DAY 3: YANAHUARA, SACRED VALLEY – SAN PEDRO CEREMONY

Fasting is required in preparation for the San Pedro (Wachuma) ceremony, which will begin at 09:00 am. Before drinking the medicine, everyone will have the opportunity to meet with the spiritual master for a personal diagnostic reading. It is ideal and beneficial to experience the effects of San Pedro before experiencing Ayahuasca, as it will allow you to release certain emotional attachments.  Mezcaline is the natural occurring alkaloid found in San Pedro, which puts your nervous system in a state of relaxation.  Additionally, it helps to fight gastritis, works on healing your emotional issues, and puts you in an overall state of balance and harmony.  Most people will vomit during this ceremony – not due to sickness, but rather liberation.  When you vomit, you are freeing yourself from the heavy loads that you have in your life while simultaneously harmonizing your body, spirit and energy with nature. This ceremony will be led by the spiritual master and typically lasts 10-12 hours, depending on your emotional and physical conditions.  

Included: San Pedro Ceremony / Dinner / Hotel

DAY 4: FREE REST DAY 

After waking up, you will enjoy a special breakfast created to replenish and recover your body.  You will have the entire day to relax however you wish.  The suggested options are yoga and/or meditation with an on-site instructor, a professional full body massage, and self-reflection/journaling in nature. In the afternoon, you will meet with the spiritual master to reflect on your San Pedro ceremony in both a personal setting and a group interpretation. 

Included: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Hotel

DAY 5: FIRST AYAHUASCA CEREMONY – INITIATION WITH THE MOTHER MEDICINE

In the morning, fasting is required in preparation for Ayahuasca, with the exception of fresh Papaya juice for breakfast and plenty of water throughout the day. You will have free time for yoga/meditation and massage in the morning. Option to arrange a group walk around the Yanahuara area. 

In the afternoon, you will meet with the Andean Spiritual Healing staff and the spiritual master for energy unification, Coca leaf ceremony with personal interpretation and diagnosis, Andean cleansing and energy protection, and an introduction to the ceremony and benefits of Mother Ayahuasca.

At 19:00, you will begin the first ceremony and initiation of the Mother Ayahuasca medicine. The ceremony will last most of the night – you should expect to end your ceremony between 1-5am. Everyone will experience Mother Ayahuasca differently depending on your emotional and physical needs. The first drink is the initiation to the medicine and while some people may experience visions, others might not have visions but will experience physical healing instead. The medicine will work with each of you in a different way to provide what you need, not necessarily what you want. The Ayahuasca plant heals and purifies your soul, mind and heart while being conscious at all times. After the effects of the medicine, you’re encouraged to sleep.
