Mother Ayahuasca
"The Vine of the Soul"
For centuries, various Amazonian peoples have used this drink as part of their traditional medicine, as well as in religious and spiritual rituals.
In an ayahuasca ceremony, we can journey deep within ourselves and access parts of the mind and soul, to see hidden parts of ourselves being inner conflicts, fears and difficult emotions, but also the beautiful and good parts of our life. Bringing wounded parts into a level of conscious awareness opens up profound potential for healing our body, mind and spirit.​​

Cooking The Medicine
Sowa Nete has dedicated plenty of time to producing a powerful brew consisting purely of the vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) and the visionaryy plant chacruna (Psychotria viridis). These are boiled or simmered for several hours to create a thick, brownish liquid. The combination of the plants contains the psychoactive compound DMT (dimethyltryptamine) and a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), allowing the DMT to become orally active.
Ayahuasca Ceremonies
Our ayahuasca ceremonies are held by facilitator Mario and Carolina, who get accompanied by world class healing musician Dave Perry and/or other guest facilitators. The facilitators role is to guide the ceremony in order to create the conditions necessary to bring about the most beneficial outcome possible for all those participating in the ceremony. In order to achieve this, they provide protection, guidance, and support for each individual in their journey of healing, transformation, and awakening.
Occasionally, Tobacco Mapacho is used in ceremonies, in order to protect, cleanse and purify the space and people that the facilitators find struggling and/or needing extra support.
