"A significant improvement in my quality of life"
This was my second time at Rythmia. The first time I had such a profoundly life-changing experience that it was actually quite overwhelming. Wasn't sure what to expect this time but once again I experienced a significant improvement in my overall quality of life (although in a much gentler way this time around). I am so thankful to Gerry and the entire Rythmia staff for allowing me this opportunity. I had been practicing mindfulness and doing other self-healing practices (had also tried therapy and hypnotherapy) for 10 years prior to my first visit to Rythmia in an effort to heal the CPTSD, depression, and anxiety I developed during a difficult childhood and adolescence. I had come a long way but I was able to realize things at Rythmia that would have been impossible or taken decades longer on my own. Can't express enough how lucky I feel that this place exists...It's not the most inexpensive place to do Ayahuasca but for me it is worth the feeling of being safe (because of the doctors, nurses, security guards, and just generally friendly and helpful staff). You hear horror stories of poorly supervised ceremonies elsewhere where people die or women are assaulted and I can't imagine how awful that must be. Also can't help but mention that I like the food at Rythmia...organic with lots of gluten-free and vegan options for those of us with allergies or dietary restrictions. :P
