What is Ayahuasca?

Ayahuasca is a sacred Amazonian brew used for healing, purification, and expanding consciousness. For thousands of years, indigenous peoples of the Amazon have prepared and drunk it in ceremony, guided by shamans who learned directly from the naature. Today, anthropologists, psychologists, and medical researchers are confirming what these traditions have always known: Ayahuasca can support deep healing, emotional release, and new insights into the mind and spirit.

The Brewing Process

In the heart of these traditions, the brewing of Ayahuasca is regarded as a sacred art, a delicate dance between the natural world and the human spirit. The shaman undertakes a fast, aligning with the plants as they guide the transformation. The vine, seen as the spirit of the brew, carries the wisdom of the forest, while the Chacruna leaves open the visions. Slowly cooked together over fire, with prayer and intention, they become a living medicine.

Modern science has begun to show how this ancient brew works in the body: the Ayahuasca vine contains natural MAO inhibitors, while Chacruna provides DMT — together allowing powerful visionary states. Studies suggest it can help with depression, trauma, and addiction when used responsibly, while also enhancing feelings of connection, empathy, and meaning.

Take Part in the Brewing

Prepared with care and cooked with patience, Ayahuasca remains what it has always been: more than a drink. It is a sacred offering, a bridge between body and spirit, and a doorway into the hidden realms of consciousness. Our guests are invited to join this brewing process, preparing and cooking the medicine, and later at night drinking from the very brew they have helped create.

In conclusion, brewing Ayahuasca with fresh vines and Chacruna, nothing else, leaves in this traditional manner is a testament to the intertwining of human and plant consciousness. It is a ritual that speaks to the delicate balance between the physical and spiritual worlds, where the alchemy of the brew mirrors the transformation of the self. Rooted in purity of intention, nurtured by fasting, and guided by ancestral wisdom, this practice invites us to embrace the profound alchemy of the earth’s offerings as a means of awakening the depths of our own souls.
