“The Mother”
Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca, is also called the vine of the soul, is an ancient plant medicine that has been used for many centuries by the indigenous people of the Upper Amazon.
The Ayahuasca brew is made from two different plants, the Ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) and the leaves of the chacruna plant (Psychotria viridis).
From experience, I came to learn that ayahuasca bestows upon the user knowledge about a variety of topics, not only consciousness and perception, but also leads one to realize that what we perceive is an illusion.

The Healing Power
Of Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is a powerful teacher and one of the most powerful and well-known natural occurring entheogen known to man.
Traditionally used as a diagnostic tool to solving energetic damage, physical illness or guidance from spirits on essential decisions for the whole community.
The use of Ayahuasca, in combination with other plant teachers, has now evolved and it’s primarily used as a healing treatment to re-balance body, mind and spirit.
When working with ayahuasca one may experience boundaries dissolving creating an entry to the inner worlds helping one reconnect with their inner god/goddess.
Through the act of surrendering and letting go of layers and layers of what no longer serves us, the ayahuasca experience serves as a purification process.
On the physical plane, the healing power of the plants can induce vomiting, nausea, or increased bowl movements. For this reason, Ayahuasca is also commonly referred to as “La Purga” (the purge).
Ayahuasca is a catalyst for profound transformation, and according to most of the users, it can be one of the most powerful and unforgettable experiences of one’s life.
“Ayahuasca is a symbiotic ally of the human species.”

Traditional Ceremonies in the Shipibo Way
At Sanken Nete , we follow the authentic and ancestral Shipibo Way.
Elisa and her family of Curanderos conduct the ceremony in the traditional Shipibo Way. A particular emphasis is put on the Icaros, the traditional songs used to invoke and connect with the spirits. During the night, the shaman will guide and support each participant, using personalized Icaros and other medicinal plants such as Mapacho (tobacco) to promote healing.
During any ceremony, experienced facilitators, and other Healers part of Elisa’s family, will always be available to make sure that participants have all the support they need. Ceremonies usually end around 3 a.m. to 4 a.m.
After the ceremony is closed, participants can gather and share the insight of the experience and can consult Elisa and the other Healers to receive guidance, support, and the interpretations of what emerged during the night.
“On the other side of the spirit veil, I spend more than a little bit of time researching the hallucinogens. I personally believe ayahuasca is also the greatest natural healing agent, period.”

History Of The Sacred Medicine
Ayahuasca is an ancient and sacred medicine used for millennia by indigenous people of the Amazon Forest.
Also known as “the Vine of The Soul”, the brew knows as “Ayahuasca” is actually a combination of two different plants. The traditional brew is obtained by combining the Vine Banisteriopsis Caapi and the and the leaves of the Chacruna plant Psychotria Viridis.
Ayahuasca is a powerful medicine that can promote spiritual growth and healing.
Also commonly referred by indigenous as the “Mother”, Ayahausca is a door to the realm of the spirits and a pathway for the Curanderos (indigenous shamans) and the drinkers to access different realms of consciousness.
With guidance from the spirits, the Curanderos help the drinker connecting with the sacred spirits and help the seeker navigate the “other realms” while providing guidance to the inner scapes with the goal of heal from trauma and to liberate our potential.
Healing Trauma through Ayahuasca’s Spiritual Pathway
Trauma, whether from childhood experiences, past relationships, or other sources, can leave deep emotional wounds that hinder personal growth and well-being. Ayahuasca’s healing potential lies in its ability to bring these suppressed traumas to the surface, enabling individuals to confront and process them in a safe and supported environment.
During an Ayahuasca ceremony, participants often report vivid and introspective visions, accompanied by intense emotional releases. This heightened state of consciousness facilitates direct access to buried memories and emotions, creating an opportunity for individuals to gain new insights into the root causes of their trauma. By revisiting these painful experiences with the guidance of experienced facilitators, participants can foster acceptance, forgiveness, and ultimately begin the process of healing.
Ayahuasca experiences are frequently described as “spiritually guided journeys.” Participants often report encountering benevolent entities or archetypal symbols that serve as sources of wisdom and guidance. These encounters can help individuals find deeper meaning in their traumatic experiences and offer a sense of reassurance, leading to a shift in perspective and renewed hope for the future.
Inner Growth
Beyond healing trauma, Ayahuasca also holds the potential to ignite profound inner growth and spiritual development. The transformative nature of the experience can lead to increased self-awareness, a stronger sense of purpose, and a heightened connection to the world and others.
The Ayahuasca experience is often described as a journey to the core of one’s being, transcending the confines of the ego and allowing access to the subconscious mind. This introspective journey can lead to a better understanding of one’s beliefs, behaviors, and patterns, providing an opportunity for personal growth and the reevaluation of life choices.
Ayahuasca experiences emphasize the interconnectedness of all life, fostering a sense of unity and compassion for others
