Why this course exists

Most of what you've read
about ayahuasca is noise.

Sensational trip reports. Miracle healing claims. Untrained facilitators passing themselves off as curanderos. Content made for clicks, not for your safety. The result? Genuine curiosity gets buried under confusion, fear, and misinformation.

Deep lineage

We work with Taita Miguel, an indigenous Camsá healer from Putumayo, Colombia. This isn't wellness tourism. You'll hear directly from a tradition that has held this medicine for generations.

Simple science

Video 3 covers exactly what ayahuasca does to your brain, nervous system, and sense of self, drawn from current research, explained without hype. You'll understand the mechanism, not just the mystique.

Honest safety

Video 6 covers what almost no retreat will tell you upfront, the real risks, contraindications, and the safety framework we use to protect every person in our care. Knowledge is protection.

What most people don't know

The ayahuasca you've heard about
is probably not the real thing.

Most retreats outside the Amazon cannot serve fresh medicine. The plants don't grow there. So the brew gets boiled into paste, dried, shipped across borders, and rehydrated with water before your ceremony.

99%
of people who have tried ayahuasca have never experienced the fresh or cold-prepared form of the medicine.
Paste ayahuasca medicine
What most retreats serve

Paste Medicine

Cooked down into thick concentrate, dried, shipped across international borders, then rehydrated with water. Think of reducing a fine wine to syrup, shipping it overseas, and adding tap water. The active compounds survive. The living quality does not.

Fresh ayahuasca vine
What this course teaches you about

Fresh Medicine

Prepared in the days before ceremony from plants grown on the healer's own land. No paste. No importing. No reconstitution. Every batch made for the specific group sitting that night. This is what the medicine was always meant to be.

Crudo cold-prepared ayahuasca
Only found in Colombia
Crudo
Cold-prepared, raw ayahuasca

A form of ayahuasca that cannot leave the jungle.

Raw, uncooked, prepared by hand on stone the same way it has been done for generations. It ferments within days and cannot be transported. Lighter on the body, gentler on the stomach, and what experienced practitioners describe as cleaner in quality. You will never find this at a retreat outside Colombia.

Cooked yagé medicine
Also covered in the course

Traditional Cooked Yagé

Dark, dense, slow-cooked over open fire for hours. This is what most of the world knows as ayahuasca. When made fresh from plants at the source, it is a completely different experience from the rehydrated paste served at retreats abroad.

Lesson 1 of this free course breaks down the difference between real and fake ayahuasca, fresh and paste, cooked and cold-prepared. It is the single most important thing to understand before you consider any retreat.
