Breathwork has become such a popularized topic over the last decade, partly because it is an easy point to pedal but a hard truth to ride. What I wish here is to "demythisize" it. We as a species have a tendency to get caught in the novelty of yet another course unfortunately missing respect for the depth it can bring. This is a hard thing to say on one level because we came from generations of no breathwork (as if it’s work , breath is instinctive and requires a lot to stop it) "The real effort is in the attention which we combine with our breath as a form of remembrance." Like generations o ..read more

The pricing of Ayahuasca retreats has been a topic of great controversy in the medicine world. The vast ray of responses have created much debate on this issue. Should Ayahuasca be free? It starts from the beginning that Ayahuasca should be free and that it is a gift that should not be tainted by the influence of money. This blended with the notions that arrived from a kind of hippy influence, that stated that I have no money or little, I cannot afford it so it should be free or close to that figure. And in a perfect world free is always preferable option. Let's look into where it comes from ..read more

Ayahuasca is a medicinal brew of the South American Shamans. it is a mixture of two plants , the vine from which it gets its name (Banisteriopsis caapi) and chacruna (Psychotria viridis ). The vine contains the ingredients that allow our body to digest the light elements of Ayahuasca and the leaves of the chacruna contain the DMT.

One of the main reasons we come to Ayahuasca for - is desire for change in the circumstances of our life. Whether beforehand we had things we wanted to change, or just a series of obscure reasons that we refer to as a calling - and all of a sudden we find ourselves in a ceremony. It is within this field of the Ayahuasca ceremony that we enter the arena of possible transformation. One of the first things Ayahuasca does - is remove obstacles that are in the way of change. Sometimes this makes you see things that we do not want to, to meet things we do not want to and the result is being introdu ..read more

There is a social evolution going on at the moment and we are in a midpoint, I say midpoint because as I see it we have come so far but have just as far to go. And this has to do with the so called equality between the sexes. For the last century or so we have been progressing in leaps and bounds at a snails pace. But this pace is both fast and slow. We are an immense social juggernaut moving through time. HIS-story and slow emergence of the Feminine So let me first paint a picture, history (HIS-story) of the world is painted largely by men, the religions, economics, wars, class structure, edu ..read more

We are currently in an age where we experience a convergence of many spiritual paths combined with the awakening of synergistic plant “medicines” such as Ayahuasca and San Pedro. The term 'MEDICINE' has been applied as a western form of expression for how these plants heal the mental and physical scarring of our human ways.

One of the common thing that I notice when one leaves the ceremony gets back home, we are shrouded in the excitement of the process. And this is rightly so, it often has the characteristics of a new love. Its all consuming like the of lighting a fire and you are throwing your life onto this fire. Ayahuasca is a light, a luminous body that opens up dark corners in your world. It is a process of psychological and energetic blending as well, it is the sum total of your life that is placed in this blending process and it a transformation in an alchemical retort. Many times what arises are changes ..read more

How can Ayahuasca Bring about a Deep Seated sense of Meaning and Purpose in Life?
Shamballa Retreats Blog
by Shamballa Retreats

This is a really important question to explore collectively as more and more people have experiences inside the field of Ayahuasca, and purpose of our lives is often the underlying motive underneath all the search. Of course the question of purpose can only arise if we had done a reasonable amount of work on ourselves as well as healing and understanding our scars. ,There’s a certain percentage of healing that we need to go through in order to create the base foundations for us to orientate towards purpose. We all may not be Buddha in this life, but we all can strive for love and happiness. O ..read more
