This book was very handy to read, it helped me and guided me in my journey with those magical plants from the Amazon, it's full of useful information on the preparation and the integration of such a strong experience! I would recommend to anyone who never experienced the potency of those plants but also to the one who are familiar with it ..there is always more to learn!
Thanks to Hannah for putting together such a valuable book.

Beautifully written and grounded guide by Hannah. Super intuitive to read and use during, before and after ceremony. Good to have someone put into a book what we all need for integration. Highly recommend.

Wonderful guide for anyone who feels called to explore Ayahuasca in a responsible and conscious way. I believe it is also valuable for those who are still unsure or may never choose to experience it. The journaling prompts and reflective exercises stand on their own as meaningful tools for self-inquiry and personal growth.

I really appreciated how aligned this book felt with my own perspective, particularly its emphasis on awareness, intention, and integration, not only in preparing for the experience, but in supporting deeper, lasting transformation afterward.

My first encounter with psychedelics was life-changing, and since then I’ve been fascinated by their potential to shift perception, enhance neuroplasticity, and transform long-standing patterns of thought and behavior. I see plant medicine as a powerful tool that can support healing in a world that often feels out of balance. It’s part of why I’ve felt drawn to Ayahuasca for a long time, but it’s not something I would approach casually, especially for a first experience.

I wasn’t sure where to start or how to find the right ceremony, and this book was exactly what I needed. It helped me feel more prepared and gave me practical tools to navigate the whole process in a way that feels truly aligned. I’m genuinely grateful that Hannah created this guide, it came at the perfect time and gave me precisely what I was looking for.

I also really appreciated the personal experiences shared throughout the book. I deeply related to them and felt seen in my own reflections. The recipes at the end were also a lovely addition, and I loved that the author created the illustrations, they’re absolutely beautiful.
