About the sacrament
Ayahuasca is a traditional Amazonian entheogenic sacrament, uniquely prepared from two primary plants: the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and Psychotria viridis, commonly called chacruna.
Banisteriopsis caapi — often called the “vine of the soul”; it contains beta-carbolines with MAOI activity.
Psychotria viridis — commonly called chacruna; it contains DMT, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound.
For centuries, Indigenous peoples of the Amazon have used Ayahuasca in ceremonial, spiritual, and healing traditions to cultivate wisdom, strengthen connection with nature and spirit, and support personal and communal well-being.
Today, it continues to be honored by Indigenous communities and other spiritual traditions as a sacred teacher, approached with reverence, intention, and respect for its cultural origins.
Ayahuasca is an entheogen. The word entheogencomes from three ancient Greek roots that together mean “generating the divine within.” It is a sacrament held in service of a deeper relationship with the sacred and with one's inner life. In this context, the word points toward an inward turning—toward what some traditions call the I AM Presence, or the quiet mirror of the soul. It is approached as an opportunity for prayerful self-inquiry, not as a recreational experience.
Ayahuasca is not a magic pill, a shortcut, or a path for everyone. It does not promise to heal or solve life's difficulties. When we come to her as students, open to receiving guidance, it may reveal our blind spots and bring our awareness to cause and effect, and to what needs to be done in order to fulfill our lives. It is a continuous study of self-mastery that requires an authentic desire to transform, radical responsibility, dedication, devotion, careful preparation, and a willingness to stay present with what arises. At times, it may bring hidden emotions, protective patterns, or the stories we have built about ourselves into view. This can be challenging; the invitation is to meet it with curiosity rather than judgment, without trying to force it to change, and with gratitude for what is being revealed.
Ceremony itself is only one part of the path. It can be a classroom for studying ourselves, life, and our relationship with the sacred. The deeper work begins afterward—when we learn how to apply, embody, and integrate what has been offered into everyday life.
That is why integration and personal responsibility are central to this work. In our community, we stay connected through integration circles, shared conversation, and practical guidance—a simple space to reflect and support one another as we continue along the path.
Faith, practice & responsibility →Colibri Sanctuary
A spiritual context for approaching ayahuasca with reverence, discernment, and care.
Our practice
Colibri Sanctuary is a spiritual community centered on prayerful self-inquiry, ethical personal responsibility, community care, and integration. Within our sincerely held spiritual practice, ayahuasca is approached as a sacrament—not as recreation and not as medical or mental-health treatment.
Participation is not open enrollment. It follows an application, confidential health screening, preparation process, introductory conversation, and facilitator review. Participation may be declined or postponed when safety, readiness, or other concerns arise.
Our spiritual orientation
Colibri's spiritual orientation is informed by the teachings of Spiritism, Umbanda, and yogic traditions. We approach these influences with humility and do not claim to represent the full doctrine or practices of any one tradition.
Before participation
Participation is not automatic. Before a reservation is confirmed, prospective participants complete a confidential health questionnaire, have an introductory conversation with a facilitator, and review preparation guidance. Participation is confirmed only when the process is complete and it appears to be an appropriate fit.
Safety and well-being remain central throughout that process. Medication decisions should always be made with the prescribing clinician; do not stop, start, or change prescribed medication without their guidance.
Clear boundaries
The work offered by Colibri Sanctuary is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or replace medical or psychological care. Participants should seek guidance from appropriately licensed healthcare professionals for medical or mental-health needs.
