What is Ayahuasca and what are your ceremonies like?
Ayahuasca is a sacred brew made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and Psychotria viridis leaf, containing DMT and MAOIs. It offers profound inner journeys, emotional release, ancestral healing, and deep communion with Spirit. Our Ayahuasca ceremonies are held over two nights in a safe, loving container with trained facilitators and integration support.
-
What is Psilocybin and why is microdosing helpful?
Psilocybin is the active compound in “magic mushrooms,” known for their ability to gently open perception, enhance creativity, and foster emotional healing. Microdosing (taking sub-perceptual amounts) can help improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance focus — all without the full psychedelic effect. It’s a great tool for daily spiritual alignment.
-
What is energy work and what do you offer?
Energy work helps clear, balance, and harmonize your energetic body. We offer Reiki, chakra alignment, and shamanic clearing to support your integration, healing, and spiritual evolution. Energy work is often combined with other modalities for a full-spectrum transformation.
-
What is Rapeh (Rapé) and how is it used?
Rapeh is a sacred Amazonian tobacco snuff made from powdered herbs and ash. It’s used to cleanse the energetic field, ground the mind, and bring clarity. It’s usually administered in ceremony through a special pipe called a Tepi or Kuripe by a trained facilitator.
-
What is Sananga?
Sananga is a traditional Amazonian eye drop made from the Tabernaemontana shrub. It clears the energetic field, sharpens spiritual vision, and can assist in purging emotional and energetic blocks. While it can sting momentarily, the benefits are often described as powerful and clarifying.
