Ayahuasca is the root from which much of our inner work grows. As the traditional mother medicine of the Amazon. Brewed from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the leaves of Psychotria viridis (also known as chacruna), ayahuasca has profoundly shaped Dewi Louise's path and the philosophy of Alamyn. Many of the people who find their way to us have already worked with ayahuasca and are seeking integration, continuation, or a more accessible container. We hold that lineage with deep respect.

Psilohuasca is the medicine at the heart of Alamyn's ceremonial work. It combines psilocybin, derived from mushrooms or truffles with an MAOI, which extends and deepens the psilocybin experience in a way that echoes the traditional ayahuasca framework. This combination produces a longer, more layered journey that tends to move through the body, the emotional field, and the deeper layers of the psyche in a way that a solo psilocybin experience often does not.

We work with psilohuasca because it allows us to honor the depth and intention of the ayahuasca tradition - including its emphasis on ceremony, lineage, and integration - within a legal framework in the Netherlands. It is a young medicine in the Western sense, but it draws on ancient wisdom.

Psilocybin is the primary psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms and truffles. In shamanic traditions, the spirit of the mushroom is known by many names. In Mazatec tradition, as Los Niños, the little ones, playful and profound in equal measure. Psilocybin interacts with the brain's serotonin receptors - particularly the 5-HT2A receptor - leading to expanded perception, heightened emotional sensitivity, and altered states of consciousness that can range from gentle and clarifying to deeply confrontational.

Ongoing clinical research is showing significant therapeutic potential for psilocybin in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. At Alamyn, we hold this within a ceremonial and integrative framework - not as a clinical intervention, but as a living encounter with a form of intelligence that has much to teach.

Rapé is a sacred snuff used ceremonially by various indigenous Amazonian traditions, made from Mapacho (a native tobacco) combined with medicinal plants and tree ash. It is used for grounding, energetic cleansing, and opening clarity before or during ceremony. We work with rapé with respect for the traditions it comes from and under the guidance of experienced practitioners.

Ceremonial cacao is not a psychedelic, but it is a genuine plant medicine with a long history of ceremonial use, particularly in Mesoamerican traditions. It opens the heart, softens the emotional field, and creates a quality of presence that makes it a natural companion to integration work, breathwork, and ceremony. We work with cacao regularly. Both as a standalone offering and as part of combined ceremonial containers.
