Ayahuasca is a psychoactive tea made from a combination of two plants: Ayahuasca (Banisteriopsis caapi) and Chakruna (Psychotria Viridis). Ayahuasca has been used by shamans and healers of the Amazon for thousands of years to treat various physical and mental illnesses, gain insights about life and the nature of existence, and communicate with the spirit world by inducing a trance that lasts for several hours.
Ayahuasca has the potential to heal numerous mental and physical illnesses, as well as harmonize the emotional and spiritual bodies. There have been studies in the recent years that suggest that Ayahuasca can help with anxiety, depression, drug addiction, PTSD and other mental illnesses. An ayahuasca ceremony can be more effective than psychotherapy or psycho-pharmaceutical drugs when it is administered by an experienced shaman and taken in the right setting, as well as integrated with care. However, Ayahuasca should be avoided if you are suffering from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or have a family history of mental illness.

It is important to know, Ayahuasca is not a recreational drug. It is serious work that sometimes can be difficult and even painful or terrifying.
This depends. The effects that Ayahuasca can have ranges from painful and unpleasant to mystical where time, space and your own identity are transcended and absolute bliss is experienced. It also depends on the setting in which Ayahuasca is consumed, as well as the physical and emotional condition of the person that consumes Ayahuasca.
Ayahuasca may cause vomiting, sweating and/or diarrhea in order to cleanse people from their physical toxins and emotional baggage. The consciousness altering effects kick in about 20-60 minutes after the tea has been consumed and emotionally charged messages or visions are often experienced. Many people report that they have let go of their addictions, fears, anger, or trauma after the plant helped them to face these issues.
The use of Ayahuasca within a religious entity is legal in the United States. At The Truth is One, we believe that our members possess a constitutional right, guaranteed by the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to use the sacred sacrament of Ayahuasca.

The Truth is One offers Ayahuasca Retreats guided by a shaman with years of experience in healing and transformational ceremonies. Our Ayahuasca ceremonies take place in a peaceful, cozy and trust-inspiring environment. You will be encircled and supported by our experienced, loving guides. During the ceremony you may experience nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. This is normal and is a natural effect of the powerful cleansing process. It is not the same as normal vomiting you may be familiar with. It is the result of the true and deep release of stuck emotional blockages.
It is important to know, Ayahuasca is not a recreational drug. It is serious work that sometimes can be difficult and even painful or terrifying. It is recommended to consume Ayahuasca under supervision of an experienced healer who you trust, because he or she can guide you through the journey and offer help if something unexpected or overwhelming occurs.
