A woman who took ayahuasca 45 times in three months has described her experience as ‘like watching a Netflix series’ of her ‘past lives’. Tatjana Strobel, 53, and from Germany, took the hallucinogenic drink every other day during ceremonies at a retreat in Bolivia with a group of ten other attendees.
Revealing her experience to DailyMail.com, she said she saw herself in a new role every time — including a philosopher, a concertist, a witch, and a prophet.
The writer is overwhelmingly positive about her trips, claiming the drug combated her phobias of snakes and even death.
Some of her most bizarre visions include ‘marrying herself’ and discovering that she’s visited Plato’s fictional island of Atlantis.
Ayahuasca, which is illegal in the US, has surged in popularity in recent years for its alleged ability to ‘reset’ the mind and ease mental health woes.
Retreats outside the US offering it have amassed a following of celebrities including Will Smith, Chelsea Handler and even Prince Harry.
To others considering taking ayahuasca, Ms Strobel says: ‘If you are on your way somewhere then it can help you, but if not it might not help you find who you are.’
