During an inner journey with ayahuasca, experiences can vary greatly from person to person. Ayahuasca is a powerful psychedelic plant mixture of DMT and caapi, and this can induce profound spiritual and therapeutic journeys.
During an ayahuasca ceremony, people can have various visual and sensory experiences. Indeed, some people experience intense, colorful visions, while others may experience more internal insights and emotional processing. It is also possible for people to experience a combination of both. The visual aspects of an ayahuasca experience can vary from geometric patterns and colorful shapes to seeing symbolic images and experiencing an altered perception of the environment. These visual experiences can be very vivid and intense.
What you can experience on ayahuasca is very personal, and the effect depends on various factors, including the dosage, the exact mix of the brew, the setting, and the person's mindset.
At Triptherapie, we offer legal alternatives to ayahuasca. This is psilohuasca or psiloflora. Psiloflora is the easiest psychedelic to use, which produces the visual effects but not as many intense physical reactions.

A inner journey with ayahuasca It is often described as one of the most intense and spiritually transformative experiences anyone can undergo. During such a journey, you are, as it were, drawn deep into your subconscious, where you experience images, emotions, and insights that normally lie outside your daily consciousness.
What exactly you see and feel is unique to each person, but there are a number of common characteristics. One of them is indeed the impressive visual component: many people see complex colorful patterns, geometric shapes, beings or entities, jungle-like landscapes, or even visions of deceased loved ones or ancestral symbolism. These visual hallucinations are often rich in color, movement and meaning and are described by some as “living art” or “another dimension”.
But the journey is much more than just visual. It is actually about what you feels and experiences. Ayahuasca opens a gateway to deep-seated emotions, traumas, limiting beliefs, and unconscious patterns. These are often experienced not only mentally but also physically — including nausea, chills, or the so-called purge (vomiting), which is symbolically seen as letting go of inner baggage.
According to Triptherapie, this process of letting go and gaining insight is also called a cleansing of consciousness mentioned. Many people gain profound insights into their lives, relationships, fears, or purpose of existence after the session.
Because ayahuasca is illegal in the Netherlands, Triptherapie offers legal alternatives such as the psiloflora ceremony, which can evoke a similar inner journey, including colorful visuals, emotional breakthroughs, and spiritual connection — but with a gentler entry and fewer physical discomforts. Visual hallucinations are also possible with a high dose of psilocybin in combination with passionflower, and are structurally very similar to those of ayahuasca.
In short: yes, you are going to see many colors — but the most important thing is what you experiences, learns and lets go. The visuals are beautiful, but the real journey takes place in your heart and soul.
