Unexpected Ceremony In A Tijuana Woodshop
- Mhanu chased an indigenous curandera in Tijuana for over a year before getting invited to a peyote ceremony.
- The ceremony location surprised him: a woodshop in East Tijuana with pallet-built homes nearby.
Repeated Oral Servings With Drumming
- The curandera administered crushed, dried peyote directly into participants' mouths and offered peyote tea and orange slices to wash it down.
- Servings were given multiple times during the night and the group kept drumming and shaking between servings.
Rhythm Shapes Group Energy
- The ceremony focused almost entirely on continuous drumming and maraca shaking through the night.
- Rhythm brought the group into sync once the medicine started working and shaped the whole experience.
