Ayahuasca healing retreat – PERU
Profound GRATITUDE to both Don Clever, and Don Guido! Spirit Guides, and angels in disguise. I elected to have 5 Ayahuasca Ceremonies in 5 days, to work to overcome heavy negativity and Guilt and anger at life – for taking away my only son in his 8th month of pregnancy, as well as painful childhood traumas of my own life. Clever and Don Guido worked together to hold a space for the medicine to clean me out extremely deep levels so that I can feel love again and be my fullest self again. Each night my experiences were extremely different – yet always powerful and beneficial. Burning tingles oozing through my organs and probing / opening the cells inside as the medicine expanded within. Vibrant visions of snakes, serpents, insects, plants, flowers in vivid hyper-real colours. Always eventually the violent purge – vomiting that shook me to the very core, shaking deeply as I struggled to hold on to myself. Sometimes sudden appearances of spirit entities when the pain subsided and “rough seas” calmed. A Female entity in “The Temple of Roses”, soothing me. An other-worldly Birthing Ritual in which my wife and I succeeded to deliver a Living Healthy Baby – which turned out to be her – my wife – as she transcended to a much higher plane in Glory and Splendour. Some ceremonies had no visions whatsoever – only intense personal battles where my mind refused to let go of control. Sometimes I was overcome with empathy for those I have hurt in this life – with intense weeping. One ceremony in which every movement created a sideways “Rattle” of intense geometrical patterns – as if the Spirit Jungle is escaping out through the cracks in my perception – Shivering rattle-sound movements in jagged splotches of snakeskin. Deep connections with my ancestors – expressing gratitude to each one I have known – and sending blessings to pets I have known and loved. In one ceremony I needed to leave the Maloka to pee – and a vision of a small glowing spaceship zoomed overhead as the friendly creature waved at me (alien?). In my 5th and final ceremony, we used Cielo Ayahuasca – which was fresh and very powerful – it was almost too much, and a strong Female warrior Spirit within me screamed at me “Enough!!!” – I promised to end my ceremonies here – but still faced intense fear and at one point I tumbled into a swirling chaos of Hell – where the Deep Voice of a Demon growled “It can get much worse than this!” Always Don Clever and Don Guido were there for me – offering help, comfort, reassurance, and a slow, guided journey along the dog-leg board-walk back to my quiet cabin. So many things to integrate back into life. THANK You!!! So Very Much!
Love,

P.S.
Thank you for the magical Jungle walks to pay offerings to the master Trees. Thank you for the Singing and Chanting and rhythmic rattling in my darkest moments of suffering – they grounded me and enabled me to heal at a deeper level. Thank you to the cook and other staff who gave me healthy, pure food for the journeys, washed my clothes, mended my pants. Thank you Clever – for your wisdom, stories, kindness, humour + laughter – you were always there when I needed anything. Thank you Don Guido – for your immense power to work with the medicine – directing it, and acquiescing to find a balance between what I needed and what the medicine could offer. It was evident that each night as we left the Maloka that everyone was completely exhausted – even more so than the shaken participants, both Clever and Don Guido needed to recoup to restore their energy. Yet the next day, both men showed up at my Cabin ready to lead me back into the jungle to honour the master Trees and make offerings, and to tell me more amazing stories of the Shamanic world. Blessings and Peace to all – may your Journeys be fulfilling, rich and Joyful! 🙂
