Amanita retreats

We invite you to Amanita retreats in India, which help to clear the mind, balance the emotional state and touch your True Self...

According to some ethno-researchers, it was the drink from Amanita that was called the sacred Soma in ancient times.

YOUR guide

Namaste, Im Ali.
Let me tell you a little about my spiritual path...

I have been practicing with different plants for 10 years now - and now I offer healing plant ceremonies for other seekers myself.

But it was not so long ago - in 2022 - that I met Amanita.

And it wasn't just the discovery of the year, it was the discovery of my life, Amanita has become the top power plant I am currently working with, AND HERE'S WHY...

My main spiritual practice is Maha Yoga, the Yoga of Enlightenment, in Hinduism it is the practice of Advaita Vedanta, in Buddhism it is the practice of Dzogchen.

I live in the famous spiritual center of India - Tiruvannamalai - at the foot of the holy mountain Arunachala, which is worshipped in Hinduism like Shiva himself in his last incarnation - and this is not just a legend, - 10 years of living in this place has shown me a lot - I do not know any similar place in India, although I have been to many places.

The ashram of Ramana Maharshi is in Tiru - the famous sage of the 20th century who turned the advaitic culture upside down and showed the direct path and practice of enlightenment - self-enquiry - WHO AM I?

This practice seems too simple to the uninitiated, but there is nothing deeper and faster in the understanding of the Absolute - verified by many gurus who have realized the highest reality.

So the practice of self-inquiry has been the main thing for the last 10 years, and I can say that I have succeeded in some truth.

In my ceremonies I will share the experience and method of self-enquiry with you.

ABOUT RETREAT

More than just a Jorney...

Amanita retreat is not only a mushroom drink and magic trip.

- We go to various retreats and processes for knowledge, don't we?

- But what kind of knowledge are we looking for, what answers do we lack?

- Once I was also looking for answers, looking for some knowledge that would clarify everything in my life.

I've been looking for a long time and you know what I found?

This is not just an understanding, a world view, some kind of correct picture of the world, answers to all questions - oh no ...
I found that the main answer to all questions is MY SELF, - this is our True Self, a deep sense of fullness, inner presence.
And only when we are united with this Self, we no longer need answers.
We no longer need to know or understand anything.
We gain a sense of self-sufficiency and the certainty of acting in the moment, because only from the Self all decisions come easily and are not subject to doubt.

It is our Self that makes us feel confident and knows where to go and what to do.

And most importantly - this awareness in the moment that we are in the right place, that we are living correctly, that we are not outcasts in this world - this is what can really be called true happiness, not dependent on any external conditions.

At the Amanita retreat, I will share with you the method of Self-realization, these are practices that lead to connecting with Your Self, your True Self...

And Amanita is just a tool - at the moment of the ceremony it helps to turn off your mental background, your internal dialogue, to clear your mind - and then I give direct indications of self-inquiry - because only with a pure mind we are able to really follow them - to integrate this practice qualitatively.

Thus, the retreat does not end for you immediately after the ceremony.

You will get an initiation into the practice, you will get a way and a method that you can follow every day and deepen your presence and become more and more self-sufficient and happier.

So I invite you not only to the Amanita ceremony.

I invite you to the Self-Awareness Retreat where you will gain knowledge and skills that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

AMANITA ceremony

We begin with a little sharing and group meditation to feel our true inner intention.
Then we will take Soma, drink Panther Amanita and move on to further practices and immersion in meditation.
After that we will practice a special dynamic meditation "Shamanic Movements" with a shamanic drum, which will allow you to become aware of your movements and synchronize with your breath.
Then we move into the special practice of Sound Breathing and OM chanting accompanied by an Indian harmonica and shamanic drum, which will remove all blockages from the throat, diaphragm and finally release your emotional body.
Move gently into Sat Sound - a sound healing and deep meditation session with the sounds of Tibetan singing bowls and meditation guides.

Now I will talk about one of my expirience with Amanita.

It was Maha Shivaratri in Tiruvannamalai, - I got Panther fly agaric (Amanita Pantherina) and went to the sacred detour of Mount Arunachala - 15 km barefoot - this is called giri pradakshana.

With headphones I listened to Nisargadata Maharaj's book Consciousness and the Absolute...

In the course of my journey, I discovered the magical knowledge of flashing my past and thus changing the present and the future - I had never heard of such a method before, but later I learned that it is used in regressive practices.

And these practices worked, friends, but I want to tell you about an even deeper experience.

After some time, I suddenly felt that my "I", - a rough inner feeling that I exist, as someone separate, - completely dissolved, - I was walking on the road and was everything and nothing, - this experience is described by many mystics as an awakening experience.

Then I went into one of the temples and sat down in meditation, - very soon I experienced the disappearance of all sensations, - I fell into what is called samadhi - everything disappeared, but I, as the only existing one, remained - while it is impossible to describe this experience.

I can only say that it is not like anything - you are, but not in the form of some kind of experience - but simply there - as the bottomless eternity itself, never born and never dying - it was a spiritual breakthrough for me.

At some point I suddenly realized that I might not return - just stay in samadhi - but as soon as I thought about it, I started the reverse process - returning to body and mind.

What else can I say - in subsequent dives I experienced states of extreme clarity and openness of consciousness - these are not psychedelic trips, it does not look like ayahuasca or San Pedro, and even less like psilocybin mushrooms.

Amanita thus became a guide for me to experience the awakening of true nature, the knowledge of the absolute state of consciousness, ultimate clarity, purity and completeness.

In Amanita ceremonies I help you to go as deep into yourself as you can - this is an unusual musical accompaniment with singing bowls and instructions for Thod of Self.

And welcome to the truth...
