HummingBird Church is a scam
Trip Report / Personal Experience
I just did one day of what was supposed to be a two-day retreat. It was held in Franklin TN April 4-6. After the first night I went to bed angry and disgusted. The next morning I immediately changed my flight ordered my own uber and left. Although I heard they apologized profusely to everyone else involved, to me they said nothing. They knew not to bother. I’ve taken part in multiple legitimate Ayahuasca ceremonies. This was most definitely not that.
I don’t think they’re good people at all. Quite the contrary. I think the whole ‘church’ is little more than a poorly executed scam. They’re grifting good people out of money they don’t have, and robbing them of the hours and days of their lives they will bitterly never get back.
I spent seven days @ Rythmia in Costa Rica this past New Years. The experience was diametrical in its difference. Including the medicine served. There were two different types at the four different ceremonies I took part in. Each more amazing than the last.
Whatever they are dosing people with at these hummingbird ‘ceremonies’, it is certainly not ayahuasca.
My experience was extremely disappointing. I arrived that day at 12 noon. No food of any kind was made available the entire day. The ceremony was not scheduled to start until 8. It did not actually begin until well after 9. And they talked for three long hours about nothing before serving ‘medicine’ that did nothing at all. NADA! EVERYONE sat around looking at each other bored, angry.
That’s the other thing; you are confined to a room smaller than my bedroom at home. On the second floor the stairs are dangerously steep and the outside area is even more fraught with opportunities for you to fall or trip. You can’t talk or touch or smile or laugh At All for the 8+ hours you’re expected to sit there on your mat alone, you can’t even leave the tiny room you’re confined to with strangers without first raising your hand (like a child) and asking permission. You are then escorted to and from the bathroom. (the escort refused to even speak or respond to my attempts at casual conversation, it was weird. The escort also waits outside the door, like a prison guard).
I also found it most interesting this seemed to be the first time for everyone else there but me. The word ‘church’ implies a community. But one of the speakers said the quiet part out loud: 95% of the people in the room would never be back.
I would definitely not, under any circumstances ever waste my time or money. The worst trip I’ve ever taken. Again, whatever they’re dosing you with it’s not ayahuasca.
I would strongly discourage anyone from joining one of these retreats. There are no professionals involved with this grift at all. No therapist no doctors no nurses even. If there is a problem of any sort, you’re on your own (having signed ALL of your rights away for holding them responsible for anything, to include your death from their negligence) the privilege of wasting $1,500+ and a weekend of your life stolen from you you’ll never get back.
