Niiiiiiice, I'm excited for this, I went to Peru two years ago, didn't do ayahuasca, but I worked with a shaman who made a brew with huachuma, a cactus. We also culminated the trip with vilca, an ancient plant medicine from I believe the toltec tradition(don't quote me) and it was life changing.
I really want to try aya one day
Sweet, really glad to hear you're familiar with plant medicine @jakeybrown! Huachuma is also called San Pedro and they call him Grandfather. I love him too :)
I have not heard about vilca though I'm interested to learn more about it!
Vilca, the transitory bridge between life and death, is made from the seeds of a south american tree. We snuffed the ground up seeds during ceremony and immediately went to lie dow, good thing because next thing you know your body is "shutting down". Heart and breathrate slowed to a crawl and then magical things happen that are difficult to describe. Definitely the most powerful experience I've had other than salvia which is maybe too intense when smoked. I'll be doing a write-up here shortly on my Peru trip :)
Mmmmmmm sounds profound!! I'm looking forward to hearing about your trip. Where did you go in Peru, @jakeybrown?
I went to spiritquest sanctuary near iquitos, it was a great experience, quality facility and people :)
