Ayahuasca Trip

[deviadah]

I propose that a group of people go to Brazil with the purpose of partaking in some ayahuasca deep in the Amazon jungle. It should be a very magical experience indeed. And remember even if you go it doesn't mean that you will have to take ayahuasca, the jungle itself is, I am sure, quite magical on its own.

If there is a genuine interest in this then this thread can be used to discuss, prepare and organize this trip.

There are several Q that needs answers: When? Where? Who? (for instance)

The link below seems a bit too tourist for my liking:

A friend of a friend did it in Peru. She totally rated her experience when I met her. I could try getting in contact with her and finding out the details.

Its the only drug I would be interested in taking these days. To take it in the company of fellow esoterics from all corners of the earth would be something to experience indeed.

Yes, it would be quite an experience, but to value being with 'fellow esoterics from all corners of the earth' above being with the indigenous peoples that have a real tradition and experience with it may be somewhat a mistake. I am all for meeting up and going as a group, but only if it doesn't detract from experiencing and learning about it in its traditional context, even if that context has been polluted with Catholic ideas in some ways. Reason being, is set, setting and dose. Not only will they be more clued up on the correct dose, they will also have more experience in creating the right set (mind state) and setting to give the trip its best effect.

Forgive me,Anton,but I simply assumed that taking it in the traditional way with indigenous people was implicit in Deviadah's suggestion.
And being a child of Mercury one of the greatest pleasures for me is in communicating and experiencing life with people of similar interests.
My interests,like yours,being quite particular.

Sorry, of course. Forgive me for being over zealous. I've just seen it too many times where those in western occult traditions are so busy imposing their own tradition on all they experience that they fail to fully open up and connect with something very real under their nose. I wasn't attacking you, or didn't mean to be at any rate, just trying to voice a very real concern.

Of course it will be nice to do it with others of like mind.

[deviadah]

Yes, I think you both misunderstood each other. I am of the same faith. Meet up together as a western group but do the TRIP in the original native way... I am not going down there to party... but to be a part of a sacred experience!

Anything else would be murder on my personal moral!

[monkeyblood]

I would expect nothing less from you,Deviadah.

My interest in ayahuasca was first piqued by David Icke,of all people,when he described his ayahuasca experience in his book,'Infinite love is the only truth,everything else is illusion'.
The experience had a profound effect on him and has taken him to a new and greater understanding.I was very impressed with what he wrote about the experience and also the direction it is now taking him in.

I dont know if there are travel groups that organise this sort of thing,there must be I guess.

[monkeyblood]

And yes,Anton,that concern of yours is a very real one.

I think respect for the indigenous culture is an important aspect of the experience.
As are the people you have with you.

I think partytime should be saved for Burning Man.Or Mardi Gras.

[monkeyblood]

So shall we do this thing,then?

[Anibis]

It is most do-able. I know of people, too, but am not in a position to arrange anything... I plan on going sometime in the next few years if I can afford the time off of work...

Naturally, but it requires planning.

1. Where to go?
2. What tribe?
3. When?

And those are just the first threshold to get over...

[monkeyblood]

Yes,its all the detail and research in the planning that seems a little overwhelming but I like putting things like this into existence.Putting the ability to manifest into action.
