点评:I completed a ten day experience with the Ayahuasca Foundation in the small community of Mishana in Peru. My son and I made the decision to attend ayahuasca ceremonies here as opposed to the hundreds of other choices in various countries and locales because of the authenticity offered there and a good feeling about the the gentleman running the retreat, Carlos Tanner. It turned out to be a great decision for both of those reasons. Although getting to Peru and Iquitos can be a challenge, once you get there you realize that you are on an adventure of sorts. Carlos personally welcomed us and had arranged our accommodation in Iquitos and all transportation to the Retreat, which is located about 30 miles from Iquitos on the Nanay river in the village of Mishana (Good luck trying to locate this on a map, it is that remote). On arriving at the retreat which is located in a beautiful lodge right on the river, it became clear that the event was all about Plant Medicines of the Amazon. All guests are offered several medicines which are taken 3 times a day to aid in various areas. Blood, brain, and nervous systems tonics. In addition, various other treatments including plant baths, vapor baths, and purges are offered to prepare and help the participants through the ceremonies. All of these are conducted with authentic Shibibo curanderos. The curanderos and staff were outstanding and made the experience wonderful with their skills. All participants meet individually with the Maestro Don Ronor for an evaluation and diagnosis of their particular problems and needs. Each is given an individual treatment throughout their time there with Amazonian plant medicines. I received several treatments for Gout and Thyroid issues. The ceremonies were great with a small group limited to 10 people. Our group was wonderful and we shared an incredible energy and experience together. The musical skills of all of the curanderos was incredible with their haunting and comforting icaros. As the ceremonies wind down more conventional music is shared and participants are afforded the opportunity to sing a song also. This made for some great and memorable shared times and a true feeling of love and energy between us all! We had a total of 5 Aya ceremonies during the 10 day stay there. Each one seemed more incredible than the last with our group growing closer the longer we were there. I feel like this is truly the way to experience Ayahuasca. I cant imagine having to do this in a large group. Our curanderos were able to offer personal attention to anyone who had a difficult time during the ceremonies. The food is good, but be ready for the Aya diet. The accommodations are rustic but clean with great personal showers and toilets in each room. Be sure to tour the Mishana community or take a fishing trip with the staff. You will not be disappointed. Take some time to sit down and talk with Carlos. You will realize that he is there on a mission to help as many people as possible using Ayahuasca and other plant medicines. Ask about his incredible experience with Aya and how it has changed his life and brought about the Ayahuasca Foundation. This event was life changing for both my son and I, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a step in their lives like this one. This IS the way to experience Ayahuasca and plant medicines.
翻译:我在秘鲁的米沙纳小镇完成了为期十天的 Ayahuasca 基金会体验。我和儿子决定参加这里的 Ayahuasca 仪式,而不是去其他国家和地区参加数百个其他活动,因为这里提供的真实性,而且我对管理静修所的绅士卡洛斯·坦纳 (Carlos Tanner) 很有好感。由于这两个原因,这被证明是一个很棒的决定。虽然前往秘鲁和伊基托斯可能是一个挑战,但一旦你到达那里,你就会意识到你正在经历一场冒险。卡洛斯亲自欢迎了我们,并为我们安排了在伊基托斯的住宿和前往静修所的所有交通,静修所位于伊基托斯约 30 英里外的米沙纳村的 Nanay 河上(祝你在地图上找到它好运,它太偏远了)。抵达静修所后,我们清楚地发现,它位于河边一座美丽的小屋里,活动的主题是亚马逊的植物药。所有客人都会得到几种药物,每天服用 3 次,以帮助各个部位。血液、大脑和神经系统滋补品。此外,还提供各种其他治疗,包括植物浴、蒸汽浴和泻药,以帮助参与者准备并完成仪式。所有这些都是由正宗的 Shibibo 巫医进行的。巫医和工作人员非常出色,他们的技能让体验变得美妙。所有参与者都与大师 Don Ronor 单独会面,以评估和诊断他们的特定问题和需求。每个人都在那里接受亚马逊植物药物的个人治疗。我接受了几次痛风和甲状腺问题的治疗。仪式很棒,只有 10 人的小团体。我们的团队很棒,我们一起分享了令人难以置信的能量和体验。所有巫医的音乐技巧都令人难以置信,他们的 icaros 令人难忘和安慰。随着仪式的结束,更多的传统音乐被分享,参与者也有机会唱歌。这让我们度过了一段美好而难忘的时光,我们之间也感受到了真正的爱和能量!我们在那里待了 10 天,总共参加了 5 次 Aya 仪式。每次仪式都比上一次更令人难以置信,我们在那里待的时间越长,我们团队的距离就越近。我觉得这是体验 Ayahuasca 的真正方式。我无法想象要在一大群人中这样做。我们的巫医能够为在仪式期间遇到困难的任何人提供个人关注。食物很好,但要做好 Aya 饮食的准备。住宿条件简朴但干净,每个房间都有很棒的个人淋浴和厕所。一定要参观 Mishana 社区或与工作人员一起去钓鱼。你不会失望的。花点时间坐下来和卡洛斯聊聊。你会意识到他在那里的使命是帮助尽可能多的人使用 Ayahuasca 和其他植物药物。询问他与 Aya 的不可思议的经历,以及它如何改变了他的生活并促成了 Ayahuasca 基金会的成立。这次活动改变了我和我儿子的人生,我强烈推荐任何考虑迈出这一步的人参加。这是体验 Ayahuasca 和植物药物的方式。
