BEFORE YOU ENTER A CEREMONY -Read This
A Practical Guide to understand each Plant Medicine, How to Choose a safe Container, Recognize Red Flags in Facilitators, Preparation Tips, Ceremony Navigation
& The Importance of Integration
Plant medicine is not inherently safe simply because it is natural.
The right ceremony can become one of the most meaningful experiences of your life.
The wrong ceremony can leave lasting confusion, fear, or unnecessary trauma.
The difference often lies not in the medicine—but in the preparation, the facilitator, and the integration.
This guide gives you the knowledge to confidently choose the right path, helping you avoid common pitfalls while saving valuable time, money, and emotional distress.

Yerumael-
Before You Say Yes to a Ceremony...
Plant medicine has become increasingly popular in recent years.
Thousands of people are turning to Ayahuasca, Psilocybin Mushrooms, San Pedro, Peyote and other sacred medicines in search of healing, purpose, connection and transformation.
Yet as interest has grown, so has the number of facilitators, retreats and ceremonial spaces offering these experiences.
Unfortunately, not all of them are created with the same level of integrity, experience, preparation and care.
Many people enter ceremonies without knowing what questions to ask, how to prepare themselves, how to recognize red flags, or how to choose a facilitator who can safely hold space when things become difficult.
This guide was created to help you approach these medicines with greater discernment, confidence and respect.
Whether you are considering your first ceremony or seeking a deeper understanding of how to navigate this path safely, this guide will provide practical tools and grounded wisdom to support your journey.

What Makes This Guide Different?
This guide is not based on theory.
It is the result of two decades of direct experience.
For over twenty years I have walked the shamanic path, studying healing traditions, fasting, prayer, meditation, energy work and sacred plant medicines.
I spent ten years living and studying in the Amazon rainforest, learning directly from indigenous wisdom keepers and developing a deep relationship with these medicines beyond the growing wellness industry that now surrounds them.
I continue to follow and learn from elders who remain a true beacon of guidance in the ongoing study of these plants, and this guide brings a grounded understanding of these native traditions and translating it through a lens that is accessible and meaningful for a Western perspective.

Because I believe this knowledge should be accessible.
A single ceremony can cost hundreds—or even thousands—of euros.
If this guide helps you avoid one unsafe facilitator, choose the right medicine, or prepare more consciously, it may become one of the most valuable investments you make on your journey.
-
Then the guide has still fulfilled its purpose.
One of the most important lessons it offers is that discernment is more valuable than urgency. If, after reading it, you realize that now is not the right time—or that plant medicine may not be your path—that is just as meaningful an outcome as deciding to participate.
The goal is not to convince you to say yes. The goal is to help you make the wisest decision for yourself.
