Hola Amigos. I have no choice but to post this publicly for the sake of harm reduction. I dont know any other community that I can trust with this query.
A dear friend of mine has invited me to an Aya ceremony that he has been to before multiple tiems. The monetary cost is very high but that is perhaps a subjective opinion. We are talking close to €1000 for 2 days, one aya session, one mescaline.
Organised ceremonies at this price are not something I would consider. I would participate due to a strong desire from my friend to share the experience with me.
The cost is not my concern. The red flag is the 21 page document they are asking participants to fill out. They require full name, D.O.B, address, phone number, email, medical history, sexual preferences including frequency of masturbation and relationship to pornogrpahy if applicable. They even ask if participants have children or not. What for? They ask for address of registered doctors surgery and name of your doctor. Huh?
There is a lot more on top but I will spare the details. They want all this information completed and emailed to them 8 days before the ceremony. Not given face to face, but uploaded to the internet. Red flag alarms rising massively.
The country where this ceremony is to take place has a zero tolerance policy on psychedelic consumption not even for religious exemptions. So this is an illegal event, no reason to behave like a business covering it's liability. Completely black market.
Now I'd like to make very clear, I have no reason to think there is malicious intent. It is absolutely possible that these people are working sincerely through love and light with good intentions.
The whole document is stated as being necessary 'to give the maximum ability for the organisers to help each individual as much as possible'.
But this 21 page document is like nothing I have ever seen before. I would be most appreciative to hear any intuitions or experiences that could help me understand if my red flag alarm is valid or not.
Sorry for long post.
Ciao!
