I respectfully disagree this is exactly why this site exists for people to learn and do it themselves as safely and responsibly as possible. Paying hard earn cash for a "ceremony led by a trained professional" can often be predatory practice and can cost the individual alot of money and potentially put their lives at risk there's plenty of stories of this in the news, on other forums as well as here on nexus.Making ayahuasca at home can be risky and dangerous, especially without proper knowledge and guidance. It's not like cooking or baking a cake. Ayahuasca involves powerful plants like mimosa and caapi, which can be harmful if not used correctly. Plus, it's essential to respect indigenous traditions and the sacred nature of this brew.
It's best to leave the preparation to experienced practitioners who understand the plants and the spiritual significance of the process. If you're interested in exploring ayahuasca, it's safer to seek out a reputable retreat or ceremony led by trained individuals who can ensure your safety and well-being.
The idea of nexus is to learn and share so everyone has access to this information. If safety and risk is taken into consideration there's no wrong or right way to trip everyone likes to trip differently and no one group has a monopoly on how it has to be done.
As a side note I'm not discounting that different settings can invoke different / deeper experiences, that is to say I'm not discounting the power that traditional ceremonies can offer.
