Ayahuasca: Science and Shamanism. Two different views

2 Feb, 2023

What do we know about Ayahuasca? The European view can be briefly expressed as follows: the effect of the drug is caused by the action of the chemicals that make up its composition.

Ayahuasca became known to Europeans only a few decades ago. Currently, the following description of the mechanism of its effect is accepted: the ayahuasca drink consists of two plants: chacruna - a source of DMT - a strong psychedelic responsible for most of the effects of ayahuasca, and the ayahuasca vine - a source of IMAO (harmine, harmaline, etc.), which do not allow DMT to be split in the stomach.

Ajo Sacha (Mansoa alliacea) - the tree of freedom

28 Jan, 2023

Ajo Sacha, or "garlic tree", is one of the strongest shamanic plants that we use both in retreats with Ayahuasca and separately. Ajo Sacha can be used in the form of herbal baths, rapeseed, infusion for oral administration.

Like Ayahuasca, Ajo Sacha is a Teacher plant. He shows a person his "soul". It leads a person to that pure and bright, which is his basis, essence. Teaches honesty and awareness. Strengthens willpower.

Will Ayahuasca help me?

Ayahuasca (ayawaska, yagé) is a mysterious vine that arouses great interest around the world because of its unusual properties. But it is not a magic potion, causing visions, changes, healings spontaneously.

Ayahuasca experience review. “Does it work if there are no visions”!?!?

7 Dec, 2022

ayahuasca visions

Before my first retreat with Ayahuasca, I had biased ideas about visions. I was expecting something like pictures from books and films that I read. But they didn’t come. There were some cartoons. The plot lasting several seconds was repeated again and again. My mind was very tired of watching this for hours. Every morning, in a conversation with the retreat instructor, I just repeated "there was nothing." I did not pay any attention to these cartoons. But the visions I expected were still not coming to me.

What is an ayahuasca retreat and what is the difference between ayahuasca retreat and ayahuasca ceremony?

21 Nov, 2022


As a rule, the shaman conducts the ceremony for several people. This is a ritual, usually lasting several hours, and after that participants leave the place of ceremony. Retreats with plants are another ancient practice of the aborigines inhabited the Amazonia. Ayahuasca of course is the most famous plant used in retreat. But this practice is much broader. There are many shamanistic and healing plants that are not used in ceremonies, but which are incredibly effective in retreat.

Ayahuasca review. An experience in Peru that changed my life

4 Nov, 2022

This trip to Peru was not an ordinary journey. I needed to have changed something in my life, and thus I chose a retreat with ayahuasca. I knew ayahuasca as a plant, which helps people to get into our own subconscious and reprogram it. I just felt the lack of a very simple thing – happiness, and I had to do something about it.

I was settled in a small house with a roof of dry palm leaves.

Ayahuasca review: 3-weeks retreat in Peru

22 Feb, 2020


I spent 3 weeks in “Mariri - Home of Ayahuasca” centre and my stay could not have been better. Although my work with Ayahuasca was different then what I expected it was a life-changing experience. My advice to all who think about drinking the shamanic plant is not to compare your own expectations to what you have heard about it from friends or found on the Internet. You will go through the journey of your own that is unique and exactly what you need.

Attitude to the world

27 Nov, 2019

Much time ago people knew how to relate to any phenomenon. Today this ability is kept only in traditional cults which are remote from modern society.

People are talking about it all the time. They say that one should not prefer one factor over another, but almost no one follows these moral principles in casual life.

9 Nov, 2019

ayahuasca way of knowledgeAfter reviewing on the net the descriptions of acquaintance with ayahuasca, I found out the lack of descriptions the second, no less important component of experience - how ayahuasca affects everyday life.

My today's story is not about amazing travels and discoveries of a universal scale, but about small changes in everyday life, the long-term consequences, and the impact of ayahuasca on everyday life. Those changes took place in my life and life of my friends.

Who am I? What is the sense of life? Where do i go? What should I do with my life?

These questions I asked ayahuasca for the first time we met.

Discipline of attention

4 Nov, 2019

You can never predict the direction in which Ayahuasca will lead you.  This cannot be foreseen, no matter how many articles have been read or ceremonies have passed. That is why it is important not to have an idea of how everything should happen. Having tuned in on a certain effect you will get limited results. As a result, you do not notice what is happening around you and inside you. You simply see nothing. But it was and it was great.

How to increase female sexual energy?

21 Oct, 2019


Recently, this is a very popular query, flickering on the Internet, which is not very correct. Sexual energy cannot be increased. It is given once for all your life. Therefore, in ancient times, they spent it very carefully. Now in our society, completely different views are being promoted. For an ordinary person sexual energy is what is associated with sexual relationships. But this is a big mistake. Sexual energy is the life energy. We are using it for creativity, for work, for money, for family, for children, for youth, beauty, for everything our everyday life is filled with. Therefore, it is absolutely reckless to use it blindfold, for momentary pleasure.

23 Sep, 2019


Widespread opinion tells that the main effect of ayahuasca is visions. Not at all. The presence of visions is optional. Moreover, even if there are visions at the beginning, at a certain stage they disappear. Visions are the attempts of the mind to interpret the processes occurring in the energy body.

Retreat with a Plant of Power or training another way

13 Aug, 2019

Spirit of treeThanks to legends and myths, Shamans of Peru - curanderos (healers) and brujos (witches, sorcerers) are worldwide well known.There are many people who are trying to study and understand their knowledge. Very likely that they intentionally hide their knowledge from "gringos". This makes even more intrigue.

However, few people know that every shaman, healer or sorcerer have his personal “Master” from the another world which is not the human world. Their teachers are plants. So, basically, people are looking for knowledge in the wrong place. After all, their “guardians" are not people, but the Forces of Nature. And access to the knowledge is limited only by our apprehension of the learning process. After all, it lies outside the intellectual sphere and all the usual methods of data perception do not work at all.
