We look forward to connecting with you!

At Mundo Profundo, we prioritize the well-being of our participants, and we take the responsibility of understanding one's medical history seriously. With this in mind, we have a dedicated health practitioner alongside our Elders who meticulously review each individual's case, ensuring thorough consideration if there are any uncertainties about whether the ceremony is suitable for you at this time. This process is never about discrimination; rather, it's about ensuring that you receive the utmost care and support to fully benefit from your experience with us. Your safety and holistic healing are our utmost priorities.

Below is a list of our most common medical questions and answers :

What if I have high blood pressure?

Ayahuasca can affect blood pressure, so we need to be very cautious. You must disclose your condition to us, even if your blood pressure is controlled by medication. Taking ayahuasca can result in a spike in your blood pressure resulting in serious medical conditions including stroke.

We will give you a reduced dosage of ayahuasca for your entire retreat. The elders believe that even the smallest amount of medicine can be of benefit.

You should be attending retreat for therapeutic and healing benefits. You may or may not experience “visions”, but this is not what brings the healing benefits. It is your responsibility as well to monitor your condition throughout the retreat, and be respectful of the dosage given to you by the elder.

What if I'm taking antidepressants?

It can be very dangerous to mix The Medicine with SSRI and other types of antidepressants. It can cause sometimes serious reactions up to stroke. On occasion, this class of drugs is also prescribed by doctors for other conditions, for example, seizures or pain treatment. If you are unsure about whether your medications are considered dangerous please contact us.

Can I participate in Ceremony if I am menstruating?

Yes, guidelines and preparation for ceremony during this sacred time will be shared upon registration.

Can I attend Ayahuasca Ceremonies while I am pregnant?

We do not serve The Medicine to women who are pregnant or are currently breastfeeding.

What if I use other plant medicines or drugs?

We have a zero-tolerance policy for drug or alcohol use during the retreat. Guests found using alcohol or drugs during the retreat will be asked to leave.

What about Marijuana?

According to Colombian elders, Marijuana and Ayahuasca are not “friends”. You should refrain from using marijuana for as long as possible before retreat to achieve the best results.

Prepare your mind, body, and spirit for an Ayahuasca ceremony by embracing traditional indigenous practices. This includes adhering to a purifying diet, engaging in meditation and prayer to focus the mind, and participating in rituals to cleanse and align the spirit.

Additionally, connecting with nature, practicing mindfulness, and fostering a sense of reverence for the sacredness of the ceremony are essential steps to prepare holistically for this transformative experience.

Once complete with the application process you will receive a "Preparation Guide" to use as you see fit and/or may resonate to further clarify the preparation process, which will also be discussed in your application inquiry call with a Mundo Profundo facilitator.
