I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to El Mundo Magico and all the amazing people at Ashi Meraya for facilitating one of the most significant experiences of my life. My initial exposure to Ayahuasca can most honestly be summed up as both the single most terrifying and the single most fascinating and revelatory experience I have ever undergone.

Besides the Ayahuasca medicine itself, perhaps one of the most healing aspects of the experience was the hospitality and care of the wonderful people of Ashi Meraya, who were absolutely outstanding and showed me as much warmth and kindness as I’ve ever known. They were without doubt some of the most beautiful and genuine people I’ve ever met, who radiated caring and support. For that alone I will be forever grateful and will always remember each one of them. The beauty and tranquility of the natural jungle setting at Ashi Meraya also contributed substantially to the peaceful and grounded feeling I was infused with during my stay. And one of the most surprising aspects of the retreat was the amazing food, some of the very best I’ve ever had!

To anyone seriously considering the Ayahuasca retreat, I can advise that it is not one to be taken lightly, that it can be both one of the most difficult as well as one of the most rewarding and valuable experiences one could ever participate in. And I recommend the professionalism of El Mundo Magico and the sanctity of Ashi Meraya wholeheartedly as a safe and supportive place to experience it. I very much look forward to returning soon to continue to learn and heal.
