Ahavah Gardens | Frequently Asked Questions

1. What happens during an Ayahuasca Ceremony?

Ayahuasca is a powerful Amazonian plant medicine that catalyzes emotional, physical, and spiritual healing. In our ceremonies, participants drink the sacred brew in a held, ceremonial space guided by experienced facilitators. Ayahuasca opens the heart and subconscious, allowing for the release of trauma, ancestral healing, spiritual awakening, and divine remembrance. We support your journey with preparation guidance, music, energetic support, and integration.

2. What is a Bufo Ceremony? (5-MeO-DMT)

Bufo alvarius, known as the “God Molecule,” is a sacred secretion from the Sonoran Desert Toad. When inhaled, it creates a fast-acting, ego-dissolving experience often described as merging with God, Source, or pure consciousness. Ceremonies are trauma-informed, spiritually held, and deeply transformative, with focus on safety, integration, and divine protection.

3. What is a DMT Ceremony? (NN-DMT)

DMT (NN-Dimethyltryptamine) is a visionary plant compound that opens multidimensional perception. This fast-acting medicine allows for symbolic and visual journeys through your psyche and spirit world. Our DMT ceremonies are held with reverence and guidance, offering powerful inner vision, energetic clearing, and rapid insight.

4. What is a Kambo Ceremony?

Kambo is the secretion of the Amazonian Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, applied to small burns on the skin. It contains potent peptides that stimulate deep detoxification of the liver, lymphatic system, and gut. Kambo boosts immunity, clears emotional stagnation, and resets the nervous system. It’s a powerful cleansing tool often used to prepare for or integrate after deep medicine work.

5. What is an AO Scan and why is it useful?

The AO Scan is a non-invasive, frequency-based technology that analyzes your body’s energetic field. It provides detailed feedback on your organs, meridians, chakras, emotional balance, and even food sensitivities. Each session includes a personalized report and a custom audio file with healing frequencies. This tool is excellent for tracking your health, guiding protocols, and enhancing ceremony integration.

6. What is Rapéh (Hapé)?

Rapéh is a sacred snuff made of Amazonian tobacco and medicinal plants. It is used to clear the mind, align the chakras, and ground the spirit. Administered through a kuripe or tepi pipe, Rapéh is a powerful ally in prayer, meditation, and ceremony. It supports clarity, energetic cleansing, and deeper connection to your intuition and breath.

7. What is Reiki and Energy Healing?

Reiki and other forms of energy healing involve the channeling of Universal Life Force Energy to bring harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. Our skilled practitioners work with your energy field to remove blockages, balance chakras, and promote emotional release. These sessions are gentle yet deeply transformative, often used alongside plant medicine journeys for integration and support.

8. What is a Shamanic Cleansing or Limpia?

A shamanic cleansing (or “limpia”) is an ancient practice used to remove energetic imprints, negative influences, or emotional heaviness. This may involve sacred smoke (such as copal or palo santo), prayer, song, and hands-on or hands-off techniques. Limpias are powerful for grounding, protection, and spiritual alignment before or after medicine work.
