powerful, spiritual, transformative

Evolutionary Shamanism invites you to experience deeply spiritual and profoundly transformative ceremonies using the sacred medicine, Ayahuasca. This medicine, used for thousands of years in the Amazon, can be used to treat a wide variety of energetic, emotional, and physical problems and can lead to the same levels of realization as described in Eastern paths of Mysticism.

O U R   W O R K

We hold a multi-traditional approach to medicine work. While most shamans work with plant spirits, we work primarily with Deities. This adds a higher, purer energy to the space, which participants can experience as a field of love, the embrace of the Divine. Calling on allies, Gods, Goddesses, ancestors, and helpers from the plant and spirit realms, these beings empower, heal, and liberate the spirit.

We begin every ceremony with Puja, a ritual invocation of the Divine. These divine energies permeate the space and are easily seen, felt, and recognised by participants. These beings go on to infuse the ayahuasca space itself, allowing a realm of intense healing to manifest.

When travelling in the inter-dimensional realms, it is necessary to have an experienced and knowledgable guide. Safety is paramount when dealing with the unseen. In our ceremony, we offer an unprecedented degree of spiritual and energetic protection, based on over 20 years training in the world’s wisdom traditions.

We are in a precarious position at this stage of human evolution with the potential to destroy our selves unless we make a quantum leap.  This transformation needs to be done as soon as possible, and retreats are the fastest way to impowered liberation at this time.

Join us for a deep, powerfully serious, yet playful exploration of consciousness and its vast potential utilizing a variety of practices drawn from the world's wisdom traditions based in ancient knowledge with an eye towards the future. 

preparation

Enquiry is vital to all true growth, deeply, into the nature of ourselves. As is inner peace, which comes through learning to settle the mind, folding it back upon itself...so anything we find helpful in that arena is good.

We encourage having or starting a meditation practice.  Use a Metta practice to send love, care and compassion to all beings.  Practice yoga to keep the body soft and open.  Remove as much technology as possible, and spend more time in nature and self reflection.  

It's great to keep a clean, vegetable-focused diet for 2 weeks prior.

For at least seven days prior (ideally for 2 weeks), avoid

• Pork

• Red Meat

• Processed Foods

• Spices

• Fermented Foods

• Excess Salt

• Excess Sugar (i.e. candy and sweets. Fruits are okay)

• Excess Oils (i.e. fried foods)

• Recreational Alcohol and Drugs (including marijuana)

• Sexual Activity

• Dairy (48 hours before)

• Coffee can be taken up to the day before (black only, no sugar or dairy)

The cleaner you are the deeper this work can go.

We highly recommend keeping this dietary guideline at least three days after your last ceremony. This will help give you time to integrate the experience, if you are able to go longer than three days, great.

You'll have access to support staff before and after the ceremony for anything that may come up. Email us here.

ceremony

Ceremonies are held in a safe, secure environment and are kept small and intimate to ensure maximum attention to all participants.

Ceremony is conducted in noble silence, apart from the shaman who sings, chants, and prays throughout the night, calling on his tutelary spirits to heal and bless the participants.

Participants can expect a variety of effects, which vary from person to person, and depend on a number of conditions, including one's emotional psychic and spiritual health, personal metabolism, time of the month, and more.

The experience can range from strong physical purging of unwanted energies and encounters with the dark, difficult aspects of our psyche onto ecstatic visions of otherworldly temples and vast heavenly vistas. One can feel deep physical emotional energetic and spiritual purging and healing. One may see visions, laugh cry or experience a profound inner stillness.

The experience is not necessarily easy or hard, but rather a necessary event in the evolution of the soul.  No matter the experience, in these ceremonies, participants feel fully supported, held, and protected.  Whatever occurs is always for the highest good.

Immediately following the ceremony, we'll have some grounding, tea, fruit, Q+A and then rest.

In the days, weeks and months that follow, integration is a key component in order to stabilise, crystallize and energize the insights and revelations we derive from ceremony, and to give import and meaning to our lives through continual revelation.
