan 🤍"
"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! "
"Es war einer der schönsten abende die ich erfahren durfte 🕉️❤️🔥"
"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."
"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! "
"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..."
"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 "
"An all encompasing wonderful experiene due to the care put into the ceremony, the music, the guiding instructions and all the prompts to get us engaged, as individuals and comunity. "
"My initial experience with magic mushrooms at the age of 54 was truly remarkable, largely owing to Dominika. She created a nurturing and secure environment throughout the entire journey, demonstrating exceptional kindness and care. I can't emphasize enough how much I would recommend her, and I'm eagerly looking forward to returning for another experience in the near future."
"Have done 7 retreats of Ayahuasca and this was the mother of the pachamama retreats. Beautiful people , sage and wise shamans , helped take me through one of the most ultimate breakthroughs I could imagine. Finally released tremendous trauma permanently , dissolved triggers and recognised I have nothing more to prove to the world and myself as well as absolved myself of all sins."
"Luca and Elisa are very experienced healers, shamans, and guides. He had experience with ceremonies from different traditions. He is knowledgeable of a wide variety of plant medicines and customized based on your personal needs. They have gathered healing techniques from various traditions for a most holistic spiritual experience. Luca and Elisa both emanate brilliant aura and energy around them, and will help you through the process with great support and strength.

"Sonqo Wasi with Luca & Elisa (4-day sessions: 10/8/2023 - 10/11/2023)
I came here in need of critical spiritual illness that had manifested into physical illness. It's not only the plant medicines, but also the people here, and the ceremonies that worked in mysterious ways. It's important to have intention setting as respect for the plant teacher as it is spiritual and not recreational medicine.
I had intense experience with the ceremony, I experienced great release of sadness, sickness, anger, and received great joy and happiness. Luca and Elisa have a repertoire of plant medicines that can customized based on your needs. Also depending on the situation, there will be offering rituals, earth therapy, sun therapy, music therapy, and more. Your spirit and soul will be enriched. Don't worry about set agenda, as I learned that in life you can't plan for everything.
Luca and Elisa and the guides/helpers here are very friendly. It's a very supportive environment to feel free to express your emotion. People express their love and kindness freely here. It's beautiful. The diet here is delicious homemade vegan meals with fruits and herbal tisane.
*Don't worry if you don't speak Italian or other languages, Luca and Elisa are both multilingual and very loving people.
*They change locations depending on the seasons, but they have flexible days to choose from."
"I had the most wonderful time and I will be returning.
I have done many remarkable and exhilarating things in my life but I have never felt this amount of vitality, peace and understanding in myself.
The incredible team lead all of their ceremonies with a beautiful amalgamation of light, joy love, and compassion. Their voices, music and presence facilitate in a learning and understanding that can only be described as medicinal magic.
Throughout the experience you have space to talk to your shaman, mentors, retreat volunteers and new found family about your discoveries and any questions that the medicine leaves you wondering.
The team value and respect each and every persons’ individual process with the medicines and are able to offer their humble understanding of the world and spirituality in a refreshing and judgement free way.
The schedule set up facilitates group bonding and team conversations; sharing your experiences from the ceremony, and general life experiences - weaving and braiding your self-discovery into one another. There is also plenty of space for journaling, self reflection, walks out in nature and catching up on plenty of rest.
Granted, it is not in the jungle. And equally, it is near a highway, yes. But I didn’t find this distracting. Their formula works remarkably well for me and so many others, and this outweighed that one set back. It’s a fantastic and accessible opportunity for those in Europe and neighbouring countries, and it was beautiful to have people from all the continents of the world connecting in one room.
There is such sense of community at the retreat. I valued so much my seven days with the team. I am leaving with an open heart that is full of joy and light and I can not wait to share it with the world.
I will miss the delightful fresh hand cooked nutritious meals, the tranquility and pressure free environment and mostly your beautiful souls. I wish I could have stayed the full 20+ days… next time!

"They are a wonderful, welcoming, and warm team of leaders. Each member of the team behaved with respect and compassion the entire time.
My one suggestion would be to get the assistance of a northern European for the organizational elements. Many questions and small problems could have been solved, and some frustration avoided, with better order and planning around logistics, such as arriving at the site and the expected rules of the weekend."
"The place is lovely and secluded, with spectacular night skies. And the people working there are the kindest. It's only unfortunate that's it's situated on the Andalucian Highway. It doesn't make for a peaceful setting of meditation and quiet conversation. There were many times we had to simply stop what we were doing because the passing trucks and motorcycles were so loud."
