Episode notes
How Ayahuasca Works
- Ayahuasca is a two-plant brew combining a MAOI-containing vine and a DMT-containing plant to make DMT active orally.
- This botanical pairing is an evolutionary and cultural leap that enables powerful psychedelic experiences.
From Hesitation To Booking A Ceremony
- The host tracked ayahuasca while researching psilocybin and hesitated after hearing a chaotic recorded ceremony of vomiting and screaming.
- Later he reconnected with the medicine after hearing success stories and a local facilitator contact through his partner.
Prepare Your Space And Respect Ceremony Rules
- Prepare practical items recommended by the facilitator like yoga mats and cushions to stay comfortable during ceremony.
- Follow ceremony ground rules: stay inside, minimize noise, state intentions, and respect others' experiences.
