FAQs

  • Ayahuasca ceremonies are usually held at night and can last several hours. Participants sit or lie down in a circle around the shaman, who prepares and blesses the ayahuasca brew before administering it. The amount given to each participant can vary based on the shaman's assessment of their physical and psychological readiness. After drinking the brew, it generally takes 20 to 60 minutes for the effects to begin. Participants may experience a wide range of intense psychological and physical effects, including visions, introspection, and emotional revelations. The shaman plays a crucial role throughout the ceremony, guiding the experience through icaros (sacred songs), prayers, and sometimes the use of sacred objects.

  • The primary allure of ayahuasca treatment lies in its reported ability to provide profound psychological and emotional healing. Participants often seek out the experience for its potential to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction, among other mental health issues. Anecdotal evidence and a growing body of research suggest that ayahuasca can lead to significant improvements in mental well-being. Some of the reported benefits include enhanced self-reflection, emotional release, and a sense of connection.

  • Deciding whether ayahuasca is right for you involves a multifaceted assessment of your physical health, mental well-being, personal intentions, and readiness to confront potentially challenging experiences. Ayahuasca is not a one-size-fits-all solution and requires careful consideration due to its potent effects and the profound changes it can induce.
