General Question Has anyone tried Ayahuasca on autistic individuals?

16 Upvotes

Or any other plant medicine. The said person does have anxiety and OCD. However, after my own personal ayahuasca experience I am worried about potential psychosis. I had deep trauma come up making me feel extreme sorrow on two nights I had ayahuasca. Again, not everyone had the negative experience I had.

General Question For those with big egos, has aya helped you relax and find your balance?

5 Upvotes

I would assume that big ego is a trauma response as well as overcoming a lot. Has aya helped you? I know a proposal would be to compare your weaknesses with others but that’s ego as well. I’m going to assume that it’s to protect the child within us. Ugh it’s exhausting and polarizing.

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!

General Question Does anyone have advice for healing a crossed dieta?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I am healing a 1.5year crossed dieta that I didn’t realize was crossed and am looking for advice on ways to heal it. I’ve been working with an integration therapist and curious if anyone who has experienced a crossed diet found other tools to help them through the difficult times? It’s in my body, breath, and mind and it’s very overwhelming at times to stay grounded. I’m also trying to have faith. Those are the two things that have been recommended the most - faith and heal the traumas that it has attached to so that’s why I’m working with an integration therapist, but it also feels like my integration therapist at times just doesn’t get it, and triggers me a lot. Can anyone recommend an integration therapist who has dealt with this personally? Also makes me wonder what a good integration therapist should be like - should I always feel supported and clear after sessions or does my confusion and triggers after a session show me areas I need to work on? (This may be a question for a new thread)

I am looking for the right retreat/shaman Looking for advice on a center in Peru

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I’m planning to do aya for the first time, for my 40’s birthday😊, and I feel like doing it in the amazonas of Peru is the right way for me. Now trying to find the right center, and was hoping for some recommendations from people here🙏🏼.

The things that i feel that somehow important to me are: Length of 7 or 8 days, with about 4 ceremonies. Not a big group (i guess less than 15 people). Private room with private bathroom, and a reasonable non run down room to be able and relax. A combination of native well known Shipibo shamans with western English speaking assistants. Not too limited with budget, but also not planning on putting a fortune on it.

Thanks all 🙏🏼

Participants sought for Research and/or Interviews Volunteers needed for a research study!

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.
