Working with Ayahuasca

---

 Ayahuasca (pronounced ah-yah-WAH-ska) is a sacred Amazonian plant medicine with profound therapeutic and spiritual potential;  In Peruvian shamanic traditions, Ayahuasca is considered to be female and is regarded as a kind of mother, or grandmother. Ayahuasca derives from the Quechua words aya-spirit/dead, waska-vine/rope and can be translated as “vine of the dead.” Ayahuasca can be a very powerful tool in a person’s healing journey, whether this be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual; The Shipibo tradition is widely regarded as the most intact and profound of the indigenous traditions that use ayahuasca. We are excited to having the opportunity to offer an all Black space to work with Shipibo style and medicine.
