What is Ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca is a brew that has psychoactive properties. Two main plants used to make this brew, Banisteriopsis and Psychotria Virdis, are found in the Amazon rainforest in South America. These plants contain hallucinogenic compounds like MAO inhibitors and DMT.
Why Join An Ayahuasca Ceremony?
An ayahuasca ceremony is described as a transformative journey that is conducted under the supervision of a shaman or coach. During the ceremony, people experience intense visuals and hallucinations. They undergo an altered perception of time and space and reach a state of self-introspection.
Many individuals encounter spiritual entities ancestors, and meet their higher self. The medicine helps in bringing out suppressed emotions, unresolved trauma, and insights for personal growth. Joining an Ayahuasca retreat in California is a way to confront what is unresolved. The ayahuasca experience can be defined as a spiritual purge.
Process of Ayahuasca Ceremony:
Ayahuasca is performed at night, so participants are expected to arrive at the ceremony location in the early evening. Arriving before the time is seen as a token of respect for the healer and the ritual, and it also gives participants some time to clear their minds. The ceremony starts with the preparation of the space and the ceremonial tools.

The ceremony starts with silence and introspection. This is done to strengthen trust in the process. Next, the shaman begins with an introduction, and then they politely calls out the names one by one to take a cup of the brew. The shaman also speaks with the participants about their intention and the dosage of the medicine. Everyone drinks their cup of ayahuasca, and songs and music start to play.

Music is an essential part of the healing process, but the songs and music played during the ayahuasca process are different. These songs help with the calling of higher wisdom.
Slowly, the medicine starts to work, and the plant spirit guides individuals toward different experiences.
Some people begin to experience pain, while others face the beauty of the future. Aria guides the people to get the best out of the ritual safely. Nausea, diarrhea, fear, and paranoia are other normal symptoms (necessary for cleansing) after taking the medicine, and they will go away after 2 to 6 hours. There is no need to worry as you will be safe at Nektar Healing in our Ayahuasca Retreat.

This happens because plant medicine deeply cleanses our body and rids it of toxic energies we might unconsciously hold. Purging is never pleasant, but in the case of ayahuasca, it is always worth it!
