Why A Tobacco Cleanse Before Aya?

“I participated in the Tobacco Initiation at Soultech Sanctum. At first, I was worried about the purging—I’m usually healthy and rarely vomit—but I realized there was nothing to fear. This was my first time participating in a ceremony or initiation with tobacco, and it was a truly beautiful experience. The tobacco was gentle, with a pleasant taste, and I felt deeply connected to it. The ceremony was grounding, and afterward, I experienced a profound connection with the plants and the Earth. Txana Sia was an excellent guide. He explained everything clearly, making the whole process easy to follow.

I highly recommend this ceremony! I’ll definitely be doing it again soon.”

“The tobacco ceremony for me was a great experience. The purge that comes from it, is part of the energetic cleaning process. Acceptance of that makes the experience much easier. Energetically it helps open up blocked channels and works in symbiance with Ayahuasca. So beneficial to do it before! Txana Sia really makes the experience what it is. His energy, knowledge and relationship with medicine is incredible and he knows what you need to receive from the ceremony.”

FAQs

What is a Tobacco Ceremony Like?

A Tobacco Ceremony is a deeply spiritual and transformative experience. Guided by our Curandero (shaman), participants drink a specially prepared tobacco tea to connect with the spirit of Father Tobacco. The ceremony often begins with intention setting and prayers, creating a sacred space for healing and self-discovery.

Drinking the tea initiates a physical and energetic cleansing process, which may include purging to release toxins and negative energies. This is accompanied by grounding and protective energies, allowing participants to feel more aligned and connected to themselves and the world around them. Throughout the ceremony, the shaman provides guidance, songs, and spiritual support, fostering a safe and sacred environment. Each experience is unique, but participants often leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more spiritually attuned.

Where is the Tobacco Ceremony?

The Tobacco Ceremony will be at The Sanctum in Sun Prairie, WI.

How Long Is the Tobacco Ceremony?

The Tobacco Ceremony typically lasts between 2 to 4 hours. This includes time for setting intentions, drinking the tobacco tea, experiencing the cleansing process, and integrating the experience with guidance from the Curandero and Shamama. The exact duration may vary depending on the group size and the individual needs of participants. It’s recommended to set aside extra time before and after the ceremony for preparation and reflection.

What’s the Difference Between Western Tobacco & Shamanic Tobacco?

Western tobacco is commonly associated with commercial cigarettes, which often contain harmful additives and are used recreationally, often leading to addiction and health issues. In contrast, shamanic tobacco, such as mapacho, is a sacred plant used in traditional ceremonies for spiritual and medicinal purposes. Unlike its Western counterpart, shamanic tobacco is pure, additive-free, and deeply respected for its healing and protective properties. It is not inhaled but used in intentional practices like tea, smoke offerings, and prayer to cleanse, ground, and connect with spirit. 

Is Tobacco a purging medicine?

Yes, the tobacco ceremony is a purging medicine. The purge can manifest as physical cleansing (vomiting or diarrhea) but also as emotional and energetic releases. This process is viewed as a critical part of the healing, helping to clear blockages, toxins, and negative energies from the body, mind, and spirit. Best to embrace the value of the purge, as it is considered a transformative aspect of the tobacco experience, leading to greater clarity and well-being.

What Should I Wear?

Wear light-colored comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to relax and move freely. Natural fabrics like cotton or linen are ideal, as they help you feel connected to the earth and your body. Avoid heavy perfumes, jewelry, or anything distracting, as the focus is on simplicity and presence. Dress in layers if the ceremony space may change temperature, and bring a blanket or shawl for added comfort. You’ll want to have your hair pulled back if it’s long.

Do I Need To Prepare For a Tobacco Ceremony?

Yes, preparation is an important part of the Tobacco Ceremony. On the morning of the ceremony, you must fast completely—this means no food, no water, no coffee, or any other beverages. This fasting allows your body to be clear and receptive to the medicine, enhancing the cleansing and spiritual experience.

In the days leading up to the ceremony, it’s helpful to eat clean, light meals, avoiding heavy, processed, or overly rich foods. Refrain from alcohol, recreational substances, or stimulants for at least 24 hours prior. Setting an intention for the ceremony and approaching it with an open heart and mind will also help you receive the most benefit from the experience.
