What is Ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca is a traditional healing plant
brew used for millennia by countless generations of indigenous
shamans of the Amazon in sacred ceremonies. It is a powerful
tool for self-discovery and holistic healing. Ayahuasca helps
to release unuseful patterns, gain positive energy and attract
luck. It allows individuals to connect with their inner healers
- their real selves - and obtain important guidance. By going
though the uneasy process of purification, one becomes empowered,
centered and firmly positioned on one's own path of a heart.
Sharing this positive healing energy with others helps to
heal the collective mind, which ultimately heals the Mother
Earth.
Ayahuasca Ceremonies through
Feather Crown in Ecuador
Ceremonies in Ecuador arranged by Feather
Crown are professionaly organized events held by authentic
indigenous shamans in the original setting and respecting
the traditional customs. The healers are wise community elders
and who have been working with the sacred plants since their
childhood and underwent strict shamanic initiation and received
blessings and teaching not only from human teachers, but also
from the masters of the spiritual realms. From the numerous
shamans who can be found in this area, we have selected those
who perform the most profound healings and who are prepared
to accomodate visitors. Every ceremony is well-prepared and
unique healing experience.
What does a typical Ayahuasca
ceremony look like?
Each participant of the ceremony takes
only a light lunch and then fasts until the ceremony. The
earthly-tasting drink is taken around 8-9pm and its main effects
last 3-5 hours. The ceremony is conducted in darkness during
which time, the shaman may sing or play traditional instruments.
In the altered state one receives powerful healing of the
physical, emotional and spiritual body. Normally unaccessible
knowledge is accessed. . The plants can produce visions and
visuals. The shaman gives each participant an individual "cleansing"
of the spiritual body, using the leaf fan surupanga.
The purpose of the cleansing is to expel bad spirits and attract
good ones, bring luck, protection and spiritual power. The
use of special fragrant medicinal mixtures sprayed on the
body and in the air is often part of the ceremony, and strengthens
the healing process. After ceremony, comfortable and clean
accomodation is prepared, with beds, matraces, mosquito nets.
In the morning, delicious breakfast is served by the family.

Tune up with healing singing bowls
To quiet the mind and acquire tranquility
before the intensive experience with Ayahuasca, we offer individual
sessions with antique Nepalese singing bowls. A session with
those healing tools helps to release tension and become relaxed,
harmonized and protected before the work with the plant spirits.
The session takes 45 minutes and need to be pre-arranged the
day before the ceremony.
