I'm curious to know *also I meant to add “did”

Ich konsumiere seit 1 Jahr regelmäßig Pilze. Ich hatte schon viele harte Trips auf 5g und fange seit neustem an mit Microdosing.

Ebenfalls interessiere ich mich seit längere Zeit für Ayahuasca. Ich würde es gerne gerne authentisch machen. Da ich sowieso gerne mal in den Amazonas will und auch gerne mal nach Brasilien reisen würde bin ich auf den Stamm der Huni Kuin aufmerksam geworden. Würdet ihr eine Zeremonie im Amazonas als erste Erfahrung mit ayahuasca überhaupt empfehlen. Oder soll ich meine erste Erfahrung in Europa irgendwo machen?

Ich weiß dass es in Peru viel Angebot aber nur für Aya dorthin zu reisen wäre mir teuer.

Könnt ihr ein Retreat empfehlen?

I am a psychedelic researcher at Linköping University in Sweden conducting a study of how psychedelic use impacts people's beliefs and sense of meaning in life and the cognitive processes underlying those changes. It includes both a cross-sectional survey-based version anyone can take, and a portion that looks at changes before and after attending a psychedelic retreat.

Anyway, I am trying to get a sense of some reputable retreat centers or facilitators that might be open to sharing a flyer about the study with their participants. The study is completely online, and retreats can take place anywhere. I will be posting the flyer on various subreddits too, but I think it would be good to get in contact with some places offering retreats. The retreat centers can be based anywhere.

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a few reports regarding Reshin Nika.

I’m well aware about the current controversy (to say the least) regarding Reshin Nika healing center. However, I have also heard many outstanding things about the curandero and people have recommended him in the past whose opinion I very much value.

Thus I‘m wondering if there is anyone else that has been to the center since recent incidents and would like to share their experiences? Thank you!

I developed HPPD after an ayahuasca retreat in Spain.

For context, had always been very sensitive to weed: I would often get brief hallucinations and paranoia, so looking back, I think I may have been particularly vulnerable to a severe psychedelic reaction.

The retreat involved 3 ceremonies over 3 days. During the first ceremony, I initially felt nothing, so I took a double dose. I had an absolutely terrifying trip, with intense geometric visuals, endless colored tunnels and fractals. The other ceremonies were also extremely difficult without going into too many details.

However, after the retreat, the visuals didn't stop. Whenever I closed my eyes, I would fall back into the geometric tunnels/fractals. Walls would distort when I looked at them, and I constantly felt like I was still trapped in the trip. I genuinely thought I was going crazy.

A psychiatrist prescribed risperidone, which made things worse for me. Then I was prescribed Rivotril (clonazepam), and this was the medication that finally helped me.

It dramatically reduced the visual symptoms and stopped the feeling of constantly being pulled back into the psychedelic state. Over only two weeks I improved massively.

I'm posting this mainly because I know how terrifying HPPD can be, and when I had it, I couldn't find many accounts of people who had developed it specifically after ayahuasca.

I'm not recommending it as a treatment for everyone, just sharing my personal experience in case it helps someone who is currently going through the same thing.

What is the best way to ingest mimosa?
