Leveraged Healing: Plant Spirit Medicine Retreat To truly heal and transform, we must be willing to engage, and take on some heavy lifting.
Ayahuasca doesn't do that for you. But it acts like a lever, allowing you to use your energy more effectively.
It helps you to get the work done now. Now.
The ancient curandismo tradition
in the Amazon is alive and well. There are still beautiful, proficient,
heartful men and women walking in the path of service, whose dharma is
to help you with your healing, with finding and releasing old forms, old
patterns of seeing and behaving, old boundaries of belief and wound. We
have five times taken groups of people with us to Peru, for 12 days in
the
rain forest, working with an indigenous curandero and with plant spirit
medicine. We have always found this medicine to be very powerful.
Working in a group together adds a wonderful dimension of support and
sharing. And of course, when you want time to yourself that is
completely supported.
The
marvelous interplay that humans have with Mother Nature, and with the
plants in particular, is front and center in our ayahuasca retreat.
What is striking is that, like everything in creation, medicine plants
each have their own vibration, and when we are open and receptive, with
clear intention, those finest-level vibrations come alive in us, and
step forward to serve.
Ayahausca
is consumed in ceremony in the form of a tea made of 2 or more plants.
The synergy of these plants allows DMT to be accessible to our bodies.
DMT is referred to as the "Spirit Molecule". It opens us to visionary
states.The Ayahausca vine is considered the "mother plant" which assists
in physical, emotional and mental healing. Hence the mixture is
considered both "doctor" and "teacher".
The medicine is taken in the evening, usually in a round ceremonial building called a maloka. Participants are seated in a great
circle, and the ayahuascero begins by setting a space of safety and
power, calling in his spirit helpers. One by one the participants rise
to receive a small cup of the potent tea.
Several
hours later, as the ceremony closes, some choose to remain and sleep in
the maloka, and others retire to their own rooms.
