Preparation is an essential part of the journey.
Safety. Care. Responsibility.
Preparation is an essential part of the journey. The work begins long before arriving in the Amazon and continues well beyond the ceremonies themselves.
Before joining a retreat or submitting an application, we ask you to carefully read the preparation and medical information provided below.
Preparation and Medical Information
A fundamental part of the Amaayahuasca journey
A conscious and honest preparation is an essential part of this work. The process does not begin with the first ceremony, but long before arrival, and it continues well beyond the time spent in the Amazon.
This path asks for sincerity, responsibility, and a willingness to listen. It is not about seeking quick answers or solutions, but about entering a process with care, awareness, and respect for oneself, the medicine, and the collective space in which the work is held.
Mental Preparation
What is your intention?
Your intention forms the foundation of your inner work. It offers orientation and supports the process throughout your journey. Intentions may be physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual in nature, and they are allowed to evolve over time. Adjustments are part of the process and always welcome.
This work requires openness and honesty. Rather than focusing on outcomes, it invites presence and engagement with what arises. Each journey is individual, and no intention is more valid than another, as long as it comes from sincerity and readiness.
Responsibility and Process
Amaayahuasca is not a service to be consumed, but a shared process held with care and integrity. Entering this space means taking responsibility for your own physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.
This includes honest communication, respect for boundaries, and trust in the guidance provided. Preparation supports not only your personal journey, but also the safety and coherence of the group as a whole.

Recreational Substances
Please disclose any current or past use of recreational substances such as psilocybin, iboga, MDMA, or others. Transparency is essential for your safety and for the integrity of the process.
Closing Statement
Entering this space means committing to your own process with honesty and responsibility. It also means honoring the medicine, the tradition, and the collective field in which the work is held.
By choosing to participate, you acknowledge the importance of preparation, medical transparency, and respectful engagement as essential parts of the Amaayahuasca journey.
