The Ceremony

While our overall approach is timelessly modern, the way we hold Ayahuasca ceremonies remains rooted in a traditional Peruvian lineage. We were trained directly by Shipibo, Quechua, and Asháninka teachers during long-term dietas in isolation, each lineage carrying distinct yet complementary ways of opening this sacred space.

Whereas Brazilian ceremonies can feel like vibrant celebrations and Colombian circles may carry a more masculine, drum-driven force, the Peruvian tradition we honor is quiet, inward, and spacious. A container for deep inner seeing.

A ceremony with us begins in stillness and takes place in near-complete darkness. Participants lie on comfortable mattresses, eyes closed, turning their gaze inward.

Throughout the night, master plants speak through various tools. Jungle tobacco grounds and opens each person, clarifying intention. Perfumes made from wild herbs and flowers help clear and align the subtle field.

And at the heart of it all, there are the Icaros. Songs that are not just sung but received. Each Icaro carries the frequency of particular master plants, woven with the singer’s own medicine.

They act like invisible threads: guiding, connecting, confronting. One may feel held. Another may feel challenged. And so, the Icaros become living, moving bridges between the plant world and each participant’s unique inner landscape.

Our role is to set up the safe container and then get out of the way that the plants can do the work directly through us. Ayahuasca opens the space. Tobacco gives it shape. Icaros hold the weave. And within all that, your journey unfolds.
