  • What are the benefits of plant-based medicine with MAO inhibitors?
    Plant-based medicine with MAO inhibitors has been used in indigenous medicinal traditions for thousands of years. The scientific world has studied the benefits of plant-based medicine since the 1850s and has repeatedly reported positive effects on behavior, cognition, spirituality, and consciousness. As scientific research continues, promising results are emerging in neuroscience, mood and mental disorders, addiction, and habit formation.
  • What to Expect from a Plant-Based Medicine Journey
    A plant-based medicine experience gently opens the door to thoughts and emotions you may usually avoid in daily life, fostering a deeper connection with yourself. This journey can help you address a wide range of personal issues, enhancing self-awareness and insight. Plant-based medicine is known to boost the brain’s neuroplasticity, making it easier to break old thought patterns and replace unhelpful habits with positive behaviors. For the most transformative experience, our journeys are guided by Mark, our skilled Peruvian-trained shaman, who offers compassionate support throughout the process.
  • How do I know if plant-based medicine is right for me?
    There are two main considerations when taking plant-based medicine: your physical and mental health and the timing in your life. If you are receiving treatment or taking medication, please consult your doctor. As for timing, trust your intuition. Do you have enough time and space in your life? Are you in a balanced and open state of mind? The tools we offer are designed to help you create the optimal conditions for mind and body.
  • How do I get the most out of my experience?
    Your experience and the duration of its benefits are likely to improve when you’re well-prepared. We offer a variety of practices to create the right mindset and environment for a meaningful, insightful, and safe journey. We will give you detailed practical information on dietary recommendations and help you find peace of mind through meditative practices and breathwork before and throughout the ceremony retreat.
  • Is taking an MAO-inhibiting plant-based medicine brew safe?
    MAO-inhibiting plant-based medicine brews, when used responsibly and in a safe environment with trusted individuals, are generally considered safe. These infusions work by combining naturally occurring compounds with MAO inhibitors, which allow the active ingredients to be effectively absorbed by the body. The result is an interaction with serotonin receptors, which can lead to profound mental and emotional insights. These plant-based medicines are not addictive, and there are no known cases of fatal overdoses. However, as with any powerful substance, it’s important to approach the experience with respect and caution. We strongly recommend conducting your own research, consulting with knowledgeable sources, and considering any personal health conditions or medications that may interact with MAO inhibitors or the plant-based medicine before participating in a journey.
  • What are MAO inhibitors?
    MAO inhibitors (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors) are compounds that block the activity of the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which is responsible for breaking down certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. By inhibiting this enzyme, MAO inhibitors prevent the breakdown of the active compounds in the medicine, allowing them to take effect. This inhibition is essential in plant-based medicine experiences, as it increases the potency and duration of the active substances, enhancing the overall journey.
  • What dosage will I receive?
    In our ceremonies, the dosage will induce a plant-based medicine experience of approximately 4-6 hours. Dosages are determined in consultation with each individual participant and based on your experience, intention, and physical and mental condition.
  • Nourishing organic vegan meals
    We understand the importance of nourishment during your retreat. Before the ceremony, we offer personalized dietary suggestions. After the ceremony, enjoy a delicious, organic vegan meal prepared to your preferences, designed to nourish your body and soul as you begin to integrate your experience. All meals and drinks are included and customized to meet your dietary needs.

MEET SHAMAN MARK & WIFE CHLOE

Mark and Chloe are the dedicated duo leading our transformative plant-based medicine ceremonies. Mark, trained under Maestro Don Gaspar Rengifo, a 7th generational Shipibo shaman from Peru, has over seven years of experience guiding spiritual journeys with MAO inhibitors. He is deeply committed to spiritual healing and growth, creating a safe, loving, and integrative space for all participants. His compassionate guidance and deep connection with the sacred plant infusions have drawn people from across the country seeking profound insights and personal healing.

Chloe, Mark’s wife and right hand, supports every ceremony, either as a participant or helper. Initially hesitant to sit with ayahuasca, Chloe’s curiosity grew as she witnessed Mark's journey, leading her to embrace the medicine and learn alongside him. She specializes in serving hapé, hosting cacao ceremonies, and has completed a dieta with bobinsana. Chloe’s nurturing, divine feminine energy is a comforting presence felt by all participants. Grateful to Mark for introducing her to this path, Chloe continues to deepen her connection with the plants, God, and those around her, embodying faith, trust, and courage in her journey. Together, Mark and Chloe create a harmonious and supportive environment for spiritual exploration and healing.

A SAFE AND SACRED SPACE

In our ceremonies, we work with plant-based medicines infused with MAO inhibitors, used in a safe and loving setting. This sacred practice is not just about the journey but also about connecting deeply with yourself, the earth, and the universe. We welcome individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds, promoting a space where everyone can seek healing, spiritual growth, and a deeper understanding of the self.

Our mission is to raise collective consciousness and offer guidance to those who feel called to this path. With Mark’s skilled support, we aim to create a transformative experience that fosters love, connection, and a sense of oneness with the world. Mark is highly sought after and often booked months in advance, so we recommend reserving your spot for the November 15th-17th retreat soon, as availability is limited.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
MUSIC IN OUR PSYCHEDELIC CEREMONIES 

Music is a fundamental element of our plant-based medicine ceremonies, and we consider it one of the most crucial components of any experience. It profoundly influences both the mindset (set) and the environment (setting) of the journey, enhancing its depth and impact. Recognizing its power, we have developed a series of unique musical journeys specifically designed to harmonize with the flow of plant-based medicine experiences. These carefully curated soundscapes are intended to guide participants through the emotional and spiritual layers of their journey, providing a supportive and transformative auditory backdrop.

Our next retreat is scheduled for the weekend of November 15th–17th, and spots are expected to fill up quickly. Mark is fully booked until then, making this a rare opportunity to join a transformative experience with him.

ABOUT SHAMAN MARK

Wow, I have been to many ceremonies around the US, and Mark is a true master of his craft. He explains details of the medicine before the ceremony that no one has ever explained to me. The space was peaceful, full of love, and the visions and messages were very clear. I feel very fortunate to have experienced Mark's energy and his beautifully channeled icaros guiding me to different dimensions. Mark’s humble, kind, and respectful approach made me experience a different side of the medicine. If you’re looking for someone to sit with, go to Mark. Don't be like me and go through a handful of people until you finally find the real medicine.

Wow! What a treasure Mark and Chloe are! My husband and I have done four other ceremonies with other shamans, but none came close to the healing, love, and compassion we experienced with these two! Mark and Chloe are incredibly gifted in creating a safe energy to fully surrender and learn from this beautiful medicine. Every moment of the three days they were with us was perfect. We cried, we laughed, we sang, and we explored! Mark and Chloe are officially family, and from this day forward, we will not drink Ayahuasca with anyone else. We love you both, thank you eternally!

I can’t say enough about how professional, loving, and caring Mark Lorello is before, during, and after the ceremony. My path with Mark and his beautiful family has been a Godsend. Under his expert guidance, I have healed so completely and traveled as far and as deeply as I could have ever imagined. The integration happens directly after the ceremony, and I have never left without feeling bonded with my fellow travelers. Mark and his family are truly Family for Life. I feel a tremendous debt of gratitude for literally saving my life and helping me turn it around. My attitude and outlook on life are not something I ever thought I would be able to achieve. Thank you so very much! All my love, Mark and Family.

I was called to Ayahuasca many years ago but couldn’t find a way to travel abroad. Luckily, I discovered Mark’s retreat in North Texas. Mark and his wife have powerful spirits and created a sacred space for the emotional, physical, and spiritual work that arose out of the attendees. Even as a first-timer, I realized that Mark is an unusually gifted healer. Besides his talent and skill, he has such a pleasant personality and an incredible balance between divine masculine and feminine energies. One of the biggest indicators that he is here to benefit the collective is the nominal fee he charges. My third ceremony with Mark brought the most unexpectedly vivid, clear, and profound visions of my life. The collective energy was powerful, creating a sense of alchemy. I hope that if you hear the call, you will make an appointment to sit with Mark in the sanctuary he and his wife have created.

I recently had the most incredible and powerful journey through Ayahuasca ceremonies, all thanks to the gifted and knowledgeable shaman, Mark. His guidance and work with us were truly priceless. I feel immensely blessed to have had this experience with Mark, who opened up an entirely new world with Mother Ayahuasca for me. This is a journey I will never forget, and I am deeply grateful for Mark’s wisdom and dedication. Thank you, Mark! ❤️❤️

All I can say is I am BLESSED to have found Mark and his family here in Texas. Blessed to be able to heal and learn the way of light by a pure heart and soul such as Mark. My ceremonies have been beautiful, full of deep healing, learning, and finding my way to remembering my purpose. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Mark’s light and the gifts he brings to the ceremony. Please, if you ever feel called to sit with the medicine, do so with Mark and PLEASE do so for three nights. The power of three is the KEY. A'ho! With love and gratitude, Maria. ❤️

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had my first Ayahuasca experience with Mark. So many things came up for me, and it was an incredibly beautiful experience. Mark is an incredibly gifted healer and Shaman, and we all felt completely safe and at home in his space. I feel like I released lifetimes of tension in my body. Many modalities of healing do not touch the depth of healing that you can get from this experience. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Mark!

I am so blessed to have experienced my first Ayahuasca ceremony with Mark. It was a transcending and life-changing experience. If you’re reading this and dealing with fear because it’s your first time, know that Mark was very safe, comforting, and a perfect guide. My experience is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Will be coming back!

Mark is one of the greatest people I’ve come across in my journey. He truly enjoys helping people and has a great spirit. I had a great time and learned a lot through my experience and the experiences of others in the ceremony. I was educated on the history of Ayahuasca and many other things pertaining to life. Since I’ve been back home, I have a different outlook on things and have been taking different actions in my life.

Last weekend, I attended a beautiful 3-day Ayahuasca retreat with Mark. At the beginning of the ceremony, he shared the process, the indigenous origins, and the potential of the journey we were about to embark on. His guidance was profound, helping me remove blockages, and his knowledge in the ways of indigenous practices and plant wisdom was invaluable. The icaros he sang and the safe, sacred space he created deepened the experience. I felt protected throughout my journey and honored to attend the Ayahuasca ceremony under Mark’s guidance.

For those called to work with the plant, this is the place to do it. The love I felt and the way Mark teaches the medicine are remarkable. He is a true leader and role model, and his family took care of us. I got to sit with his mom and wife, and it was truly remarkable.
