Geraldine Johns-Putra - My ayahuasca chronicles Part 1 | S1 E14
In this episode, I discuss my experience taking the South American psychedelic brew ayahuasca in Peru in 2017.
This is the first of a multi-part series, where I introduce the basics of ayahuasca, what it is, how it's made, what to consider when choosing how and where to do ayahuasca and what attitude to bring to the ceremonies.
I recommend resources and links for anyone interested in pursuing a journey of consuming ayahuasca.
Please remember that, as a psychedelic concoction, ayahuasca is to be treated with caution so please conduct careful research. It is also illegal in many places in the world.
Show notes:
[1:49] Ayahuasca is now very well-known and kind of trendy - including amongst creative professionals and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
[3:33] Ayahuasca is both a plant (a vine) and a brew made out of that vine and a shrub. The two plants interact with each other to enable a hallucinogenic effect,
[6:28] I describe my reasons for wanting to experience ayahuasca, specifically curiosity about what is the true nature of reality and a search for personal purpose.
[11:12] A word of caution about ayahuasca - as it is a hallucinogenic concoction, it will make you unable to move without assistance so you must feel safe amongst people who are around you when you take it.
[12:59] Ayahuasca is illegal in many places in the world and although not expressly illegal in Australia, it should be assumed and treated as such. This is why I travelled to Peru where there is a legal ayahuasca tourism industry.
[14:58] I recommend a centre near Iquitos, Peru which is called the Temple of the Way of Light, with Western trained facilitators and medical staff as well as indigenous Shipibo male and female shamans, with independent reviews and recommendations I could verify.
[16:47] I travelled from Melbourne, Australia to Iquitos, Peru and made the journey by river and foot into the jungle to the centre. I followed instructions to stay away from the Internet while there and to adhere to a strict diet.
[19:03] Apart from the setting, set is also important in approaching ayahuasca - that is, mindset, For me the three important factors are: respect for ayahuasca; clarity of intention; and a courageous spirit.
