Getting ready for the Ayahuasca experience

How to prepare for a ceremony

Things recommended to bring:

  • Long-sleeved lighweight quick-dry clothing, including socks
  • Fleece jacket / light sweater / poncho
  • Umbrella / rain jacket
  • Head protection against sun
  • Flashlight
  • Mosquito repelent (DEET in spray)
  • Pencil and paper
  • Backup clothing
  • Camera / Video camera / Voice recorder
  • A few pieces of fruit

Ideal gifts for the shaman (optional)

  • A bottle of Agua Florida perfumed water
  • Marlboro cigarettes
  • A bunch of tilapia fish
  • A bag of vegetables

What to eat before Ayahusca ceremony

To get the full medicinal effect of the Ayahuasca brew, it is recommended to eat lightly during the 3 days prior to the ceremony. Avoid overeating, eating "junk" and fatty food. Drink plenty of water and preferably eat only healthy food with vegetables and fruit. On the day of the ceremony, eat only a light breakfast and light lunch. The best option might be to have a light oatmeal breakfast and then a few pieces of fruit or fresh fruit juice for lunch, and then fast for the rest of the day. The last meal should be no later than at 2pm. We do not recommend fasting the whole day of the ceremony.

Other taboos

Please refrain from having sex or drinking alcohol 3 days prior to the ceremony.

Note

While interacting with taxi drivers, hotel owners, restaurant staff, all shamans in the area and other people you don't know well, please be confidental about your plans to work with Ayahuasca through Feather Crown. We don't want to be famous and thus generate envy amongst the shamans or associations.

TESTIMONIES

"Attending Jan's workshop in the Amazon is one of the best things I've ever done in my entire life. Having participated and studied in Shamanism the last 15 years, and lead many groups myself, I was impressed (to say the least) at how Jan managed to take care of every detail in way that made it all seem easy. Everything that was promised was delivered, including incredible excursions to places of power, excellent meals, and knowledge about the plants. We also had just the right amount of free time to be able to hang out (alone or with each other) and process all the beautiful gifts we were receiving. The Shaman (Don Lucho) was amazing; gentle and yet powerful, he was very available to us, and we loved every minute of his presence. Since my return, everyone has commented on the positive changes that have taken place in me. A big, big thanks to Jan, Don Lucho, and his family, who really did an excellent job taking care of us all and sharing their incredible knowledge with us. I feel I got incredible value for my money, and would go back in a second, and recommend this experience to anyone sincerely interested in personal growth." -Antonio A., Canada
