1. Summary
Ayahuasca is a sacred plant from the Amazon known for its traditional use in ceremonies with indigenous teachers, who use it to help people deepen the connection with themselves and learn to heal physical or emotional conditions in ways that conventional medicine has not been able to achieve.
A microdose of Ayahuasca is between 5 and 20% of a full (ceremonial) dose of Ayahuasca, with subtle effects that allows participants to progressively and consciously assimilate aspects of themselves and their environment, by harmonizing daily life from where it is most necessary.
In this program, students will train as microdose facilitators, through methods that include (1) taking microdoses for their personal and professional development in the field, (2) real practice of therapeutic support to users, (3) theory and (4) professional practice in research, development or innovation opportunities.
Duration: 10 months

Collaborations and Opinions:
From Peru we have created a world-class program with protocols, methods and tools successfully implemented in organizations such as the Microdosing Institute of the Netherlands or Cercle Transpersonal of Spain, and recognized by microdosers and experienced professionals as one of the microdosing programs with the best structure and effectiveness.
Co-founders of Microhuasca have recently founded the International Microdosing Association (IMA) , together with prominent players in the ecosystem and Dr. James Fadiman, the greatest exponent recognized as the "Father of the Modern Use of Microdosing".
"I am stunned and delighted by what you have created. It is the finest and clearest and most complete framework I have ever seen about microdosing. It truly feels like the next generation of how we understand and use microdoses is here and that you guys are leading us all."
Dr. James Fadiman (USA), author "Psychedelic Explorer's Guide", co-founder of the International Microdosing Association
“It is surprising how professionals who work with microdoses have found the Microhuasca model so transformative. It seems to me that it is the most complete and effective currently in the field."
Jakobien Van Der Weijden (Netherlands), co-founder of the Microdosing Institute and the International Microdosing Association
“Microhuasca's work model proposes new bases on what is already being innovated in the field of psychedelics and the most advanced therapies in this regard. It is exciting what is brewing from Latin America.”
Dr. Antoni Aguilar (Spain) - founder at CERCLE Transpersonal

3. Methodology
Average weekly dedication: 6 to 8 hours. Candidates with specific previous professional experience could access a decrease in the total hours required.
Personal Process with Microdosing
Requirement to complete: 3 months of microdosing Ayahuasca
> In your first 6 weeks Participants will carry out a microdose process in the user role.
Experiential Approach: Guided experience taking microdoses. The process will open your sensitivity to learning about yourself, your environment and the world. You will integrate the lessons that you will receive from the microdoses in your personal development with the accompaniment of a facilitator.
Community Focus: Experience as a member of a community that supports each other. You will have interactions with your peers in the user community that will promote therapeutic bonds and help you enhance your experience. This includes providing and receiving support with another participant in a supervised way (first accompaniment practice).
Ancestral Approach: Integrate the importance of indigenous knowledge in the work with master plants. You will integrate fundamentals of the Amazonian use of Ayahuasca adapted to the context of microdosing in your periodic practices of introspection and connection with the plant, recognizing the importance of indigenous ancestral wisdom and science within a serious process of using Ayahuasca.
Week 1: Preparation
Your first steps begin with your approach to the traditional context of Ayahuasca, the Amazonian Ayahuasca worldview, the food and energy diet and the exercise of defining your intention to start your process.
Week 2: The experience begins
Commencing the dosing process, participants are able to recognize the effects that will manifest in 4 dimensions (physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual) here, they will learn to microdose with the incremental calibration method.
Week 3: Navigate the discoveries and revelations
Participants will understand their experiences as part of a dynamic system that explains the learning and transformation with microdoses of Ayahuasca, from the dynamic interrelation of the main results and components to care for.
Week 4: Connect with the plant
From the ancestral perspective, participants learn how Ayahuasca heals in macro and microdoses, and learn to take care of the interpretation of the lessons while maintaining an adequate posture to make the healing and self-knowledge process long lasting.
Week 5: Make your results sustainable
Participants will analyze and relate experiences and that of their colleagues to find patterns or signs of changes in habits that they could pursue to make their results sustainable
Week 6: Integration
Recognize together with your facilitator, and our experts and the Microhuasca Community, which ways of seeing, interpreting and acting towards life you feel have changed during your process, and how you can make this transformation lasting over time.
> At the end of the first microdose process , you can choose when to continue taking guided doses for as long as you require, for a minimum of 3 months in total.
Participants may choose or change the frequency of their doses , circles or log usage at their personal discretion. The process is expected to be coordinated with the assigned partner. Full access to the following tools will remain:
Community circles and workshops (group support)
Mutual accompaniment (one-on-one supervised support with learning partner)
Therapeutic emergency sessions (one-on-one support with specialists)
Logbook (self-report tool)
About obtaining Ayahuasca in your country: We don't ship Ayahuasca or Psilocybin out of Peru. In case you do not have access to your own medicine, let us know. Any coordination to get your medicine is under your own responsibility, and the price is not part of the Program fee.

4. The Science of Ayahuasca
At Microhuasca we are researching, building and applying safe protocols for assisted processes with microdoses of Ayahuasca, which, unlike conventional pharmacology, not only relieve symptoms but also work to heal from the root through introspection, so that later you no longer need to use it. In this program we will share first-hand what we have learned and observed by studying more than 200 cases that we have personally facilitated.
New studies highlight its usefulness for depression, anxiety, dependencies and other human conditions. Check out our basic collection of 40 scientific articles and resources that have been referenced for our research and development.
