Stories - 1001 Nights of Ayahuasca
Breathing Clean
Exactly one year ago today, I had the opportunity to participate in a retreat with Oliver and his wonderful team – a journey that truly changed my life. From the very beginning, I felt safe and supported, which allowed me to fully engage in the process. The path was not always easy – many things had a lasting effect, and there were many confrontations with myself. But that is exactly what allowed me to heal and change so much. I managed to quit smoking completely (thank you for your words, Oliver...), I sleep better and I am proud of how far I have come since then. This retreat helped me to accept my life more, to find peace with my decisions and to become more free inside.
A big thank you also goes to Sergio, who guided us so powerfully through the ceremonies, and to Jenna, Caroline and Kevin, who made this retreat a safe and unforgettable experience with their warmth and presence. I can't wait to have this experience again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this safe space.

5 Stars
I came after many therapies that only helped temporarily, and—with Oliver’s guidance, thoughtful preparation, and a welcoming environment—the first ceremony steadied me while the second became a breakthrough where decades of pain released. I left replacing hate with love, finding forgiveness and real peace, and I’m grateful to the team and eager to return with my son.

… From the YouTube videos in preparation, to the kind and caring leaders, to the absolutely stunning view at the retreat center, this is truly the perfect spot to take the leap. By the end, the group felt like a family that had gone on a fantastic journey together. There was lots of great preparation for the experience both before arrival and in the day before the ceremony, and tons of opportunities for thoughtful reflection and integration after each ceremony. You also can’t beat the smaller group size- really important for an ayahuasca experience in my opinion…
Natalie Wiegand
I felt incredibly well cared for by the entire team. The openness and humanity with which they treated us created a space where there was truly no room for shame – everything was allowed, nothing was embarrassing. The conversations before and after the ceremony were deep, honest and heartfelt. And during the ceremony itself, the team was attentive, present and supportive – you never felt alone. Thank you for your mindful and loving support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ayahuasca-supported addiction coping mechanism?
It’s a skills-based approach that pairs ceremony with integration tools—urge-surfing, mindfulness, journaling, and community—to interrupt cravings and build new habits.
Is this approach safe for addiction coping?
Yes—participants are carefully screened, supported by an experienced, safety-first team, and held in small groups (max 12) with clear harm-reduction protocols.
How does ayahuasca help with cravings and triggers?
Ceremony can increase insight into root causes while integration teaches practical coping mechanisms (breathwork, grounding, boundaries) to ride out urges without acting.
What does integration look like after ceremony?
Weekly groups, reflection prompts, and accountability check-ins help you practice coping skills, track triggers, and sustain progress at home.
Do I need to be abstinent to benefit?
Readiness and safety come first. Many guests use this work to reduce or end use; we’ll align goals to your situation through careful preparation and support.
How soon will an addiction coping mechanism start working?
Some relief can come quickly, but lasting change builds through consistent practice—attending groups, journaling, and using tools during real-life triggers.
