Psilocybin Mushrooms

Psilocybin containing mushrooms are some of the oldest, most powerful natural medicines. These 'fun-guys', who can also be tough lovers, are celebrated for their transformative effects and offer a unique window into your consciousness, linking you to the profound depths of nature and self.

For millennia, cultures worldwide have recognized the power of mushrooms in healing and spiritual rituals. From the immune-boosting uses in ancient China, to the central role in Mesoamerican spiritual practices, these traditions lay the groundwork for the modern revolution in healthcare. Today, propelled by advancements in neuroscience, we're uncovering the remarkable ways psilocybin can catalyze revelations in mental, physical and spiritual health.

Psilocybin opens doors to new perspectives, allowing for a renaissance of thought and feeling. This has profound implications for treating mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD, as shown here. As if that isn't enough, psilocybin mushrooms' powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-modulating properties are invaluable in nurturing physical well-being and resilience. They are a complete package for living a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Our healing, integration and wellness retreat center harnesses the healing potential of psilocybin, guided by the wisdom of ancient practices and the precision of modern research. We offer a sanctuary for deep exploration and healing with personalized care, empowering you on your journey towards mental clarity, emotional balance, physical health and spiritual awakening. Join us at Dragonfly Awakenings for a transformative experience with our 'fun-guys'.

Kambo

Kambo is possibly the most powerful mental, physical and spiritual cleanser on Earth. Derived from the noble Phyllomedusa bicolor frog of the Amazon rainforest, Kambo is revered by indigenous Amazonian communities for its ability to clean, revitalize and empower your entire being.

Known as the "great revealer" and "jungle vaccine", Kambo, with its powerful spirit and array of peptides, deep-cleans all elements of your being and fortifies the body's natural immune defenses. Physically, Kambo helps with migraines, chronic inflammation, cardiovascular problems and even cancer. Beyond the physical, Kambo extends into all realms of wellness, addressing mental health challenges like addictions, depression, trauma and neurological conditions, providing a profound enhancement to mental clarity and overall energy levels.

At our retreat, we offer a safe and comfortable sanctuary for this transformative revitalization. Guided by experienced practitioners, your journey with Kambo is not just a detoxification, but a reconnection with your inner strength, higher self and Mother Nature herself.

Kambo is highly regarded as a potent medicine in its own right, yet is also considered by some indigenous tribes to be a great complementor for other medicines, especially Ayahuasca and Bufo. The powerful cleansing and strengthening properties allow you and other medicines to go deeper on your healing journey, amplifying the health, love and light you manifest.

Here at Dragonfly Awakenings, we offer individual private Kambo ceremonies alongside the other sacred medicines of Rapéh and Sananga. We invite you to join us for a magical private ceremony booked at your convenience.

Rapéh

Revered in the Amazon as the Grandfather plant, Tobacco produces a potent, masculine and highly-sacred form of snuff - Rapéh. This shamanic medicine is a blend of powdered tobacco and other medicinal plants, leaves, trees and seeds, created in a days long process with endless chants and prayers.

The origins of rapéh can be traced back to ancient times, predating even written history. Indigenous tribes across the Amazon basin have long utilized this sacred snuff as a tool in and out of healing ceremonies for cleansing, healing, spiritual explorations and protection. They believe that rapéh possesses a unique ability to open up the third eye, cleanse the pineal gland, and enhance spiritual awareness. There are many more benefits, both physical and spiritual. For example, purification and cleansing of the sinuses and respiratory tract, enhancement of blood flow to the brain, promotion of a state of alertness and heightened awareness, facilitation of a deeper connection with oneself, others, and the Earth and enhancement of the depth and clarity of Ayahuasca.

In our Brazilian Ayahuasca ceremonies, Rapéh is often used and served by the healers to bring profound energetic and healing benefits. Rapéh helps prepare the body, mind and spirit for the transformative power of Ayahuasca, facilitating a deeper connection and more profound journey of healing and self-discovery. We also sell it in our store and provide guidance on 'right relationship' during our integration sessions, allowing you to work this sacred medicine by yourself and/or in our other healing ceremonies in a safe and respectful way.

In our very first Ayahuasca retreat with the Yawanawa tribe, you can let the sacred energy of this ancient shamanic snuff guide you towards a state of heightened awareness, deeper connection, and profound healing. Our natural medicine retreat awaits you, ready to support you on your path to living your best life.

Let's clear the smoke – cannabis is more than a one-trick pony. It’s a versatile healer, offering a variety of therapeutic benefits.

Diving into the ceremonial cannabis experience will take you on a healing journey for the mind, body and spirit. It’s like having a personal wellness coach that helps you relax, rejuvenate, and rethink the deeper questions of life. Cannabis is often described as a feminine spirit that helps nourish your entire being with love and light.

At our healing, integration and wellness retreat center, we approach cannabis with the mindfulness and responsibility it deserves. We commit to creating a space where you can fully explore its healing potential in a safe, supportive environment.
