Explore the profound healing potential of this sacred space in Esikaro.
Ayahuasca, an ancestral Amazonian brew, has moved beyond its origins to offer transformative benefits for mental health around the world, serving as a powerful tool in the support of depression and addiction recovery.
However, its use requires strict medical supervision. Without proper guidance, serious risks may arise, including psychotic episodes or dangerous interactions with conventional medication.
Within our association, we honor both the deep cultural legacy of this practice and its growing recognition in modern medicine. Current science increasingly supports its remarkable therapeutic potential.
Here, we share what we have learned with full transparency. We do not hide the truth, because fear of speaking keeps knowledge in the dark, while honesty brings light.
This brew is the mystical union of two plants that, when cooked together, create a synergy capable of transforming the principles, ideals, and thoughts of anyone who dares to experience it.
What makes it especially fascinating is its adaptability: in every country, the recipe changes according to the local flora. In Spain, for example, a sacred experience can be prepared using orange or lemon tree leaves for their high DMT content, combined with the San Juan plant (Imao) and other native species.
To attend these ceremonies, it is essential to be a member of our Asociación Española de Medicinas Ancestrales Internacionales (Reg 61916), a free condition that reflects our ethical commitment.
You should arrive dressed in white, bringing a towel, swimwear, and your personal hygiene kit. White symbolizes purity; dressing this way helps us set aside the personal self and connect with the magic within ourselves. We also have a pool available for a refreshing sunrise bath.
Entering these experiences of consciousness in complete calm frees us from mental fears, allowing for a clear experience that fills us with insight to understand and apply in daily life.
In addition to Ayahuasca, we will use Yopo as a spiritual purgative. It helps clear the mind and remove the toxins that block our connection with the deeper experience of the plant.
Participants will rest in our Main Hall throughout the night. This is not deep sleep, but a conscious vigil that allows you to continue perceiving the magic of the ceremony until dawn.
Sharing experiences with the same group helps us understand that unity exists only in the ego; that we are all the same consciousness and come from a single source.
We offer a carefully prepared breakfast to continue the work of the plant. At our holistic center, outside food is not allowed; only what is offered here is consumed, in respect for the sacred environment.
Ayahuasca has significant therapeutic potential for supporting depression. Its ability to induce introspective and revealing experiences can improve the emotional state of those who take it, helping reduce symptoms and explore deeper emotions.
It has also shown effectiveness in addiction treatment. It allows people to gain a broader view of their consumption patterns and understand the underlying causes of their addiction, making it easier to shift behaviors toward a more balanced life.
Thanks to its main compound, DMT, Ayahuasca produces hallucinogenic effects that trigger intense visionary experiences. This substance alters sensory and cognitive perception, creating a modified state of consciousness that gives rise to extraordinary sensations.
These profound emotional experiences help participants face aspects of life that need attention and inner work, accelerating the process of healing and self-knowledge.
