Are you aware that our actions are guided by the subconscious?
When an individual feels the urge for change, it is the cortex that decides whether to act immediately or to wait.
Take, for instance, a retreat with Ayahuasca in Peru. Perhaps you’ve considered such an experience, but something always holds you back? It’s just that the subconscious requires more information.
And today, we aim to provide that in the form of a summary of a survey from our retreat participants.
If, immediately or after some time following the reading of this article, you feel a strong desire to join us for a retreat, do not hesitate! This means your subconscious has aligned all the acquired information with your inner needs, signaling that the retreat is precisely what you need for your true transformation.

How the survey on the impact of the Ayahuasca experience was conducted
Who took part in the survey
Participants in the survey were individuals who, like you, once decided to change themselves and their lives.
Each of them embarked on this journey in the Amazon jungle, at a retreat with Ayahuasca.
Their life situations and paths varied. Some were tired of being ill, others were tired of waiting for a clear direction from others. For some, it was simply curiosity and a desire for new experiences. While others sought a specific, tangible insight into themselves or a path to self-discovery.
At some point, each of them came across information about Ayahuasca in different ways. What they had in common was that their subconscious accepted the information and prompted them to act!
Of course, many of them had visible or hidden fears and obstacles to venturing into the unknown, to the other side of the Earth, into the wild.
Someone thought: is it necessary to get vaccinated against yellow fever? How can I best fly if the connection is in Europe and I don’t have Schengen? What if I can’t eat what they offer? How can you live in a house without walls? What about wild animals? (Insert your doubt here).
This is where the power of the subconscious comes into full display. Doubts and fears don’t disappear completely. But one gains the conviction that he needs to go there!
In one way or another, all the people from our survey ended up at the “Home of Ayahuasca,” went through their individual journeys during the retreats, and received impulses for development and profound changes in their lives.
How the survey was conducted
The survey was conducted using the Psychological Insight Scale (PIS) as a starting point. It proved useful for understanding the changes that occur some time after a psychedelic experience.
We then modified it to account for the unique aspects of our retreats, which aim for deep transformation both psychologically and spiritually. Typically, these changes are stable and long-lasting.
We distributed the questionnaire to all retreat participants with whom we currently have contact.
Participants rated each item on a 5-point Likert scale with options ranging from “Strongly agree”, “Agree”, “Neither agree nor disagree”, “Disagree” to “Strongly disagree”
In addition, there was one open-ended optional question about what other results of the retreat had a significant impact on life.

In addition, there was one open-ended optional question about what other results of the retreat had a significant impact on life.
The results we obtained are as follows:
Overall outcomes
Positive responses
A significant majority of positive responses, ranging from 67% to 100%, were received for all 13 questions.
Negative responses
Negative responses, including “disagree” and “strongly disagree” ranged from 7% to 13% and were only found in 4 questions.
Neutral responses
The option “Neither agree nor disagree” was only present in 7 out of the 13 questions, with the percentage of neutral responses varying from 7% to 27%. This indicates a high degree of confidence in their answers among the majority of participants.
Two questions achieved an absolute 100% confident positive response.
All respondents included the Ayahuasca retreat experience among the top five most productive events of their lives for personal development.
Furthermore, 87% considered the retreat experience to be the most productive event in their lives overall, across all their experiences of transformation and personal development.
Additionally, all respondents expressed a desire to attend the retreat again.
From this, we conclude that the retreat at our center has become a landmark and significant event in terms of personal changes.
Another two questions reached 100% when summing all positive responses (“Strongly agree” and “Agree”).
These questions pertained to the organization of the retreat by us, the people
92% of respondents were completely satisfied with the retreat’s organization, and an additional 8% leaned towards a positive evaluation of our work.
We are pleased that we managed to meet expectations and provided what was necessary for people who embarked on a journey into the unknown, essentially into another reality.
It is important to note that requests, like people, are always diverse.
We received between 87% to 93% positive responses on 6 questions.
93% of our retreat participants acquired new skills on how to respond more effectively to life situations and people, and also started to relate differently to themselves.
Additionally, 87% of respondents are willing to recommend the Ayahuasca experience to others.
“Learning to accept my truth and live by it was incredibly liberating and greatly influenced my ways of communicating and interacting with myself and others.”
“A lot of unnecessary people just fell away.”
“I felt a very strong connection with nature, with the Earth, and this experience is now constantly with me; I’ve started to notice much more beauty and love in the world around me.”
Negative thoughts and attitudes that previously hindered living were eliminated for 88% of participants after the retreat. It’s noteworthy that for some, the time elapsed since attending the retreat was measured in years (up to 5 years), indicating truly lasting improvements.
86% of people discovered new paths for their further development thanks to the Ayahuasca retreat. The retreat became a new starting point in their personal coordinate system for an interesting life journey.
“I became different, completely different. Old patterns peeled away. Though they sometimes emerge, self-monitoring helps me change them.”
“There was a kind of reboot of the mind. Like a fresh start for a computer that had begun to hang.”
“New neural connections, the mind started to function faster and more sharply.”
“I’ve fundamentally lost my mind!”
The knowledge gained during the retreat enabled 93% of participants to initiate positive changes in their lifestyle, thoughts, and behavior.
Once again, it’s worth noting that the retreat was considered the MOST productive event by 87% of respondents, making it the most significant and effective experience in their lives!
“An opening to the Universe!”
“This retreat completely changed me and my life. I am grateful to Home of Ayahuasca for all the knowledge and experience that I gained and later applied.”
“I highlight the liberation from the subconscious of what was deeply and distantly buried.”
“My worldview has significantly broadened, affirming and further deepening my understanding of the world.”
Three questions received between 67% to 80% positive responses.
80% of participants managed to free themselves from emotions that were significantly poisoning their lives. Considering that stuck emotions depend on many factors such as duration, intensity, and triggers, this result can be considered very significant.
73% managed to overcome their biggest personal obstacle thanks to the retreat.
67% noted an improvement in health following the retreat. Some initially had no health problems and did not aim for health restoration. Not everyone came for a healing retreat. However, many who did not plan to work on their health still noticed improvements after the retreat.

What about the red zone?
It is not large, but it still needs to be addressed:
- “Did this experience help me find new paths for development?” – 14% answered “no.” 14%
- “Was this experience the most productive event in my life for personal development?” – 13% said “no.” 13%
- “Would I recommend this experience to other people?” – 8% answered “no.” 8%
- “Did my health improve after the retreat?” – 7% said “no.” 7%
Firstly, receiving a report with absolutely positive feedback would be suspicious and unrealistic.
Secondly, as you know, not everything is to everyone’s liking! Although it’s also green, just like our jungles.
Thirdly, the external request that a person consciously formulates before the retreat might not align with what they need on a deeper level. Ayahuasca, however, leads deeper, to what needs to be reevaluated right now. And not without reason.
The plant, unlike the mind, flawlessly prioritizes work so that later, perhaps even after some time post-retreat, the person can fulfill that initial request.
For example, someone might want to understand where to go in their professional or personal life. But Ayahuasca sees that any movement is currently hindered by fears or blocks that are not consciously perceived by the individual. So, it first leads the person to these blocks, providing an opportunity to move freely in principle.
Finally, the Ayahuasca experience is very personal. Perhaps for those 8% of respondents who would not recommend it to others, it was too frightening, or they delved deeper than they could comprehend at the time, or the experience has not yet been fully realized.
Conclusion
Our original and constant work format involves individual retreats where a person interacts one-on-one with the plant.
The efficacy of this approach has been personally verified by a large number of people. However, the very format of deep individual work excludes the possibility of widely publicizing the results.
Nevertheless, we were eager to assist those who decide to undertake the long journey to Ayahuasca, to unlock the full potential and opportunities for acquaintance and communication with it.
That’s why we devised this survey, which for the first time throughout our operation allowed us to gather anonymized statistics.
Now, you can see unbiased data on how the retreat affects an individual’s daily life.
The numbers we’ve obtained from the survey speak for themselves.
An Ayahuasca retreat is a unique event that should happen in the life of anyone on the path of self-development and transformation.
For those who want to gain a clear, or rather, a deeply felt, tangible awareness and sensation of their true self. Without any pretense, without conforming to other models of “awareness,” but real.
Not the “right” one, but your personal, deep, true transformation, which humans cannot yet provide, but the Master plants can.
We await you at the retreat in Peru.
