The shocking killing of Port Adelaide football coach, Phil Walsh, has highlighted the use of ayahuasca in Australia. Cy Walsh stabbed his father multiple times during a psychotic episode. He had experimented with the drug while travelling overseas and continued to use it in Australia. The courts found the psychosis was not a result of drugs, as there were none detected in his system. But, it is a warning of the possible dangerous effects of ayahuasca. And, it is not clear whether ayahuasca contributed to his ongoing psychosis.
Ayahuasca in Australia
Ayahuasca is not commonly used in Australia with only an estimated 1000 regular users across the country. Facilitators hold ceremonies in different areas with up to 50 people attending. People seeking spiritual enlightenment, a deeper understanding of the world and themselves attend to drink ayahuasca in a supervised environment. These ceremonies are relatively new to Australia with the rituals developed by individual facilitators. They show great respect for the properties of the plants teaching to be cautious in its use.
The DMT is ayahuasca is a Schedule 9 substance and is illegal in Australia. Its safer to just be a pothead.
My mother partner and I are interested in going on a retreat and do some inner healing and have done research on this where in Australia is this occurring?
Hi, I am looking for a credible Ayahuasca retreat to attend. I live in Perth WA and I am not willing to travel to the Amazon to experience it. Can anyone please suggest somewhere safe as I have been suffering from severe depression for the last fifteen years and I am desperate to find relief as I just can’t keep living this life.
Go to rythmia in Costa Rica.
My father and I also would love to try this for some spiritual healing we live in Perth and will travel if needed but also would like to get the two ingredients if able to!
Just spotted your post. Are you and your father still interested in this form of ‘spiritual’ healing? I have many years experience and live in W. A. Feel free to connect with me.
