Yagé

A Journey into the Mind and Soul

The sacred plants of the Peruvian Amazon are medicines; they are not drugs. They require us to commit to a journey with them; to healing and restoring the body’s deepest dysfunction. Such deep healing requires patience, trust, and courage.

Upon first taking Yagé, you may not experience the visions that you have read of in books or heard about from others. Yagé’s effects within your body may be subtle and may take time to manifest as visions or an altered state of consciousness. This is normal. Healing cannot be forced.

The body will need to cleanse and rid itself of anything that is obstructing its ability to heal before it can receive the wisdom necessary to effect lasting and remarkable change.

This is why we will propose to you to take part of a sacred Kambo ceremony to make the most of your Yagé healing/transformative journey.

Cleansing is often a painful and unpleasant experience. Cleansing can take the form of vomiting, diarrhea, crying, screaming, angry outbursts and laughing.

The body, when invited to let go of all that is not serving it, will do so in the most efficient way possible. It’s important to trust in the cleansing process as it too has wisdom for us, that is if we’re willing to surrender to and receive it.

Plant medicine alone will not transform you. Healing will occur in time, in proportion to your willingness to let go of all that is preventing you from realizing your true potential. For many, natural plant medicines act as a catalyst to bring about lasting change that is sustained through discipline and overhauling of one’s lifestyle habits. Before attending a Yagé retreat, it’s important to be clear with yourself about your willingness to do whatever it takes to effect the change you are seeking.

The Elixir of the Gods

Yagé, often referred to as "the vine of the soul" or "the elixir of the gods," is a mysterious and potent concoction crafted from two primary ingredients: the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the leaves of the Psychotria viridis plant. Indigenous Amazonian tribes have been using this revered brew for generations, believing it to be a conduit to the divine, a teacher of ancient wisdom, and a healer of both body and spirit.

The Journey Within: A Profound Exploration

The experience of consuming Yagé is not a mere hallucinogenic trip; it is a profound journey within. It offers individuals a unique opportunity to confront their deepest fears, unresolved traumas, and suppressed emotions. Under the guidance of experienced shamans, participants often report experiencing vivid visions and intense introspection, allowing them to unravel the complexities of their psyche.
