Your well-being is our priority. With this in mind, we want to provide you with some recommendations that we believe will be useful in making a decision that truly aligns with your personal search. Deciding to participate in an Ayahuasca retreat is not something to be taken lightly. Ceremonies with Ayahuasca can produce profound, lasting changes in your worldview.
An Ayahuasca experience can be very intense and challenging. It can open doors to unknown realms of the psyche, trigger intense shifts in your perception of yourself and reality, and evoke strong physical and emotional effects. It may awaken deep-seated fears and even be a catalyst for dissociative experiences. It is crucial to understand this intensity and to know that Ayahuasca is not a substance to be pursued out of mere curiosity. It is a sacred medicine that deserves respect and must be approached with great responsibility.
Proper psychological and emotional preparation is essential for a safe and profound journey. The goal is to enter the ceremony with a clear, open mind and a willingness to confront deep truths.
Set Clear Intentions: Reflect deeply on why you want to take Ayahuasca. Are you seeking to heal a trauma? Do you feel lost or confused? Are you looking for clarity on your spiritual path or a greater sense of meaning in your existence? Formulating an intention gives you a guiding light, but it is equally important to surrender expectations, as the medicine often gives you what you need, not what you want.
Cultivate Openness and Surrender: Do not expect a beautiful or extraordinary experience. The most healing journeys are often the most challenging. The best attitude is to come with an open heart and no fixed expectations. It is vital to surrender to the experience; resisting the medicine’s effects can intensify difficult emotions.
Practice Self-Awareness: In the weeks leading up to your retreat, we recommend keeping a journal. This can help you identify patterns of thought, fears, hopes, and past traumas you wish to address, allowing you to arrive with greater self-awareness.
Reduce Distractions: In the days leading up to the ceremony, reduce your consumption of media, social networks, and stressful conversations. This helps create a quiet mental space and allows you to tune into your inner world.
We suggest engaging in spiritual preparation before participating in a retreat. This practice focuses on acknowledging the existence of a psychic reality beyond rational and logical comprehension, allowing you to align your energy and spirit with the medicine's healing purpose.
Reverence for the Medicine: Consider Ayahuasca not as a substance, but as a teacher or spirit. Approaching it with reverence and a sense of humility prepares you to receive its teachings.
Connecting with Your Inner Self: We recommend committing to a spiritual practice before the retreat, such as spending time in nature, meditating, doing yoga, or simply sitting in silence. This helps balance your energy and opens you to a deeper connection with the world around you.
Cleansing Your Energy: We also recommend abstaining from alcohol and drugs, practicing sexual abstinence, and avoiding interactions with toxic energies. This is intended to create a clearer and more receptive inner space.
Your physical health is a top priority, and a preparatory diet is necessary for a safe and effective experience. A proper diet allows the body to work with the plant medicine more dynamically and fluidly on a subtle energy level.
Dietary Preparation: Begin a preparatory diet several days before the retreat.
Medication Interaction is Crucial: It is extremely important to be aware of the interaction of Ayahuasca with certain medications. For example, antidepressants (SSRIs, MAOIs) can have serious consequences, such as serotonin syndrome. We require you to disclose all medications you are currently taking or plan to take before the retreat.
