Sacred Ceremony
A Path of Healing, Reflection, and Awakening
At Iowaska Church of Healing, ceremony is approached as more than an act of spiritual communion – it serves as the doorway to soul, healing and knowledge. Rooted in ancestral traditions and guided with reverence and care, these gatherings create a space where individuals may release burdens, reconnect with their inner truth, and deepen their relationship with the divine.
Through prayer, preparation, and thoughtful integration, ceremony becomes not a moment of escape, but a doorway to profound self-understanding and transformation that leads to a lifetime of betterment, enhanced purpose and deepened meaning.
For thousands of years, sacred plant medicines have been used in spiritual traditions to support healing, insight, and connection to the greater mystery of life.
Within the ceremonial space, Ayahuasca is honored as a sacrament — a living teacher that invites humility, reflection, and awakening.
At Iowaska Church of Healing, ceremony is approached with deep reverence, clear intention, and spiritual care. Each gathering is held as a protected space where individuals may safely open to insight, release what no longer serves them, and reconnect with the deeper truth of their own soul.
What Ceremony Is – and What It Is Not
Sacred ceremony is not escapism or an opportunity for curiosity alone. It is a deeply personal spiritual process that calls for humility, courage, and openness of heart.
Within the ceremonial space, each individual encounters the medicine in their own way. The experience unfolds uniquely for every participant, revealing what the soul is ready to see, release, or understand at that moment in life. Sometimes this comes as insight, sometimes as emotional release, and sometimes as a quiet remembering of truths long buried beneath the noise of everyday living.
At Iowaska Church of Healing, ceremonies are intentionally kept small so that each participant may receive focused guidance and personal spiritual support. Under the care of BaBa DaDo, the ceremony becomes a living dialogue between the medicine, the soul, and the sacred intelligence that guides the process.
This work asks something of those who enter it. It invites honesty, surrender, and a willingness to look within. Yet for those who walk this path with sincerity, the journey can be profoundly beautiful—opening the door to healing, clarity, and a renewed relationship with life itself.
“The medicine does not give you what you want. She reveals what your soul is ready for you to see.” -BaBa DaDo
Who Ceremony Is For
Ceremony is for those who feel sincerely ready to step forward with openness, humility, and trust into the deeper questions of their own life. This work invites individuals to look within with honesty and courage, allowing meaningful healing and personal transformation to unfold.
People come to Ayahuasca for many reasons. Some are seeking relief from emotional pain, trauma, or mental health struggles. Others come for clarity, insight, and a deeper understanding of their purpose and direction in life. The experience is never the same for any two people. The medicine meets each individual where they are, revealing what is most needed for that person’s growth, healing, and awakening.
At Iowaska Church of Healing, we sit with those who feel genuinely ready for change and the transformation this path can offer. Participants come from many walks of life, from individuals seeking emotional or spiritual healing to professionals searching for deeper clarity and meaning. What unites them is a willingness to approach the experience with sincerity, courage, and a genuine desire to grow.
Preparation & Integration
Ceremony is only one part of a much larger spiritual journey. The path begins long before the fires of ceremony are lit and continues well after the circle has closed.
Preparation itself is considered sacred work. Through preparatory calls, group guidance, and clear spiritual instruction, participants are supported in arriving mentally, physically, and spiritually ready for the experience ahead. This process helps create the conditions for the deepest possible connection with the medicine and with one’s own inner truth.
The work does not end when ceremony concludes. In many ways, the medicine continues its work in the days and weeks that follow. Participants are encouraged to remain engaged in the process of reflection and integration, allowing insights and healing to unfold naturally within their daily lives.
Through integration circles, community gatherings, and ongoing teachings inspired by the wisdom of BaBa DaDo, participants are supported as they continue walking the path of awakening with clarity, balance, and spiritual guidance.
Spiritual Guidance
Ceremonies are guided by BaBa DaDo, a clairvoyant healer and spiritual teacher who has devoted decades to the study of sacred traditions and the responsible use of plant medicines across cultures. Raised within a lineage of Balkan medicine healers and shaped by a lifetime of spiritual exploration, his work draws from ancestral wisdom, global spiritual teachings, and a deep commitment to compassion and service.
Those who enter ceremony under BaBa DaDo’s guidance quickly recognize the depth of his presence and care. Rather than leading large gatherings, he works closely with each participant, offering personal attention and spiritual support throughout the process. His role is not only to hold the ceremonial space, but to work alongside the medicine in helping individuals release what no longer serves them and open the way for healing and transformation.
Ceremonies are also supported by Jennifer, who sits in ceremony as a healer and guide alongside BaBa DaDo. Known for her steady and nurturing presence, she provides grounded support to participants throughout the process. Together they ensure that each ceremony is held within the balance of both masculine and feminine spiritual leadership, creating a safe and attentive container for the work that unfolds.
For BaBa DaDo, Jennifer, and the entire healing team, each participant’s safety, soul, and spiritual path are treated with the same reverence they would give their own. Ceremonies are never rushed or treated as routine; the space remains open for as long as necessary so that each individual can complete the work the medicine has brought forward. It is this level of dedication and sincerity that has drawn people from around the world to work with them.
Future Ceremonies
