Ethical Code
In the face of an alarming increase in accidents and other incidents in Peruvian Ayahuascan centres, from Sacha Q’ente we want to express our sadness and worry about this situation. Due to an increase of entheogenic tourism, there has been an increase in centres who offer Ayahuasca to foreign travellers by people who do not have the capacity nor the integrity required to do this job.
Our centre is managed by Peruvian and European women and men. The patient’s health and the people who visit us is out top priority (whether that be foreigners or local people). It is part of our mission to defend the dignity of this Traditional Medicine, and above all, protect the security of our patients and in order to achieve this, we commit to the following Ethical Code:
- Before arriving at the centre, we will advise you regarding all foods and medicine that can cause an interaction with Ayahuasca, and also with regards to other dieting/fasting plants that can be administered as part of our treatment. We will ask for information from all those who come to us, about what medicines they are currently taking and if there are any pathologies which they are suffering from.
- On arriving at the centre, we will hold a pre-interview with all participants with the objective of informing you about all the necessary requirements to participate in a session and also to detect anything that might impede any participation.
- We will control the Ayahuasca dosis for people who have a heart condition, who need to take anti-hypertension medicine constantly, participants with serious pathologies, or mental incapabilities due to any severe disorder or people who reject…
- The person who conducts our ceremonies, Pío Vucetich Nuñez del Prado, has trained for over 25 years with indigenous Shipibo Masters and Lamas who possess the authority and recognition of their lineage to work with ayahuasca and other dieting plants. On top of this, Pio Vucetich Nuñez del Prado is a Psychologist and Psychoanalyst with more than 40 years of experience working with patients in his private clinic. Therefore, the people who collaborate with Dr. Pio possess the necessary training to help and assist the patients when required.
- During your stay, patients at our centre have regular private interviews with Pío Vucetich Nuñez del Prado in order to support the patient’s continuing process.
- We will always inform our patients about possible effects, the way and duration of the session and the composition of the substance that they are taking. Our ayahuasca is made from B.caapi y P. Viridis only, commonly known as ayahuasca y chacruna. In our centre no other plants are added to the medicine.
- The ayahuasca dosis that will be given to each person is individual and just enough to carry out the inner work required in an effective and powerful, but above all, safe way.
- We will strive to maintain an optimal level of human warmth at all times; before, during and after the sessions.
- Our ceremonies will be conducted with rectitude and ethical values, orientating it towards personal self-development exclusively, for the people who assist the ceremony, their environment and for the good of humanity. Absolutely abstaining from anything that may cause harm to anybody:
- Respecting sexual, physical and emotional integrity of all participants.
- Never attemtping to extract money or influencing anything during the session.
- Treating all participant’s personal information with the upmost confidentiality.
- In our centre, we frequently recieve women who are travelling alone. One of our greatest priorities is to to offer our male and female patients a secure and respectful space in order to carry out their inner work.
- In our sessions, there will always be a woman available to attend and accompany patients if they so request.
- We promise that anyone who works in our centre, observes a strict respect towards all women who visit us.
- We will always try to collaborate and assist wherever possible with your trip and help to make sure that your arrival at our centre, is the safest possible.
