This is my personal experience with LaWayra Ayahuasca Retreat in Colombia. This is by no means a comprehensive review or analysis; it is just a free-flowing recollection of thoughts and emotions I experienced before, during, and after the retreat. This was recorded only two weeks after my last ceremony on May 19th 2024, so it's not nearly as insightful or organized as it could be. I mostly wanted to document my current state of mind; I wanted to try to visually and auditorily capture this kind of deeper emotional buzz/connection...

I mostly wanted to document my current state of mind; I wanted to try to visually and auditorily capture this kind of deeper emotional buzz/connection that I cannot confidently express through words alone.
This is not an incentivized or paid review; I am not affiliated with LaWayra in any way aside from being a recent patient/client. I just wanted to share my experience to help me contextualize and integrate some of these experiences, and hopefully to help others understand Ayahuasca and its incredible healing potential.

Short Review:
I have suffered from deep emotional trauma and depression since childhood. I was living a miserable life well into adulthood, and I had pushed away many of my friends and loved ones as a result of my inability to cope. I was initially skeptical of ayahuasca's use as medicine, but I had reached a point of desperation where no combination of talk therapy, pharmaceutical treatment, or other alternative intervention seemed to have any lasting effect on my fundamental outlooks on life, love, spirituality, and family.
I came to LaWayra in need of great help, and I received it plus so much more. The staff are extremely professional, kind, caring, patient, and attentive to all of your needs. The environment is beautiful, peaceful, safe, and natural. The food is delicious and nourishing. I was able to share many incredible moments with people from all over the world.
I had never been able to fully trust myself or others as a result of my trauma, but by the end of my week-long retreat at LaWayra, I had achieved a deep sense of trust in myself, my peers, and my community. I was able to finally let go of the bitterness, anger, and resentment that had burdened me for so long. I have never cried so hard or laughed so much. I have never felt so free.
If you are looking for deep healing that is relatively affordable, please strongly consider coming to Lawayra. You will not regret it. Thank you so much to everyone at LaWayra; I am eternally grateful.
