Retreat with conscious use of Master Plants
From 6 to 8 October in Sierra de Cádiz
We invite you to this meeting of connection and healing of the soul in which we will enter into the Great Mystery through the Ancient Wisdom and the knowledge of the Plants.
Purpose
In this meeting, Nature and ancestral remedies are summoned to clear the Path and to be able to enter the spaces of the Heart, which we sometimes do not explore in the eagerness of Life. But Life itself has left us in the Plants a route of remembrance, so that once the Path is opened, you can return to the Garden of the Heart, without needing to depend on anyone or anything, to be a happy and abundant person.
This retreat is designed to take you on a medicinal route through:
Altar of ancestral remedies
Journey and experience of Amazonian and ancestral medicine.
The meeting
A space of non-judgement where we all come to open our hearts and accompany each other in love.
Sharing circle
Materialising through our voices the feelings and comprehensions that we receive through opening up.
The weaving of history
A vision into the past of everything that brought us to the present moment, giving coherence to what happened.
Reading the territory
A connection with the land where we are, to comprehend how we relate to it.
Songs and meditations
A moment in which the being manifests itself by awakening a vibratory state of presence and expansion.
Conscious eating
Becoming aware of the physiological and emotional sensations of the process of eating.
Master Plants
Guardians of ancestral wisdom, they have been used throughout history by different indigenous cultures as portals to a deeper comprehension of nature and the human being. They have the power to open the doors of perception, providing visions and experiences that transcend the limits of the ordinary. Each with its own properties and effects, guiding us on a journey into the inner consciousness and the heart, and inviting us to explore the connection between heaven and earth.
On this tour, we will explore these plants one by one, unravelling their secrets and revealing the depths of their influence on spirituality, healing and knowledge. For this, we will be assisted by:
Ayahuasca,
It helps us to look at Reality in a different way, being used to heal and cure physical and spiritual ailments, to clear the Mind and to gain a completely new way of perception and focus.
Rapé
A remedy originating from grandfather tobacco, it offers us an order to gestate clear and concise ideas, decalcifying the pineal gland, renewing both physical and spiritual health and giving clarity of thought.
Ambil
It activates our senses and gives us mental clarity, regulates blood pressure and is an excellent antioxidant.
Kambo
A remedy to restore the body, strengthening the immune system and providing psycho-spiritual benefits.
All this and more to celebrate Life with full activation, to transform from the Heart everything that needs to be put into order.
*Kambo is not included in the cost of the retreat. It is a complementary remedy that can be requested separately at an additional cost.
Facilitators
Carlos
Having trained in Zen Buddhism and Eastern philosophy since my adolescence, in my youth I followed the path of shamanism which led me to the knowledge of the Master Plants and their wisdom.
Through my personal process of awareness and liberation, I was able to walk a path where I became coherent with my Self. And through this knowledge, today I can share healing and awareness.
My purpose is to accompany people to rediscover themselves in order to live in harmony with themselves and with nature.

Frequently asked questions
Is it necessary to follow a diet beforehand?
Yes, it is common and widely recommended to follow a diet at least 3-4 days before taking ayahuasca.
The diet aims to prepare the body and mind for the ayahuasca experience, as this medicinal plant can interact with certain foods and medicines, and the diet can help to avoid complications or discomfort during the ceremony. In addition, the diet can facilitate a deeper connection to the medicine and the purification process.
Here is a general guide to the recommended diet and the foods that are not recommended before taking ayahuasca:
Recommended diet before ayahuasca:

If you are taking prescription medications, it is important to consult with a health professional about whether it is safe to temporarily discontinue their use.
Light foodsOpt for a light and simple diet to facilitate purification and avoid stomach upset. This includes fresh vegetables, fruits, light soups and whole grains.
Avoid processed foods and high-fat foods.Avoid processed, fried or high-fat foods, as they can hinder digestion and the experience during the ceremony.
Avoid stimulant foodsAvoid foods containing caffeine, such as coffee, tea and chocolate, as they can interfere with the ayahuasca process and affect the quality of the experience.
Avoid foods rich in tyramineTyramine is an amino acid found in certain foods that can interact with ayahuasca, potentially causing unwanted side effects. Examples are aged cheeses, sausages, red wine and fermented foods.
Avoid foods rich in tyryptophanTryptophan is an amino acid found in certain foods and can influence serotonin in the body. It is advisable to avoid foods rich in tryptophan before the ayahuasca ceremony. Examples are turkey, chicken, bananas and dairy products.

The following are some of the most important contraindications for taking master plants:
Heart disease and high blood pressureThese remedies may have stimulating effects on the cardiovascular system, which could be risky for people with heart problems or high blood pressure.
Psychiatric disordersPeople who have a history of psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or severe anxiety and depressive disorders, should avoid using these plants, as they may exacerbate these disorders.
Use of medicines and drugsSome drugs can interact negatively with ayahuasca, especially those that affect the central nervous system or serotonin. It is also important to avoid taking other drugs before or during ayahuasca.
PregnancyPregnant women should avoid consumption due to possible unknown effects on the foetus.
BreastfeedingNot recommended for use during breast-feeding, as the active ingredients may pass into breast milk and affect the baby.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitor drugs (MAOIs)Ayahuasca contains components that can interact with MAOIs, a class of drugs used to treat depression and other disorders. Combining these plants with MAOIs can cause dangerous reactions.
