Sound
Of our ceremony
Icaros are sacred songs that Amazonian healers learn directly from Teacher-Plants, while practicing dietas in the Rainforest. These songs are the tool to connect participants with Amazonian Spirits and its energies.
Here at APL we host ceremonies with a deep respect to the traditional knowledge.
Your experiences will be orchestrated by Master Shamans singing their sacred Icaros at our Ayahuasca retreats in Spain, Ecuador & Peru.

QUESTIONS
QUESTIONS
Ayahuasca is not classified as an illegal substance in Spain. This allows individuals and closed groups to partake in its consumption, whether for personal or spiritual exploration, following local regulations in a responsible and respectful manner.
In Spain, a number of court rulings have established that Ayahuasca is not subject to international control, nor is it regulated by the Spanish state.
However, it is important to be aware that countries such as the United Kingdom, Israel, France and many others have imposed strict regulations on the use of ayahuasca, rendering it illegal in those jurisdictions.

Ayahuasca ceremonies are profound experiences that involve a potent brew affecting the body and mind significantly. However, they aren't suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with specific health issues. Here's a brief overview of conditions that may prevent participation in our Ayahuasca retreats in Spain:
- Psychotic Disorders
- Severe Personality or Dissociative Disorders
- Certain Medications
- Recreational Drugs
- Heart or Circulatory Problems
- Seizure Disorders
- Liver Conditions
- Organ removal or transplantation procedures
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding
- Other Health Issues: Conditions like brain injuries, kidney disease, serious mental health challenges, or weakened immune systems can complicate participation.
- Supplements: Some supplements and herbs might interact negatively with Ayahuasca; a consultation with our team is advised.
- Age Restrictions: We typically recommend participants to be over 21 due to developmental considerations.
At our center, we are solely focused on Ayahuasca ceremonies, operating within a licensed, respectful, and responsible environment.
While Ayahuasca offers a unique pathway for spiritual healing and self-exploration, we do not incorporate other entheogens such as Buffo Alvarius (which contains 5-MeO-DMT), San Pedro, Yopo (which contains DMT), or Magic Mushrooms into our retreats.
The reason behind this is the potential for physical and spiritual side effects when combining these powerful substances, which can lead to confusion and psychotic breaks. It's crucial to approach each plant medicine with the respect and dedication it deserves, allowing for a deep and meaningful connection. Therefore, we commit our time and space exclusively to Ayahuasca to ensure a focused and transformative experience.

Our ceremonies are guided only by one of our Peruvian Curanderos with the assistance of 3-4 facilitators and an integration specialist.
Our respect for each Onanya (master shaman) is profound, acknowledging their extensive lifelong training in the rainforest to become adept with teacher-plants like Ayahuasca.
The rainforest lifestyle presents its challenges, with various unforeseen circumstances that could prevent a Onanya (master shaman) from traveling. Therefore, we disclose the designated Onanya (master shaman's) name 2-3 weeks before the retreat begins, keeping in mind that changes may occur unexpectedly

Our rituals are led by traditional Peruvian healers, curanderos, who adhere to the ancestral practices of engaging with master plants. Our ceremonies maintain a disciplined atmosphere, focusing on fostering a personal and uninterrupted bond with Ayahuasca.
Throughout the entire ceremony, the shaman will guide your journey, employing Icaros (holy chants) without incorporating non-traditional musical instruments. To preserve the sanctity of the experience, we ask participants to refrain from speaking to one another or engaging in physical contact during the ritual.
This respectful and traditional method ensures that each attendee can forge a distinct connection with Ayahuasca, allowing for profound self-reflection.

No, we currently do not host retreats outside of Andalusia. This decision is based on the unique climate of the region and our specific registration for conducting Ayahuasca ceremonies in Andalusia. Despite the beauty and appeal of other Spanish locations like Alicante, Mallorca, and Madrid (spanien), our activities are concentrated in Andalusia to take advantage of the area's distinct environmental conditions.
Broaden Your Reality With Master-Plants
Brunfelsia grandiflora/Chiric Sanango
One of the most well known and respected teachers in Amazonia. The Spirit of this plant looks like an old man that can share a lot of secrets.
Chiric contains Scopolamine and should be used for Dietas, but without Ayahuasca.
