Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our ayahuasca retreats, plant medicine, safety protocols, and what to expect during your healing journey.

Ayahuasca is a sacred brew made from the ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) and the chacruna leaf (Psychotria viridis). The vine contains MAO inhibitors that allow DMT from the leaf to be orally active, creating a powerful psychoactive experience that has been used for thousands of years for healing and spiritual growth.

When used responsibly with experienced shamans and proper medical screening, ayahuasca is generally safe. We conduct comprehensive health assessments, provide 24/7 medical support, and maintain strict safety protocols throughout all our retreats.

Each ceremony is unique, but typically includes: a gradual onset of effects, possible nausea and purging (which is part of the cleansing process), vivid visions and insights, emotional processing, and deep introspection. The experience usually lasts 4-6 hours with ongoing support from our team.

Preparation includes: following a specific diet (avoiding certain foods and medications), mental and emotional preparation, completing our health questionnaire, and setting intentions for your journey. We provide detailed preparation guidelines and support throughout the process.

Participants must be 18+ years old, in good physical and mental health, and not taking certain medications. We conduct medical screening to ensure safety. Those with certain medical conditions, pregnancy, or specific mental health issues may not be suitable candidates.

All retreats include: ayahuasca ceremonies, accommodation, all meals (vegetarian/vegan), preparation and integration support, 24/7 medical support, transportation from major cities, and ongoing guidance from experienced shamans and facilitators.

Contact us through our website or phone to discuss your needs and availability. We'll conduct a preliminary health screening, provide preparation guidelines, and confirm your booking. A deposit is required to secure your spot.

Our experienced team is trained to handle challenging experiences. We provide 24/7 support, medical supervision, and integration counseling. Most difficult experiences are actually part of the healing process and can lead to profound insights and transformation.
