Having a shaman and a personal orchestra is amazing.. not that I can down a solo experience as that gave me a whole toilet and shower all to myself lol.  Not sure how you are, but when I trip solo, even at high amounts I never feel like I can "really just let go" without panic setting in.  With the group I was with, that was their selling point.  We have an MD on staff, that attends every ritual.  We have a shaman there to bring you back out of your own head if needed.  

It made me feel that for the first time in my life I didn't have to be responsible and hypervigilant (not that it meant I would be reckless, but that I didn't have to watch my vitals every 20 seconds and do "checkins" with myself every 10 or so to make sure I am still on the right mindset or in a mental loop I can't break out from.)

I have heart rate monitors etc when touching MAOI's in case of hypertension etc normally.  Not because I have medical issues, but I am just OVERLY careful with everything.. to a fault.

I felt like I could let go there.

If you have local burns I met a couple of the underground folks at the Mckenna based area's. If you have anything local like a burn, I'd look it up. Burns aren't my thing anymore.  I prefer much more peace and less drunken chaos at things I attend. However, there are always some diamonds in the rough at those.
