I don't know if I could handle a mind altering experience, I'd hate to freak out. How long was the high?
I consider myself an atheist but TBH I'd love to believe in anything other than my current thoughts. I'm open minded enough to understand that how our brains view the world, reality, the universe etc is only one way of doing so.

Irony of ironies, the event, run by a Colombian Shaman, didn't take place in Colombia, but in Brooklyn. I've been reading about this for a couple of years and just never found the right place in Colombia. This Shaman, Ramon Orlando travels throughout the world on these tours. He's the real deal and can be found here

The only drugs I've done before this is pot and coke. The ceremony lasted 11 hours and I had visions for about 6 hours, though hard to keep track of time. I felt in a safe environment because of the Shaman and his helpers - I don't think they would have let anyone freak out. About midway through they offered us more yaje, but I declined. About half of the group took more.
You sound just like me. I considered myself an atheist, but open to anything. I am no longer an atheist, but I'm still reconciling what's out there.
Paul - if I can help you in any way with more information, please don't hesitate to ask.
