What Happens
At An Ayahuasca Retreat?
An ayahuasca healing retreat is somewhat like a yoga
retreat in that a group of people come together to go through a spiritual
journey under the care of qualified and experienced teachers. Except in an
ayahuasca retreat, guests also take part in ayahuasca ceremonies led by
indigenous shamans.
During an ayahuasca ceremony, which commonly takes place at night, a
shaman prepares the sacred brew and gives it to participants who gather in a
safe sacred space. The effects of ayahuasca usually take around 30 minutes to
begin and can last for around 5-6 hours.
While the ayahuasca ceremonies may be the focus of many retreats, most
also combine them with ceremonies using other ‘Master Plants’ – plants used in
natural shamanic medicine – as well as the healing arts of yoga, meditation,
massage, music and more to aid the overall transformation process.
Almost every ayahuasca retreat will also include participants
undertaking a special detoxing diet before and during the retreat
which includes cutting out most meat, caffeine, alcohol, spices, dairy, citrus
and refined sugars in order to prepare your body for the medicine ceremonies.
