Holistic Integration program
This traditional shamanic practice uses the secretion of the giant green monkey tree frog from the Amazon to bring about a deep physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual cleansing process. Kambó purifies, detoxifies, and reboots the immune system and improves stamina.
A powerful practice combining accelerated breathing with evocative music in a unique set and setting to enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness. This state activates the natural inner healing process of the individual’s psyche.
A deep relaxation experience created through dance, massage, meditation, and stretches, all in one movement, flowing through the power of water. Allows emotional blockages and body tension to be released. A blissful state of no mind, no gravity, silence, movement, and emotions.
A form of psychotherapy that uses relaxation, extreme concentration, and intense attention to achieve a heightened state of consciousness or trance. Is used to treat phobias, addictions, sleep disorders, relationship-family-work conflicts or cessation of smoking.
A bodywork technique designed to integrate your plant medicine experience and prepare your body, mind, and spirit. It combines the best of osteopathy, quiromassage, and energy healing (Reiki). It allows a deep release of tensions and enhances openness and receptivity.
One-on-one sessions allowing a deep dive into specific issues, patterns, and intentions of the participant, as well as designing an action plan. The intimate environment enhances the openness and depth.
Explore, understand and improve the color, frequency, personality and intensity of your Aura and your Chakra states. Be aware of the dynamics that live in your unconscious and free yourself from behaviours such as fear, anger, conflicts, scarcity and destructive emotions.
Group therapy, guided by a trained psychologist, combining diverse methods, such as sharing circles, writing, art therapy and ecstatic dance. Spontaneous creative expression brings about a greater understanding of the experience.
This dried tobacco and tree ashes powder comes from indigenous tribes in the Amazon jungle. It is known for clearing the mind and cleansing the body and energy field —deepening the connection with the Ayahuasca plant.
Space of freedom, creativity, and awareness, in which you can express yourself through the body and dance with a common thread: the music. The headphones help you live a totally immersive experience without goals and structures, only improvisation.
Suitable for all levels, it is a practice that helps one to reconnect with the body and the breath —essential companions in our lives. It also helps to release accumulated tension after many hours of ceremonies and feel refreshed.
Inner Dance uses music and sound to take a person deeply into themselves. It is a powerful process of release, surrender, trust, and renewal—a sound and alchemical journey to free yourself and activate your creative life force.
All meals are prepared fresh daily from high-quality sources in an Ayahuasca-friendly manner. Meals are combined with food awareness workshops to reconnect with how we eat and bring change into our lifestyles.
An energetic one-on-one therapy facilitating the release of electromagnetic charge of limiting thoughts, attitudes, decisions and beliefs. The Bars therapist touches 32 unique points on the head that correlate to different aspects of life.
Combines Hypnosis, NLP, PEMF (electron machine) and Essential Oils to balance body energy points: chakras, Pineal Gland, Third Eye and hormonal functions. Improves circulation, energy, sleep quality, blood pressure, balances the immune system and reduces inflammation.
A guided session, that is an entry point towards focusing your awareness and entering a mentally clear and emotionally stable state. A wonderful tool to bring back into the daily routines after the retreat.
A traditional sweat-lodge that cleanses and heals the body and the mind. The steam activates the sweating, causing the elimination of heavy metals and toxic agents that deteriorate the body, which is why the skin is recognised as the "third kidney".
Practice that uses harmonic frequencies, creating a deeply relaxing energy field in which time is suspended and body and mind rests on sound: hang, gongs, pyramid and quartz bowls, ocean and shaman drum, flutes, voice.
An open-heart sharing circle, grouped based on gender. Creates a safe space to open up, cry, feel understood and release gender-specific trauma and pain—an opportunity to re-discover a healthy expression of Masculine and Feminine.

8 Frequently Asked Questions about AVALON'S Ayahuasca RETREATS IN EUROPE
Is Ayahuasca Safe?
For healthy individuals, Ayahuasca is quite safe when supervised by an experienced shaman. At Avalon, your safety is their primary priority. Effects can include panic, paranoia, vomiting, and diarrhea. While these side effects can be distressing, they will pass and are part of a process of healing.
What is an Ayahuasca shaman and why are they necessary?
A shaman is a guide and one who protects during ceremonial use of sacred plant medicines. He/she is able to stay in constant communication with the Plant Spirits and nature, sees energies and influences a person’s aura and group collective energies, directs and steers the ceremony to maximize healing.
Is Ayahuasca Legal?
Ayahuasca is not forbidden to use in Spain, if it is taken for personal use, religious purposes, or in ceremonies of a private non-profit organization. In many other countries, the use of Ayahuasca is prohibited; for example, Great Britain, Israel, France, and Russia. This is why it is an excellent choice when looking for ayahuasca retreats in Europe.
Is Ayahuasca a drug?
Ayahuasca is a divine medicine, a sacrament, but not a drug. It is not addictive, and you’ll never need to increase the dose to repeat a similar experience. However, every experience is different, as it puts your consciousness to work. You won’t feel hangovers.
What is the Ayahuasca diet? What food can I eat/not eat?
It is the recommended foodstuffs that you should eat prior to a ceremony. Foods that you can eat include fruit & veg; whilst foods you should’nt eat include red meat, alcohol and others. When dieting, the presence of Ayahuasca can be felt in your body for a few weeks after the ceremony. Check out the ayahuasca diet list, here.
Do you have any volunteer opportunities?
Yes, in each retreat we have a few volunteer places for people aligned with the purpose of serving, who have experience working in f&b as well as with sacred medicines and are fluent in English. The request can be made via info@weareavalon.love
Can I book an Ayahuasca retreat for a date that has not specified in Avalon's Events?
All our plant medicine events are held on specific dates and are all shown in our events pages. However, if you want us to create a bespoke retreat for you, please take a look at our private retreats page and suggest the dates you would like us to create a retreat that is taylor made for you.
What is Ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca is a sacred medicine plant that offers deep inner healing and self-realization. The drink itself is composed of two plants: Banisteriopsis Caapi and Psychotria Viridis or Chagropanga. They work together to open people to new perspectives of self and life on this planet.
