		<description>I am highly interested in the usage of ayahuasca for spiritual and psychological healing.  I have been interested in trying ayahuasca for a few years now.  

I am interested not as a drug, but a tool to use upon my spiritual journey.  I have used other plant teachers like marijuana, and while it&#039;s powerful, I do not believe it&#039;s effect are what I am looking for at this juncture in my life.  I want something more, to give me the dark night of the soul.

I am scared, but at the same time over joyed to face my demons, and traverse into the very pits of my own hells that I have created within my own consciousness.  I wish to enact a spiritual shift in my path, similar to Jesus performing his 40 day fast in order to defeat his inner demons.

I have come to a point in my life that I wish to shed off my old self, and be born again.  I believe ayahuasca can give me this healing that I so desperately need.  I will be doing ayahuasca at my home.  This is not the preferred method, but I currently do not have the money to go to the amazon for a real initiation by a real shaman.  In due time I will make the journey to the amazon.

Cannabis was fun and powerful substance, but I wish to move beyond the mere recreational usage of plants.  I wish to know my self and enact a spiritual transformation and generate what Buddhist call bodhicitta (the desire to pursue enlightenment).

I wish to free myself from my own attachments and addictions, and from what I read, ayahuasca is well suited for that.  I wish to completely abstain from the usage of recreational drugs like alcohol and marijuana, as I believe they are forms of escapism and attachment.

My main goals for ayahuasca it to help me generate bodhicitta, detoxing from recreational substances, and a dark night of the soul.  Any suggests would be much appreciated.</description>

		<description>&quot;Does anyone know of an experienced guide that performs Ayahuasca ceremonies in the northeast US?&quot;

Hi Joel, sorry but this site cannot work as a promoter for healers or medicine circles, thats really outside of the aims of the site, which is to act simply as an information resource.</description>

		<description>Great informational service. 

I have participated in ceremonies both in Peru and this country. I am very interested in some quality sources and directions in making my own brew. I consider this medicine one of the greatest gifts to the world.

Thanks and blessings
