Introduccion:

Since the discovery of America and the attempt of conquest of its peoples, started a constant negation of the New World´s cultural contributions which could go against the religious beliefs and interests that were the Occidental humanity´s center of attention back then.

ITINERARY

Thanks to its isolation from the modern world and in many cases, to the governments´ indifference, the Peruvian Amazon managed to maintain alive its tradition of the adequate use of its resources.

Today, some of us are looking at the Amazon with the sufficient understanding so as to value it. Perhaps, we are interested to know why, through the ingestion of a beverage prepared in the middle of the jungle, it is possible to heal a disease or simply, improve our quality of life.
We must recognize that humanity´s future lies in great part within our hands and in this case, it greatly depends on how much time we´ll manage to preserve the Amazon in its original state, so that we might continue having access to it and might learn to wisely take advantage of what it has to offer.

At present, the world can have access to the Amazonian Traditional Medicine which is an adequate method to interpret and use this apparently chaotic green tangle which, in reality, works as a natural laboratory without margin for error.

Before the ceremony:

The people interested in the different AYAHUASCA ceremonies, will have a preliminary conversation with the Shaman or Healer who will perform the ceremony, in order to allow the latter to diagnose the person´s physical and emotional condition and know about the interest he/she might have regarding the use of the MASTER MEDICINAL PLANT and so that a mutual trust relationship might arise between the participants and the person who will perform the ceremony.

THE DAY OF THE CEREMONY:

The AYAHUASCA ceremonies take place at night, from 7:00 p.m. on and this is in order to get a better response from the Master Medicinal Plant´s effects.
After 30 minutes of having ingested the beverage, the participant will have a different perception of his/her body and will feel somewhat disoriented, as something similar as the effect of alcohol.

Possible vomiting or expulsion of the ingested beverage might occur, but without any bad smell of vomit, as only what has been ingested is being expulsed. In some cases, it might happen that diarrhea might serve as a purge for the organism or simply, it is possible that the participant might not feel any of these sensations and this will greatly depend on his/her physical and emotional state, as well as on whether he/she has correctly followed the indications given by the Shaman and the agency.

Then, the participant enters into a state of trance and starts to have visions, exploring his/her life, in an interrelation with the Cosmos and the Universe and a contact is frequently made with the “Pacha Mama” or Mother Earth. But, regarding the visions that one might have, this is not a constant factor in all individuals and much of it depends on the participant´s general state of health, as well as on his/her physical, mental and emotional impetus. The effects of the plant last about 3 hours and a half, depending on each participant´s general condition. (Of course, if the participant is blocked or didn´t follow the indicated diet, he/she generally won´t have any vision at all).

After the hours of trance have gone by, the participants will feel somewhat tired and will simply rest until the next day, to then get back to their respective hotel.

After the ceremony:

After the Ayahuasca ceremony, each participant will have an analysis and conclusion conversation with the Shaman about everything that happened during the ceremony and especially, on his/her general state, as well as on the interpretation of visions if he/she had any, in order to offer him/her a complete service and eliminate doubts regarding all of what he/she had the chance to experience during the process of the ceremony.
