Psilohuasca

Psilocin — the active compound within psilocybin mushrooms — is a cousin of DMT, the spirit molecule carried by the vine of Ayahuasca. A tiny chemical variation is all that separates them, yet that difference changes everything. Psilocin is orally active, meaning that when we eat the sacred mushrooms, their consciousness awakens naturally within us.Psilohuasca is born when these two lineages intertwine — when the wisdom of the mushrooms meets the intelligence of the vine. It combines psilocybin‑rich mushrooms or truffles with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as Harmine, our favorite. The result is a deeply introspective and heart‑opening experience, one that unfolds slowly and reveals the subtle voice of both realms working together.

The name Psilohuasca honors the collaboration of the mushroom and a Syrian rue MAOI — two ancient teachers speaking a common spiritual language. On a biochemical level, the MAOI prevents the body from breaking down psilocin too quickly, allowing the experience to expand over time. At Quantum Vines, Psilohuasca is prepared with carefully cultivated Copelandia cyanescens mushrooms — known for their high psilocin content and luminous potency. Harmine extract supports the body gently, calming the mind and softening the transition into altered states. Together they weave an atmosphere of trust, comfort, and profound exploration.

A Psilohuasca journey usually lasts seven to nine hours, a slow rhythmic unfolding. It differs from Ayahuasca not in depth but in texture — the work feels inward, silent, reflective.While Ayahuasca often opens cosmic visions and brings encounters with external intelligences, Psilohuasca tends to lead into the inner sanctum of the self. The boundaries between “me” and “everything else” dissolve. One may feel completely interconnected, embraced by existence itself. In this space, emotions, patterns, and forgotten memories rise to be understood and gently released.The process moves in distinct waves — organized, intelligent, and precise. It’s as if the mushroom knows the order in which the soul needs to heal. Many find this structured flow comforting, a spiral of insight that feels guided yet organic.Unlike traditional Ayahuasca, Psilohuasca rarely brings intense purging. Instead, it dissolves resistance through surrender and perception rather than through the body. This doesn’t make it lighter — only different. Each medicine has its way of teaching.

In our retreats, Psilohuasca and Ayahuasca are experienced sequentially, never in competition but in harmony. The vine opens the gates; the mushroom walks the inner corridors. After Ayahuasca, Psilohuasca often feels like an echo that turns inward — integrating the revelations and grounding them gently in the heart.Even weeks later, many notice that their mushroom journeys seem to carry Ayahuasca’s vibration — as if the vine’s pathways remain alive, enabling psilocin to travel deeper into the subtle layers of consciousness. This synergy refines the healing, bridging the visionary with the emotional, the cosmic with the personal.Together they create a complete circuit of transformation — Ayahuasca reaching down from the heavens, Psilohuasca rising up from the soil of being. When these energies meet, something wordless happens: an alignment of spirit and matter, an awakening to the wholeness already within.
