What is Ayahuasca?
Ayahuasca is an entheogenic brew made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the Psychotria viridis leaf (Chacruna). It is used in traditional ceremonies among the indigenous tribes of Amazonia. P. virdris contains DMT, a powerful hallucinogen, and B. caapi contains monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), which work synergistically with DMT to produce a long-lasting hallucinogenic experience.
Ayahuasca is used as a tool for enlightenment and spiritual growth. Many who seek experiences of personal growth with ayahuasca report a sense of connectedness and compassion with others around them. Some report spiritual awakenings that lead to long-term, stable perspective shifts. This is likely a result of achieving a level of particularly intense level introspection that leads to profound self-awareness and clarity regarding personal issues and belief systems.
What is Wachuma?
Wachuma is a cactus (Trichocereus Pachanoi) native to the Andes, traditionally used for healing, magic and divination. It has been a part of Peruvian tradition for thousands of years, used by priests and medicine men for religious and spiritual ceremony. Also known as San Pedro, the master plant contains a number of alkaloids- including mescaline, a entheogen that brings the expansionary visions most commonly associated with journeying. Though rather than travelling through psychedelic realms, one is brought to the basic, primordial state of consciousness, beyond the material, space and time to the true, present nature of the mind.
Wachuma is a great teacher of the subtle dimensions of Earth reality, showing us ‘beyond the veil’ and what is normally invisible to the naked eye. A grandfather spirit and ancestral medicine, the teachings of the cactus are said to be gentle yet firm and uncompromising. It is common to sense a detachment from ones body and a re- connection to ones soul, as well as the intricate frequencies that make up our universe. One also gains access to divine intelligence, infinite wisdom and deeper insights that may lead to spontaneous healings and profound realizations.
The body generally feels extremely tranquil, aware and at peace with oneself and its surroundings, especially feeling a oneness with nature and the animal and mineral kingdom. We may begin to feel and experience suppressed emotions and memories that are normally resisted or hidden away. Wachuma illuminates what pains, if any, we are storing in our bodies subconsciously, and how we can improve ourselves to be better humans on Earth. Nausea, purging, sickness and dizziness are all common symptoms after ingesting the plant spirit. These may relate to the letting go of negative and toxic energies and entities from our field.

Maestro Marcial
Maestro Marcial Isamani is a Shipibo - Conibo elder who shares the indigenous Shipibo healing traditions of dietas with many healing plants and Ayahuasca. The Shipibo have a long history with shamanism. Through many years or even decades of training and intensive plant dietas, master curanderos emerged from the tribe. Working with energy, they are able to cure a wide array of ailments from physical to psycho-spiritual. Using focused energy work and icaros, they access the spirit world during ayahuasca ceremonies to create a harmonized environment to facilitate healing. As a result, patients in their circle are able to gain self awareness, self-actualize, do shadow work, and heal trauma.
The Shipibo believe that our overall health is the result of a balance of body, mind, and spirit. Each plant they work with contains a specific and unique healing energy, which they channel vibrationally into the healing songs or icaros. These songs act as a conduit to facilitate the plant medicines in their ability to heal.
