Our Ayahuasca retreats take place at a private retreat centre located approximately one and a half hours from Barcelona. The location is immersed in nature and designed to provide privacy, safety, and an ideal setting for deep inner work, while remaining easily accessible to international travellers.

Yes. Avalon regularly welcomes participants from the UK, Europe and other parts of the world. The retreat location is easily accessible via Barcelona airport, and our team supports international guests throughout the preparation process.

All ceremonies, guidance, and integration support are offered in English to ensure clear communication and a safe, inclusive experience for participants from diverse cultural backgrounds.

The number of Ayahuasca ceremonies varies depending on the retreat format. The 6-day Ayahuasca retreat in Spain includes four ceremonies, allowing participants to gradually deepen their connection with the medicine while still having time for rest, reflection, and integration. The 4-day retreat includes three ceremonies within a more compact schedule. 

We are also introducing a new 3-day retreat format that includes two Ayahuasca ceremonies, designed for those with previous experience or limited time who still wish to engage meaningfully with the experience.

At Avalon’s Ayahuasca retreats, participants are supported throughout the entire process. This includes a pre-retreat consultation, continuous guidance during ceremonies, daily integration practices, post-retreat follow-ups to support long-term integration, and ongoing access to monthly online communityintegration circles.

No prior experience is required. Our Ayahuasca retreats are designed to support both first-time participants and those with previous experience. The structured retreat format ensures that each person is guided at an appropriate pace.

We typically host around 25 participants per retreat, with smaller groups of approximately 17 during the summer months. Retreats maintain a very high facilitator-to-guest ratio, with a team of 20–25 experienced staff members, ensuring close personal support, safety, and attentive guidance throughout the ceremonies, while still fostering a grounded and well-held group environment.

Participants are guided through a preparation process that includes dietary recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and mental preparation. This preparation helps ensure safety and supports a deeper and more meaningful experience during the retreat.
