About Ayahuasca Ceremonies

[Shambalaa]

So,

I have been reading from some books that womens are not always allowed to have a ceremonies with curanderos, is this true? I would imagine that there is no reason for denying womans. Do you Nexsus people have any experiences or thoughts about this? My personal worry here is Ayahuasca ceremonies.

Thanks!

look at the ayahuasca forums..lots of women there who have drunk with curranderos.

I saw on a documentary that women(& women shamans respectfully) are not supposed to attend when they are bleeding as it directs the shamans visions towards that wound and makes it hard to see where the problem lies with the other attendees of the ceremony.

Relatedly, some sweat lodge ceremonies won't include women on their cycle, since that is considered a ceremony unto itself and shouldn't be mixed with other ceremonies.
