The new public of ayahuasqueras practices of shamanic reference is mainly urban and is recruited in the American and Europe. This public, coming from intellectual or artistic circles, professions and managers of multinational companies, is often involved in the world of therapies in the broad sense.
This audience meets for weekends or ayahuasca retreats of shamanic medicine, also called initiation workshops to shamanism or seminars of meeting with the medicine of the plants. These meetings are characterized by the centrality of the turns of speech, focusing on the expectations and experiences of the participants, which brings these practices closer to those of the collective therapy groups. When ayahuasca is present, these workshops are organized around their ritual consumption: always at night, the participants in search of visions, grouped around the shaman and the apprentices, often working as translators, ingest one or more times the drinking in the darkness saturated with the shaman's songs and the intestinal disarray of the participants.
These ritualized ayahuasca retreats are represented as an intimate enlightening and therapeutic experience. Towers should allow participants to interpret their experience while comparing it with that of others. The shaman, channelling the interpretations and managing the eventual confusion of the participants during the ceremonies, embodies here the figure of a spiritual leader and an advisor.
