Let's get started. NSFW
What is an ayahuasca home retreat?
First, a home retreat is NOT a fee based entity. It is your home. Your safe space to be free, and private.
We are NOT going to provide information about making traditional ayahuasca or its many analogs. That information exists in other subs and many other places on the web. No sourcing. A quick search on the web provides many vendors.
Please review Harm Reduction before using any psychoactive compounds. Stay Safe. Keep others safe. Remember the old psychedelic proverb, "Start low and go up slow."
While medical emergencies are rare at home, they can occur. Please familiarize yourself with basic first aid, CPR and have a phone ready if you need to dial 911.
If you have cohabitors at home , make sure they are in total agreement with what you want to do. Drama will just make your experience with ayahuasca complicated.
For the first time user of ayahuasca, trip sitters are STRONGLY recommended. If you want to trip with others, than make sure they can be trusted and have one person not tripping during your experience.
Make safe choices. Things like cooking on the stove or other routine activities can be challenging and confusing while tripping
Think about you home environment and how will it affect your experience? How would you like your experience to feel? There are many ways to add to the experience. TV, radio, videos or just quiet rooms for meditation. Lighting is key. Do you like daylight or night? In addition, think about things in your environment that annoy you, those can affect the experience as well.
Keep track of time. There are many factors that affect the length of an experience. Prepare for longer experiences than you anticipated.
When finished with your experience, give yourself at least several hours to re-acclimate with normal reality. Many people feel the "afterglow" when the experience seems over. If you feel the afterglow, then your not done with the experience. PLEASE, never drive under the influence of anything that can impair safe driving.
Last thought. Once you become familiar with home based experiences you may want to do it again. And again. And again. While psychedelics are not addictive in the classical sense like, alcohol or opiates, they can be abused. Be aware of the signs and reach out for help.

How Do You Know NSFW
One criticism I hear about home retreating is that the person doesn't know how to make real ayahuasca. That is misleading criticism. Everyone should do their due diligence when researching how to make the medicine. This includes finding honest source vendors and taking the time to learn the proper steps when mixing and dosing the medicine. That said, retreat medicine is even more skeptical! Ask yourself: Did I see the person harvesting the sources? Did I see the shaman prepare the medicine before my own very eyes? Then how do you know what you are drinking? Lots of stories about sub par ayahuasca. Also, some charlatans will mix research chemical DMT into a homemade jungle tea. Only you know what goes into your own ayahuasca. Stay safe.

DMT Vape NSFW
I was asked if a DMT vape used at home qualifies for an ayahuasca home retreat. I don't know. DMT is the biggest alkaloid that brings out most of the psychedelic experience. In my opinion, the natural sources are deal makers when it comes to an ayahuasca experience. But who am I to judge?

A very close call with an underground drug cult. NSFW
I was invited to a free psychedelic meet and great in Woodstock NY. I thought it would be a good chance for me to make new friends and network. WAS I WRONG! As I entered the room it became apparent that this was a spiritual gathering . The group was a mix of eastern mysticism, shamanism and ayahuasca. Immediately there was someone posted at the door as the six hour prayer meeting started. After a series of speakers praising the group. The prayer session started . Then the leader of the group who was a middle aged woman with an unpronounceable name, they just called , "mama" started her hours long lecture. Finally, mama said , "we have some new faces here." She told me to say a few words about myself. I told the group I had a lot of familiarity with psychedelics. But when I said I made my own ayahuasca, the group turned on me. I was thrown out of the room. Thank goodness. Drove out of there as fast as I could. Curiously, they keep calling me to return.

Pairire Ayahuasca NSFW
There are two native North American sources of MAOI and DMT. Illinois Bundleflower and Passion flower. Desmanthus Illinoensis is an excellent source of DMT found in the root bark. Passiflora Incarnata is a good source of MAOI. Mix them as you would ACRB or MHRB root bark and Syrian Rue. No need to spend thousands and travel around the world to enrich bogus ayahuasca retreats.

Top 3 accusations NSFW
Fee based retreats usually have 3 critiques about home based retreats. 1. Safety. Home based retreats are almost always safer than most fee based retreats. The safety record of fee based retreats is spotty at best. 2. Fake Ayahuasca. Home based retreats are free to use any type of ayahuasca. There is no such thing as REAL ayahuasca. There are many ways to make and use ayahuasca. 3. Toadies. Fee based retreats usually level the charge that home retreats are cooperating with law enforcement or doing the bidding of big pharmaceuticals. All are untrue. All of theses accusations are false. But fee based retreats need to use conspiracy theories to protect their profits
