Take this short quiz to assess your mental and spiritual readiness for a psychedelic retreat.
When I first had the idea for this blog post, I couldn’t help but laugh. Something as sacred and complex as an Ayahuasca retreat, reduced to a list? Would that be blasphemous?
Upon further reflection, those are exactly the reasons to make a list, as opposed to tell a story. To provide the uninitiated broad strokes related to the motivations, experiences, understanding, and outcomes that can arise from an Ayahuasca retreat, and as much as possible to remove bias.
An Ayahuasca retreat is a profound and life-changing experience. A journey within to discover your truths, and to guide you towards living to your full potential.
