Our sacred medicines
🌿 Ayahuasca: The Vine of the Soul
Also called 'The Medicine', 'The Mother' or 'La Abuelita', Ayahuasca is a powerful Amazonian brew used for millennia for physical disease healing, deep psychological healing, spiritual insight, and connection to the divine.
Originally used by jungle curanderos to move the energy of disease out of patients, this sacred medicine opens the door to your subconscious mind, revealing information long hidden or overlooked. Many describe it as 'years of therapy in one night'—profoundly revealing, intensely healing, reconnecting you to your authentic self and feminine powers within.
At AyaCenter, Ayahuasca has been central to the healing of those who dare to open up courageously and go deep within themselves
Best for: Trauma healing, addiction recovery, depression/anxiety, deep spiritual work, major life transitions.
🌵 San Pedro (Wachuma or Huachuma): The Medicine of the Heart
San Pedro, also called Huachuma, is a gentle yet profound cactus medicine from the Andes. Known for opening the heart and connecting you to nature, Pachamama (Mother Earth), and universal love, San Pedro ceremonies often take place outdoors in sacred natural settings.
Best for: Heart-opening, connection to nature, gentle spiritual awakening, first-time plant medicine users, major life transitions, inner child healing, integration after intense healing work, grounding, outdoor ceremonies, etc.
🍄 Psilocybin 1-1 Assisted Therapy
Sacred mushrooms have been used in Mesoamerican ceremonies for thousands of years. Psilocybin offers profound insights, emotional release, and perspectives that help break through limiting patterns in a gentler container than Ayahuasca.
Best for: Breaking patterns, emotional healing, perspective shifts, therapeutic breakthroughs, private ceremony experience
