What to Bring and When and Where to Go

How do I prepare for the trip?

Inner Preparation
First of all, assess your objectives and your life as it is now. Make a kind
of recapitulation of your situationhealth, work, love, behavior. Try to
calibrate the weaknesses and strengths in your life, without judgment,
without lying to yourself. For example, if you live as a couple and you
are leaving for this trip alone, take a close look at this situation. Where
do you stand in relation to what you want, your goals, your plans, what
do you really share? You need to realize that if your life as a couple is
not going well, without really going badly either, and if you are living
together because in the end you dont want to be alone, the trip is going
to expose your relationship, and, upon your return, seeing each other
again may end in your separation. Ayahuasca will show you the reality
of your relationships, and you will update your situation. So, take stock
before leaving. In general, with couples, a distance between you in the
spiritual domain and in desire can create a break.
Preparing yourself also means getting in shape, working on body
and mind.
Material Preparation
Buy Lonely Planet or Le guide du routard (Frances equivalent travel
guidebook); they have all the info. Points I dont cover below youll find
in the Lonely Planet.
