Ancestral medicine
Ayahuasca
Ceremonies around the fire with live music and an immersive soundscape, with ayahuasca we prepare ourselves.
What is ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca is a sacred brew from the Amazon, prepared with the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and chacruna leaves (Psychotria viridis). Indigenous peoples of the rainforest have used it for centuries as a medicine of the spirit: to heal, to see clearly and to reconnect with nature.
Many call it “grandmother” or “mother”: a teacher who, according to tradition, shows each person what they need to see. In Brazil it is also part of recognized spiritual traditions such as Santo Daime and the União do Vegetal.
