Important Notice – In light of a few church members failing to observe dietary restrictions post-session, it's imperative to reiterate the significance of adhering to the Ayahuasca dieta for the spiritual healing journey. It's crucial to understand that maintaining this dieta is fundamental for the integrity of the process. If a member chooses not to follow this vital guidance after leaving the church, we cannot assume responsibility for any resulting consequences, which may include severe psychological and energetic harm.

Consider our religious service as a "spiritual healing treasure" intricately connected to the well-being of our church members. Failure to adhere to the dietary restrictions can shatter this process, potentially causing damage to one's psyche. Repairing the fractured psyche thereafter becomes an exceedingly challenging endeavor. It's therefore paramount for every member to honor and uphold these guidelines for their own spiritual growth and well-being.

Note: The greatest contraindication to taking Ayahuasca that exists is not wanting to take it, no one who does not want to take it should participate in a ceremony
