A number of people email me to ask if the ayahuasca healing experience, such as that offered on the Magical Earth trips (http://www.thefourgates.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=39) i run to Peru can "cure" various infirmities, illnesses, and diseases.
Of course, no-one can offer guarantees of any cure, or even tell you what a "typical" ayahuasca experience might be, because so much depends on other factors: the nature of your illness, your personality, your relationship to spirit, the shamans you work with, the amount of ayahuasca you take, the number of sessions, how the ayahuasca was prepared.... and much else besides.
i did, however, recently come across this personal account of cancer healing with ayahuasca. Again, it offers no guarantee to cure all cancer sufferers or people with any other condition, but it may be interesting in itself:
I'm also making final arrangements for our group trip to the Andes of Peru to work with the san pedro shamans, diviners, and healers of the high mountains.
This trip (The Cactus of Vision programme) is also an annual event and open to all. I have a free Information Pack if you're interested in joining us this year or next (or the year after that!) - just email me (ross@thefourgates.com) and i'll send you a copy.
The programme offers an authentic experience of Andean shamanism, including the methods, plants, rituals, and healings practiced in this region for thousands of years.
We also take care of your accommodation needs and your transportation to and from the airport and ritual sites, and provide English-speaking seminars on plant spirit shamanism to deepen your knowledge of this tradition. You can simply relax, open your heart to healing, and let the magic do its work!
Our accommodation is in the artist’s district, close to the heart of Cusco - the “centre of the world” - so you can explore Peru and enjoy its rich and extraordinary culture as well as its medicine.
It is also our policy is to offer this journey at the lowest possible price so that as many people as possible can benefit from it. I don’t think you’ll find a programme elsewhere which is as rich – or as cheap! – as ours, but if you do, let me know!
We offer two san pedro ceremonies, along with translation services and English-speaking seminars on plant spirit shamanism to deepen your knowledge and add to your insights. Also included is transportation in Cusco, as well as accommodation at our centre.
The programme also includes:
The ceremonial services of our shamans
Workshops
Group circle meetings
Coca leaf divination
Limpia: a shamanic healing and “cleansing of the soul”
Pago: a ritual of gratitude and blessings conducted at one of Cusco’s sacred sites
All of these activities and events are freely available but, of course, entirely optional and you have the freedom, if you prefer, to just chill out in relax in one of the most fascinating places on Earth!
Altogether, we think we’ve thought of everything to make your stay as memorable and rewarding as possible. All you really need do is be open to this magical event and the changes it might bring to your life.
Email me for a free Information Pack if you’re interested in joining us and experiencing plant spirit shamanism and san pedro healing for yourself.
If everyone experienced this the world would be a very different place. It has become better for me already. I strongly recommend the experience
