Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is a sacred plant medicine from the Amazon rainforest, traditionally used by Indigenous peoples for healing, spiritual insight, and deep inner transformation. At our retreat, ceremonies are held with reverence, guided by trained shamans and facilitators in a safe and supportive setting.
🌿 What Is Ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca is a brew made from two primary plants: the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the Chacruna leaf (Psychotria viridis). The combination opens the mind and heart, allowing for visions, emotional release, and spiritual insight.
It is not a recreational substance. It is a teacher, a medicine, and a mirror.
🛖 Ceremony Structure
Our ceremonies are held at night in a protected space, with experienced shamans, facilitators, guardians present at all times. Each ceremony includes:
- Opening prayer and intention setting
- Guided drinking of the medicine
- Live music (Icaros), silence, or gentle sound healing
- On-call support and space to move through your process
- Closing circle for grounding and connection
💫 What Can I Expect?
Every journey is unique. Some people experience vivid visions, emotional catharsis, ancestral memories, or deep peace. Others may feel discomfort, confusion, or resistance. Ayahuasca works on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels—clearing what no longer serves and reconnecting you with your truth.
⚠️ Respecting the Medicine
Ayahuasca is powerful and not appropriate for everyone. We take your safety seriously and conduct thorough medical and psychological screenings before approval. We also ask all guests to honor the dieta (preparation guidelines) before the retreat.
🌎 Indigenous Lineage & Ethics
We work in deep respect and reciprocity with the Indigenous traditions and wisdom keepers who have stewarded this medicine for generations. Our ceremonies are guided in a way that honors the roots of Ayahuasca while making space for people from all walks of life.
🙏 The Invitation
Ayahuasca does not give you what you want. She gives you what you need. This journey invites surrender, trust, and humility. If you feel called, it may be because something deep within you is ready to awaken.
