The Ayahuasca experience

An ayahuasca ceremony is a traditional ritual led by a shaman, and it is considered a powerful and transformative experience. It typically takes place in a quiet and peaceful setting, with participants sitting or lying down in a circle.

​

During the ceremony, the shaman will prepare and serve the ayahuasca brew, which is made from the ayahuasca vine and other plant ingredients. The shaman will then sing traditional icaros or songs, and this is believed to create a spiritual connection with the plant medicine and the participants.

​

As the effects of the ayahuasca begin to take hold, participants may experience a wide range of sensations and emotions, including hallucinations, visions, and deep introspection. The experience can be both intense and cathartic, and it is important to approach it with an open mind and a willingness to surrender to the journey.

​

Throughout the ceremony, the shaman will be present to guide and support the participants, and to help them navigate any difficult emotions or experiences that may arise.

 

The shaman may also perform individual healings or "limpias" on participants to clear their energy and help them release any negative emotions or blockages.

​

It's important to note that every ayahuasca ceremony is unique, and the experience can vary from person to person. However, a good shaman will create a safe and supportive environment, and will be there to provide guidance and support throughout the entire ceremony.
