Got a request about them. European ayahuasca peddlers in Denmark and Spain who only use their first names. This bunch is a tragedy waiting to happen if it hasn't already. Extremely dangerous and reckless. Here's one account of someone going thru it.
----------
https://www.facebook.com/lukas.storm.christensen/posts/1656653541095805:0
We each have seven pills in our hand with instructions not to eat them before we are told.-..our pills, which contain a powdered substance meant to prepare the digestive system for the ayahuasca. Without this MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor) the DMT (dimethyltryptamine) in the ayahuasca brew would not be orally active. There is some MAOI in the brew, but to make sure we get a potent experience we prepare our stomachs 20 minutes before being served. Then there is a guided meditation which prepares our body and mind for the journey, while we wait for the pills to take effect.
We each get called up to the facilitators (who insist they are not shamans) one by one and get our brew served in a wooden bowl.
....I tried LSD many years ago, these patterns did not frighten me or perplex me as such.
....I am no longer scared of dying, having been plagued by thoughts of suicide for the past ten to fifteen years or so. I let myself die.
....I can’t move. I am in a vegetative state, drooling, sitting in a wheelchair. Am I insane? I am insane. This is what insanity is. My fingers curl, my lips are moving about my face in spastic cramps, my mind is curling in on itself as insanity takes over.
....Oh well, I guess I will have to live with it, I was going to commit suicide anyway. This is my punishment for taking my life and death into my own hands.
....One of the participants is having a tantrum, yelling and screaming. The medicine is giving him a hard time, something he needs to go through. Another participant is also having a rough experience, she is asking to be taken away from the house and get in a car immediately. Still under heavy influence I cannot help the situation....Maybe I am going insane anyway.
....At some point I asked for another bowl, which was readily served to me, I just cannot remember when. There was no “purging” in my case, while many other participants had been violently vomiting....
------
And the European dilettantes running this.

https://spiritofaya.com/about-us/
Jacob has a dark past with extremely destructive behaviour as a drug addict, criminal, lying, cheating, stealing and deeply unhappy person....
Mireille suffered for years with severe depression with extensive self medication as a result and has been treated by the mainstream system without results....
-----
Well of course, depression and addiction and criminal history make you qualified! Mireille first started taking it a grand total of five years ago. Not training with it, but being treated. It's like trusting a mental patient who began their treatment five years ago as your doctor.
Jacob claims to be an "ayahuasquero, yoga instructor, hypnotherapist, journalist...participated in/assisted/facilitated at hundreds of Ceremonies in and out of the Amazon Jungle which he visited numerous times during the last 12 years and received extensive training in facilitating ceremonies from native Shamans in Peru."
None of their alleged teachers are named. Elsewhere they argue there are very few Natives teaching this because they prefer to go work in the cities. That suggest it may actually be partly other Europeans they learned from.
"....We have now arranged hundreds of ceremonies at retreats of 3-8 days in length, with ceremonies of about 12 and occasionally up to 18 participants."
Traditional ceremony is one on one. Pure cash grab.
Most of the ones taking this should never have. They're taking it for frivolous reasons and making silly claims about what it does.
-------
https://spiritofaya.com/testimonials/
....I had experienced a lot of difficult emotions, particularly fear, which had shown up as anxiety, low-moods, a lot of physical pain and imbalance, difficulty with intimacy, and an overactive mind.
....On monday after the ceremony I was a blank canvas, today I have a new job and a new house in the country 1.5 km from work.
....I think I have spent my whole life trying to fit in. Then I encounter a group of people I had never met, on an island I had never heard of. And I feel like a part of the group.
....During the trip, I got another 2 cups and every time I felt I slowly was coming back to a reality check, fate demanded that Jacob looked at me and offered me another cup to which I had no doubt that I should accept. [It's a traditional sacrament, not a cheap high.]
....I must admit that my curiosity was put to the test.…it was the wildest experience I ever had....
------
And yes, strictly for dilettantes.
https://spiritofaya.com/spain/
We have teamed up with Lucia Yoga Which owns a retreat center in the beautiful surroundings of National Park Sierra de Grazalema near Ronda, approximately one and a half hour drive from Malaga...
In addition to the luxurious environment, with no less than five swimming pools, the amazing chef with vegan food as his specialty, rooms with ensuite bathrooms, magnificent views...
-------
This is disturbing....
https://spiritofaya.com/retreats/#private
We have facilitated ceremonies to high profile politicians, business people and celebrities. And we take deep pride in absolute discretion.
------
Their advertising slogan is safe, authentic, and powerful. I'd change it to reckless, fraudulent, and so powerful they don't know what they're doing.

Spain and ayahuasca:
Spain is the country with the highest concentration of ayahuasca detentions in recent years, many of which have been brought to court.
http://ayahuascadefense.com/index.php/national-legal-status/
Denmark:
The Danish High Court has stated that the importation of ayahuasca in Denmark is illegal and, moreover, the use of ayahuasca as a sacrament in religious ceremonies is not protected by Denmark’s religious freedom law.
-
Myth: That a group is legal because it has a site, and their ceremonies are available on Facebook. If it were not legal, it would not be available on line. If they were illegal, they would already have been arrested.
Reality: False. People conducting ceremonies in countries where ayahuasca is illegal to consume should be aware that they would be seen as violating the law. They might get arrested in the future.

Al Carroll NewAgeFraud.org is a multitribal Native activist group of researcher that warns the public of exploiters and imposters posing as Native teachers and healers. Spirit of Aya has never named their alleged Native teachers. Their actions are exploitative, for profit, and racist. They are UNSAFE, INAUTHENTIC, and done for cheap highs by dilettantes.

Mireille and her boyfriend Daniel moved to the Costa del as two and a half years ago when she started the cosmetology program. Here she was a year, and then the couple took home where Mireille finished her education at a Danish cosmetology school. In October 2006, the couple moved back to Costa del Sol again

Daniél, 37: Body Therapist
Daniel's past has been characterized by confusion and a worldview, where money and status were parameters for the worth of a human being. But a prison sentence back in 2011 started his spiritual development, which quickly revolutionized his way of seeing the world and starving, he began to gather knowledge through literature.

He needs his own thread. One of the major figures commercializing ayahuasca. This place he runs will supposedly train you in 8 weeks.
https://www.ayahuascafoundation.org/ayahuasca-initiation-course/
You can see the clients are all white foreigners all playing dress up, playing NDN.
Notice also they call it shamanic, but also call it curanderismo, simply because curanderos are often mixed ancestry and often buy and sell for profit.
Shipibo seems to be the trendiest form of exploitation at the moment. Sometimes you see colonial set ups like this, white foreigner run for other white foreigner tourists, with Shipibo as the lower paid wage laborers.
https://templeofthewayoflight.org/temple-info/meet-our-team/
These spirchul tourists have almost as ridiculous romanticized ideas about the Shipibo as they do about places like Qero. The reality is different.
--------
http://www.amazon-indians.org/shipibo-yage-ayahuasca-shamans-02.html
erhaps surprisingly to those who have only experienced Shipibos involved in touristic enterprises, the Shipibos were not always as peaceful as they are presently, nor was their use of Ayahuasca solely employed for peaceful purposes. Prior to the 1960's, the Shipibos were actively involved in warfare with outsiders and sometimes with other Shipibos. According to Michael J. Harner in his essay "Common Themes in South American Indian Yage Experiences," anthropologists have studied the Shipibo Indians of the Ucayali region of eastern Peru and have reported that a common function of Ayahuasca-taking by shamans is to reap revenge on their enemies. He reports that Shipibo shamans believe that taking Ayahuasca permits the shaman's soul to leave his body in the form of a bird which then can fly to a distant enemy at night. This bird then changes back into the shaman's human form so he can destroy the sleeping enemy. Under the influence of the Banisteriopsis drink mixture, the Shipibo Indians often report seeing giant anacondas, poisonous snakes, and jaguars. Less frequently, other animals are observed in their visions. In addition, Harner reports that often a shaman, taking the drink, believes he acquires giant snakes which are to be his special demons to be used in protecting himself against other shamans in supernatural battles. According to Harner, the Shipibo shamans, under the influence of the drug, believe they imprison other persons' souls with supernatural boats whose demon crews are led by a yellow jaguar and a black puma.

Back to Jacob Pedersen & Co. Take a look at the very detailed questionnaire accompanying these mandatory agreements. Who in their right mind will hand such a plethora of sensitive medical information (including any case of mental illness) over to a couple of convicted criminals?

*Spirit of Aya Health Screening & Full Disclosure
Because some of our tours involve the ingestion/utilization of sacred plants, we carefully screen each guest for their safety prior to attending a tour. All herbal supplements, natural medicines, and medications (prescription and over-the-counter) must be disclosed and subsequently approved for use by Spirit of Aya. All herbal supplements, natural medicines, and medications (prescription and over-the-counter) cannot be taken during the course of the tour without the express permission of Jacob Pedersen.You hereby agree that all information you provide in the application is correct and current and that you have disclosed all physical and psychological conditions as well as all herbal supplements, natural medicines and medications (prescription and over-the-counter) that you are taking. In some cases, you will be contacted personally by one of our staff to ensure that you are prepared for the experience. Spirit of Aya is not a medical facility and its owners, staff, employees and agents are not licensed medical doctors, psychologists, or psychiatrists. We do not practice medicine, diagnose, cure, or treat disease or illnesses. Instead, we function as spiritual guides and teachers and offer ceremony for the purpose of spiritual communion. Dietary & Behavioral Restrictions: Because some of our tours involve the ingestion of sacred plants, there are certain dietary and behavioral restrictions that must be followed. You will be advised of these restrictions when you arrive at the start of the tour. Some of our tours may have a different set of restrictions than contained in the following paragraphs. Each specific set of restrictions should be followed according to the corresponding tour. The amount of sweets that can be consumed on tour due to the use of sacred plants is limited. Consumption of alcohol and street drugs are not allowed at any time during the tour. Consumption of pork or pork products is not allowed during the entire tour and for 30 days after your last shamanic ceremony with sacred plants. You must also abstain from alcohol consumption and the use of street drugs for 7 days after your last ingestion of sacred plants.There is to be no sexual activity whatsoever between guests and/or staff during a tour. This includes married couples. This also includes masturbation. The environment demands abstinence from all sexual activity. Should you develop a sexual or romantic interest in another person, we request that you delay any physical displays or expressions of it until the tour is over. We are not attempting to create a moral or philosophical boundary but preventing the potentially dangerous crossing of energetic fields that can result from sexual or romantic behavior while engaged in shamanic ceremonies. Again, it is not important for the guest to understand this completely, but it is mandatory that the guest observe the rules.
?I accept Spirit of Aya Health screening & Full disclosure
*Spirit of Aya Medications Note
For your safety the Spirit of Aya shamans have a "no medications / vitamins / supplements policy" at the camp (with the exception of birth control pills and anti-malaria medication). Medical studies have shown that mixing medications and some supplements, with ayahuasca can be dangerous and potentially fatal. Spirit of Aya representatives are not licensed to give advice on prescription medications. If you are currently taking medications, please consult with your doctor before discontinuing any medications. If your doctor approves discontinuing your medications and has guided you on the weaning process then we require that most medications need to be fully stopped at least one month before the workshop begins so that your physiology can find safe balance without it. This stability period could be extended up to 6 months depending on the combinations and types of medications being taken.
? I have read and fully understand Spirit of Aya Medications Note

Jacob Pedersen's operation has some commonalities with Trinity de Guzman's http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=4825.0 .
Trinity de Guzman exploited Shipibo and then set up his own business. The screenings/application process looks similar. They both use tipis for their events - Trinity when he operated in USA, Jacob in Denmark.

Back to Jacob Pedersen & Co. Take a look at the very detailed questionnaire accompanying these mandatory agreements. Who in their right mind will hand such a plethora of sensitive medical information (including any case of mental illness) over to a couple of convicted criminals?
Unfortunately, (other than drug tourists who want to be able to boast about vomiting and tripping all night), there are a lot of desperate people out there. Even in the face of convicted criminals, they will shrug off all doubts and hand everything over, just for a chance of salvation. People with serious life threatening physical illnesses hope for a cure. People who have hit bottom with substance addictions and mental illness want help.
These ayahuasca predators promise miracles. Many people feel this is their last hope.

http://www.ayahuasca-ceremonies.org/6.html
What to think of this story that a woman send me recently ( May 2017):
I came back from Ronda, Spain 2 days ago after leaving an Ayahuasca retreat held by an organisation calling themselves “Spirit of Aya”. They are not good people, or maybe they are/used to be but something has hi-jacked them and it is some sort of dark/evil/digital entity posing as Ayahuasca healers. It’s very creepy. I saw it jump between their bodies and I heard it thru the Icaros and it is foul.
Another participant who was in the same retreat is at the point of becoming psychotic and I have no opportunity to help him soon, since I am full booked with other sessions. And beside that these people are not living in the Netherlands, so that is also a complication.
A real experienced ayahuasca shaman from the indigenous tribes in South-America must undergo a very rigorous training of a year-long fasting and daily drinking of ayahuasca with an authentic teacher in a secluded spot in the Amazon. He has to do that in order to get to know all aspects of ayahuasca. And those aspects includes the world of Light and the world of Darkness (Duality- Polarity Game) , the recognition of diseases and how to cure them. The recognition of trauma and the recognition of the associated entities and demons and the knowledge how to liberate them and most of all how to protect the participants against it. That is an incredible hard training and many can’t keep up and give up their ambition to become a ayahuasca shaman.It is too ridiculous for words that, in Europe, many people who drink ayahuasca a couple of times with non-traditional shamans find themselves ready to hold ceremonies.
But also with well trained shamans who come from the Amazon Area, there are a lot of abuses taking place. Sexual abuse of western women who participate in their ceremonies happens very often. The journalist Annie Oak has done a very extensive research into this subject and published the results in an article titled: The abuse of power in ceremonies that use psycho-active substance. You can read it here: http://visionarycongress.org/abuse-of-power-in-ceremonies-that-use-psychoactive-substances/
Many people do not know it, but in the Amazon region it is full with so-called black ayahuasca shamans. These are shamans who work with black magic, demons and entities and thus make other people sick, bring a lot of misfortune and often kill other people. I estimate that half of the ayahuasca shamans in the Amazon is working with the Light realms and the other half with evil and darkness. I myself have met several of those black shamans when I studied in Ecuador and I have had lots of problems with them, like most shamans who work with the Light Forces.
In the Amazon region it is not as peaceful as it all seems. There's a continuous struggle between white and black shamans. This you can also read in all the serious books that have been written about ayahuasca shamanism and of which I'll mention a few below. Black shamans are very dangerous. I personally know three white shamans from Ecuador and Peru who died through black magic. And black shamans also work with ayahuasca. And their ayahuasca sows death and destruction due to the intentions of the black shamans. It is clear that ayahuasca in itself is a neutral force that is guided by the intentions and capabilities of the shaman who works with it.
Another warning: black shamans also travel to Europe to give ayahuasca ceremonies. They pose as angels of light, but in the meantime .............
Two years ago I had to heal and liberate a Dutch woman who was very heavy possessed with black magic. She had for a while assisted in a group of very reputable shamans from Peru who give ayahuasca-ceremonies in Europe and also in the Netherlands. The son of the shaman was in love with her and wanted to marry her. She did not wanted that and had to pay for her refusal.. By the time she came to me for treatments she was completely exhausted and was about to be taken into a psychiatric hospital. She was very severely possessed by demons that these black shamans (father and son, Xia and Xana Bane from the Huni Kui tribe) had put into her. After a total of 9 individual treatments I was able to liberate her. She is definitely one of the worst cases I've ever dealt with. Black magic is the most difficult and dangerous to handle.
She never wants to have anything to do with ayahuasca shamans anymore, but that Huni Kui group of shamans are still giving ceremonies in Europe till today.. The innocent participants admires them and price them highly, but if you join them in a ceremony is it very dangerous and everyone gets a few demons put into his / her energy field. It is not easy for a layman in order to be able to distinguish between good and bad shamans. But one thing is certain, it runs very often all about money. The Amazon region is poverty-stricken and everybody wants to give ceremonies in Europe because of the huge amounts of money involved.. Whether they are white or black or no shamans at all. You just put a feather-crown on your head, you buy a few bottles of ayahuasca, you call around that you are a shaman and every European is bowing at your feet. Any form of critical consciousness does not seem to exist in Europe.
