Europe how to prepare for your trip ?
As we believe in a more personal healing experience, space will be limited to 10 people. This will enable the shaman and staff to be available at all times for you.
We will all share the same house and we will schedule some activities to connect to each other, and understand the experience at a deeper level.
There will be talks about different medicines during the retreat, and we will provide you with all the info and support you need throughout your process.
TRANSPORT
To come to us you need to get a plane to: Jerez (30 min away) , Sevilla (1h 30 min away), Malaga (2 h and 30 min away), Gibraltar (1h 30 min away).
The day we start the retreat we will ask you to be at the space between 11.00am and 17.00pm, as we will start with private intentions around 17.30. Setting an intention is an essential part of the process, which needs to be done before we can start.
We will provide all the details on how to get to the ceremonial space.
The last day of the retreat, we will leave the house between 15:00 and 17:00.
If you need to leave earlier than this then let us know in advance.
PREPARE YOUR TRIP
As you may already know when it comes to the medicine one of the basics is how you prepare yourself for the experience.
It is important to be as clean as possible in every aspect of your being, as this will benefit the experience making it easier to connect with yourself and work at a deeper level.
Some of the next guidelines are only recommendations, but there are aspects that are obligatory to follow with the experience. If by any chance you cannot follow any of the obligatory guidelines getting closer to the retreat, please let us know so we can handle your situation adequately.
WHAT TO BRING
During September / October / November/ December / January in Costa del Sol will be a nice fall / winter, will not be very cold as in other European countries but still will be winter and cold in the nights so make sure you have some warm clothes with you. During the day it might be nice, it might rain and evenings will be a bit chilly.
When you are packing try not to bring the whole closet, remember you are only coming for 1 week or 1 weekend!
We have made a packing list for you not to miss the essentials:
- Water bottle
- Journal & pen
- Red Flashlight
- Lighters
- Books to read
Ceremony clothes: very comfortable and loose clothes so you can move freely and can enjoy the experience, but worm enough so that you don’t get chilly in the night
Plant medicine DIET
It is recommended to start the diet at least 2 weeks before taking the medicine.
- It is essential to avoid pork and spicy food.
- It is essential to stop drinking alcohol, taking drugs and antidepressant or anxiolytic medications at least 3 weeks before the first ceremony.
- Avoid products with tyramine as it interferes with the enzyme inhibitors MAOI.
- Avoid eating processed sugar, and industrial pastries.
- Reduce the amount of salt in the food.
- Avoid fried and high fat foods.
- Avoid products with high levels of caffeine.
- It is recommended to avoid red meat and meat in general (if needed you can eat chicken or turkey).
- It is recommended not to have sexual intercourse or to masturbate at least 1 week before the first ceremony.
ABOUT MEDICATION
Do not take any medication at least 2 weeks before you come to us. If you have any doubts please check with us so we can ask our doctors.
About Medical history
If you have had any psychotic episode, or family history of schizophrenia please let us know so we can set an interview to talk about the risks of taking medicine with this kind of history.
ABOUT DRUGS and ALCOHOL
Stay away from any substances for at least 2 weeks before the first intake, a month would be better. Drugs (including marijuana) and alcohol will block your experience with the plant medicine. Even marijuana being something that can be used for medicinal purposes has a bad “relation” with our medicine, so if marijuana is present in your system you may find yourself spending the night dealing with that energy and having difficulties connecting with your inner self during ceremony.
It is absolutely forbidden to take antidepressants, anxiolytics or any other medications in conjunction with plant medicine.
ABOUT SEX
Do not have sex for a week before coming to do medicine (We know…sorry!)
When we have sex there is a very powerful exchange of energy, and we recommend for you to stay as clear as possible in order to have the best experience.
SPECIAL REQUESTS & ALLERGIES
If you happen to have a special request regarding food, or any allergies we should know about, then please let us know so we can tell our cooks.
