having sat & drank in quite a few ayahuasca ceremonies with medicine men & women from colombia & brazil & mexico, i can easily and categorically say that it is the most intense thing i have ever experienced. you have to be careful with the package tours, there are people doing good work but there are also some charlatans that in engage in all manner of unscrupulous practices. there are networks of itinerant healers throughout the world and a little legwork will probably get you plugged in.
and the music in the ceremonies, my god. so beautiful.
i remember walking through the woods with one of the shamans the morning after once, he was telling me all these incredible stories. i told him that he should write a book, to which he replied, "no, no books. i can barely read, i can barely write. i have a few books. plants are books with all the pages in them." which you can take for what it is worth.
holy mountain is good, kind of bad vibey. sweet don cherry soundtrack though.
