Working with ayahuasca is a very complex procedure, and it is not something that you can do sitting in a kitchen. One of the core elements is the presence of an experienced shaman. Taking ayahuasca can be a powerful healing experience. People have told about spiritual revelations, a new perception of life, and other effects. They have gone the way of light! Both physical and mental purification is a goal of the ayahuasca ritual.

People come to Peru or other countries for the following purposes:

• fighting addiction;

During ayahuasca retreats, you can experience vivid hallucinations. The effects will last for up to 8 hours.

About the Ceremony

The ceremonies are carried out in a small group of 5-20 people. Usually, they are conducted at night, but it is also possible to undergo through them during the day. There are no two identical ayahuasca rituals, and each of them depends on many factors. 

However, each of the ayahuasca ceremonies is conducted to allow one to face the gifts of Mother Ayahuasca.

The following are the typical stages of the ritual:

• The participants are seated in a circle. A shaman (curandero) is in the center;
• Ayahuasca tea is given to each participant;
• The shaman starts singing a special song (icaros);
• The participants experience the effects of the ayahuasca drink (such as vomiting) within 15 minutes;
• The shaman may use tobacco smoke to stimulate the olfactory senses;
• The participants begin going through a purification procedure.
