About this Retreat
My name is H. Mauricio. After 10 years of helping, working with plant medicine, co-creating and facilitating in different centers and projects focused on natural medicine and spiritual healing (both in others and in myself), along with the teachings of hundreds of people who have had a journey in the medicine process, and taking knowledge from every place where I have placed my stone, that's how I decide to create this project for a natural, accessible experience of growth and self-encounter with oneself.
My work is focused in have a deep healing and different experience.
I learned the ayahuasca medicine from my shaman from pucallpa peru under the ashaninka lineage and add some other knowledge i learn in these years of work, and then kambo (frog medicine) and yopo from different teachers over the course of these 12 years.
Details of this retreat
What is Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is an Amazonian plant brew which has been used for millennia by the indigenous people of the Americas, for healing purposes and for spiritual exploration.
The Ayahuasca effects and benefits vary greatly from each Ayahuasca experience to another. This is one thing you need to know: No two ceremonies are ever the same, and no two people ever have the same experience.
The Ayahuasca brew contains: Ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) and Chacruna (Psychotria viridis) or Chaliponga (Diplopterys cabrerana) leafs. The vine contains harmine and harmaline which are MAO-A inhibitors, and tetrahydroharmine which is a weak serotonin uptake inhibitor. The leaves contain dimethyltryptamine (DMT), the strongest entheogen known to man. Ingested, the combination of these plants lead to the uptake of DMT by your brain where it will open your perceptions with an awakened state of consciousness.
Effects, Experience An Benefits
Ayahuasca’s effect is a state of altered, amplified consciousness that is experienced after drinking the Ayahuasca brew. The process with Ayahuasca principally is that of a physical cleansing or detox and of a psycho-emotional release. The physical cleansing is accompanied by nausea and eventually other emetic effects or purging: throwing-up, diarrhea, sweating, shaking, etc.
On a psychological level, the sacred medicine of Ayahuasca amplifies all feelings and perceptions making the experience of thinking, self-reflection, reaction and belief more vivid and intense. Not only does the inner experience of one’s mind gets more amplified, the part of us that is conscious and aware becomes able to draw clearer connections between the thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
This results in an experience of seeing the full picture of parts of our life, our relationships, our difficulties or so called “problems,” leading to insights about oneself and deeper comprehension of one’s reality. Essentially in the Ayahuasca experience not only our inner world is lit up and illuminated, but the capacity of consciousness is also amplified and expanded.
The Visions
Ayahuasca is part of the family of sacred medicines that give us the chance to reach higher states of consciousness. The visions associated with the Ayahuasca experience, whether chaotic, confused, or vivid and intense, serve to show us the totality of our life: the in-s and out-s of the conscious and subconscious mind, our emotional reactions and behaviors and how they affect our relationships. On the other hand, the visions often are just another factor of cleansing, allowing us to process visual imprints, the impact from the mass media, TV, Internet, and other psychosomatic and emotional blockages.
In respect to a person’s spiritual aspirations, the Ayahuasca experience occupies a role of a spontaneous teaching. Without claims of a particular phenomenological status of what is the source of these teachings, an Ayahuasca practitioner can have very profound insights, revelations and even sense of being guided. Based on this, the Ayahuasca experience deserves to be approached with the utmost respect, so that one’s attitude or the intention is that of going to meet a spiritual master or teacher.
The ayahuasca plant medicine is a beautiful and at the same time strong and intense experience. The plant calls people in different ways, and when we are ready, our inner shaman decides to start the pilgrimage, to look for the grandmother ayahuasca, and to start the inner work with the sacred experience.
This path has been part of my life for many years. It helped to heal the wounds of my soul and to understand from another point of view the world around me, and also to listen to my inner guide that we all carry inside and that needs to wake up now more than ever.
This space is created for those travelers who listen to this call and seek a more intimate and personal experience. We work with groups of no more than 5 people, small or personal groups, in which we will work with 1 night of ayahuasca.
We also will work with tobacco and rape medicine, and sweat lodge temazcal in the span of 3 nights and 4 days. The important thing is to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for the experience that we have in front of us.
I sincerely believe that connection with nature is very important for the work with the medicines and the inner shaman.
We are available most of the time. Contact us and ask for a date that is convenient for you.
