AYAHUASCA CAN BRING PROFOUND BENEFITS, BUT DRINKING HAS ITS CHALLENGES & RISKS…
From fainting spells to aggressive behaviors and risky interpretations of visions, ceremonies held in urban contexts can present particular challenges and needs, both physical and psychological. There are also more subtle risks, such as toxic relationships between guides and participants.
Legal insecurity means that most guides in neoshamanic circles work clandestinely without the ability to openly refer to doctors, psychologists, and other professionals.
With so many potential risks, how can we navigate and circumvent the issues that can arise in ceremonies and plant medicine circles outside of their lands of origin?
In this 2-day Workshop, you'll gain insight that will both help you participate in ceremonies more safely and enhance your skill as a facilitator to safely guide others through profoundly transformational experiences.
While the content of this Workshop mostly revolves around ayahuasca ceremonies, anyone who partakes in or guides others through experiences of altered states of consciousness (preparation, integration, ethics, etc.) should benefit from these insights.
This 2-day event is adapted from a 60-hour course offered by Ethnobotanical Education, Research, and Service (ICEERS), who have been collaborating with professionals dedicated to facilitation, scientific research, medicine, and psychology, to compile best practices to increase safety and ethics in ayahuasca ceremonies in non-native contexts.
Meet the host, Jerónimo Mazarrasa
Jerónimo is an ayahuasca community activist. He works as the Social Innovation Coordinator for ICEERS and is a founding member of Plantaforma (Platform for the Defense of Ayahuasca in Spain).
Over the past five years, he has devoted most of his energy to exploring how ceremonial plant practices can be legally and safely integrated outside of their cultures of origin.
WHO IS this Workshop FOR?
We welcome anyone who wishes to uplevel their own practice and contribute towards co-creating a safe, inclusive, and diverse medicine community, in right relationship to the ancestral cultures that continue to hold these medicines sacred.
This Workshop is ideal for you if:
who it isn’t for
This Workshop should not be considered as a psychedelic facilitator or guide training; we do not teach how to administer psychedelic medicines. We advocate that anyone seeking to facilitate psychedelic ceremonies and sessions learn from an appropriate elder, within a community of experienced cohorts, in the modality they wish to practice in.
For this reason, this Workshop is not ideal for you if:

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK ON PREVIOUS ICEERS WORKSHOPS
❝ This work is invaluable to me as a practitioner, especially as I work more confidently within a network of trust, integrity, and faith. The future coordination of this network is essential for us to continue our work and to continue to bless the lives of those fellow humans who want to receive healing and understanding about the nature of divinity and consciousness. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing us together. ❞
❝ Being with the presence of intelligent, articulate and knowledgeable people is always a pleasure, but knowing that you ICEERS guys are out there, doing what you do – applying your gifts and talents for the good of such a worthy cause – that is a blessing that calms my soul and allows me to walk – in the way that I do – with such faith and confidence. A phrase that comes to mind – if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far – go together. ❞
❝ This initiative by ICEERS could so easily be underestimated by the casual observer. At the cutting edge of plant medicine and psychedelic expansion, one sees ICEERS like a surfer riding a fabled huge 50 year wave. Whoever is supporting these guys to do what they do is worthy of our deepest respects. Very few will understand how important this is. ❞
