Direct answer

Look for someone with real experience — either personal, professional training (MAPS, Fluence, Polaris, Synthesis), or years of holding integration circles. On the intake call ask: "Have you sat with people after ayahuasca specifically?" and "What's your view on the medicine?" A good practitioner won't moralize either direction. The Alliance's Professional Directory is a curated starting point of facilitators and therapists who have been vetted by peers.
