About this blog

Have you been with Ayahuasca International, Alberto Varela, o any of their affiliates? Would you like to share your experience in a safe way so others might learn from it?

This blog aims to be a collective portrait, where many voices come together to speak honestly about this business dedicated to the commercialization of ayahuasca.

  • We encourage people to share their personal experience
  • We only accept first-person testimonies (I was there, I saw, not I heard, or I was told that) 
  • We promise to maintain anonymity of contributors
  • If you have a story to contribute please write to conoci.a.varela@hushmail.com 

CLARIFICATION: Varela often claims that his critics do so out of "envy."  That is, they are people who somehow wish to have what he has.  We want to clarify no one involved in this blog runs ayahuasca sessions, we are no Varela's competition.  There is nothing Varela has that we want for ourselves.
We are simply a group of people who feel OUTRAGED by Varela's unethical practices, abuses of power, and commercial manipulation of a preparation that some people consider sacred.
