How is the toad medicine consumed?
All ceremonies with toad medicine are individual and usually last somewhere between 15 to 30 minutes. During this time the facilitators and/or assistants will be present with you. When it is your turn, you will sit on the mat. The facilitator will hold the pipe with the medicine in front of your mouth so you only have to inhale the vapor. Inhale slowly, long and deep. You may be encouraged to breath in more of the vapor. Try to keep the smoke inside your lungs for as long as possible. This will help the medicine to enter your bloodstream. The medicine will start to work within 10 seconds. Don’t fight it, just relax and let the feeling wash over you. During your ceremony, there will always be someone available to assist during your journey.
What can you expect to happen?
This is a beautiful and loving experience with one of the most powerful psychedelics on the planet. Every ceremony is different. Depending on the state of consciousness or accumulated intoxication, a participant can experience some of the following sensations during the ritual climax:
Massive liberation of accumulated stress

Experience of non-duality, sensation of Oneness with all that is
Dissolution of unconscious or repressed cellular memories which may create addictions, compulsions, psychosomatic illnesses , mania’s and suffering
Sensation of the body exploding in millions of particles
Partial or total disconnection of physical or visual reality
Fusion with Presence, to be completely in the Now
Sensation of being launched into the void at high velocity
The reconstruction of synaptic networks in your brain
Liberation of emotions and feelings
Disconnection of the ego as a principle player and lack of egoic control
How much does the ceremony cost?
