Ayahuasca Preparation at AyaWaken
Prepare for an AyaWaken ceremony weekend near Dallas, Texas. Learn about intake review, booking, what to bring and spiritual preparation.
Preparation begins before you arrive. At AyaWaken Church, our prayer-led ayahuasca ceremony weekends near Dallas, Texas, begin with participant screening, clear communication and time to reflect on your intentions.
Begin with your intake
Complete the intake honestly and thoroughly, including your health history, medications, previous ceremony experience and what brings you to this work. An application starts the review process; it is not a confirmed reservation.
We review your intake and email you with next steps. We may ask follow-up questions or ask for clearance from a healthcare professional before we confirm your place. You can also book a free call to ask questions.
Don’t stop or change any prescribed medication without talking to the doctor who prescribed it.
Confirm your weekend before arranging travel
Once you’re accepted, reply to your booking email with your preferred dates and option. We check availability and send deposit instructions. Your deposit holds your date.
Please read the cancellation policy before you pay. The rest of your payment is due four weeks before ceremony. If your date is sooner than that, ask us about payment timing before you book.
Your booking email includes arrival, location and preparation instructions. If you choose ceremonies only, plan a ride after each ceremony on Friday and Saturday.
No ride and no full-retreat lodging? Ask about sleeping on a mat in the ceremony space. It costs $100 per person, per night, with no meals, and you leave the next morning.
Please arrange this ahead of time.
Contact us if anything is unclear or changes.

Make room for spiritual preparation
Take time to consider what brings you to ceremony. Reflection, prayer and journaling can help you put your intentions into words. You do not need to arrive with a perfect explanation or a promised outcome.
Approach the weekend with respect for the sacred nature of the gathering and space to listen. Follow the preparation guidance provided for your circumstances rather than relying on a general online checklist.
What to bring
Staying with us: bring comfortable, loose clothing, toiletries and a journal if you like.
Staying elsewhere: bring comfortable clothing, a pillow, a blanket and a journal if you like.
We’ll send a final packing list with your booking confirmation.

Ceremonies are religious observances and spiritual practice, not medical treatment. Participation is subject to individual screening, and no particular experience or outcome is guaranteed.
