I’m preparing to host my first medicine ceremony and would love to hear your thoughts or advice.

For this event, participants will receive a comprehensive guide that outlines essential preparation steps, including fasting, what to bring, and what to expect. The guide also provides educational materials about psilocybin and MDMA, covering their safety, benefits, and contraindications to ensure a secure and informed experience. Integration support is a key focus, featuring the MAPS integration workbook and follow-up Zoom sessions to help participants reflect on their experiences and continue their healing journey.

About Me

I’ve been studying psychedelics for eight years and have attended numerous ceremonies and retreats. My goal with this ceremony is to support first responders and others who wish to address past trauma.

I’m also currently training as a ceremony volunteer with my church, which uses ayahuasca, psilocybin, huachuma, and bufo. As a volunteer, my role is to provide peer support for participants without stepping into the role of a shaman or hampeq. The training is a year-long program that focuses on spirituality (Peruvian traditions, Hinduism, and Gnosticism), psychology, and South American shamanism. With this foundation and my personal experiences, I feel prepared to facilitate my own ceremony.

Ceremony Format

This event will include psilocybin on day one and MDMA on day two. This structure was inspired by one of the most impactful ceremonies I’ve attended, which combined ayahuasca at night with huachuma the next morning. The deep introspection of the ayahuasca night followed by the connection and compassion of the huachuma morning created a powerful synergy.

I aim to recreate this dynamic with psilocybin and MDMA, as they’ve been the most impactful medicines in my personal healing. The first day will focus on inward exploration with psilocybin, while the second day will provide a heart-centered space for connection, integration, and reflection using MDMA.

If you’ve hosted or attended similar ceremonies, I’d love to hear your advice—especially any tips for someone hosting their first one. Thanks in advance for your insights!
