The Medicine
What Is 5-MeO-DMT Ceremony?
5-MeO-DMT (5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) is a naturally occurring tryptamine found in several plants and in the secretions of the Bufo alvarius toad. It produces what is often described as complete ego dissolution — a direct encounter with consciousness prior to the sense of a separate self.
Where iboga takes a person through the story of their life, 5-MeO-DMT dissolves the storyteller. There is often little visual content. Instead, there is a profound dissolution of the ordinary sense of being a separate self — what some traditions describe as non-dual awareness.
The active experience lasts 20–45 minutes. Published PubMed research documented significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and stress alongside increases in life satisfaction and mindfulness. The integration — making sense of what was encountered — takes considerably longer.

Honest Assessment
This work is not for everyone
We tell people when this path is not appropriate for them. This is not a sales tactic. It is how responsible ceremony is practiced.
If you are not an appropriate candidate — because of a cardiac condition, current medications, or a state of acute psychiatric instability — we will tell you directly. We would rather lose a potential participant than facilitate an unsafe ceremony.
Read the FAQCardiac contraindications
QT prolongation, significant arrhythmia, or recent myocardial infarction are absolute contraindications. EKG identifies this before ceremony.
SSRIs and SNRIs
Absolute contraindications. A supervised taper conducted with your physician is required before ceremony is possible. There are no exceptions.
Acute psychiatric crisis
Active suicidal ideation, florid psychosis, or significant instability. The experience amplifies what is present. This is not the moment.
Primarily seeking a pleasant experience
These medicines are not recreational. The experience can be profound and disorienting in equal measure.
