«When we look for an Ayahuasca retreat in Colombia, we consider many things. For example, who will be the taita leading the experience?»
Where is this place located? Is it in the jungle, or is it close to the city? What kind of diet is followed there?
It was once believed that you needed to travel to the jungle to attend an Ayahuasca retreat. However, today, many shamans live close to the city.
Many of them live near the city, preserving the gastronomic and cultural customs of their community.
They still hold the same ancestral beliefs about the plant. For example, they do not give Ayahuasca to women during their moon period, they require a diet at least one week before the ceremony, and they restrict certain medications. Additionally, participants must not use drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, or alcohol before the experience at the retreat.
Wherever you go to drink this plant, it is very important to be attended by facilitators with the necessary experience.
Additionally, the Taitas should be certified by the indigenous community to which they belong, as many people claim to be Taitas when they are not.»
It is also very important that your Ayahuasca retreat is not too close to the city, as noise and vibrations can disturb your experience.»
Additionally, it is recommended that participants choose an Ayahuasca retreat where the shaman prepares their own Ayahuasca. Why? Because most retreats today purchase the medicine from elsewhere, making the practice less safe.
It is also nice when the Taita of your Ayahuasca retreat is the one who performs the songs or Ícaros, as they help you have a deeper experience and make the place feel more authentic.
«It is also important that your Ayahuasca retreat has enough bathrooms, as most places have only one or two, which can disrupt your experience. Having to wait a long time to use the bathroom during your journey can be inconvenient.»
( 8 toilets at this place )
It is also important that your Ayahuasca retreat has open spaces in nature, as closed areas with smoke can be uncomfortable and may lead to a negative experience.»
It is also important to inform your Ayahuasca retreat about your eating habits, as vegans and vegetarians receive a different diet.
«Before attending an Ayahuasca retreat, it is very important to disclose any illnesses you have and any medications you are currently taking. This way, there will be no complications during your experience. It is also best to inform the retreat about any medical conditions to ensure clarity about your health status and prevent future issues.»
It is also important to consider how long the Ayahuasca retreat has been established and how many years of experience the Taita has in this practice. The older the retreat, the more authentic it is likely to be.»
«It is also important that when attending an Ayahuasca retreat, you focus on what truly matters. Do not prioritize unnecessary amenities such as pools, ice baths, or pool tables, as these are not part of the Ayahuasca culture. When you go to an Ayahuasca retreat, you embark on a healing journey, not a vacation.»
