New Era, MI, September 9, 2025 — Wellness tourism and plant medicine retreats are rapidly growing in popularity, but participants encounter one consistent challenge: How to find and choose safe, ethical, and trustworthy retreat centers? JourneyAya.com has launched to help with that search. This new website is dedicated to helping participants find reputable and safe ayahuasca retreats, prescreening 70+ centers across 7 countries in Central and South America.
A Trusted Guide in an Uncertain Landscape
Ayahuasca retreats have gained global attention as individuals pursue spiritual growth, personal transformation, and healing. Sadly, the increase in demand has come an influx of unsafe and even predatory operators. JourneyAya.com was created to address this challenge directly by prescreening centers for trust, safety, and integrity in its listings.
“At Journey Aya, we understand that attending an ayahuasca retreat is one of the most personal and profound decisions someone can make,” said the owner of the site. “Our mission is to do the initial research so participants can narrow their choices, focus on their journey, and not worry so much about legitimacy. It also saves a lot of time in searching and researching.”

Raising the Standard of Responsibility
Ayahuasca, a sacred plant medicine from the Amazon, has been used for centuries in indigenous traditions. As global interest grows, so does the need to protect participants and honor the practice’s integrity.
“Too often, seekers face uncertainty or even risk when looking for a retreat,” the owner added. “The search is time consuming and confusing. JourneyAya.com exists to bridge that gap – helping people find centers that have an established reputation for safety.”
