Psilohuasca is a sacred union between two plant realms:
the psilocybin-containing mushroom or truffle and a MAO-inhibiting vine — most often Banisteriopsis Caapi, the Ayahuasca vine.
Together they form a gateway to the inner world: a dance between earth and sky, between insight and feeling, between seeing and embodying.
The roots of psilocybin reach back to Central America, where Teonanácatl— “the divine mushroom” — was used for centuries by indigenous peoples inrituals of healing, prayer, and communion with nature and the spirit world.
The vine, native to the Amazon, was brewed in South America as Ayahuasca — a sacred medicine that weaves together body, mind, and soul.
In Psilohuasca, these two ancient traditions meet.
The MAO inhibitor from the vine opens the body and slows the breakdown ofpsilocybin, allowing the experience to deepen and last longer.
This makes Psilohuasca a powerful yet often gentler form of Ayahuasca — more visual, introspective, and heart-centered, while also touching deep emotional layers.
The mushroom and the truffle are two expressions of the same living organism — a mystical network that lives, breathes, and communicates beneath the earth with trees, roots, and plants.
Where the mushroom rises visibly above the surface as the fruit of this web, the truffle (sclerotium) grows quietly below, in the depth of the soil.
Both carry the same active compound, psilocybin, and thus the same spiritual essence.
In ancient traditions, the mushroom was seen as a messenger between worlds — a being that helps us remember our connection to the greater web of life. The truffle holds that same wisdom, but carries the energy of grounding, stillness, and inner growth. It works from the depth upward — a gentle calling from the earth.
Both forms bring their own character to the journey.
The mushroom can feel like an opening toward the light — clear, expansive, andvisionary.
The truffle feels more rooted — inviting you to soften, to sink, and to come home to yourself.
Together they remind us that light and dark, heaven and earth, are not opposites but two expressions of the same life force.
Psilocybin affects the serotonin system and opens perception, allowing colors, sounds, emotions, and memories to be experienced more vividly.
The Caapi vine contains Harmine, Harmaline, and Tetrahydroharmine— natural, reversible MAO inhibitors that prolong and deepen the psilocybin’s effect.
They bring a grounding, enveloping energy that is often felt as “the voice ofthe earth.”
A Psilohuasca journey typically lasts between four and six hours.
The experience is often visual, emotional, and rich in symbolism.
Where Ayahuasca sometimes works through physical purification (such as vomitingor sweating), Psilohuasca moves more through the heart and consciousness.
It invites softness, surrender, and understanding — an inner journey in which images, emotions, and memories come together into a profound sense of connection with yourself and with life.
True healing happens after the experience — in everyday life.
Psilohuasca opens the door, but you are the one who walks through it.
What is seen or felt during the journey gains meaning only when it is embodied— in your words, your choices, your relationships.
That is why rest, silence, and gentle attention after the ceremony are just as important as the journey itself.
