Ayahuasca ceremony for two

A ceremony for two is different from a retreat, and different from going alone. More intimate, and yet shared.

There is no group dynamic to account for, no pace set by others. There is only the person you trust, and us holding the space. For some people it is precisely the nearness of someone trusted that makes it possible to truly let go.

A ceremony for two is for two people who know each other and want to walk this path together. Whatever your bond may be: partners, friends, family, or another trusted connection. It is about trust, and the wish not to do this alone.

No two pairs arrive with the same reason, and they do not have to. Broadly speaking we see two forms, and both are equally welcome.

Sometimes there is a shared theme: something you carry, want to explore or heal together. This is often the case in romantic relationships. You then journey together in a sense, with a common question as the ground beneath it.

And sometimes each of you makes your own journey: two separate processes, side by side, in the same space. You choose then for each other’s nearness and safety, not for a shared goal. People sometimes choose this because they do not want to be in a group, but do want the trusted company of the other close by.

You do not have to decide in advance which form it becomes. In the preliminary conversation we look together at what is present and attune to it.

Journeying together also asks for something special: leaving space for the other. We believe that healing comes from within, and that is true for both of you. The most beautiful thing you can do for the other is to be there without intervening, without wanting to rescue or steer.

Witnessing someone’s process, precisely at a vulnerable moment, can deepen a bond in a way that words often cannot reach. We hold the space, so that you can leave that to one another.

During this ceremony we work with a plant medicine that has been used for centuries in the traditions of the Amazon. In many cultures she is lovingly called the Sacred Mother Plant, though you may know her better as Ayahuasca.

These sacred plants reveal layers that often stay hidden in everyday life. They invite you to turn inward and to reconnect with your heart and inner wisdom. Sometimes that brings clear insights, sometimes old patterns that may be released, and sometimes simply a meeting with yourself. We prepare our medicines ourselves, with great care for purity and dosage, so that we know precisely what we are offering.

We do not see the medicine as something that does the work for you, but as a guide that opens a door. You both remain the ones who take the steps.

The ceremony takes place at our home. We create a warm, calm and safe space in which you can both fully settle, with attention to atmosphere, music and detail.

Bedding is provided for each of you so you can lie down comfortably. We work with carefully chosen music and, where fitting, subtly with scent, such as essential oils or natural resins, in support of the process.

We do not follow a fixed programme. The ceremony moves with what arises, and with what you need.

You arrive calmly and are given time to land in the space. From there we set your intentions together and open the ceremony in a way that feels fitting. The ceremony itself is fully attuned. We follow the process of each of you as it unfolds, without steering, but held.

Afterwards we close gently and take time to land again. A warm, nourishing meal is ready, after which you sleep in the space. The next morning we begin quietly with breakfast, with room to share and reflect on what has been, before you return home.

Like our private ceremony, a ceremony for two always includes an overnight stay. We do this deliberately and for an important reason: your safety. After a deep experience it is not advisable to go straight back out into the world or get behind the wheel. You therefore stay the night, and only leave after breakfast the following morning.

This gives us the time to check in together the next day, to see how you are doing and to let you truly land. It is not a formality, but part of how we care for you.

We do not believe in steering a process. We do believe in holding it. We listen, feel and move with whatever arises, in each of you. Sometimes that means being close, sometimes it means leaving space. Without judgement, without expectation, but with full presence.

We are not shamans and we do not pretend to be. What we do bring is years of experience, carefully prepared medicines and the presence to be there for both of you, also when it gets hard. Because it can be. We do not pretend this is only soft and beautiful.

We always begin with an online intake, for each of you separately. Here we gather the most important information and form a first impression of your situation. We then arrange a moment to speak briefly, by phone or Zoom. This is a low-key introduction in which we look together at whether this form is fitting, with room to discuss any questions or particulars.

We take contraindications seriously and only work together when it feels right for all sides. Participation is not suitable for everyone, and sometimes we say no. That is part of how seriously we take this work.

What is touched during a ceremony often keeps working long afterwards. That is why we deliberately create room for integration the next morning, during the sharing. For those who come together, it can be valuable to do this together, and to hear what the other experienced.

The journey does not stop when the ceremony ends. For many people the real work begins precisely afterwards, when insights find their place in daily life, and in your bond. That is why we remain available after the ceremony as well, for questions, a conversation or support when needed. You do not have to walk this path alone.
