Shamballa Ayahuasca Retreats

Currently we are in a “Psychedelic Renaissance”, busy stocking the shelves with all manner of secrets. It is quite apparent that from beginning of our history as a species, all cultures have immersed themselves in this parallel world. What sets this time apart is the rapid acceleration into this field, the exploration of meanings. In a world of evolutionary change, we are immersed in the “IT” like a ball floating in a large ocean, our personality is exposed to the elements on one part to the sky the light the mood swings of the sun and elements. And our essence dwells in the depths of our ancestral ocean of unknown. We are a being who lives in multiple worlds. Our mind serves as a door way into a multidimensional field from which we can transverse and explore within. Medicine work in one part a healing, but I’m going to leave that for a moment and touch on the realms of mystical travel. Briefly once we gain a grasp how to enter and leave through this gate, we can begin to...

  One of the common thing that I notice when one leaves the ayahuasca 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 that you may or may not feel immediately comfortable grasping. This alchemical process is real you are the major ingredient in the process, it takes large slices of your life that consume energise that serve no purpose in you psychological process, pulverises them mixes them with a good dose of humility and love and hopes the seeds of growth will bring personal understandin...

  It arises the complete woman not the shadow of our society and expectations, not the generations of conformity, suppression and vision through male eyes. This full woman, the woman of the breast and the sacred door of sex and birth, the heart of intuition and the strength through birth of a warrior. The intuitive heart which is an arrow of great speed and reaches it target of truth, I love the cutting perception of a woman. Our children are what we pass on, it is not the fear, grief or loss of our previous upbringing that comes now to the forefront. It is the necessity to embrace the mould of strength, flexibility, love understanding compassion that enables the true spirit to come through. We need to engender these in ourselves so as to pass them on to our children through example. You child listens to your words but understands through your behaviour. You are imprinting your action your understanding on that new soul. The best inheritance of a mother to her children, grandchi...

  Becoming curious about and “staying with” a difficult thought, feeling, or bodily sensation is not the same as passively wallowing in it, becoming flooded by it, merging with it, becoming enmeshed in, or fusing with it. The invitation is into a very pregnant, creative, and not easy middle territory in between engulfment and the other extreme of rejection, turning from the life that is emerging, and abandoning ourselves in moments of emotional activation. Navigating and holding the tension of those opposites is a much more fiery, active process rooted in the aliveness of our attention, care, compassion, and interest in psyche and its manifestations. It is oriented in curiosity and the longing to care for ourselves in a new way. In this we dare to consider that even our most challenging symptoms, emotions, recurring thought patterns, vulnerabilities, and sensitivities are intelligent, filled with sacred data, and worthy of our tending. We must go slow as we explore this new landsca...
