It’s been a few years now since I was at the Garden of Peace, but that place truly changed my life and I have no doubt it can change yours too, if you come with an open heart and give it a real chance. When I arrived, I was carrying a heavy load of personal struggles. But the team held space for me with such grace and care. Supporting people through deep healing isn’t easy work, and I’ll always be grateful for how they showed up for me. There was a young local guy working there at the time I think he’s still around. He would bring meals to my hut every day with the warmest smile and such a kind, humble energy. I’ll never forget one night in ceremony when he picked up a guitar and started singing songs about God and Jesus. The whole maloka lit up. It was so unexpected and beautiful it moved something deep inside me. Until that point, I’d only seen him tending to the grounds and bringing food, but in that moment, he became something of a messenger. I know someone recently had a tough experience there, and I truly feel for them. But no one can take away the healing I experienced in that space. For me, it was and still is an epic, unforgettable place. Oh and if you go, please say hello to the cat named Hunter for me. He used to curl up and sleep beside me most nights. Such a sweet soul. Little things like that made the experience all the more magical.

A beautiful and sacred place in the Tarapoto jungle for self-reflection and healing. Guided by a caring and supportive crew, with special props to Ash, the owner and founder, for keeping it running, not an easy task given the location. Truly grateful to have had the chance to spend 10 days in the garden, mostly in silence, reflecting, journaling, and learning more about myself. A truly life-changing experience. Be prepared for a challenging yet deeply rewarding time that has the potential to shift your life in whatever direction you point it. All the blessings for your journey!

When I came to the garden of peace, I was a very lost and broken man. Physically, mentally and emotionally. Through the careful guidance of an excellent staff and an excellent shaman, I found who I truly am inside. Ayahuasca and a plant dieta gives you the keys to your higher self and forces beyond our physical plane, but you and your spiritual team can do the work. I left with cured IBS, a reset fractured finger, and a fresh perspective on life I never had. I now have the courage to do things in life I never thought possible. For anyone curious about retreats in this region, I cannot recommend them enough, they helped to change my life and I thank God every day that we found each other.

The Garden Of Peace was an absolutely life-changing experience! From the service of getting there and quick responses to the beautiful property and treatment, it was the best scenario one could ask for. At one point, I got quite sick and they took extra care of me, providing me with the most and allowing me to feel very comfortable and safe. Communication was great, as I don’t know any Spanish. The aya itself was moving, real and literal. Always with lots of hands on support. Not to mention beautiful!!! I saw at least 200 types of butterflies! I would suggest the Garden anytime to anyone and looking forward to my next visit!

Ive worked with ayahuasca for many years in many different countries, the garden of peace, ash, reshin nika and the team are bye far the most genuine and authentic people ive come across in this space. I dont say this lightly but if you want to work with aya and master plants in a genuine authentic space and do some deep work this is the place…..and the location is nothing short of spectacular!!

I had the privilege of recently taking part in a 14-day master plant dieta at the Garden of Peace. While I had several Ayahuasca experiences before coming here, this was my first master plant dieta and I truly didn’t understand the process until it began. As a result, my journey started off quite challenging, but I am thrilled to say that the outcome was nothing short of transformative. While I immediately loved the land, my casita and the general vibe at the Garden, the first days of my dieta were difficult, as I struggled with the intense nature of the process and to adapt to the deep inner work required. However, as I surrendered to the process, and with the support and connection I felt from the incredible staff here and the sacred space provided, I persevered, and it ended in a way I never expected. I came to the Garden of Peace with the intention of learning songs, which admittedly seems quite shallow now, but I ended up receiving deep healing that I didn’t even realize I needed. The connection I developed with my plant, Aho Sacha, was profound. I felt it in my body and spirit soon into the process, and have still felt the energy of this incredible teacher throughout my post-dieta integration, amazing me with its lasting effects. A special heartfelt mention goes to Rishi Nika, whose incredible work is nothing short of magical. His mastery of his craft was transformative, and I’m so grateful to have experienced healing under his guidance. I have never felt such wisdom and power from a healer in all of my ceremony experiences in South America. I will be returning many times for future dieta experiences, confident in the support of this incredible team. Beyond the ceremonies and plant dieta, the simple aspects of life here touched me deeply. Bathing daily in the river and being immersed in the surrounding nature have grounded me in ways I didn’t expect. The retreat’s environment fosters a deep connection with the natural world, which has been an essential part of my healing journey. My experience at the Garden of Peace was so positive and transformational that I decided to stay on as a volunteer, which has further deepened my connection to the community and the powerful work done here. I feel blessed to be part of this beautiful project that has and continues to change lives. If you are called to work with plant medicine, I highly recommend the Garden of Peace. It’s a place of deep healing, profound growth and transformation, offering not just spiritual healing but a powerful reconnection to life’s simple joys.

I came here last year to evaluate the center as I prepared to launch my retreat business 2024. The experience really blew me away. This year I choose to stay here one month and drink Ayahuasca 6 times in a new partnership with Ash. The Garden Peace is an extraordinary center. The grounds and the layout of the place is nothing less than mystical and as majestic as it gets on planet Earth. It's such a beautiful energy that brings you into the Oneness of Being. It's the retreat I always wanted to come to life as a beautiful dream and it has! This makes the seventh family that I've had the privilege to drink this amazing medicine with. To be honest, I would have liked to have discovered this place years ago. The Maestro of Ceremonia Rishin Nika and the ower Ashley are two of the most powerful Ayahuasquero Coranderos I have ever met. Rishin Nika is the real deal. He's incredibly strong and sings ikaros that feel thousands of years old. He sings a incredible tribal rhythm of ancient love that helped cleanse my heart and heal my mind. I'm so grateful! The smile that radiates from his face is one of the brightest I have ever seen. I consider him a very rare man and thank God He put him in my life. Ashley is just as amazing. He's one of the most generous, accommodating, and giving people I've ever met. I can't thank him enough for co-creating this gem of a place and teaching others how to live from their heart and love themselves by experiencing the miracle of Aya. The Garden of Peace is what it says. It's a place where people come to grow into the ways of peace and let go of what's no longer serving them. It is a miracle healing center. Our mental weeds are removed and we flower again into Light. The quality of the Ayahuasca here is some of highest quality I've ever had. This is such a high quality place which includes the food, service, staff, Wi-Fi, incredible river, butterflies and hummingbirds, waterfall, and incredible Love that is here. I'm looking forward to coming back and launching my retreat services here as a partner. I offer you my absolute certainty that the Great Spirit of the Universe runs this place. Making a decision to come here, is nothing less than miracle, because miracles happen here. Come here and experience the miracle for yourself. The Holy Earth Foundation - Founder - Isaiah Kenney

An experience that will never be forgotten. I found a level of peace & love in my heart that I never knew existed. I met strangers that became family in a matter of days. I thought I was broken and a burden to those around me but I have found inner peace and love for myself. I have a new found happiness and love for everything in this World and beyond. The Garden of Peace is a safe place and they specialise in small groups. Rashinika and Kathy are there at the ceremonies along with their children. I travelled alone and was made welcome and safe from the moment I was collected from the Cafe in Tarapoto. Have no doubt in booking with Ash and his beautiful team. Thank you to Ash, Isabella, Cyrus (Excalibur), Rashinika and Kathy for creating this space.
