“This was our second visit to ["Ashi Meraya"]. The first time here was great but the second time was much better. We want to thank all the people here who made our time here unforgettable. 3 years left since our last visit and things have changed: many buildings are grown up and the people put lots of work here. Our special thanks go to our translator, Clever, who had always open ears for us. Also, the shaman Don Alfredo showed us another view of the world. Now we know the important things to be happy. And we thank you Ninfa for the very good food you prepared. Of course, all the other people did everything they could [for us] to have a good time. We are sure to come back as soon as possible. Hope to see u all soon. Warmest Regards.”
“This entire experience was in a word magic. It is so rare these days that people welcome other into their families. We (my new wife and I), will forever treasure the hospitality, generosity and sheer warmth of Jose’ and his magnificent family. It is our hope that all your desires manifest in the most wonderful way possible. Muchas gracias mi nuevo familia.”
“I spent an incredible time at [Ashi Meraya] and came back with a huge shift in consciousness. Ayahuasca is such a powerful way to get into depth of yourself but also outside of yourself and feel truly connected. Even though It wasn’t always an easy ride and I had to face my fears and weaknesses, I saw the worlds of infinite beauty, freedom and creativity.
When I was asked how do I sum up what I learned from my experience in a few words, I can say that the main thing ayahuasca made clear to me is to really be yourself and stand for your truth. Thanks to everyone at Ashi Meraya for providing me with such an amazing experience: Maestro Don Alfredo for his great power, knowledge and incredible drive to share it with others. All the members of the family – Jose, Inez, Esther, Claudia and others for being super warm, welcoming and hard-working. David for not only always being there for translating, but support and understanding. And finally, thanks to all those who keep ayahuasca shamanism alive. It is of tremendous importance. And…thanks to Ayahuasca. Your power and spirit are incredible, massive and beautiful.”
“Primeramente, les agradezco su gentil acogida. Han sido todos todos todos muy buenos conmigo y han hecho que esta visita sea menos difícil. Dietar por 3 semanas ha sido una de las cosas mas difíciles de mi vida (aparte de dar a luz y criar 2 hijos). Ayahuasca es una maestra de gran fiereza y gran ternura. Nunca se compromete y su honestidad es brutal. Aprendi’ cosas bellas, muy muy bellas e importantes para mi vida. Me voy alentada y con nuevo proposito para esta etapa de mi vida. Gracias a todos.
Maestro Alfredo, Claudia, Ines y Jose’, sus hijos Eunice, Ester, Eusaria y las nietas Doris, Jennifer, Daniela (con el pan en el horno), Gilberto e Isaac, Ines, fuertemente laborosos, David un caballero siempre, el cocinero que se fue’, Clever, los demas pasajeros y tambien todas las criaturas de Ashi Meraya y su plantas magicas. Se las agradezco mucho, gracias de todo corazon.”
