Ceremony Guide - Paulina
Paulina is an Ecuadorian medicine woman dedicated to supporting others in their healing journey. She has worked with traditional and ancestral medicines for more than 15 years, including ayahuasca, aguacolla (San Pedro), peyote and mushrooms.
After living with the indigenous Shuar community of the Amazon, their elders gave her the blessing to continue her work as a curandera. She has also shared with and learned from the Shipibo in Peru and the Piaroa in Venezuela, among other indigenous peoples.
Paulina hosts regular women’s retreats in Ecuador and Mexico where ancestral rituals and medicines are used to facilitate deep personal work and transformation. She is the Founder of an international women’s collective, Mujeres de Luna, and is also a trained Gestalt therapist.
Finally, she is a leader of the Sacred Fire of Itzachilatlan, a sun dancer, vision quester, and recipient of the Chakana altar, Andean table, and Heart of the Carnation altar from the Andean elders.
The ceremony guide is usually accompanied by 1 or 2 ceremony assistants, depending on ceremony group size.

What to expect from this ayahuasca ceremony / what not to expect
This is not the typical ayahuasca ceremony geared to foreigners. It is a very authentic space and group, often comprised more of Ecuadorians and residents than foreigners.
Ceremonies take place in a home and garden (depending on weather). This is not a hostal or lodge.
Since Quito is in the Andes, the temperature drops significantly in the afternoon. Be prepared and take warm clothes. This is also why ceremonies may take place inside, where it’s warmer.
Expect simplicity, honesty and a home environment where everything is done with loving intention.
