How important is a salt water "cleanse" before ceremony ?
Hi all, I've been wanting to experience the medicine for some years now and have finally been able to book flights for June. I am currently deciding between the following retreats:
Healing Tree Center (HTC), Lighthouse, Yosi Ocha (Onikano).
I have prior experience with some psyhadelics but in general have a trouble purging - even with food poisoning, stuff usually comes out the other end.
I've been in touch with HTC and though largely it appears to be decent and meet my check boxes, they are adamant about a "salt water detox" in the days leading up to the retreat. The information they've sent describes "forced bowel movement" and stomach cleansing. I was just wondering are these types of things absolutely necessary in order to partake ?
Or, is it just this retreat (HTC) ? In the absence of standardized practices - each enforces their own set of philosophies..
