Not for everyone. Only for the ready.

What this is

A faith-based community rooted in prayer, reflection, and sacred ceremony.

AyaWaken is a prayer-led church offering ayahuasca ceremony in a calm, structured, and reverent setting.

Each gathering is small and intentional — held with care, tradition, and respect for those who come seeking truth. We are not a retreat or a tour. We are a congregation, and the medicine is our sacrament. The work asks honesty, preparation, and a willing heart.

Each ceremony is a prayer.

The Journey

Held from the first breath to the last.

01

Preparation

Arrive ready. A guided dieta, daily reflection, and clear intention in the days before you come.

02

Ceremony

Two ceremonies across a weekend. Prayer, sacred song, and individual pacing — nothing rushed or forced.

03

Integration

The work continues after the cup is empty. A guided integration call and ongoing, open support.

04

Safety

Honest screening, trained facilitators, and a held, confidential space. Care comes before all else.

Sacred Gatherings

A weekend held in prayer.

Two ceremonies, Friday through Sunday, in a quiet and protected space. You arrive a stranger to the work and leave held by a community.

Mark & Chloe
Those who hold the space

Led with humility.

Mark walks a path of dedicated apprenticeship in traditional Amazonian ceremony.

He carries this work with humility and respect for the lineage that shaped it. Chloe tends the community and the ceremonial space with steadiness and care, so that every person who comes is met, seen, and held. Together they keep AyaWaken small — by design, and by conscience.

I came carrying years I did not know I was holding. I left lighter than I have been in my life.
