The Ayahuasca

Space

can feel hard to

navigate.

We provide professional guidance, help you get clear on your needs, and find a retreat that's genuinely right for you. There's more information about ayahuasca and plant medicine out there than ever before and most people still don't know where to turn. The Conscious Collaboration exists to bring clarity, safety, and genuine guidance to a space that often lacks all three.

A simpler way to navigate the

Ayahuasca space

The Conscious Collaboration was created to help people make informed decisions in a space that can often feel confusing and overwhelming. In this short video, Jarrod shares why this work matters and how we help people find the path that's right for them.

WHY TCC EXISTS

The space you're trying to enter

is full of noise.

Every day, people drawn to ayahuasca and plant medicine are faced with an overwhelming amount of information. Some of it is helpful. Much of it is opinion. Some of it can do more harm than good. Without experience, it can be difficult to know who to trust or where to begin, especially when it comes to finding a retreat or ceremony that's genuinely right for you. That's exactly what we're here for.

WHERE WE WORK

Years of experience across the world's most significant

plant medicine destinations.

Our guidance is shaped by real, hands-on experience across the world’s most established plant medicine communities, backed by trusted partnerships with vetted retreat centres in every country we recommend.

Peru

The birthplace of ayahuasca ceremony as the world knows it. Peru holds some of the oldest and most respected plant medicine traditions on the planet, with a depth of indigenous knowledge and ceremonial lineage that is unmatched anywhere else.

Costa Rica

A welcoming and well-established destination with a thriving retreat community. Costa Rica attracts some of the most experienced facilitators in the world and offers a safe, beautiful environment for deep plant medicine work.

Colombia

Home to ancient and living traditions, including the ceremonial use of yagé by the indigenous Inga communities of Putumayo. Colombia offers a raw, authentic connection to plant medicine in its most traditional form.

Ecuador

A less widely known but deeply significant destination, with strong indigenous traditions and experienced facilitators working in some of the most breathtaking natural environments in South America.

Brazil

A country with its own rich and diverse relationship with plant medicine, encompassing both indigenous traditions and established ceremonial communities that have been working with these medicines for generations.

Europe

A growing hub for plant medicine and consciousness work, offering accessible, well-structured retreat experiences for those who prefer to work closer to home.

Who Do We Help

You don't need to have it

all figured out.

People come to us from many different places. Some are taking their first steps into the plant medicine world. Others have been researching for months and still don't know where to turn. What they share is a feeling that something is drawing them to this work and the wisdom to know they want to approach it carefully, responsibly and with confidence

You feel called to this work, but want to approach it responsibly with confidence

Something about this path resonates deeply with you. Maybe you've been considering it for months, or perhaps something you've experienced in life has prompted you to explore it further. You aren't looking for someone to convince you. You're looking for honest guidance that helps you understand what this work involves, how it can help you, and trust your choices.

You’ve been researching but still feel unsure

Perhaps you've listened to podcasts, watched documentaries, joined online groups, and spent countless hours reading about ayahuasca retreats. Yet instead of gaining clarity, you've found yourself facing more questions than answers. Every centre seems to tell a different story. Every person seems to have a different opinion. You know this is an important decision, and you want to make it with confidence rather than guesswork.

You’d like guidance from someone who genuinely understands the space

The internet can provide information, but information isn't always the same as understanding. Sometimes what people need most is the opportunity to speak with someone who has spent years working within this world, understands ayahuasca deeply, the holistic process and the differences between retreat environments, and can help them navigate their options with from the perspective of what's best for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ayahuasca and plant medicine ceremonies carry inherent physical and psychological risks. We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified medical professional before proceeding, particularly if you have existing health conditions or are taking medication. Our role is to help you understand those considerations fully so you can make an informed decision.

Readiness looks different for everyone. It involves a combination of intention, physical and mental health, practical circumstances, and genuine motivation. Our consultation process is designed to help you understand exactly where you are — and to be honest with you if the timing is not right.

Yes. Many of the people who come to us are taking their first steps into this world. You do not need prior experience — you just need an open mind and a genuine curiosity about what this work might offer you.

An eligible participant is someone who meets the criteria to progress to a consultation call. As The Conscious Collaboration receives its income to keep doing the great work we do and keep it at no cost to participants, while its no obligation, its important that if a consultation call is booked the participant is in a position to make a decision if we can find the right fit.

Eligibility is based on a number of factors including budget, readiness to book, location, physical and mental health conditions — both present and past — and current medication. These are assessed through our short qualification form, which helps us understand where you are and whether a consultation is the right next step.

Yes absolutely. You can join our newsletter, we will also send you emails with information, you can watch our videos on YouTube and follow us on social media.

Yes absolutely. We will keep in touch, and when you are ready we are here to help.

Our consultation and placement service is at no cost to you as a participant. We receive our income directly from our retreat partners, which means you receive genuine, professional guidance with your best interests being the focus of our work.

Most retreat directories show you a list of options and leave you to figure it out. We do the opposite — we take the time to understand who you are, what you need, and whether you are genuinely ready before we ever discuss a specific retreat. The recommendation comes at the end of a real conversation, not the beginning.

A consultation call is not a sales call. It is an opportunity to speak directly with Jarrod or one of our experienced guides, gain an honest and informed picture of what working with ayahuasca actually involves, and explore what kind of experience might be right for you. There is no pressure and no obligation.

We currently work with vetted retreat partners across Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Brazil, and Europe. Each destination has been chosen for the quality, tradition, and integrity of the work being done there.

Every retreat centre we work with has been vetted based on safety standards, facilitator experience, the integrity of their practice, and their track record with participants. We only recommend centres we genuinely believe in.

This is one of the most important things we explore during our qualification and consultation process. Certain health conditions and medications can be contraindicated with ayahuasca. We take this seriously and will always give you an honest assessment of what that means for your situation.

Fill out our short qualification form. It takes a few minutes and helps us understand where you are in your journey. From there, if you meet the eligibility criteria, we will be in touch to arrange a consultation call.
