4 – Ceremony & Aftercare
'An environment where you feel comfortable'
The Ayahuasca should not be consumed without guidance, nor simply with a “trip sitter.” The ritual must be led by a experienced process facilitator or process therapist. This individual should be an experienced Ayahuasca drinker who has regularly cleansed themselves and has a deep understanding of working with plants and people.
Rituals, ceremonies, or process journeys can vary significantly depending on the plant facilitator. Each facilitator / plant worker brings their own energy and perspective to the experience.
What an Ayahuasca session may look like
1. Welcome participants
Participants will receive a warm welcome, accommodation will be shown as well as the sleeping quarters. There will be time to settle in and to get to know the other participants.
2. Introduction & sharing circle
As a group, participants share their intentions, which may be explored further by the plant facilitator for additional support.
The process facilitator will provide information about the plants and their approach to working with them.
The spiritual and therapeutic aspects of Ayahuasca may be discussed, although this varies depending on their approach.
Practical information is often shared, such as house rules and what is and isn’t allowed. Following this, participants have time to prepare for the Ayahuasca session, which takes place in a ceremony room*.
*A ceremony room is a calm, safe space where the inner work occurs.
3. Body work
In some Ayahuasca sessions, body work and/or group exercises may take place before or between the ceremonies.
These can vary from breathwork, birth exercises, and focus exercises to regression practices. These methods are often valuable and shed light on the themes where you may feel stuck, blocked, or have questions.
4. Opening ceremony
It often begins with a prayer and/or expression of gratitude, with each participant seated in the circle.
Occasionally, songs are sung to invoke safety, support, and trust. Afterward, the Ayahuasca is consumed.
5. The Ayahuasca ceremony
Ayahuasca will start working after about 20 minutes.
During the ceremony, suitable music is played, ideally interspersed with live music, singing, moments of silence, and empowering prayers. The process is adapted to the energy, therefore is each ritual unique.
After 2.5 / 3 hours a second round of drinking follows. If necessary, a short “check-in” with the participants by the process facilitator takes place.
Typically, especially for those drinking Ayahuasca for the first time, further physical cleansing will occur from this point onward. This is a purification on emotional and physical level. This often occurs via vomiting or going to the toilet.
In most cases this is accompanied by a liberating feeling. Literally surrendering to oneself. After this, one usually gets deeper into his process.
Music and playing instruments continues to align with what is appropriate.
6. Closing ceremony
The ceremony ends after 6-7 hours. Participants will be informed in advance that the ceremony is coming to an end within a specified timeframe.
After closing the ceremony there will be food.
After this, people go to sleep. The integration and sharing sessions in group setting will take place the next morning after breakfast.

Don’t judge, learn to listen, especially to the silence within yourself. This foundation holds all the answers.
The right moment to take off your mask is now. Learn to be open to yourself and others.

We are all the same. However, everyone learns at their own pace with their own lessons to be learned.

"Integration sessions and aftercare are important"
Integration sessions
The day after the Ayahuasca ritual, a joint integration session is held where participants share their inner journeys. Ayahuasca has the ability to bring experiences back to life on emotional, visual, and physical levels. Participants re-experience situations, however this time with awareness. Ayahuasca excels at influencing different themes and situations, which might not be immediately clear.
With their specific knowledge, experience and therapeutic background, the process facilitator support the participants in finding answers. During these integration sessions participants gain deeper insights. Therefore these integration sessions are incredibly valuable.
Participants often resonate with each other’s stories which helps their own process.
Aftercare
During the closing sessions, advice is given on how to spend the coming period, how to keep focus and how to create space for integration.
It’s customary that participants receive an aftercare email containing valuable recommendations and discussed information.
This is often followed by a phone call for more personal aftercare, where additional steps can be addressed.
Note! In the aftercare information, a competent facilitator will emphasize that the real work takes place in the day to day life. Here we face ourselves and awareness unfolds.
Integrating means applying what you’ve learned both physically and mentally in your life. Changing old behavior, believes and ways of thinking.
Ayahuasca can help you see, feel, and experience your lessons and needs with great clarity. This can lead to a positive life-changing transformation in a very short time.
However, the ultimate change lies with the participant, the desire and willingness to integrate it into daily life. This is a practice that requires attention, time, and space.
