About me, my motivations and experience

Hi! I am Ana Ferreira, a psychedelic preparation and integration guide, and meditation teacher currently living in the Sacred Valley of Cusco, Peru.

I am part of the Triratna Buddhist Order and have 10 years of meditation practice. I am also an avid student of the many admirable minds who inhabited the world in the past. The Buddha, Lao Tse, Plato, Hermes Trismegistus, Carl Jung and Stanislav Grof are just a few of these wise people.

That is why my work combines the milenar wisdom of philosophy with psychology and Buddhism, which I attempt to translate into compassionate and easy to digest teachings and personalised meditations. You can read my blog and follow me on Instagram to get acquainted with my work.

My personal experience with psychedelics led me to specialise in tailoring meditations to those wanting to explore deeper parts of their psiques with the aid of plant medicine. My well established meditation practice was an invaluable tool in my preparations, ceremonies and integration of insights into my life.

I have already accompanied over 1200 people with their Ayahuasca, Wachuma (San Pedro), Psilocybin (mushrooms) and other psychedelic experiences. I have learned a lot by working in a well-known Ayahuasca centre in Cusco, which has over 40 years of history.

In psychedelic preparation, meditation fosters the arising of a sense of calm, trust, and acceptance, and helps us to align our intentions with our true needs. In psychedelic integration, meditation helps us to ground our experience, make sense of confusion and deal with the aftermath of a big change. You can read my beautiful and heartfelt reviews to see how meditating with me helped other people.

Here, it is important to mention that I consider psychedelic substances as one of the many tools that we can benefit from on our path to becoming more human. I do not consider them essential or right for everyone.

There are many ways to make progress in the human evolution path. I focus on the combination of the wisdom of people who were clearly ahead of me in this journey, the power of introspection, and the wisdom of nature.

I am currently studying with Psychedelics Today and will be a certified ‘Psychedelic Informed Practitioner’ by 2025.

I speak fluent English, Portuguese and Spanish, and offer meditations for all levels in all three languages.
