What equipment will I need?
For an ayahuasca retreat, here’s some essential equipment to consider:
- Comfortable Clothing: Lightweight, loose clothes (long sleeves and pants to protect from insects).
- Water Bottle: To stay hydrated.
- Sleeping Gear: A light blanket or sleeping bag for comfort during ceremonies.
- Flashlight: Preferably a headlamp with extra batteries.
- Insect Repellent: Non-toxic repellent to guard against mosquitoes.
- Personal Hygiene Items: Biodegradable soap, toothbrush, toothpaste.
- Journal: For documenting your experience.
- Rain Gear: Depending on the location, bring a poncho or umbrella.
You should also bring an open mind and mental preparation for the spiritual journey.
What kind of spending money do I need
ypically, you’ll want to budget for:
- Tips: For shamans, facilitators, or staff.
- Extras: Such as souvenirs, snacks, or additional services (massages, excursions).
- Transport: Money for taxis, local transportation, or airport transfers if not included.
- Emergency Fund: Just in case of unexpected expenses.
On average, budgeting $100 to $200 for these extras should cover most needs.
Is it safe
There are risks, especially for those with certain medical conditions (like heart issues or mental health disorders) or those taking medications that interact with the brew. It’s essential to be honest with us when conducting your pre retreat interview, and always consult a healthcare professional before participating.
