About us
Ayasoulquest: The Journey Back to You
Our Quest
About us here at Ayasoulquest, where the deepest journey you can take is the one inward. We are more than just a platform or a service; we are a dedicated collective built on the unwavering belief that every individual possesses an innate, powerful, and unique connection to their soul’s purpose.
In the rush of modern life, it’s easy to feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or simply lost. Our quest is to provide the compass and the community needed to navigate the spiritual landscape and return to a place of authentic self-discovery and soul-level healing.
We are the leading healing center in the united states and we aim to extend to other countries like Australia and more to facilitate retreat ceremonies based on demand from clients in Australia.
Safe Ayahuasca Retreats & Plant Spirit Healing
Ayahuasca to us is not a drug, it’s a medicine. We can do in few days what conventional therapy may take years to do. But only if you’re willing to step into the experience.
All of our ayahuasca healing retreats feature a balance of highly experienced female and male healers (Onanya) from the indigenous Shipibo-Konibo tribe. Our incredible team of healers together carry hundreds of years of experience practicing the ancient art of ayahuasca shamanism and passing it down to generations. They are supported by our highly trained and knowledgeable Western facilitators, who act as a critical cultural bridge between the healers and our guests.
We have become recognized, by thousands of participants we have supported over the years, as a ‘rebirthing’ center. Our healing work often catalyses a process of awakening, followed by many years of deep process that inspires and informs your ongoing spiritual evolution.
Mother aya is a divine presence, she is and energy, and ayahuasca is the chemical portal to Mother Earth. Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic tea made with plants from the Amazon and is the strongest psychedelic known to man. But this isn’t like lsd. It is important to your inner self conscious. You may have different reactions to ayahuasca like laughing, crying, but all these are emotional relief to ayahuasca. That’s when you truely find healing.
“You can’t be so loved and well cared for and remain the same…”
safety support
Before taking ayahuasca: We apply the most stringent health and safety protocols, including in-depth medical screening. We typically are able to accept approximately 70% of applications for our retreats. Once approved, guests receive detailed guidance on how to prepare for healing with ayahuasca and the initiation of a long term journey of self-transformation.
After taking ayahuasca: The plant-spirit medicine catalyzes a long-term process of awareness rising in your life which can often bring challenges during the process of integration. We ensure you have the support to safely navigate the ongoing process of integration once you return home. This includes pre and post retreat group sessions, access to a private WhatsApp group for ASQ guest community, a team of specialist integration guides, and a tool-kit of materials and practices to support you during post-retreat.
