Before participating in ayahuasca or other plant medicine ceremonies, it’s essential to be aware of certain physical, mental, and emotional conditions that may make such experiences unsafe or unsuitable. In this post, we outline the most important contraindications — such as specific medical conditions, medications, and mental health diagnoses — and explain why these factors matter. Our aim is to help you make an informed and responsible choice, ensuring your safety and supporting a positive, transformative journey.

Stepping into the world of plant medicine can feel exciting, mysterious, and maybe a little intimidating. Whether you’ve heard stories of ayahuasca in the jungle, psilocybin journeys in nature, or San Pedro ceremonies in the mountains, the calling is often the same — a quiet whisper inside saying: “There’s something more.”

There’s a quiet grief that lives in many of us — a kind of homesickness for something we can’t name. A longing for connection, for something real. And often, we think it’s just “stress,” or being tired, or not having found the right job or partner yet. But what if the thing we are really missing… is our connection to nature? Not just the trees and rivers outside of us, but our own nature within?

There’s something quietly sacred about the days before an Ayahuasca ceremony. If you’ve 
ever sat with the medicine, you may already know what I mean. And if you're new to this path, know this: the ceremony doesn’t begin when you drink the brew. It begins the moment you say “yes” to the journey.
