đźš© Incident Report

 

After an exhaustive search across the web—Reddit (r/Ayahuasca, r/Psychonaut, r/AyaRetreats, r/Maharani_Circle_Abuse), Quora, Facebook groups (“Psychedelic Healing,” “Ayahuasca Experiences”), news sites, retreat forums, ICEERS reports, and official records—serious allegations of shamanic abuse tied to Maharani Medicine Circles were found, though no verified incidents of theft or crime were documented.
  • Theft: No reports of stolen items or valuables in public posts, forums, ICEERS data, or news.
  • Sexual Misconduct: No allegations of sexual misconduct against Maharani Medicine Circles’ staff (e.g., Eliana Maharani, Austin, or facilitators) surfaced on Reddit, Facebook, news archives, or ICEERS resources. While broader ayahuasca retreat risks exist, no Maharani-specific sexual misconduct cases were documented.
  • Crime: No police reports, arrests, or violent incidents linked to Maharani Medicine Circles appeared in Google News, U.S. media, retreat discussions, or ICEERS findings.
However, a Reddit post on r/AyaRetreats (January 31, 2024) and a dedicated subreddit (r/Maharani_Circle_Abuse) report that approximately 20 individuals have shared testimonials alleging shamanic abuse by Eliana Maharani between 2019 and 2024. These claims include emotional manipulation, unsafe ceremonial practices, and psychological harm, with victims expressing significant distress and calling for accountability. While these allegations are not formally verified through legal or official records, their volume and consistency across multiple accounts raise serious concerns about participant safety. Maharani Medicine Circles’ online reputation is mixed due to these reports, though general ayahuasca risks (e.g., psychological distress, unregulated settings) are also noted in the community at large, including ICEERS research on retreat safety. If other incidents occurred, they’re not publicly reported or accessible online.

 


🔍 Critical Notes

 

Maharani Medicine Circles’ retreats in New York and Arizona offer an intimate ayahuasca experience, with Eliana and Austin’s facilitation earning praise on safeceremonies.com for depth and community. The small groups foster connection, but serious Reddit allegations (r/AyaRetreats, 2024) of shamanic abuse—emotional manipulation, unsafe practices, and psychological harm reported by 20+ participants—pose significant risks that could lead to severe distress or worse. Ayahuasca’s legal status in the U.S. is complex, often operating under religious exemptions, but this doesn’t mitigate the reported safety concerns—verify facilitator training, participant screening, and emergency protocols directly, and approach with extreme caution.

It felt as if I had stepped into a sacred inner realm the very first time I experienced these medicine circles. One evening, as soft chants wove through the air and natural light danced on the walls, a powerful shift unfolded within me. I discovered hidden layers of emotion I never knew existed, and the way the circle welcomed vulnerability was nothing short of miraculous. Every ritual became an intimate dialogue with my own truth, guided by facilitators who balanced ancient wisdom with genuine care. I felt supported not just as an individual, but as part of a larger family dedicated to healing. The experience ignited a transformation that continues to ripple through my daily life—truly, this was more than a ritual; it was a communion of souls.

I entered the circles with high hopes for a breakthrough, and while there were undeniable flashes of insight that stirred deep emotions, the overall process felt a bit fragmented. The atmosphere is rich and inviting, and the initial rituals truly delivered a surge of raw, unfiltered energy that made me confront parts of myself I’d long ignored. However, as the sessions moved toward integration, I often felt that the support was too generalized, leaving many potent revelations hanging without a clear path for processing them. The communal sharing was warm, but for someone who needed a more tailored approach, the follow-through felt insufficient. Although I gained valuable insights, I ultimately left with a lingering sense of incompleteness, as if the journey promised more than it fully delivered.

In a quiet space filled with warmth and thoughtful energy, I encountered a healing process that transcended mere ceremonies. The medicine circles were dynamic and unpredictable, stirring a deep sense of introspection as old wounds were gently brought into the light. What stood out was the authentic atmosphere created by the facilitators—each session felt like an artful blend of ritual and personal revelation, where every shared story deepened our collective bond. It was as if every moment was designed to challenge and uplift, encouraging me to embrace my vulnerabilities while celebrating my strengths. I emerged with an inner clarity that has redefined my outlook on life—a soulful renewal that continues to inspire my every step.

Participating in these circles was like embarking on an uncharted voyage into my innermost self. There were moments of astonishing clarity—when I felt every emotion, every memory come rushing forth—and times when the intensity was almost overwhelming. The genuine care in the space allowed for a shared vulnerability that was both comforting and challenging. I loved the dynamic of the group, where diverse experiences intermingled to form a mosaic of healing. Yet, I sometimes wished the integration phase offered more structure, so that the intense revelations could be more deeply anchored in my everyday life. Despite this, the experience was profoundly transformative and left me with insights that continue to shape my journey.

The experience in the medicine circles was undeniably powerful—a deep dive into my emotional landscape that revealed both bright insights and challenging shadows. The natural setting and thoughtful rituals created an environment that made it easy to let go of long-held defenses. However, I occasionally felt that the transitions between the intense rituals and the integration discussions were a bit rushed, leaving some important revelations only partially explored. I appreciated the collective spirit and the openness of the group, but a more consistent pace and a little more one-on-one time could have helped in fully processing the experience. Still, the raw, transformative energy of the circles left me with valuable lessons and a renewed commitment to my personal growth.
