What Our Participatns Say
"Hi Claire I am still dazed trying to process everything but I know it has been the best thing I have ever done,really changed my view of the world I feel very blessed could not have asked for a better group of people to have experienced this with thanks to every single person who was there as they all had a big part in my experience I love yous all!."
- Darren
"Honestly I can't even find the words to express my gratitude to the medicine and amazing team. All I can say is, hands down the best thing I have ever done. No amount of counselling or antidepressants can heal you the way Mother Ayahuasca can. I am deeply connected to the source, nature, animals and my gratitude for this earth has completely soared. I have been able to forgive people who have abused me, to the point where I feel I could actually say hello to them. I know my path and have recognised how I used to torment myself. Never again. She has shown me the way. Thank you to the magnificent team and most wonderful soul tribe. I have made friends for life and will forever owe my gratitude to the team and Aya for making this possible for me. I can finally live the way I have always wanted to. Healthy, unmedicated and connected to Source and higher consciousness."

"I just want to extend my deepest gratitude to you and the team for an amazingly beautiful, insightful, blessed retreat. From start to finish. I can't put into words how wonderful the whole experience was. It truly has to be lived to comprehend. I have taken it and wrapped it in my heart where it will be forever cherished. To all of you, thank you so so much. What you have given to me has healed not only pieces of me but those who came before me, those who are with me now and those who will come after me. Lots of love to you all. I look forward to seeing you all again!"

"My experience with Yagéwaska has been life-changing. The love, care, energy, and insight of the whole team is pure healing. I have sat with the medicine under their guidance and joyful care many times now and would recommend anyone to step on this beautiful path with them. I fully trust and love them to bits for doing this mind-blowing (literally) healing work so wholeheartedly, and simply for being themselves. I have shared tons of hilarious moments with them - it’s amazing how healing the deepest personal and ancestral wounds, layer by layer, ceremony after ceremony, can be so much fun if done with the right people, in the right setting, and with the right mind-set! So much gratitude and love to yous all, and to Madre Ayahuasca."

"2 weeks after retreat and I can honestly say I think the medicine has saved my life ! Big words I know but every day I am grateful for everything around me , I am happy , feel at peace and the inside pain I carried for 50 years has gone . I’m forever grateful to you all. My personal relationships are so much better and I’m so much calmer . I’m not saying every day is pink and fluffy (well it is most of the day lol ) but I feel I have the strength to consider and work calmly on things that show up . I am dancing through life and feel eternally grateful for life. Thank you!"

"This time it was my second retreat with yagewaska. I had two retreats in a row and I was there because I had depression and anxiety and normal therapy and medications couldn't help me anymore. This time it was very intense for me. But the team helped me so much. I felt so much love and healing from them. I am so happy that I found them and they feel like my spiritual family already. Nothing has ever helped me so much like the medicine and these people. I was very hopeless about myself and my life, but I don't feel that way anymore, I feel more secure and happy now. The medicine is showing you how loved and powerful you are and with this strength you start caring and working for yourself in a very positive and healing way and that was what I needed."
- Melda
"Second retreat back at Yagewaska this year because the first was so good, I wanted to come back! There is no other place - you are in the safest place to surrender to the sacred medicine of Ayahuasca. The feeling of love, warmth and safety that is provided by Claire and her team cannot be compared to other retreats that I have attended. This is why I have returned back. A week post retreat and I’m feeling all the benefits of the beautiful medicine!"
- Lorraine
"What a journey this has been. Wow.It's hard to describe but the words that come to me are: profound, incredible, extremely hard, exhausting, healing, beautiful, eye-opening, loving. I got so many "downloads" and I have learned so much. It felt like I shedded many old layers then rebuilt myself.Thank you so much to the whole team for holding space and making this amazing experience and for holding space in such a warm and caring way."
- Maria
"I don't even know where to begin or how to sum up my experience... the transformation has already been amazing after just one week. I have loads of energy and feel more creative and inspired...I'm still processing everything and would like to go back again in the future to go a little bit deeper, now I know what to expect. The team are just incredible; they make you feel part of the family and safe. I'm so grateful for every part of the experience.I was very nervous and hesitant before I went and even after the first night thinking I can't do this again, over the next day or so it started to make a lot of sense and I really got to enjoy my last ceremony there was no fear. I really trusted the medicine which helped a lot.Thank you so much to everyone there who made the experience even more wonderful!"
- Victoria
"I´m still processing all the things that I learned about myself and how I want to move forward In life! So much love & respect for all the team that facilitate this powerful medicine! I have no more pain in my body, no more IBS symptoms! Anxiety/depression is gone and I have an amazing blueprint on what I now want to do moving forward! Some massive gratitude to this medicine and to all the team!"
- Michelle
"I'm not sure where to start. The team at Yagéwaska were outstanding from start to finish. It was important to me to find a place where I felt safe for my first experience drinking the medicine. Each member of the team is incredible individually. But put them together and they are the dream team. They took such good care of every single one of us. I'm calling them Earth Angels I'm already itching to go back, can't wait until the dates are released. Thank you doesn't begin to cover it!!What a life changing two weeks it has been. Two Ayahuasca retreats back to back.Pushed my physical body to its absolute limits, expanded my spiritual mind and detoxed countless negative emotional storage.Surrounded by love, safety and support made me absolutely thrive to my best self. This is just the beginning and already my life feel very wholesome and blissful.Just simply beautiful to be surrounded by divine masculinity and powerful divine feminine energy. I am reborn."

"I've suffered from fibromyalgia for 5 years and the chronic pain from a car crash which makes me feel fatigue, brain fog, chronic pins and needles, sleeplessness because of the pain, burning sensations, tender to touch. Straight after the retreat I could feel that 50% of my condition had been healed. The fatigue that I've suffered with for 5 years is gone. I'm ecstatic, I'm buzzing! This feeling is running through every cell in my body. I'm happy, I'm content, I'm just over the moon, I can't wait to drink with you all in Colombia to finish this once and for all. I feel totally rebirthed, I feel different. I'm speaking differently to my daughters and they're responding differently to me. I have so much love for humanity, for other people. I feel so happy and grateful and I can't wait for the next few months to see what else happens. This for me is priceless, there's no amount of money in the world that would make me feel like this, I feel euphoria running through my body. I feel like a totally different person, I feel like I can trust myself, I'm able to stand up for myself. I just want to thank Yagéwaska for the calling that they had and the work they do. I'm doing really well and I'm so happy."
- Michelle
"I've drank Ayahuasca on various retreats before the medicine came calling once again, and there was no doubt in my mind that the right place for me this time was Yagéwaska! A medicine so sacred and powerful for removing the issues from your tissues. There was so much support, compassion, love and kindness provided to me from Claire and her team from the moment I first made contact. Would I go back to Yagewaska again over all other retreats? Absolutely! There is no other retreat that can compare to what I’ve experienced over these last few days at Yagewaska - such a life changing experience. To be surrounded by the most incredible loving group of soul family. I feel so blessed."
- Lorraine
"All I can say is WOW. After years of struggling with my mental health and having a very traumatic 10 years, I never thought I’d feel this light. It’s like my heart, soul and minds been completely rewired and it’s all thanks to Yagéwaska and the beautiful people who live and work there. The experience was the best weekend of my life and I feel like a brand new person. I can’t thank you all enough for the gift you have given me. I’m back home now more ready to take on life than ever before. I feel like I’ve been reborn. The medicine has thought me more in the last 6 days then I’ve learned in the last 6 years doing therapy. Thank you all and I loved yous and all the group I was with so much. Feel like I finally found my place in this world and more importantly, in myself. An experience everyone and anyone could benefit from. I love you all!"
- Shanene
"I can honestly say that I feel like an absolute new person since my last ayahuasca journey. My brain has been rewired, reconnected and I’ve never felt so much love and happiness. I am vibrating at a different frequency and the gratitude I have for life is abundant. The team are just next level. They’re always there when you need them they make you feel safe and they sing like absolute angels. I couldn't recommend everything about this retreat enough. Thank you from the depths of my soul"
- Lucy
"I have just come back from the most amazing experience in my life, the healing and happiness I got from the retreat with the support of the amazing team...is second to none. This was my second time, and it didn't disappoint. I truly feel very grateful for everything I got and received. I had been in a really dark place feeling lost, having lost a lot of loved ones and having no joy or happiness, now I feel at peace, I have been able to grieve, and am smiling. I have so much to be grateful for. I am already planning my next visit. X"
- Kam
"I have just returned from retreat and it is quite difficult to put into words the life changing experience I have just had. Claire and the team were incredible from start to finish - all were very supportive and the aftercare was second to none. I truly feel I have made friends for life and would not think twice about booking again. I will be sure to return in the near future! "
- Michael
"This experience has truly changed me. I had felt drawn to this team to do the medicine for a long time. I’m so proud I followed my instinct. It has turned out to be the most rewarding experience, an experience that has truly woken me up. The support and care was there every step of the way, and the experience is something I will never forget, the work for me now is integrating all I have learned. I am forever grateful and I will return again."
- William
"I wanted to send a heartfelt thanks for an amazing retreat. This was my fourth time on retreat (first time with Yagewaska) and what yourself and the team offer is by far the most professional, caring and loving experience I've had to date. You go above and beyond for those coming to sit with you. It was like nothing I've experienced so far, the attention to detail, the well planned schedule, the effort put in by the team, it all really blew me away. I will absolutely be back as the standard is so high now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to yourself and the team for making me feel so welcome and for guiding me through a life changing experience. For anyone thinking of going, book it! I was nervous going on my own but it was the best decision I made for myself and felt right at home once we arrived on location! It will not disappoint."
- Sinead
"I can’t thank the team at Yagéwaska enough, I am eternally grateful for the work they do. I felt deeply held and supported through my entire experience. A weight has been lifted from my mind, body and soul. I feel such a deep connection to myself, others around me, nature and the universe. I went to places within myself that I wasn’t aware existed and I experienced feelings which I always considered as off limits for me. A light is growing inside which before was almost extinguished and I know it will continue to grow with their spirits surrounding me everyday. I approach each day with inspiration and hope so I can further connect to myself and our beautiful universe. I have found an eternal family. I love you all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
