Hey Shel, I logged in to get the link to the podcast Icaro shared in this thread, and saw your post. Apologies for the late response, I have been..... sailing the seven seas... :-)
I'm finally going for my first ayahuasca ceremony on the 26th of May, and it's a weekend retreat which will include 2 Ayahuasca ceremonies, and then those who wish to take San Pedro as well, can do so. I'll be sticking to Ayahuasca only, maybe at a later stage I'll give San Pedro a go. Ayahuasca is a feminine teacher plant, and San Pedro is a masculine teacher plant, so they've called the weekend retreat "Father Sun, Mother Moon", combining the two. This group mainly uses Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Iboga.
I will report back afterwards. I have no apprehension or fear, I feel ready and excited.
If you feel drawn to the medicine, go for it. I've heard many people say that Mother Ayahuasca calls you :-) Just choose a shaman you feel comfortable with, and research him/her well.
