Participants Comments
• Howard
described Mishana as ‘paradise’,
this was not an exaggeration. Ten out of Ten!
Mazzie S.
• Hi
Howard I had an amazing time on my retreat
every part of it was just mindblowing. Im still
on a high.Thank you for organising it . What
are the dates for next yearsplease as I am
hoping to go to Machu Pichu and other places
whilst in Peru so I can co ordinate all of
it
Bernadette R.
• I
felt it was a real privilege to just walk in
and experience the best of the best, to benefit
from the research, contacts and knowledge gained
by Howard and Peter was priceless. The trip
really could not have been better organised
- not only did it take the stress out of travelling
but the support and advice that was on offer
from them both was wonderful. There was something
that Howard said right at the start of the
trip that made me change my way of thinking
and it resulted in me using my experience to
the fullest.
• I tried to leave my expectations at home
- which it didn't live up too, but in a way it was so much more. For
me personally, I feel like the changes have been subtle - like a whisper
that is more effective than shouting. I actually learnt just as much
from the others on the trip - hearing about their experiences and lives.
It was a beautiful way to get to know someone on quite a personally level
that you would have not have otherwise meet - let alone become friends
with. It was an individual journey and an unforgettable experience ...
and one that I'm still digesting and learning from even after returning
home.

• I
am privileged to have taken part in your programme
that, as far as I know, is unique. Emphasise
the Retreat aspect - participants can choose
the extent that they interact with others and
can stay in the tambo to which their food will
be delivered. And, the companionship and support
was great. No criticisms. Lots of laughter
and relaxation. Radical emotional and spiritual
changes inaugurated. That's all.

• Life’s
been great since I got back. What a magical
time we had in the Amazon - top stuff. The
Ayahuasca ceremony for me was magical. Magic
in the way that it showed me great understanding
about myself, showed me things about my mind
and how my mind keeps me in chaos at times.
When i really relaxed and let go of my fears
the ceremonies was so deep and loving and beautiful.
Ayahuasca took me on a beautiful journey about
me. I had a fantastic journey to the jungle
i have learnt so much and i no it’s just
the beginning. I do miss the easiness of the
place, the quietness, the noises of the jungle
and I would love to do ayahuasca again.

• The
trip was fantastic. The magical noises of the
jungle and the strength of the connections
with the plants through the experience of dieting
and by being immersed in the midst of such
a diverse, rich, natural environment made this
the experience of a lifetime. I can thoroughly
recommend it to anyone.
Jenny J.
• For
me one of the highlights of the Medicine week
was Nature itself - being out in the heat in
the midst of miles of dense and staggering
beautiful greenery, listening to the nocturnal
sounds of the rainforest and the rain itself
- and at dawn sitting at the edge of the deep
flowing river, early morning mists drifting
just above the surface - if I never saw another
sight I would have died happy. Nature at its
raw best and not a car in site - now that's
paradise!
Jackie S.
• "My
Ayahuasca experience was weird and wonderful,
delightful in some ways and disappointing in
others. Expectations should definitely be left
at home for 'first-timers!' Each experience
with the 'Vine of the soul' is unique, clearly
working on different levels - revealing only
the brutal honest truth.
Peru was a fantastic experience - Friendly locals,
wonderfully hot and humid climate (if that's what you like,) daily rain
showers in the jungle, jungle treks and Noa's nightclub in Iquitos. And
then there's 'Ari’s Burger Bar' home of the tastiest natural concoctions
ever...definitely enough to take me back for more!!"
Robin C.
• I
had very high expectations about this trip.
I thought it might change my life.... and it
did. I was looking for inspiration and a new
direction, and this trip gave me that and much
more. Ayahuasca helped me to experience how
beautiful life is, to feel the wonders of being
alive and to see the love that exists between
all beings. Talking to the shamans was so fulfilling
that I felt really privileged to be able to
receive their knowledge and their love. And
all this was happening in such a beautiful
place, the jungle with its unimaginable sounds,
especially at night...., with its slow, joyful
pace! And then life with the other participants:
I have never felt so closed so quickly with
any group of people before and some have become
friends. Ah!... and breakfast in bed after
ayahuasca nights! Definitely a trip of life
time.
Lucia H.
• My
main feeling is one of gratitude..This trip
enabled a doorway to be opened for me with
grace, a quality i find very important. And
there was much else of great richness to enjoy.
The landscape the sounds, the integrity of
all of you, the skill and knowledge of the
shamans, the singing, the conversations, the
generosity of the group. I thank you for your
bravery in organizing such a trip...
Juliet S.
• For
me it was an amazing journey not only in the
magnificent rain forest but also in myself.
I have slept in tho whole jungle period in
a tambo allowed me to be as much alone as I
wanted to be. It was really nice to go to sleep
with the noise of the forest and to wake up
with birds and monkeys on the roof.
The Ayahuasca has given me insights in past events
that had been stopping me living fully and certainly empowered my happiness.
Other insights about how my brain perceives the world enables me to journey
and dream in a far more real fashion. I have never felt so much love
from the universe for me and me for the universe as during one of the
sessions. After the sessions, I am a much freeer person and am no longer "needy";
this means my relations with people are changing again.
I had
chosen the Chiric Sanango as a herbal medicine
during my stay and I have also taken a big
bottle home. I am learning a lot about my body
and spirit through the plant, it nearly feels
like I communicate with my cells. Besides all
this fantastic, the diet is not really fancy
food, some Ayahuasca purges are hard (not as
hard as from bad food). But during the purges,
I have had the biggest lessons. I would advise
this trip to anybody who wants self development
and follow its own individuation process. Thanks
Howard for finding the way and be willing to
take the risks.

Howard & Peter, Thanks you for opening
my eyes, mind, and senses! I will never be the same. Good luck with continuing
your development of spiritual growth as I know I will be. Love
Susan P. (USA) 27 Jan 2007.
This is the
start of a new chapter. It’s meant to be.
Thank you for being a catalyser in my real journey
of this life time. Thank you for showing me the
way ahead. Peace and love to you all. Always.
