Futuristic plant medicine retreats on the horizon. Gonna have to spin a tale for the fam. They just won't get why I need to cleanse ancient trauma, explore the depths, and have an internal deep dive. I'm a grown-up, dammit. My life, my rules. No permission needed. #PlantPower #FamilyDrama

Amazon: Ayahuasca Ceremony

I made my way up the hill to the temple around 8.30 for my spiritual awakening. Maestro Alfredo was there waiting for me, and Rodrigo and Segundo (a guy who worked in the kitchen) were both also there. The American couple had backed out at the last moment so it would just be three of us drinking under Maestro Alfredo’s guidance. He introduced himself and told us how he had drank his first ayahuasca at 15 years old with his uncle who taught him all the shamanic practices - he is now 70 years old and has drunk ayahuasca thousands of times. Maestro Alfredo told me to trust him and our ceremony began as a torrential downpour of rain started. First he gave me a few drops of some “Amazon perfume” and I was instructed to rub it over myself. Then the cup of ayahuasca was poured. I took a whiff as I held the small wooden cup, it didn’t smell good but certainly not too bad. I was instructed to introduce myself to the ayahuasca and then drink the full cup in one go. It tasted a lot worse than it smelled so I had to do it in two sips rather than one. I sat back down, then Rodrigo and Segundo took their dose. By this time it was 9pm and the generator was turned off to throw us all into complete darkness. All there was to do now was wait, cradling my sick bucket until the aya kicked in.

The first thing I noticed was that my sense of sound was far heightened. It could’ve been the darkness or the aya, I’m not sure, but I could hear the rain as well as every other sound of the jungle like croaking frogs. I had a loud ringing in my right ear which sounded like a chainsaw - it couldn’t be, so I figured  it must be a boat. In hindsight though, it was raining so heavily and the nearest boat with an engine would have to be about a mile or two away, it was probably my imagination. I was able to slow down the individual sounds and isolate them to listen in more carefully and that’s when I really felt like I was on drugs. The shaman regularly performed songs with his “instrument”, a flax brush, and singing to Ayahuasca to give us her energy. I tried to see some visions asking Aya internally for a glimpse of my future if she would be so kind to show me. In the pitch blackness I started to see coloured outlines drawing themselves, a spark of blue and then an outline of a cat - throughout the night I saw some greens and pinks too drawing random shapes but the cats were recurring, big jungle cat faces like a jaguar, or puma. Most of the visions were hard to make out, a lot of human and animal eyes, I did make out my mum’s face at one point, as well as something else that looked like a cartoon Pokémon but there was nothing super distinct other than the multiple cats. In my head there was some shouting back and forth which sounded like a domestic argument and was kind of scary although I couldn't make out the words. I felt my stomach churning as time passed and eventually I threw up about three times which burned my throat a lot. I started to hear snippets of music in my head, they sounded like songs I’d listen to but not so familiar that I knew them. It seemed like someone had a radio on but I think it was my imagination because I wouldn’t have been able to hear it over the rain if there was one. Maestro Alfredo told me to focus on the messages in my head rather than the images, as I’d said they were weak and hard to see when he asked me what I saw/heard/felt. I thought about my mum, she is the most important. I also had thoughts about my brain not being able to trip “properly” maybe something is wired wrong or different or possibly I have a health issue? About an hour in I realised it was easier to see the visions with my eyes open just staring into the darkness because I was so tired, my body wanted to sleep but the visions are not dreams so I needed to be conscious. I would see maybe three or four continuous sparks of colour making a line drawing of a shape and then changing to another one but then it would fade out into the black. There was nothing so profound or enlightening that I saw or felt or thought and after an hour and a half it seemed to get weaker still and Maestro was closer than before. He’d sounded very far away compared to the boat/chainsaw and the rain and jungle noises when he’d been performing his songs. He said I probably could’ve taken more but he didn’t recommend it now because I’d be up for hours longer. I was tired and the waves of hot and cold had landed on cold also from the wind and rain - at 11pm I pulled on my hoody but was still cold. Wild as I had been sweating the entire time since I’d landed in Iquitos airport. I wanted to lie down in bed but Segundo and Rodrigo were still tripping hard so I had to wait about another 20 minutes for them to come down enough to be able to walk back. The walk back was tricky, pouring rain and a slippery grass slope to climb over, Rodrigo also had to stop at a tree to throw up a lot. Once I got back to my room I felt almost completely lucid though. I tried to sleep but I was still seeing a few coloured sparks trying to draw outlines, I saw a house with a straw thatched roof on fire and others I couldn’t make out before I finally drifted off feeling restless and weak.

The experience was enjoyable, but I didn't feel the enlightenment I think I was expecting from it. I had requested a lesser dose from the Maestro as I was afraid. I would try ayahuasca again, and I would take a full dose, or even slightly more, now I am not afraid of it.

Throwback to drinking Ayahuasca by the Gate of The Gods in Peru. Nobody knows how or when this 7x7m piezoelectric gate was carved into the mountain side, but the legends are intense, the locals fear it, and the experience of camping here for two weeks and having multiple ceremonies is one that’s had a profound effect on my life. The smaller gate is what they refer to as ‘The Gate of the Human’ - it has a platform to kneel on, platforms on either side to put your hands on, and a small indentation at exactly the height of Ajna / your third eye. Kneel, clear your mind, watch through your inner eye, and see what happens… I will talk about my full experience here, what I encountered and the being I met one day, on a podcast or something; it’s too transcendental for an Instagram post. #aramumuru #aramumurustargate #Peru #Puno #LateTiticaca #Aliens #AlienLife #Ayahuasca #ayahuascaceremony #MadreAyahuasca #Holyplace #Spirit #Transcendental #LASZLO #JungleLaz #Spiritual #SpiritualQuest #spiritualawakening #SpiritQuest #GateoftheGods https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJgVFALLYo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ayahuasca Retreat Journal - Peru

Day 1: Arrival

Today I arrived in Ucayali, Peru, the gateway to my Ayahuasca retreat. The air is thick and humid, a stark contrast to Long Island, New York. After a long journey, I finally reached the retreat center, nestled amidst lush greenery. The staff greeted me warmly, and a sense of peace washed over me. My room is basic but comfortable, with a mosquito net draped over the bed – a reminder of the adventure ahead.

Day 2: Introduction and Preparation

The day began with an orientation meeting. We met the facilitators, a team of experienced Western guides and indigenous healers. They explained the retreat schedule, the importance of dietary restrictions, and the significance of Ayahuasca in Shipibo culture. There was a nervous energy in the air, but also a sense of shared purpose. The afternoon was dedicated to relaxation and getting to know my fellow retreat participants. We come from all walks of life, united by a desire for introspection and healing.

Day 3: First Ceremony

Today is the night of the first ceremony. There's a mix of excitement and apprehension in the air. We gathered in the Maloca, a circular wooden structure, where the ceremonies will take place. The shaman blessed the space with chanting and the smoke of burning Palo Santo. As I drank the Ayahuasca, a bitter brew, I settled into my mat, surrendering to the experience. The journey was intense and transformative, filled with vivid imagery, emotional catharsis, and deep self-reflection.

Day 4: Integration

The afterglow of the ceremony lingers. Sharing experiences with the group was powerful and provided a safe space to process the emotional and spiritual insights gained. The facilitators led us through integration workshops, encouraging us to journal and explore the meaning of our visions. The day also included yoga and meditation sessions, helping to ground us and integrate the experience into our daily lives.

Day 5: [Optional: Ceremony or Integration Activity]

[Depending on the retreat structure, you can describe a second ceremony here, or focus on integration activities like nature walks, workshops, or solo reflection time.]

Day 6: Closing Ceremony

Tonight's closing ceremony was filled with gratitude and a sense of newfound connection with my inner self and the group. The shaman performed a cleansing ritual, and we shared our final reflections. Leaving the retreat feels bittersweet. I am forever changed by this experience, and I carry the lessons learned back into the world.

Day 7: Departure

With a heavy heart, I say goodbye to the retreat center and the newfound friends I made. As I depart Jochipapanete, I carry a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper understanding of myself. This journey has been challenging, but ultimately, a profound gift.

The Time For Me is Now

This trip has had me in all the feels and I have been trying to figure out why? Its not the first time I’ve gone away solo so that’s not it. Its not even the first time I’ve been to this country so that’s not it. Then I started thinking about how normally when I go away for this period of time it has some kind of volunteer aspect to it. Normally I’m volunteering in environmental or animal…

The Amazon's Ashaninka tribe restored their territory. Now they aim to change the region

It was just before dawn when the Ashaninka people, wearing long, tunic-like dresses, began singing traditional songs while playing drums and other instruments. The music drifted through Apiwtxa village, which had welcomed guests from Indigenous communities in Brazil and neighboring Peru, some having traveled three days. As the sun rose, they moved beneath the shadow of a huge mango tree.

The dancing, which would last until the following morning, marked the end of the annual celebration recognizing the Ashaninka territory along the winding Amonia River in the western Amazon. The multi-day, nearly around-the-clock festivities included the ritual of drinking ayahuasca, the sacred psychedelic brew, archery tournaments, climbing towering acai palm trees and face-painting with red dye.

What was once a gathering to commemorate the Ashaninka has evolved into a showcase of what they have done: the village’s self-sufficiency, which comes from growing crops and protecting its forest, is now a model for an ambitious project to help 12 Indigenous territories in western Amazon, amounting to 640,000 hectares (1.6 million acres), about the size of the U.S. state of Delaware.

In November, the Organization of Indigenous People of the Jurua River, known by the Portuguese acronym OPIRJ, secured $6.8 million in support from the Amazon Fund, the world’s largest initiative to combat rainforest deforestation. With Apiwtxa as the model, the grant is geared toward improving Indigenous land management with an emphasis on food production, cultural strengthening and forest surveillance.

“We are expanding everything that we did at Apiwxta to an entire region,” said Ashaninka and OPIRJ leader Francisco Piyãko, speaking in front of his home in Apiwtxa. “This is not only about implementing a project. What is at stake is cultural change. This is essential to protect life, the territory and its peoples.”

[zuvluguu]

One time in the beginning of my spiritual journey inwards, a light appeared before me. I asked it the most basic question that came to mind. Who are you? It spelled Zuvluguu. I wrote those letters down onto a piece of paper. When I searched the letters, I found that it was, in fact, a word. The word comes from a more ancient dialect of Mongolian. (Coincidentally Mongolian Shamanism may be the birthplace of Shamanism itself. Shamanism was developed on the basis of the belief in totemism or animism (as far as we know) since 9000 B.C.) The word Zuvluguu translates to “teacher or guide”.

By the time that i was able to translate and correlate the significance of where the word came from I had already began my journey working with plant medicines. I traveled to Peru to work with Ayahuasca, the Native Americans with Peyote, and used what i learned to create my own spaces with Psilocybin and DMT and altered states of consciousness brought on by music, dance, and meditation. I became my own teacher. As I undertook this sacred journey of exploring the depths of my own consciousness, I embodied Zuvluguu and became it.

I look back to that time with great reverance and humble respect. I worked so hard to become who I am today. Now I do my best to pay that forward to every person that comes in or out of my life. Unfortunately, very few people that are close to me will ever hear this story or understand the significance of the word. Zuvluguu. But it is very special and magical to me.

Aukia-Fanchasca/ Mareacion de Principes

by Pablo Amaringo

[chelledoggo]

Shanin Blake is like the exact opposite of George Harrison.

both are white/western people who sought out spirituality from other cultures. fundamentally there's nothing wrong with that, within reason. white people can be Hindu or Buddhist or other non-indigenous world religions if they truly have the passion for it.

the difference is that George DEDICATED himself to it - mind, heart, and soul. he was devout. he deeply studied the Hindu texts and learned from actual practitioners of Hinduism in India. not in a "oooo fun summer vacay idea" way, but in a way that reflected genuine desire to seek the divine. he used what he learned to promote hope, faith, peace, awareness, and unity in both his music and his lifestyle. he criticized egoism and made it abundantly clear that we're all one and have to see beyond ourselves. it's something you can appreciate regardless of religious beliefs.

Shanin, meanwhile, just... i dunno... got high on weed and shrooms, went down pseudo-spiritual rabbit holes decided it'd be fun to get fucked up on ayahuasca in Peru, and started wearing dreads and shoddily painted-on bindis. instead of seeking out a genuine connection with the divine, she's wearing cultures and spirituality as a costume. and what's the message in her music as a result? "i'm a goddess! i'm an alien! i can move shit with my mind and heal my own kidney disease! everything's all about me! i'm attracting that sweet girlboss abundance! i'm gonna disregard criticism and just keep the focus on me, me, me! you should do the same!"

On Tár and it's subtexts..

Krista helped Lydia find her soul. Let me explain...

We know Lydia, Krista , and Francesca had been in Peru with the shamans and had ayahuasca and knew all about their spiritual beliefs. Lydia retained these beliefs and we see it in her little rituals, brushing her energy and lighting the candles saying "Haux Haux." Lydia genuinely believed in all of that.

We hear a female shaman singing an icaro during the opening credits and Lydia is recording it. This icaro is titled Cura Mente... Mind Healing. Icaros are represented by designs called kené. That is what Krista drew in the book.

Krista gave Lydia an icaro for mental healing. This is further proven by the dedication of the book written by the author who has also hoped her ex-lover would read the book and find her tormented soul changed and free.

The same kené appears again and again with Krista's hauntings. Everything unravels. Lydia starts to express her suppressed emotions. When she realizes she had been abusive and believed to be a sexual predator, she vomits outside the massage parlor. The shamans believe purging is part of the healing. They encourage it in the ayahuasca ceremonies. Symbolically, this is Lydia's mind being cleansed. Afterwards, she is focused on sharing the joy of music with the orchestra and the audience and didn't need the beta blockers any longer.
