Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about our Ayahuasca Retreats
What exactly is Ayahuasca, and what will I feel during the ceremony?
Ayahuasca is an ancient medicine from the Amazon, a sacred drink prepared by combining two plants. It is not a recreational drug, but a tool for deep healing. During the ceremony, you may experience visions, deep emotional introspection, and physical purging (vomiting), which is considered an energetic and spiritual cleansing. Each experience is unique and personal; the medicine will show you what you need to heal. Our shaman will guide and care for you throughout the process.
How many people participate in each ceremony?
We believe in the power of personalized attention, which is why we keep our groups small. Generally, our ceremonies do not exceed 8 or 10 participants. This allows the shaman to focus on each person's energy and allows you to feel comfortable in an intimate and contained environment, where you can open yourself up to the healing process with complete confidence.
Do I need to have previous experience with psychedelics or spirituality?
Absolutely not. Many of our guests are first-timers, seeking answers, healing, or a deeper connection. The most important thing is not your previous experience, but your intention and willingness to surrender to the process with humility and an open heart. We will provide you with all the guidance you need, from preparation to integration of your experience.
Is it safe to participate in an Ayahuasca ceremony?
Your safety is our top priority. Ayahuasca is safe when administered in an appropriate ceremonial context, guided by an experienced shaman and with the correct preparation. We work with Amazonian teachers with decades of experience who know how to manage the energy of the group and take care of each participant. In addition, before confirming your participation, we conduct a medical evaluation to ensure that you have no contraindications.
Is it legal to take Ayahuasca in Peru?
Yes, completely. In Peru, the use of Ayahuasca in its traditional context is protected by law. In fact, the Peruvian government declared Ayahuasca ceremonies to be part of the nation's cultural heritage in 2008, recognizing their immense value as traditional medicine and spiritual practice. You are in a country that respects and honors this ancient tradition, so you can participate with complete peace of mind.
What is the difference between Ayahuasca and San Pedro (Wachuma)?
Both are sacred medicines, but they work differently. Ayahuasca, known as the “grandmother,” is a more introspective experience, often at night, that takes you deep into your subconscious to heal from within. San Pedro or Wachuma, the “grandfather,” is a daytime medicine that connects you to the outside world, to nature, and to the energy of the heart. It opens your consciousness in a gentler, more expansive way. Many of our retreats combine both for a more complete healing process.
What if I have a difficult or overwhelming experience during the ceremony?
It is normal to feel a little apprehensive. If the experience becomes intense, remember that it is part of the healing and release process. Our shaman and facilitators will be by your side at all times to provide support, reassurance, and guidance. They are trained to help you navigate any challenging emotions or visions. You will never be alone; our team will support you with love and respect in a safe space.
Can I participate if I am taking medication, especially antidepressants?
This is very important. Certain medications, especially antidepressants (SSRIs, MAOIs), are incompatible with Ayahuasca and can be dangerous. It is crucial that you are completely honest on your medical form. If you are undergoing treatment, consult with your doctor about the possibility of safely discontinuing it well in advance of your retreat. Transparency here is essential to ensure your well-being.
