The blendimg of golf and Ayahuasca for this retreat was conceived by GOLF.com Top 100 Instructor in America, PGA Master Professional in Teaching & Coaching, and longtime Guinness World Record Holder in Speedgolf, Christopher Smith. His goal? To provide technical, on-course, and mindset guidance through his expertise as an instructor and golf guide for over three decades, combined with intention-based plant medicine (Ayahuasca) sessions geared to process blockages and barriers, while creating new, more productive behaviors and patterns - all in a safe, secure environment.
In conjunction with expert practioner and shaman Oscar Martinez, the Ayahuasca ceremonies focus on a purification process whereby old, limiting and dysfunctional thought patterns and trauma are purged out of the mind/body system; fresh, functional and liberating insights and possibilities surface, resulting in more pleasant, positive and productive views and outcomes for your golf game, and life.
The powerful yet gentle Ayahuasca brew will take you to higher realms, out of your 'default state' of being (temporarily), and into the depths and oft-buried/hidden motives and root causes of your issues and challenges on the golf course. The ever-present peaks and valleys of emotion shall surface, and you'll learn to recognize, acknowledge and address tthese pieces - regardless of how ‘stuck’ and powerless you may feel like you are, in your endless loop of disappointment, frustration or anger.
Ayahuasca therapies have been used successfully to improve mental functions, mood, mindfulness and even addictions, which often have their origins in emotions and trauma. From a golf standpoint, the medicine guides the player to a kinder, more compassionate and forgiving space within them, helping to silence the inner critic, judge and perfectionist.
At the end of the day, the game of golf - like an Ayahuasca ceremony - is an adventure. Different each and every time, where expectations must be tempered - if not eliminated entirely. Intentions reign; expect nothing; be prepared for anything, and everything. Most importantly: understand that the game owes you nothing, and its greatest performers are masters of acknowledgement, acceptance, and adjustment.
