New tribe,old ways retreat is a journey (evolution) from your old set ways ( ego) to your new authentic self ( soul) . You have all the answers in yourself to find your authentic self. Ayahuasca opens the way ( gives you lessons) to find the beautiful human in you and everyone else. I am a loner and was apprehensive at doing my Ayahuasca journey with a group of strangers , after the first night I realized the massive benefit of seeing my issue in other people. My analogy would be like hot coals in a fire , take one out and see how quick it dies while all the other hot coals are thriving from the benefit of being with each other.
