To prepare for a retreat, follow the general advice listed below for ceremonies. Also, bring a sleeping bag, sleeping mat and personal hygiene objects. You can also put up a tent, if you want.
You need to understand that all kinds of drugs must not be mixed with ayahuasca. Therefore, don't bring any substances, including cannabis, to the course location.
In the days preceding a ceremony, we recommend a vegeterian diet to cleanse toxins. Don't dwell in anger or other negative emotions either.
We also recommend three days of sexual abstinence for better energy level control prior to the ritual.
It is great to bring fruit or other solid foods to share after the ceremony.
We encourage participants to use comfortable, white or light-colored clothes. Women should wear long skirts until below the knees, avoiding transparency and wide necklines. Men should not use sleeveless shirts or shorts.
We recommend avoiding strong perfumes or fragrances.
