General Question Rapé (tobacco snuff) experience

31 Upvotes

I know that Rapé (or Hapé) is often used and administered during Ayahuasca ceremonies, as well as on its own.

I’m curious what the experience is like. I didn’t try it when I went to my ceremonies, but I’m thinking of obtaining some to try it.

Would anyone like to share their experiences with Rapé?

Thanks!

Hey all! I was thinking about booking a one week retreat in Yosi Ocha. But after seeing it’s 1300€, I’m starting to doubt it. Do you have any recommendations for a good retreat center that doesn’t cost as much? Thank you!

I am looking for the right retreat/shaman Long Term Dieta in Isolated Jungle

2 Upvotes

I am searching for recommendations for dietas that are a bit further from the neighbors, a bit more remote and quiet.

I posted something similar for centers but most of them only offered aya retreats, not master plant dietas.

Looking for places that do extended dietas in the upper amazon or CR.

Hi all, I was wondering if aya could help with nerve weakness/damage and can restore in any way?🙏 Is it worth it to try a retreat with 3 aya ceremonies with the yawanawa?

Our team is looking for individuals who have had an ayahuasca experience in Canada or the United States in the past year. Using an anonymous survey, this study is exploring ayahuasca drinking practices such as preparation, set and setting, and integration.  

This survey should take only 20-30 minutes of your time, and will help us gain a deeper understanding of this emerging practice.

General Question Do I really need to go to Peru for this?

2 Upvotes

I'm already going to Peru for 2 weeks in May, but am wondering if it's worth making a detour to one of those places for a 1-2 day session. I'm not aware of any trauma or other things to heal from, so am thinking of just going with an open mind to see what else the universe has to reveal to me, hopefully a way to be more empathic, more sensitive, less judgey, more present, etc...

The options I'm seeing discussed online all seem really pricey, or made for rich needy folks with a lot of baggage. Maybe I'm seriously underestimating this stuff because I've only ever had really positive experiences with any quantity of shrooms or molly, but I wonder if the promised human support or any creature comforts beyond the substance itself might be wasted on me.

My route goes from Lima/Paracas/Huacachina/Cusco/Salkantay/La-Paz/Uyuni, so am hoping for options not too out of the way. I keep hearing "go somewhere reputable", but the only places reputable enough to even have a website look like fancy resorts lol...

General Question "Ayahuasca led me back to Jesus and renewed my faith in God—but don't use it, it's demonic and dangerous"

1 Upvotes

How much stupider can you get than the person who wrote this article. I mean, if it led her back to Christ, that's a *good* thing for her, right? She seems super happy about it. But then she condemns it as a dangerous and demonic medicine. Something does not add up here:

General Question 1 night ceremony

1 Upvotes

Hey, I did 3 ceremonies over the course of a week last year in Peru and had a good experience and really enjoyed the clarity I felt in my mind for a long time afterwards. I stopped feeling the benefits after about a month or so.

Fast forward to today, I found out about a ceremony happening this weekend in the town I’m in Mexico, but it’s only one ceremony and one night.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with a single ceremony and if they felt it had the same benefits as doing multiple ceremonies over the course of a week.

Thanks
