9-Day Ayahuasca Cooking Course
After completing one of the above options, students have the option to spend 9 days at an indigenous chacra (family home compound) learning how to harvest ayahuasca and chacruna and cook the ayahuasca brew with prayer, song, and intention. At the end, students will prepare and lead their own ayahuasca ceremony with the teachers and facilitators.

Schedule
July 12 - 20
Full Unit 3: June 27 - July 20, 2027. Choose to do any one portion of this unit as a stand-alone session.
"Optional 3 weeks in Peru in July" The Dieta starts June 27; the shared course ends July 20. Dates are correct. This is 2 days longer than 3 weeks, but I am sticking to 3 weeks for ease of communication.
Individuals may register for the Ayahuasca Cooking Course without registering for any other Unit sessions.
