Experience


The Sacred Journey

Ayahuasca, often revered as the Vine of the Soul, is a potent sacrament capable of inducing profound spiritual experiences. Each journey is unique, and while it's impossible to predict the exact nature of an Ayahuasca experience, it's widely understood that Mother Aya offers precisely what is needed for deeper awakening.

Some may experience a profound liberation, transcending the ego and bask in the eternal now. Others may release deep-seated traumas and conditioning, freeing themselves from the mind's limitations. Many find immediate answers to their questions, while others may require multiple journeys to fully integrate the insights gained.

Ayahuasca is not for everyone. It is an ancient sacred sacrament, best suited for those who are called and prepared. At Inekawa, we administer this sacrament with the utmost respect and integrity, guiding those who seek deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the universe.
