Description: Ayahuasca Ceremony or “vine of the soul” in Quechua, is shorthand for a variety of Amazonian plants and roots that shamans have been boiling down for centuries to use for healing and spiritually enlightening rituals. After being ignored and demonized by Western civilization for centuries recently there has been a huge surge of interest in Ayahuasca.

This Peru Mystic Tour is gaining acceptance as a kind of ‘medicine for our times’, giving hope to people with ‘incurable’ diseases like cancer, HIV, addiction, self-hatred, depression, hopelessness and misanthropy. Ayahuasca has been said to be inspiring answers like achieving peace and solving the problems we seem be having being good caretakers of our planet.

Ayahuasca Ceremony is not for everybody this experience should NOT be entered into without much consideration. Only those who have researched it thoroughly and read or spoke to others about their experience with Ayahuasca should consider embarking on this powerful inner journey of self-discovery. Ayahuasca Ceremony should ONLY be experienced under a trusted shaman’s guidance in a safe, controlled environment.
