Our Ayahuasca ceremonies are deeply personal and spiritual experiences that require a willingness to surrender fully to the process. For this reason, we ask that each participant attend solo. This ensures that everyone entering the space is fully prepared, personally called, and ready to face themselves—without external reliance or distraction.

However, we understand that the idea of coming alone can bring up hesitation, and some may feel called to bring a friend or loved one for support. While we do not prohibit friends or couples from attending the same ceremony, we strongly advise against it for the following reasons:

1️⃣ Codependency & Emotional Attachments

Ayahuasca is ordeal medicine—it brings up fears, emotions, and deeply ingrained patterns, often forcing us to confront aspects of ourselves we may have avoided. When attending with a partner or friend, there can be an unspoken reliance on their presence as a source of comfort, control, or security. This can prevent full surrender and block the depth of healing that Ayahuasca offers.

If the thought of attending alone brings up resistance, anxiety, or fear, it’s worth reflecting on why. Is the desire to come together based on mutual trust and openness, or is there an underlying fear of facing the unknown alone? If the latter, it may be a sign that more preparation is needed before stepping into this work.

2️⃣ Ceremony Requires Complete Individual Focus

The nature of our ceremonies—sitting in the dark, on your own mat, facing your deepest emotions—demands full presence. Even if you and your friend or partner attend together, you will be separated and will not be able to interact throughout the night. Men and women sleep in separate spaces post-ceremony, and there is no opportunity to provide comfort or reassurance to each other during the experience.

Despite the best intentions, simply knowing a partner or close friend is in the room can create a subtle (or significant) distraction. Hearing them struggle, purge, or move through their emotions can pull attention outward, leading to concern rather than inward focus. True transformation requires turning completely inward, free from external ties.

3️⃣ The Journey is About Surrender, Not Control

Ayahuasca teaches us to let go—of expectations, control, and the ways we try to manage our experiences. Coming into the ceremony space with someone familiar can make it harder to surrender fully. There may be an unconscious tendency to monitor, check in, or resist emotions in an effort to appear "okay" in front of the other person.

Many times, individuals are unaware of how much they modify their behavior based on who is around them. By attending solo, you remove all external influences and allow yourself the freedom to experience whatever arises, without fear of judgment or expectation.

4️⃣ True Healing Happens When You Are Ready

This work is about finding your own strength and connection within. While it’s natural to want healing for those we care about, this journey must be personally sought out. If someone is truly ready, they will feel the call and take the steps themselves. Bringing someone who isn’t fully prepared—especially for an experience as profound as this—can actually be detrimental.

Ayahuasca has a way of bringing up our deepest fears, traumas, and truths, and without the right mindset and personal readiness, it can be overwhelming rather than healing. Even knowing someone you care about is in the room can create an unspoken pull—whether it's a sense of responsibility, concern, or just the awareness of being witnessed—which can take away from the full surrender needed for deep healing.

If You Still Choose to Attend Together

If, after reading this, you and your friend or partner still feel deeply called and fully understand the intensity of this experience, you may both attend, but:
✅ Each person must register separately
✅ Each person must complete the full screening process
✅ Each person must take all required preparation courses and sign waivers
✅ You will be separated as much as possible during the ceremony

We do not forbid friends or couples from attending the same ceremony, but we strongly encourage each person to reflect deeply on whether they are truly ready to face this journey alone. Healing begins when you surrender fully—without distraction, without external reliance, and in full trust of the process.

If this resonates, we welcome you when you feel ready.

We accept multiple forms of payment, including credit card, PayPal, and Venmo, making it convenient for you to complete your registration.

The $100 deposit is included in the total registration fee, which is collected upfront when you register for the ceremony. The full amount is paid online during the registration process. The deposit is non-refundable unless there's a verified medical reason from our doctor for canceling.

We do not charge for our sacraments, but we do ask for the minimum amount needed to cover costs and keep the church running. Our goal is to make ceremonies accessible to all, and while we receive many requests for free ceremonies, we unfortunately cannot accommodate everyone.

However, we have a system in place to provide significant discounts—including up to 100% off ceremonies—through our Rose Quartz system. By actively participating in our church community, you can earn Rose Quartz credits, which can be redeemed for discounts on ceremonies and other offerings. The more you engage—through attending services, volunteering, contributing to our community, and other activities—the faster you can accumulate credits.

This system is designed to support and reward those who are committed and contributing members of the church, ensuring that those who need help the most have access to our ceremonies. For more details, visit our Rose Quartz system here.

Yes, we offer a special perks for our recurring donors! While membership to our church is free, we have a recurring donor program for those who wish to support the church with ongoing donations. Although these contributions are made out of generosity, as a token of our appreciation, recurring donors receive access to a growing list of perks—including a scaled discount system for church events, with discounts of up to 25%.

This discount can also be combined with our Rose Quartz credits, offering even greater opportunities to participate in our ceremonies and events.

At Two Birds Church, we understand that feelings of negative energies or entities often stem from our own inner landscapes—our fears, insecurities, and unhealed wounds. In alignment with our principle of Inner Responsibility, we believe that healing begins when we fully own our emotions and experiences, rather than attributing them to external forces.

Instead of offering protection from outside influences, we invite individuals to turn inward, to courageously face their fears, and to embrace the shadows within as invaluable teachers. Through self-exploration, honesty, and personal accountability, we can transform discomfort into growth. By recognizing that every feeling is a reflection of our inner state, we empower ourselves to cultivate genuine peace, stability, and self-awareness, free from the need to blame or fear what lies beyond us.

Our Ayahuasca brew is intentionally simple, containing only the two primary plants: Ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) and Chacruna (Psychotria viridis). We do not use any additives. Currently, we are working with yellow Ayahuasca vine sourced from Ecuador.

While we do not provide transportation or airport pick-ups, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is the closest major airport to Anna, Texas. From there, most participants choose to rent a car or use rideshare services like Uber or Lyft to reach our location. A rideshare typically costs around $50–$60, which is often more affordable than renting a car since you won’t need it during the weekend.

For those traveling from out of state, we organize a chat group for all participants before the ceremony. This is a great space to coordinate ride-sharing if others are arriving at the same time. However, we recommend having your own transportation plan as circumstances, like last-minute cancellations, can change.

While most participants feel something after drinking Ayahuasca, the nature and depth of the experience vary greatly from person to person. Ayahuasca works uniquely with each individual, often guiding them to what they need most in their healing or growth process at that time.

The depth of your experience often depends on your willingness to let go, face what arises, and stay present with the process. Some participants may feel profound insights or shifts immediately, while others experience more subtle effects that become clearer with reflection or integration over time.

Physical sensations, such as nausea, are common and often tied to emotional or energetic releases, not a reaction to the brew itself. These physical symptoms can be the first steps toward moving past patterns like denial, dissociation, or distraction. By leaning into these sensations and allowing the experience to unfold, the process deepens. Additional cups are sometimes offered during the ceremony to support this journey, but it’s less about the quantity and more about building a relationship of trust, surrender, and allowance with the medicine.

It’s important to note that it is possible to "fight" the experience. If you are unwilling to feel emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, or trauma, Ayahuasca cannot do the healing for you—you must be willing to feel first. Even ceremonies where you notice your own resistance, stubbornness, or struggle are valuable steps toward learning what surrender and letting go look and feel like. Ayahuasca meets you where you are and guides you toward deeper growth and transformation when you’re ready.

We require participants to have a blood pressure reading below 140/90 to ensure safety during the ceremony. Ayahuasca can cause a temporary rise in blood pressure due to its effects on the nervous system and the emotional or physical intensity of the experience.

While most participants experience only a modest and short-term increase, blood pressure typically returns to normal within 2-4 hours as the effects of the brew wear off.

If your blood pressure is close to the maximum threshold, it’s encouraged to work on lowering it through healthy lifestyle choices like diet, exercise, and stress management before attending. On the day of the ceremony, we’ll check your blood pressure beforehand. If it’s slightly elevated due to nerves, we may recommend grounding techniques such as deep breathing to help bring it back into a safe range.

Your safety is our priority, so if you have concerns about your blood pressure or health, please reach out for further guidance.
