5 ceremonies. No visions.

Recently I had a 10 day Ayahuasca retreat in Peru. The shamans were fantastic and did their best, the energy was good. However after 5 ceremonies and drinking good amounts of Ayahuasca, I have had no visions at all. I only purged.

I came to this retreat with many questions about my life/future, but I feel like none of it was addressed in my retreat.

Ngl, I’m disappointed with my Ayahuasca experience and feel like I wasted my time and money coming here.

I don’t know why the medicine was blocked and could not work deeper with me. Possible reasons may be: 1. I smoked marijuana 10 days before my first ceremony. Other than that, I followed the dieta as closely as I could (avoiding pork, alcohol, coffee etc.) 2. My mind/ego is too strong/restless for the ayahuasca to break through.

This subreddit has many posts about breakthroughs and incredible journeys. While I’m happy for those who had life-changing experiences, just wanted to share that there are some out there who might not have got the experience they hoped for.

I hope to give Ayahuasca another shot in the future. This time, I’ll avoid marijuana for 3 months before. Any other advice from this community on what I can do/prepare better for next time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
