It's so crazy to me, seeing you walking at the center, the village, laying in the malokka. The same place i had my first ceremony, the place i got reborn. Much love to the Arkana, to you and to everyone in this world
I'm not even three minutes into this video yet and this is already an absolutely and utterly breathtaking masterpiece..! Thank you so much for all of your contributions to our species Dakota..! 💜
Self-illusion or thinking is like a transparent curtain that adds an extra layer of information to our vision, we see our thoughts but they do not exist in front of us! This is the human ability to see things that do not exist! The problem that occurs in humans is that, when the nervous system contracts, the thinking process automatically begins to think! And because most people have more or less nervous system contractions, they have this extra thought! And in the long run, these thoughts almost become an additional operating system, and it makes its own decisions! If the nervous system relaxes, this process of extra thought will automatically stop and the new human being can see the world as it is without disturbing the mind! After that, it can be understood that creation is predetermined from the beginning to the end day! As consciousness we only understand the life story, and the rest is out of our control!
The woman who shared her story about desiring to connect to her feminine by bleeding in ceremony into the earth with other women...was so raw and relatable. When she connects to her womb she connects to lineages of mothers before her. We hold the portal.. It's so important as women for us to connect to our wombs and to allow nature to heal us. We as women hold the power to birth new beginnings, with this power comes great inner strength of the body and soul. May all women continue to connect to their divinity and potential of the womb. May we heal our wounds and hold purified space for growth.
I'm 41 and I still haven't gotten use to bleeding. I absolutely hate it. I hear other women say how beautiful our periods are but I have yet to appreciate it. Maybe I don't understand what's so special about it. To me it's a huge burden. Do you have any leads on how I can learn to love it. Hopefully I'll be finished with it in a few years
Wow I got goosebumps hearing that woman speak. I wanted to give her a hug and cry with her❤️ There is something extremely powerful while you’re bleeding. The relief, the power, the release every month.. it resets me and makes me feel whole again. Women have a hard time accepting their bodily functions, being scared of the blood, viewing it as annoying feature to womanhood... but your monthly cycle is a beautiful thing! ❤️ The connection it brings as well, my best friends and I are synced up.. monthly, like how incredible is that. I don’t know how or why! We don’t even live near each other! We all start the same day of bleeding, and end the same day. It’s a vulnerable, beautiful, and spiritual time for a woman.
All I need to say is that after three Ayahuasca cerimonies I'll probably NEVER be skeptical anymore about spirituality. I had SO many experiences going through and I think about then every single day. Experiences that I just can't translate in words. The most intense experience while talking about "energy" was before my ego death in the second experience. I was sucked in for what feels like eons in this massive place with so much energy going on. Everytime I get to that point, I literally "roll back" my memories and starts to "reassembly" my ego when coming. Everytime I used Ayahuasca I used with eyes closed for the entire ceremony, which is essential to get as deep as possible. I remember a LOT of things from my experiences. But not even close to EVERYTHING that happened. This "primal" force that you're saying is SO strong, words can't describe. My three ceremonies was with an bonfire in the open sky in the dark. Such powerful experiences, that I'll be eternally grateful for.
@@karishmakaushik1112 I'm from Brazil. There are tons of places here. Not only tribal ones in a more xamanism ways, but there are santo daime, união do vegetal and even what they call umbandaime, which is a fusion of xamanism, umbanda and santo daime. The place I experienced was in the city of Santo André in São Paulo state, in an manancial. They're more inclined to umbandaime but the truth is that those places are quite "universal'. It costs about 12 USD in that place because the feitio there is from Acre. But there are places that the cost would be 2 USD, because it is made locally. Like in Cananéia where my father in law went.
You are "God". Reality is One "thing" "we" are IT. That's it. You are infinite. Reality cannot be separate, but in the dream, it seems like it is. Everything is God, hope you'll realize that one day.
@@GabithWhyborn I had a lot of insights about that in my experiences. The concept about the nature of existence and individuality goes to a much higher level after those experiences. Self, doesn't make much sense. We're all interconnected. The "self" is in some way, just an illusion. You see an colony of ants. The colony works as ONE individual. They're not "independent" of each other. We can't live without having billions of bacteria inside of us that help us in many physiological process. Can we "cross a line" and call then "individuals"? Or they are much as "ourselves" as we see our own cells that can easily be separated without breaking our whole body? Sure, we can "think" individually. But we can't "function" individually to just be able to think in the first place. We're always integrating things in us, consuming, connecting. This complex patterns that shows in a bigger panorama should be obvious to us. Balance is the key. - I touched the essence of my soul in my first ceremony, just a part of a whole. I've never experienced such peace before, it was pure bliss, a golden light, warm like the touch of the sun in a sunny day. Sometimes I think it was a memory of being in an uterus. It's almost impossible to really understand everything I've saw in this "baseline" stance that we live and "function" as an individual. The realm of the mind, or spirit, is an divine realm, with a language that we can barely understand in an cognitive process. I remember being there in the second time and having that feeling of familiarity and "grasps" of my most intense experiences. A single grasp of memory before my ego death in the second time was SO intense, sometimes I can concentrate enough to remember and a single second there feels like eons of information. It was a mix of absolute terror and being perplexed, I've never feeled so small before, it was the most intense lesson of humility I've ever had. How it is SO obvious and yet, we can't just "see" without being in an higher state of consciousness? Of course, after going through that point of resistance, words can't even describe what goes next. It's literally impossible, we can barely grasp and remember in our "baseline" stance after. But just a grasp is more then enough. For anything that you can think. It blows my mind how deep it can go, we just "can't" fully understand being an human being. Every answer we need, it's already inside of us, we just "forgot" how to access. I can't say for certain why and how we're here. If we are the essence of the universe trying to "understand" itself. If we're just "evolving" in spiritual realms in an cycle of consciousness. What I've learned is, we don't need to "know" or understand everything at once. The point of being here IS to learn, is to "evolve" ourselves. The first time I was in the ceremony, I remember the thing that marked me the most is HOW those things that we understand as virtues ARE the nature of ourselves. I've thought I've had lost a lot of those things after years of accumulated social masks. But no, it is all here, I've never felt so much gratitude. I have a lot of memories from my experiences, and even being a lot it is still a fraction of everything I've had. I'm pretty certain EVERYONE will understand those experiences sooner or latter. It's miserable how a lot of things that bother us most of the time aren't "problems" at all. There's no point in fearing death, everyone is in their own process and integration might be an process that we should do everyday 'til the end. If we fail as an species it doesn't matter. The nature, the universe, and life itself is a much bigger thing, we're all part of it, our wild imagination sometimes disconnect us from our essence, but that's it. I, personally, believe that every knowledge will converge to an single direction, regardless of the source. It's unbelievable that there's so much more similarities between the many different religions we have then differences between then. Most of the differences might be incorrect interpretations and the natural loss of information going on. And the simple fact that "mystical experiences" just can't be "translated" in an cognitive language. It's an intuitive process, in the best "you need to see for yourself" type. We, in this new "age of information" got very materialistic, narcissistic and pretentious most of the time. We'll pay the price eventually, but everyone as an individual can make a choice and change destructive patterns about themselves today. Life is a gift, is an honor. Death should not be feared, but respected as an natural step. Our legacy is the most important thing. We're all divine because we're all a part of something much bigger then we can understand as individuals. And materialism sometimes give us an "illusion" of a "higher power", or "higher knowledge", but that's it. Nature can "recycle" us very easily. Don't be afraid, but DON'T disrespect. Be grateful instead of jealous. I hope someday people understand HOW important those simple things are. But well, it's easier said then done. It's an everyday job.
That girl talking about her moon blood and getting in touch with her feminine energy was so powerful. Feminine energy is suppressed in this society, there is so much guilt and shame put upon menstruation when in reality it is the very root of our magic. Our wombs are the very source of creation yet women are treated so poorly and taught to be ashamed of our sensuality and our cycles. I pray for all women in the world to have the realization that this one did
loved the lady’s story at 16:34. so cool as a woman trying to reconnect with her divine feminine energy. the thing about bleeding into the earth with other women to heal sounds amazing.
Seemed like her the experience was telling her to get off of the birth control that she had been taking since the past 7 years and let her body heal properly
Mother Ayahuasca was one of my main inspirations and motivations for quitting Tobacco after a 10 year addiction which I'm now currently over 2 months clean from and I'm so happy that I decided to cut that parasitic leech of an addition out of my life. I feel 420 times better because of it..! 🧠

Dude I would love to see a video on how you organize these trips you take, and more importantly how you afford it!! Maybe a video on how you plan your budget? What you do to earn income to fund all these adventures? Been loving your videos for years now and I've always wondered how you manage to sustain your lifestyle. Much love Dakota!
I’m currently planning a trip out here and to a few other places. And video documenting the plan, saving the money , how much it’s costing me from start to finish. Plane tickets to and from , what’s I’m bringing. Because just like you I’ve been wondering how these guys are doing it yet there’s no videos out there of how it looks like for one to follow along. Dakota has over 600k subscribers I’m sure he has that funding his adventures. I’m just a dude that actually has to work a 9 to 5 job .. I’m taking the leap. And making that very video
When you were describing your first ayahuasca ceremony saying you can't deny it's not real, just like this life is, or how a dream feels real. And then you said, I don't know what's real anymore... THANK YOU for saying that. Exactly how I felt too 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Once someone experiences the medicine and life truly communing with nature and the spirit around us it is truly undeniable there is more to life than what we thought...
Wow Dakota what an amazing experience that must've been! You really must see some sights along your travels. I'm no expert but as shadow work is very real maybe that was a message in your ayahuasca experience..? Many thanks to you for sharing your experiences with us man!
Hey Dakota I really enjoyed your storytime about your sleep paralysis experience it was very interesting. You should do more storytimes like that maybe about any ghost experiences you’ve had 👍
Dakota, I get seriously inspired by your videos. Could you share how you started your travelling/spiritual journey? Did it take hefty financing or have you self-sustained with uploading?
How I got started on my spiritual journey, i'd have to explain my whole life. As far as traveling goes, I worked for a music festival called Warped Tour and I was able to save $15,000 in one summer and I've used that money to invest into my RU-vid - which is now my main source of income with brand deals and ad revenue.
Great work, super interesting material! You could see how intense some experiences were. I really liked how open everyone was and I even got a little weirded out by that one girl. Liked your „Calm before The Storm“ tattoo though. But even with all those magical experiences, I can’t dismiss the thought that all of them could be an illusion aswell, idk. Very interesting thoughts on dreams btw, really makes me wonder how we actually tune (or get tuned) into a certain spot of consciousness.
Hmmm yeah, illusion or reality?? I can easily imagine that each one is actually living his own movie...so ya, illusion...our own movie through our fears, emotions, egos...still we are all interelated, so it can be bigger production...but in day to day life we go pretty much individual..so with the trip, big movie of your life is shown to you, perhaps ?
Wow..that woman talking about her period and the effect of birth control was profound. Ive never been on birth control but i could completely connect with what she saying which was weird because ive never thought of birth control in that way its always been something so normal.
Very nice, Dakota. Thank you for sharing part of your journeying. The integration telling circle was illustrious, beautiful and moving. It's all good work 🙏 🔥 ❤️ 🌞
Hey Dakota, Have been a fan of your's from India since the time I saw your Kasol expedition videos which were breathtaking! Do you ever plan on visiting the other mountain ranges of India/Himalayas? There are literally so many! Mountain ranges like Spiti Valley, Meghalaya; the cannabis it has to offer and the experiences Maybe even stumble upon mad honey from Nepal which is another psychedelic giving you a blissful high It's a pleasure watching you and Tom and your experiences being documented in a sublime way, always!
i feel as though aya threw you into the lion's den and showed you how the suffering of this world felt like. dense, primal, void, nothingness, confusion, chaos, savage etc..
Wow. What the blond woman shared about birth control and being disconnected from your feminine essence. I took the pill for over 20 years, and when I finally stopped it took a huge amount of work. Its a very serious and unaddressed issue that affects hundreds of thousands of women. We are lied to and told it is safe, it is NOT SAFE. I was " being responsible " . No, I wasn't. Prayers for all my sisters that we can find our way back to the ancient ways of managing our creative energy naturally without toxic pharmaceutical interference 🙏💖
I had the greatest experience of my life in the maloka with ayahuasca and maestra justina, thank you for this video I’m going to share it with my soul family. It’s crazy and amazing and everything
The soul is the container of the higher mind, subtle bodies. The soul is more than consciousness, it is the energetic body, that carries the higher subtle bodies, including all of the mind. The more in tune we are with the soul, the more excess we have to the mind, and all of its capabilities. When we have excess to all of the mind, by getting in touch with the soul, we are liberated, we can manipulate reality,matter as we please. We can tap into the mind here and there and perform miracles, or we can get in touch with the soul, and fully access the mind.
Grap the opportunity to have a wonderful experience. Imagine yourself immersed in an ancient ritual, surrounded by wisdom guided by indigenous shamans with generations of knowledge. From the *14th to the 16th* of December 2023, this soul-enriching experience will take place in a land where the past and the present harmoniously converge.
Seeing the women in this comment section relate so deeply to the woman discussing her moon cycle while watching how uncomfortable all the men were in the room... is why I much prefer women-only ceremonies & retreats. We go deeper & we are just more connected with Earth & her cycles than males. They don’t “get it” & never will. Sending love & healing to all you goddesses out there! Let your Divine Femininity rise!!! SHE IS RISEN.
Here's a very far fetched theory. What if you being in the swamp was you travelling inwards, into your own body but on a quantum level and you now get to watch the microorganisms that keep your body alive do their job but only as a spectator.
I heard the story more like his subconcious being the swamp. He (concious experience) cannot make sense of the underworld (the swamp or subconcious) and is toyed with by the current of god aka subconcious aka swamp creatures. All these people could have gone far if they embraced their experiences instead of resisting them, but we need to resist I guess to see that theres something to let go
interesting! so many possibilites and interpretations, but yeah! As most of times our fears are illusions, unreal...then what he calls darkness would be simple, natural, alive, organic, his own body with germs and all!
@@whitenozze great insight mate! They say the treasure is there, in your house...but in order to discover it, one needs to roam around before coming back to his inner jewel! And i guess not easy to see through, to get insights from the trip...one can get lost in analysing fantasticaly or getting stock in emotions...
Thank you for the video. I learn so much from them. Dakota, you played an Indian flute and it was so beautiful and affordable. You have a lot of grace. At the time, you shared the name of the seller. I was not able to afford it at the time and I can’t find the link in my documents. Please please tell me the name of the seller on Etsy. Thank you and God Bless. P.B. It would be nice if you played the flute sometimes for us.
sounds very cool my gf was meant to go with her dad recently but wasnt able to because of this covid bs but ive done dmt seen Egyptian's and ancient knowledge, cant wait to do a ceremony for a longer experience gonna be lit
This was really special, thank you for sharing this. Dakota! I am interested in your opinions on the cost of the retreat being $3000. On one hand, I think the obvious, that is, proper ceremony and sustenance of a culture must be intertwined/aligned with capitalist mechanisms for it to function and sustain itself. However, another part of me ponders, how do we escape these constructional confinements, when tribal/ritualistic spiritual awakening may only be available for those with disposable income? Maybe this is gods plan? By vividly exposing the spirit to the middle class within a capitalist framework, future generations can yield the benefits thereafter, thereby breaking the construct we exist within?
Can't wait to go to Arkana someday, looking forward to some plant medicine healing. For now I'll stick with my mushrooms and lsd... Not sure how much lsd works on the spiritual side though haha I'd love your input on that sometime Dakota! (If you see this comment and have a second of course!)
You said you asked to understand the entity. It would seem the entity isn’t as harmful as some would wish to be. Maybe the understanding and the answer is, this is what the entity feels like. It’s in a giant pond full of bad spirits. Spirits have have no intention is enjoyment. Maybe it was saying that it feels like it’s in a pond with a bunch of fish who don’t know their own instincts. I feel like it was saying this is it. To create and to enjoy. To have others enjoy. I think it was saying it is strong too. It’s like being in a world surrounded by angry people with no intention. You have to be strong in this pond while expressing yourself. Also I’m getting the impression you shouldn’t envy what you don’t know as you could be fish food for these spirits if goodness didn’t exist. You should enjoy your life as one of comfort or you may get lost.
Discover a transformative adventure that transcends time and space, as you attend an extraordinary Ayahuasca Retreat in the heart of Peru. It start from 14 to 16 December 2023 Get your ticket!!!!!!
Loved the video. My only question is why do these Shipibo people need the millions of dollars(just in the one week in that ceremony they made well over 30,000 dollars) through this tourist center, it makes no sense to me and puts me off going to an advertised center in general. Any positive feedback welcomed.
Dakota, I know I’m watching this Later I Hope you see it feel this, THANK YOU for Sharing this Beautiful Experiences as well of all the fellow Friends their with you!💫💛💛💛
whats up with the creatures i met a chick when i took it or she came in the form of the justice statue of the lady holding a scale in one arm and missing half of her other arm , and she talked in more then words i would explain it like communicating through feelings not just vibration of voice , and she kept repeating release martin release martin release , she just meant my thinking but also fear . IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING , she was showing me 2 cells under a microscope trying to seperate while she kept saying release
I truly ache for that woman sharing her story about birth control. I felt the same way while I was on it. I didn't feel like myself. something felt deeply wrong inside me. I hope she can find peace ❤
10:19 this is really profound I was kinda taken aback by this and it ties in with what I’ve been going though internally. I have very vivid dreams and nightmares, I’ve never heard anyone say this like you did
"Its not that science mowed this field and moved on. Science has never really been here. We don't yet understand about how there is this tremendous, affectionate entelechy that wants to help us, for it's sake as much as our own." - Terence McKenna
I would be terrified to take Auyawasca,,, I don't like feeling out of control with myself, it feels evil to me, like this is the door for the devil idk
Thats insane, how could you possibly think that without ever trying it yourself? Its one of the most beautiful experiences you could possibly imagine. It heals, there is absolutely nothing evil about it.
I’m so intrigued and have been for a few years now… I do worry it could be a dark path… but I think that is my stoic Christian upbringing. I want truth… sadly I don’t feel I’ve found it in anything else… I guess Aya is for the seekers?
@@psychotropictraveler514 because that's my feeling which I'm allowed to have,, not to mention I've heard many times ppl say they were terrified and there was demon like entities trying to kill them
concerning psychedelics and traditional plant medicine ceremonies, the difficulty of a foreigner like myself authentically participating in a traditional plant medicine ceremony is alot more complex than people may think, traditionally the use of plant medicines by people is just one small aspect of a much larger tradition and all encompassing way of life, a complex system of religious beliefs and other spiritual practices, on a continuum from more exoteric to esoteric, certain ethical and moral principles, various rules and regulations, different social roles and duties, a knowledge of and connection with all other members of the tribe, usually from birth etc, a whole particular mentality, psychological and emotional that has developed and been cultivated by these particular people, etc etc etc, so it was very different for them as one could imagine compared to someone like me from the west who may come in and stay for a while then leave. what i am getting at is that a commitment to the tradition and way of life would seem to be a prerequisite for its participation i believe, a conversion to use a different type of Language, ultimately an initiation that is for life and implies one is going to seek god following that particular mode of following god with all that the tradition implies otherwise there will always remain this sense of one being a tourist in a way, just hoping to come in without any true lifelong commitment and have an experience, it has this materialistic western consumer feel to it, just happens to be in regards to spiritual things uno, its like spiritual shopping, but i believe the commitment and the sacrifice that a proper engagement with spiritual/religious things implies is one or the most important parts of the effectiveness of the whole thing and determines the degree of benefit one may get from the ceremony uno. Because if you look at all of history and mans spiritual/religious searching and way of life then it os always the case that only one particular tradition is followed by any given individual, individually or culturally they commit to one way of life, one religion, one path etc and follow it to the desired goal which is the attainment of an experiential union with god, in fact it was so important that different paths to the same goal not be mingled together or one person not practice two ways that there was many restrictions in every culture existing to guard against this, this is where we get what is misinterpreted now as a bigoted exclusivity in religion in relation to how it sees other religions but in reality it is just an attitude that had to be taken for the protection of each religion which is whole and complete in itself and can lead man to the same end as another one, when two paths are confused and joined tho then it may destroy both because they are so radically different in the mode in which they do things that they externally appear not to even have the same end in sight etc God bless brotha
I just came back from an ayahuasca ceremony. Not only did it help me work through a lifetime of trauma, the shaman straightened my back and neck and now I can actually sit up straight and hold my phone in front of me! Couldn't do that before!!

Dakota- I love how they Honor the Spirit that dwells within the sacred herb!! I have participated in Sweat lodge ceremony with Lakota Sioux Holy Man, my Grandfather Wallace Black Elk. We also honored the Spirit of the Peyote 🔥 Ah Ho Mi Tonk Quusin!!. (To all of your relations, blessings)
