HOW TO CHOOSE AN AYAHUASCA RETREAT?

Start with safety. Look for centers that conduct thorough medical and psychological screening before accepting you. Check the facilitators' experience and training. Ask about their emergency protocols, whether medical staff are on-site, and what their screening process covers. Group size matters. Smaller groups (under 15 people) usually mean more personal attention during ceremonies. Look for retreats that include preparation before and integration support after, not just the ceremony itself. Read verified reviews from past participants. Consider the legal status in the country you're visiting. Avoid centers that skip health screening or pack large groups into ceremonies. The cheapest option is rarely the safest. This is one area where cutting corners carries real risk.
