I totally get your point and, in general, agree with your preference. However, I know my state of mind when I'm at home; I'm distracted/ busy with a lot of other stuff like work, people, and daily little bits and pieces. By comparison with my current situation, I do have a lot of free time plus my mind is much more open and it's easier to integrate and digest.

Thanks for your advice! I will definitely (have to) talk to her in more detail about what she expects and why she wants to join me. Just accompanying me for the sake of not being separated is not a good reason.

Alright. Honestly speaking, the reviews did not mention this as an option back then, however, I'm convinced I can speak with the respective Taita.

I do not question the value of having breaks between ceremonies and, in fact, consider them very important. What surprised me was that the amount of ayahuasca ceremonies varies so much between the healing centers (same period, same price).

What do you think of the San Pedro ceremony (instead of a third ayahuasca intake)?

Thank you for this advice. In principle, I will never choose a place based on price only. However, the price is indeed a key factor, as our travel budget is around $2,000 per person per month - spending an equivalent amount in just a week is beyond our financial capacity.
