Ayahuasca is a medicine made from two plants: ayahuasca and chacruna. These plants are boiled for several hours, resulting in a drink known as ayahuasca. In our RUNASIMY language, there are two words: AYA, meaning “dead,” and HUASCA, meaning “rope.” Thus, ayahuasca means “rope of the dead,” but at a much more advanced level, scientifically and intellectually, the Inka interpretation is “the way beyond death.” Scientifically, ayahuasca contains a component known as Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which is important for brain neurons. During ayahuasca ceremonies, the neurons of the human brain are awakened, and this is the purpose of the ceremony.

The effects of ayahuasca are said to be wonderful, since one of its purposes is to awaken dormant neurons in the brain, as well as to help awaken the third eye. This allows people to reach consciousness and stop being victims of unconsciousness.

The preparation of ayahuasca is a ritual performed by masters that takes many hours, at least 12 hours, as this time will determine the concentration of the drink. It involves boiling the ayahuasca vine and the leaves of the chacruna.

Ayahuasca is not consumed like any ordinary drink. It is important to perform a ceremony that is led by an intiyaya or quillayaya (shaman), who will assess the person’s internal spiritual strength and provide the appropriate amount required for the ceremony.

Ayahuasca ceremonies were performed throughout Tawantinsuyo (South America), but were further developed by the Incas since ayahuasca is a Quechua language name. Ayahuasca ceremonies can be performed in the jungle, coast, and mountains.

As native descendants, we perform ayahuasca ceremonies as our Inca ancestors did in Cusco and Machu Picchu. Therefore, it is recommended to do these ceremonies with native people.

Yes, it is safe to take ayahuasca under the guidance of native masters who understand their culture and Inca spirituality.

The journey lasts between 3 to 4 hours. The ayahuasca medicine acts differently in people, depending on their diets and personality. The ayahuasca ceremony is performed during the night.

Ideally, other medications should be stopped for at least one week before consuming ayahuasca, and the type of medication being taken should also be disclosed.

Before taking the sacred plant ayahuasca, it is important to know and comply with the diets indicated by the master. Many people focus only on dietary restrictions, but diets also involve the care of character and daily attitudes towards life.

After the ayahuasca retreat, it is important to maintain the dietary restrictions for a minimum of four days, but it is better if maintained for seven days. We have an open email for those who have questions or concerns after the ayahuasca retreat. You can also have a phone conversation directly with the master with a prior appointment.

Ayahuasca works differently in each person, so it is important not to have expectations and let the energy flow. What people normally expect from ayahuasca is to have visions, but for many who take it for the first time, they do not have visions and they require more cleansing with ayahuasca. The first ceremony deeply cleanses the body.

An ayahuasca ceremony is not just visions, but also the sensations that one will feel in the body since all those sensations are messages to each individual.

The ayahuasca retreats we perform are done as the Inkas did them. They were performed in energetic points such as open fields, caves, mountains, and Inka energy centers, where warm and thermal clothing, gloves, hats, and feather jackets are required.

The prior preparation is the diet that each person will personally undertake, according to what the master mentions. Before drinking ayahuasca, we will have between two to three hours to get to know each other more and make recommendations.

Normally, sessions can be held daily, depending on the patient’s availability and energy strength, or in spaced-out ceremonies. However, keep in mind that if you decide to have three ceremonies, they should be held at most within a month.

Normally, it is not recommended, but there are cases and exceptions for pregnant women. However, it is essential to have sufficient information about their gestation period, physical and psychological state, and diet.

People who are not willing to change their lifestyle, to heal and open up with themselves, should not take ayahuasca. A person must be sure to take ayahuasca.

The safest place is where there are native masters who maintain that knowledge, inherited culturally and genetically over time.

The master determines the dosage based on the patient’s energy strength, which depends on the recommended diet. If the patient fulfills the diet requirements, the master will give them the appropriate dosage. If this dosage is not enough during the ceremony, the person can have another dosage of ayahuasca. They can have three doses in one ceremony night if required.

It can be dangerous if ingested without knowledge, especially if done without a spiritual leader who is a native master.

It may happen that a person has a bad experience if they did not follow the appropriate diet, as the diet helps channel spiritual and physical energy for the medicine process.
