Psychedelic Retreat
Me 2! Supporting your eco villiage of myriad joys and healings. Viva your quest!
Having the vision (no pun intended) is the first step Rise. Sounds amazing - thanks for planting this seed in our consciousness. Just reading your post gave me great joy.
This is the dream!
So who's the 100th monkey then?...doesn't matter. I envision a different society (or at least responsibly preparing for one)! This is in the making. Your dream is my dream. The seed has really taken root by this point. My mind runs about this all day, and did most of today in fact. hmmm
Last year i did an Aya retreat with Diego Palma in Pisaq. He used to be an IT guy working long hours in Lima. He gave it up and bought some land in Pisaq where he built a house and a malocca. Now he has a thriving Aya community. He's put the money he's made doing these retreats into buying more land and a huge mallocca near his existing property - from the photos i've seen, its a malloca for the 21 century ( no more stumbling around outside in the dark trying to find the bathroom in the middle of your Aya experience!) It can happens folks - Diego is proof of that.
I love Diego Palma although for me he is somewhat of a God/Idol as I've been listening to his music for so long from this site... http://ayahuasca-wasi.com/medicine-songs/ Many of his songs are like my personal soundtrack. Really amazing. Can you say more about your experience there? Seems so perfect what he has going on there and the community developed. So if I remember right you didn't have profound visions or anything? Did others?
It was a very special week for me - started me on this journey. He is the real deal - a very genuine guy. I was the only one in the group not to have visions..! Others had quite remarkable experiences. The second ceremony was the most intense - very strong aya - the strongest that Diego and the other "elders" had ever had. Many of us had a hellish time of it and one guy ran out screaming as he faced a demon from his past but he had asked for that so he knew he was in for a rough ride. The 3rd and last ceremony was a beautiful one - even though I didn't get to "participate", I felt connected to the group as they crossed the veil and could sense that they had slipped into an amazing experience.
Yo! I heard through the Aya vine that Diego doesn't make his own brew but gets it from the Amazon Curanderos. Is this true or false? If you ever get to participate in Santo Daime you'll get to see people deal with their entities like that, it is quite normal.
From what I could see, he is way too busy to make his own brew so while I can't say 100% that he doesn't, from what others were saying after the experience with the strong brew, it certainly seemed like he gets it from someone else but the exact source I'm unaware of. Wish I had the cash to send you there - you'd love it k. It would take you to a whole different level - just the energy of the place - you'd soak it up like an entheogenic sponge. There is a guy there who is very knowledgeable about Rape' - he offered it during the middle of the 3rd Aya ceremony - the only downside is that you might not come back......
He's a friend of mine. I'll never ask money from anyone but the Mother and Father of creation, everyone else would be karmic debt. I've shifted most of my attention over to the Santo Daime and Brazil, seeing as the BRICKS orientation will soon trump card the New World Order, I see it more fit to look towards Brazil and Acre state or the island of Florianópolis. Much rather live in an intentional Santo Daime community than a retreat center. Of course where I can grow the sacred plants and first and foremost my consort on the path would only subscribe to such an agreement. Dollar gonna crash and bash and the chess players of the NWO forgot to look behind while they were looking so far ahead...
"The next Buddha will not appear in the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community that practices compassion and loving care, a community, which exercises a mindful life. This could be our most important contribution for the survival of the earth. (Thich Nhat Than)" We live in an increasingly dangerous world.....I have an idea that the ones who create the community of love and compassion will be the next evolution. Laaaaaaaaaa! Keep evolving iboga....you are on the right path Rise, props to you for starting this topic. What else ya got people!?!?!
CR and NZ are my top choices for where.. and its undoubtedly already going on in both places. MAPS has a big Ibogaine clinical study going on in NZ right now and CR has multiple retreats like this. I hope I can add something to the mix in both far apart regions one day, while I still draw breath. Sure would be cool. Oh did I mention hot tubs/ sensory deprivation floatation?
