Ayahuasca Cielo: Sacred Medicine From the Amazon

Our medicine

The Ayahuasca We Serve

We work with Ayahuasca Cielo, the classic blend of the Ayahuasca vine and Chacruna leaf, prepared for us by Amazonian and Colombian medicine families. We personally collect the medicine and hand-carry it to Mexico, or the families bring it to us themselves.

In this way we preserve the integrity of the medicine and our connection to it, joining our rezo (prayer or sacred intention) to theirs: a commitment to let Spirit, our Being and the medicine guide the work, sustained by the Divine frequencies of Love, Light, Peace and Gratitude.

The Shipibo-Konibo tradition

Sound, Sacred Geometry & Consciousness

The Shipibo-Konibo of the Amazon believe sound, sacred geometry, and consciousness are interconnected.

Through Ayahuasca, they experience geometric visions called Kené, while sacred songs called Ícaros guide their spiritual journeys.

In their tradition, sound can be seen as geometry, and geometry can be expressed through song, connecting vibration, nature, and consciousness.

Listen to your heart

Is Ayahuasca for You?

Six reflections from our medicine family for anyone feeling the call.

  1. 01

    The choice is yours

    The decision to work with plant medicine is yours alone, and your experience will be unique to you. Anything you read or hear is another person's journey.

  2. 02

    Feel the call

    We say we feel the call to plant medicine, and that call comes from the heart. Set the mind aside and listen.

  3. 03

    Intentions shape the journey

    Your intentions, will power and trust in the process shape the results. It is a deep dive into the whole self, shadow and Light.

  4. 04

    Be curious

    Think of it as a fact-finding mission with your spirit as mission director. Spirit is an infallible guide.

  5. 05

    Trust what comes up

    What arises is exactly what you need. Then act on your new perceptions; that is the path of transformation.

  6. 06

    Only we transform ourselves

    The path is as difficult or as easy as we perceive it to be.

“Vines and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.”

Bernard de Clairvaux

Before you drink

Intentions, Not Expectations

An intention is different from an expectation. Intentions are open to endless possibilities: we express what we seek and stay receptive to whatever answer appears. An expectation is limited to one answer, in the way we want it. Set an intention, drink the medicine, then free the intention, trusting Spirit to answer. The form the answer takes may well be the message.

Our expectation is that everything changes, and everything in every moment is perfect.

What the Medicine Gave Them

WOW! What a week! Where to begin…my week was glorious. Not to say there weren’t moments of rough. Growth happens when one is uncomfortable. Sharon, Sandra & Ino… they are jewels. They made me feel so safe. So loved. So cared for. The details right down to the music are well thought out. These three are a very loving well oiled machine. Their passion for what they do and what the medicine does is very obvious. If I had resources I’d send everyone. This world would be a better place. I am better because of this experience. My heart is profoundly different. ❤️

I have journeyed with several medicine servers. Never have I met a more proficient, powerful team of space holders as Sandra, Ino and Sharon. Their synergy is beautiful and I feel completely safe sitting in ceremony with them. I have attended 3 of their retreats over the years; each retreat brings new insights, homework, healing, and life-long friendships. The schedule honors the medicine and everyone’s process. So glad I found Bluestone! If you’re considering a retreat with them, rest assured: you are in very capable hands.
