Changa

Changa is a blend of dried herbs and plants that is typically smoked or vaporized to produce a powerful, short-lasting psychedelic experience with much insight. It contains dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and an monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). The specific blend can vary, but common ingredients include Ayahuasca, Bobinsana,  and Chacruna.

  • Small group setting: 2–8 participants per ceremony.

  • Visionary experiences: Encounters with loved ones, guides, and spirits, as well as insights into personal attachments and identities.
  • Divine understanding: Access to higher perspectives about yourself and the universe.

Benefits of Changa

Here are pome of the potential benefits of working with Changa, according to some people who have had experiences with the substance:


  • A stepping-stone ceremony for those considering ayahuasca.
  • Greater control over the intensity of your experience.
  • Real-time insights into how and why this sacrament affects you.
  • Opportunities to connect with loved ones who have crossed over.
  • Preparation for, or exploration of, ego dissolution with control over depth.
  • No physical purging (though emotional releases, such as tears, may occur).
  • Increased creativity and problem-solving abilities
  • Enhanced physical and mental well-being
  • Long-lasting analgesic (pain relief) effect

Remarkably, Changa could offer pain treatment that target multiple monoamine neurotransmitters, as recommended by some authors (Benson et al., 2015). The effects of Changa can vary greatly from person to person, and it is important to approach the use of Changa with caution and to be aware of the potential risks and contraindications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at support@peacefulmountain.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.

The effects of Changa can vary depending on the specific blend of herbs and plants used, as well as the individual's sensitivity to the substances. Common effects include altered states of consciousness, visual and auditory hallucinations, and altered perceptions of time and space.    


Unlike other traditional sacraments, physical purging (vomiting or using the restroom) is not typically associated with Changa. However other forms of purging like crying or laughter may be associated as triggered by an emotional release and can be very beautiful when working in a safe container.


Changa is typically smoked or vaporized using a pipe or vaporizer. It is important to follow proper safety precautions when using changa while having an experienced guide or facilitator.    


As with any psychoactive substance, there are potential risks associated with using Changa. It is important to be aware of these risks and to consult a health practitioner as well as an experienced facilitator with any concerns before using Changa.      


Peaceful Mountain is an offical Non-Profit 501c3 Church.  We operate under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) of 1993 is a federal law that protects the freedom of religion by: 

  • Prohibiting the government from substantially burdening a person's exercise of religion 
  • Defining the exercise of religion broadly to include all aspects of observance and practice 
  • Protecting the constitutional right of minority religious groups to freely exercise their religious beliefs 


As with any psychoactive substance, there are potential risks associated with using Changa. It is important to be aware of these risks and to use Changa responsibly, with caution and respect.    


The duration of an Changa experience itself can vary, but it typically lasts for 5-15 minutes. However, the ceremony around using it can vary as well depending on how it is being facilitated.  


A Changa ceremony typically involves setting an intention while creating a safe container, consuming the Changa in a traditional setting, such as a shamanic retreat or a church/non profit org, and may include music, chanting, prayer and intention setting and other rituals.  


There are studies being done with Changa on the therapeutic uses of pain relief, but it is not currently approved for medical or therapeutic use. The modern day psychedelic revolution has just begun in what is possible for psychedelics.


Like any psychoactive substance, Changa can have negative side effects, including anxiety, panic attacks, and psychosis. It is important to be aware of these potential risks and consult your health practioner with any questions or concerns before deciding to use Changa.    


The potency of Changa can vary depending on the specific blend of herbs and plants used as well as how it is served. Some users report that the effects of Changa can be much more intense than other psychedelics.    


It is important to be cautious when using Changa with medication, as it can interact with certain medications and may cause negative effects. It is important to discuss the use of Changa with a   healthcare provider, your facilitator, and to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits.    

See Contraindications


As with any psychoactive substance, it is possible to have a "difficult" experience while using Changa. It is important to be prepared for this possibility and to have a sober sitter or facilitator present to provide support and assistance if needed. These moments can be beautiful opportunities to embrace, process, and release blockages, trauma, and other things that may be holding us back in life.


It is not recommended to use Changa outside of traditional ceremony.  It is important to work with intention, a safe container, and an experienced facilitator.

Testimonials

Please reach us at Thankyou@peacefulmountain.org if you would like to leave a testimonial for our work.

My experiences sitting in Changa ceremonies led by Aaron are unforgettable! The way he operates provides such powerful experiences. The music he creates during the ceremony does such an incredible job of guiding the energy of the medicine in a beautiful way. He is very intentional with how he serves, creating a protected and safe container. I really enjoy how deep of an experience can be had with this medicine, although it is such a short lasting journey compared to other medicines.
