The two weeks that I spent at Spirit Vine on an ayahuasca and spiritual retreat have been the best of my life to date. Each day was its own adventure. The ceremony day starts with a powerful yoga session and the most delicious breakfast spread.
You can go relax and explore the beautiful lands of the retreat or take a swim in the natural pond. Then there’s a light lunch followed by some creative session that helps you explore your inner-self.
Finally you take some rest in your comfortable bungalow to prepare for the most adventurous, exciting, crazy journey of your life.
The ceremony room is very well made and comfortable, the only thing keeping you away from the amazing natural surroundings is a net to protect you from the insects (if you ask then you can even visit a beautiful secret garden where you can lie down and feel mother earth and hug trees and talk to the plants during your journey).
Once your ayahuasca journey begins, you feel so connected to nature, and you’re able to hear all the sounds from the leaves rustling to critters chirping because of the great way the ceremony room has been made and located to feel as if you are outside, yet, because of the net–you won’t have the hassle from the bugs.
The journeys themselves are guided by what I think is the best music ever. Silvia has a great ear for picking music that takes you on a journey so deep that you never want to come out of it.
At dawn when you finally leave the ceremony room, you can either go to sleep, or just sit by the pond and ponder over your journey and the beauty of life, nature and everything around you.
Shortly after you’ll be served a magnificent breakfast (which you’ll be craving having not eaten since the previous afternoon) and then you are free to relax or express your journey using art (painting/drawing/coloring).
The afternoons have lunch and a sharing session where everyone discusses their journeys and you learn from your group’s insights. Then dinner and sleep and some really vivid dreams.
The whole 8/9 “earth days” that you’re there feel like ONE EXTREMELY LONG DAY, a day that will completely change your life in the most beautiful way possible with the most loving, joyous and peaceful people you will ever meet. Right from the time you arrive to the time you’re sadly bidding everyone goodbye, you can be rest assured that everyone there will take great care of you and help you through the best experience of your life.
If Mother Aya calls you, coming to Spirit Vine would be one of the best decisions of your life.
