A Sacred Ceremony and Guided Integration

Ayahuasca is a sacred plant medicine brewed from two Amazonian plants: the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the chacruna leaf. For centuries, it has been used by indigenous tribes of the Amazon as a medicine for healing, vision, and spiritual awakening.
Often called the vine of the soul, ayahuasca is not a drug or a quick fix. It’s a teacher — a powerful guide that brings the subconscious to the surface, helping you see the roots of your patterns, release emotional weight, and reconnect with your truth.
In ceremony, ayahuasca can help you:
Access the subconscious in a way traditional talk therapy cannot
Process and release old trauma and limiting beliefs
Gain clarity about your life, your path, and your purpose
Reconnect with a deep sense of spirituality and wholeness
Ayahuasca is not about escape. It’s about facing yourself fully — and finding freedom on the other side.
If you’ve tried therapy, read the books, or done the “inner work” but still feel stuck, ayahuasca can meet you where words cannot.
It helps surface subconscious patterns that keep you repeating cycles of pain.
It reveals clarity and vision beyond the noise of everyday life.
It reconnects you with your deepest truth and sense of purpose.
Guided Preparation
The Ayahuasca Awakening begins one month before the ceremony.
You’ll receive access to a virtual preparation course designed to help you navigate the intensity of this transformational experience—often likened to decades of therapy.
The course includes instructional videos, guided practices to ready your body, mind, and spirit, and a detailed Ayahuasca Awakening Guidebook. You’ll also receive a private session to deepen your preparation, clarify your intentions, and ensure you are fully supported as you step into this sacred work.
Ayahuasca Ceremony
Experience two powerful Ayahuasca ceremonies in Colombia, guided by shamans and healers with over 30 years of experience.
The medicine in Colombia is traditionally brewed stronger, offering a more potent and immersive journey. Each ceremony is followed by an integration circle where you’ll begin to process your experience in a safe and supportive setting. You will also be personally supported by me throughout the journey—before, during, and after the ceremony—to help you stay grounded and navigate whatever arises. This is sacred, life-changing work, held with deep reverence, traditional wisdom, and compassionate guidance..
Guided Integration
The real work begins after the ceremony. While Ayahuasca can offer profound insights and emotional breakthroughs, it’s the integration that determines how those insights shape your life moving forward.
To support you during this essential phase, you’ll receive access to a three (3) month guided integration course designed to help you ground your experience, make meaning of the journey, and begin applying the lessons to your daily life. You’ll also receive a private integration session, where we’ll work together to anchor your insights, address any challenges, and create a path forward aligned with your soul’s growth.
Ayahuasca opens the door—but integration is how you walk through it.






Is this experience right for me?
Ayahuasca is a psychoactive and entheogenic drink brewed by Shamans in South America for thousands of years for spiritual and medicinal purposes. Ayahuasca is made from two (2) plants: the ayahuasca vine (banisteriopsis caapi) and the leaf of the chakruna plant (psychotria viridis). The ayahuasca used during the ceremony is extracted from the Amazon rainforest in Putumayo. Each cup contains forty (40) cc of the sacred medicine.
A pure ayahuasca brew is safe and virtually impossible to overdose. Ayahuasca is not addictive and is actually used to treat addictions. Ayahuasca is an MAO-I mixture. It is pharmacologically contraindicated with certain medications and drugs and is potentially dangerous for those with certain psychological conditions and mental illnesses. We have a screening process to ensure that you can safely participate in the sacred ceremony.
The purge is an important part of the ceremony, but not everyone experiences a purge during their first ceremony. The body often, but not always, cleanses itself in the form of vomiting or diarrhea. Purging cleanses physical toxins and clears energetic and emotional blockages.
While seeing lights, colors or shapes is a common experience, not everyone has this experience or sees visions. The purpose of the ceremony is not to “get high” or “trip.” The intention of the sacred ceremony is to gain insight, wisdom, and healing. Visions are common but are not a necessary part of the sacred ceremony. Many people gain healing and wisdom through emotional releases, insight, downloads of information, or somatic experiences.
The ceremony will take place in Guarne, Colombia, approximately forty-five (45) minutes away from Medellin. Ayahuasca is brewed and offered by the Shaman in Colombia. Ad Astra Awakening does not brew, sell, or distribute ayahuasca.
The ceremony will be guided and supervised by a Shaman and indigenous healers. Shamans start training to guide ayahausca ceremonies as early as 8 years old. With over 30 years of experience, the shamans and indigenous healers leading the ceremonies bring wisdom and understanding to the process. Their extensive knowledge ensures the safety and well-being of participants, allowing for a transformative experience.
What is integration? Integration is an invaluable opportunity to honor and assimilate the profound gifts received during the Ayahuasca ceremony. It is a space to reflect, share, and receive guidance as you weave the insights, healing, and spiritual connection into the tapestry of your daily life. Reflection and Integration Practices: Delve deeper into your insights, emotions, and newfound wisdom. Process and assimilate the transformative experience into your daily life. Guidance and Support: We offer guidance and support as you navigate the integration process. We offer insights, tools, and practices to help you integrate the lessons and revelations from your Ayahuasca journey into your daily life. Whether it’s coping with challenging emotions, implementing new behaviors, or deepening your spiritual connection, we will assist you in finding personalized approaches to support your ongoing growth and healing. Ongoing Resources: We provide you with additional resources, practices, and tools that can further support your integration process. This may include recommended readings, mindfulness exercises, self-care practices, or suggestions for continued spiritual exploration. These resources will empower you to continue your journey of growth and self-discovery beyond the immediate post-ceremony period.
