Protect others. Elevate safety. Share what happened.
If you’ve experienced or witnessed something unsafe, unethical, or concerning at an ayahuasca retreat, reporting it helps protect future participants and ensures retreat centers are held accountable. This form is for anyone—guests, facilitators, staff—who wants to speak up and strengthen safety across the ayahuasca space.

✅ What You Can Report:
