Four days ayahuasca retreat

Recommendation for spiritual and mental preparation

For your spiritual and mental preparation before your retreat, we recommend you meditate, pray or any spiritual practice familiar to you from your own religion, practice, or faith. If you do not have a spiritual practice, try an honesty prayer in the morning and at night, it can be very helpful!

The best attitude to approach the retreat with is to be as positive as you can. The right attitude should include honesty, love, patience, humility, respect, courage and a strong mental / spiritual determination. Approaching the retreat with these values will result in a much more fruitful experience.
