After tons of Ayahuasca, I did 1 Huachuma ceremony which led to my spiritual awakening. The mind stopped and everything became aligned with the "NOW." It was the first taste of enlightenment. That awakened state is still with me and never left.

San Pedro saved my life, prayed to Jesus and took the sacred medicine and banished that demon. never touched alcohol again 5+ yrs

San Pedro was the most enlightening experience of my life. It broke my ego & introduced me to myself.

For anyone going into a cactus experience, don't overthink it, it's much less mind fucky than other psychedelics, and has some mdma kinda feels mixed with the visuals and other sensations It lasts all day and makes time seem like it's going by slowly, but it's usually always been positive for me

Huachuma is incredible. Its extremely psychedelic but most mellow and calming

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have been assisting in San Pedro ceremonies for over a year and your story echoes experiences of my own and others that I know of. To this day, it surprises me how different every ceremony is, for everybody. I love Mother Aya, and I owe her my deepest respect, but the Grandfather is my favourite. He allows me to apply my skills to support others on their journey in an energy-efficient way. I hope to be able to continue doing this for much longer.

The scenery, tracking shots, and overall tone of this video are absolutely stunning. But I have to say... this was pretty light on information. I was hoping for a little more of a breakdown on what Huachuma actually *is*, though I appreciate everyone's description of their subjective experiences. The "forgotten" psychedelic was not exactly brought back into full knowledge here. I appreciate the effort though. My KZfaq journey continues... peace to you all

The most beautiful part is seeing humans together in harmony, just being. Out here, in this societal maze, there's just friction and an overwhelming egotistical need to stand out.

Tried Peyote Cactus in Mexico and would say it's great for artists, healing plants seem to act as a physical introduction to a metaphysical experience a body-mind soul journey which begins a sense of connection and heals any dis-connection from western mind control.

Beautiful, inspiring, well directed - thank you Aubrey!

One day of San Pedro Lilo Selven in Peru, life changed, career found, future opened. Thank you.

Hey Aubrey Props on the Documentaries you've been a part of, they're always insightful, thank you. And props on playing the flute, looking legit.

Thank you, Aubrey, what I most enjoyed about this film was the sense of grounded joyfulness. The important lesson that we dont have to be jettosned out of body and mind by psychedlics in order to have profound transformative experiences.

There’s something very important missing: Huachuma. The documentary talked about everything except about it. Other important fact, Huachuma cactus grows in the Andes, above 1,000 meters above sea level. What does it have to do with the jungle?

I lived & worked in Bolivia for a few years. I had been using Lsd, Shrooms occasionally for several years. My first time using San Pedro was in Bolivia. It was one of the best psychedellic experiences i have ever had. As Todd below says, it lasted through the day but still allowed one to deal with the life going on around you as it slowly wore off. We actually took a bus back to La Paz from the valley of the white ghosts where we were enjoying being part of everything, I did Ayahuasca later which was a much more viceral experience. Both positive tthough.

Beautifully filmed and communicated, with great reverence for our alive, sensitive, loving and aware Nature. Thank you.

Well done Aubrey! Thank's for the video.

You the man Aubrey. Proud to represent from Atx with ya 👌🏼🌵🌵🌵🌵🍄🍄🍄🍄

Thanks for this film, Aubrey. It has a beautiful vibe and Don Howard seemed to inspire confidence, trust, and love. After seeing this I'm much more willing to do a Huachuma ceremony. 🙏🏻👏

Thanks for sharing. It was of great value to me.

Tomorow it will be this blessed day with this plant 🙏🏼❤️✨🌸🦋🧚🏽

What a beautiful story & cinematography.. Thanks all; for sharing..

I will never forget it. It altered my path drastically.

This world is so beautiful

Hey Aubrey, I'm going to be honest here: I had a lot of trouble finishing this documentary. But let me start with that I love: the atmosphere it evokes, the music, the people, the scenes, the filming, the photographs. That's all great. However, I wanted to learn about Huachuma and the culture around it. I must say that I learned little about that that I did not already know from other psychedelics documentaries. I'm still left with a lot of practical questions: what is the (ancient and modern) history of huachuma? How is it different from other psychedelics such as psilocybin or ayahuasca? What do we know and what do we not know? How are these rituals conducted? I see people drinking all throughout the documentary, but the process is unclear. It seems that people are walking or even being boated around. That's different from ayahuasca ceremonies. Why? What's the thinking behind this? Why did you specifically seek this out? When are people tripping, and when not? It seems people are pretty lucid while tripping? Is this a phase or during the whole trip? It would have been great to have an interview or two intermixed with these scenes. E.g. with an ethnobotanist, a neuroscientist, maybe someone working with other psychedelics in therapy. Maybe I had the wrong expectations, but as a viewer I expected these questions to be answered. More context in the beginning and perhaps a different title would have clarified what to expect. You say that your goal is to 'plug people in'. I think that's a wonderful and noble goal and I'm glad you came to that realisation. However, I don't feel that this documentary is achieving that very much. At least, I suspect it's mostly reaching people who are already somewhat plugged in. The words of wisdom from the participants are wonderful and ring very true to me. However, it's preaching to the choir: I'm already more than convinced of this whole paradigm (although of course, I have a lot to experience and grow still!). I'm afraid that, to someone unfamiliar with psychedelics/the hippie paradigm, a lot of the talk rings hollow and lacks context. Let me reiterate that I DON'T think they are hollow, but that without context they may come across hollow to people. With love, Siebe P.S. Not sure what's happening with my editing. Paragraphs seem to clump together.

Fabulous documentary. The feathers, tons of equist talismans, the smoke, chimes, candles, nature, the unity, honesty, dedication, and love of the group and the beautiful natives. In being brought back to remember that the universe is alive and breathing; that everything is connected. I especially loved the photo taking as well as the photo's themselves. Thank you for sharing your experiences, with us, the masses. Much love and light to all that laid their eyes upon this comment

Thank you. You did an amazing job with this. Thanks you again.

Wow this is really beautiful, thank you for this

so nice to watch. cheers a billion

OMG...just stumbled over this and brought memories back....hope Howard is fine and still among us. Blessings to all sentient beings.

Great video and production! Very powerful 🙏

First time I've heard of this, thank you.

I did it in Cuzco. Powerful experience. I discovered the meaning of being me and now. God resides in now. Beyond any logical explanation..

If upload audio recordings of readings of mystical and illuminating experiences from Pedro or aya or others, would you listen? I am considering doing this. Thank you.

What an absolutely beautiful video thank you for sharing

a third eye opening documentary :)

My Favorite Plant guide and teacher! Love Huachuma!

Love this huachuma its just so magical ..you all need to experience it and be councious of the changes în the following months ...blessings and so grateful for all this medicinale magical plants 🙏💫🤗🌀❤

Really lovely video! Thank you for posting. 😊💖

Stunning documentary, thank you so much 🌟

I started to cry when Aubrey talked about working to get deeper layers. My brother Joey wanted this help before he died

Audry Hi. At 13.53 I felt what you said in another video of yours. "I know brother I know". What a "right" to experience plant medicine with so great and humble shamans. Thank you for sharing.🌈🙏🏼Noemi from Israel.

Thank you Aubrey!

The western sacramental ceremony of the Holy Eucharist is now experiencing a revival with the aid of sacred medicine. We salute our Sisters and Brothers throughout the Cosmos who commune with the source of all being and life and light. May all traditions that provide a portal where people may experience the Divine within be promoted and become more accessible to those who receive the call.

The tipper in the beginning was a nice touch Edit: The tipper throughout the entire documentary was an amazing touch

I'm sad to hear that Don Howard Lawler passed last year, or as the website says ascended. May his beautiful spirit continue to live on.

Nice to see more footage about Huachuma.. I just don't understand why to go to the jungle while the cactus grows in the mountains.. Also to say that don Howard Lawler is the LAST Huachumero, that's ain't right folks.. but thanks for sharing!

Thank you for playing Tipper tracks throughout this documentary. 🙏

Thank you!

thank you

music is lovely... think I'm sold on Mr howards retreat...

This was aww inspiring.. I would so love to experience this journey. I have found some sense of enlightenment thru mushroom journeys but I want to go deeper with much intention. Thanks for sharing this documentary.

Huacuma with teonanacatl showed me the spirit I interact with in a holographic form, beyond an open eyed visual.

I just got back from Spiritquest and it was incredible. Huachuma was one if not the best day of my life. If you feel called go. If not don't. That place is magical

Great documentary, very well done. Love the Tipper.

Cool. Sounds very profound.

beautiful

What's written in our DNA is read to us by psychedelics.

Aubrey! You look so young! I'm doing Huachuma soon for the first time. Thanks for the video!

Your film is intoxicating, have a beautiful day.

Song that starts at 1:03 is Dreamsters by Tipper

GREAT VIDEO

Love how you used tipper so much 🥰

I noticed the people (foreign to the jungle) at the ceremony in the jungle still had their shoes on. THere is no connection to Pachamama when wearing rubber on your feet. It really stuck out to me. I try to stand bare foot every day for at least 15 minutes and have an earthing sheet on my bed. Pachamama gives us EVERYTHING even the medicines and the rubber on the bottom of their feet. Great documentary tho. Thank you

This documentary makes me so sleepy. That flute and the long breaks between talking

I've heard so many wonderful things about magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??

Amazing!! I want to continue to pursue my spiritual awakening with the use of plant medicine. I'm yet to experience this but looking forward to it.. 😍

Love San Pedro

that tipper music tho

Wachuma; Huachuma. San Pedro. {Vivo en la Rioja Argentina; pegadito a los Andes. } Salud buen hombre.

I like the documentary! Does anyone recognise what instrument is the silver rattle bell Howard is using during ceremony?

Thank you San Pedro!!!!

I had Ketamine recently and saw how the universe is like a spunge. The more you tune in the more entangled you become in a stream of consciousness and feel totally free.

I love Achuma!

ayyy I love hearing some Tipper in the beginning of the doc

Wow that was intense...

I just bought my first San Pedro cactus. I look forward to it growing up and one day using it. I got spores to grow shrooms as well. I think it’s time to atleast try my hand at growing them. It’s been a year since I tripped and I need a good reset. Building up all this negativity in my body and mind. Health issues are not good and my wife’s are worse. I need a reset it would help so much.

I will be headed to Peruvian rainforest this summer , my girl is from Lima she wants to take me there we did go to machu pichu and Cusco, my point is can anyone put me on a path to Don Howard ??? I did aya & Huachuma in Gai Segrada in Ecuador 2 years ago and the beautiful medicine has been calling me back very strongly lately. Any help would be much appreciated

Really enjoyed watching this. Hoping to experience this in the Amazon myself some day. I have two San Pedro cacti growing on my windowsill here in not-so-sunny England, but not quite the same as taking part in a traditional Huachuma ceremony in the place the plant has been used for thousands of years. Thank you for making this documentary film. Seemed like a good crowd for company too. Fantastic film work that captured the stunning scenery and vibes so perfectly.

Hey Aubrey! I've been down to Peru twice...done 8 ayahuasca ceremonies..where is this? I'd like to do Huachuma !

Very cool👑

The vision was "fires burning everywhere" .. Definite premonition of the Amazonian Forest in a raging forest fire, as we now see in 2019. The Amazon knew it was coming. So the vision rings true, quite literally in fact.

It took eternity to find eternity

I wamt to try this so bad. The part where he stated that his journey was his 'coming of age' as literally how i felt after my last trip. I did 16 g of shrooms and it changed my life. It was my coming of age. Id love to try this.

What are the risks with what is commonly known as a regular to large dose?

I so much wish to get there as much as posible.

Aubrey the Two Docs you made should be available on Amazon Prime or Netflix. That would reach more people.

Mescaline is very euphoric and comforting really hard to have a bad trip

I've done a ton of San Pedro... it is a teacher for sure

Walk the path that cant be followed

Y u. Ot gove tipper any shoutout for using the music? Is this an older peice of music may e dave used in one of his ambient mixes at cosm?

Tipper!!! I recently became a fan of his. I really wish I would’ve looked into his music the first time I watched this 2 years ago..better late then never lol I put him up there along side Aphex Twin as one of the Greats.

We cultivated that science

Para El Bien De Todos ❤️

The song around 40:00 is very good. Can anyone tell me where to find it?

No attachments, no judgements, don't fight it, surrender, have a strong intention, any other recommendations?

I wish these ceremonies were free..

Does anyone know what the Shaman was smoking? just curious as to how that plays into the experience. I am seriously considering a trip to the jungle.

The San Pedro is legal and available in America. Oakland has legalized many entheogens, while it must be quite an experience to go to the Amazon rainforest , it's very expensive and going to one of these types of places down there will add to the expense. For true spiritual seekers who don't have that kind of cash, Oakland is an option. I have no idea where in Oakland you will find a setting that suits you but I suppose you could create one. I wouldn't think running around the city fits the profile but if you could create an indoor sanctuary for the experience or are aware of an appropriate outdoor/indoor spot you won't have to spend all of that money to commune with The Great Spirit. Those who are seeking shall find...
