Ayahuasca sessions are not 50-minute appointments. They run 4–8 hours, often in group settings, with intense somatic and emotional content and an integration arc that can last weeks or months. Ignite Synergy gives retreat centers, religious-exempt programs, and international clinics the operational backbone to deliver this care safely and consistently.
Ayahuasca-aware workflows across the full ceremony lifecycle
- Pre-ceremony screening for MAOI/SSRI interactions, cardiovascular risk, and psychiatric history
- Dieta tracking and participant readiness in the days leading up to the ceremony
- Group session scheduling with facilitator and dyad/sitter assignments
- Vitals logging and adverse event capture during 4–8 hour ceremonies (including purging, anxiety, and cardiovascular events)
- Structured session notes with AI-assisted documentation
- Multi-week integration program with journaling, intention revisits, and care-team check-ins
Why generic EHRs fall short for ayahuasca programs
Traditional EHRs were built for billable visits, not for the realities of plant-medicine work. Ayahuasca programs need software that understands ceremonial context, group dynamics, extended physiological monitoring, and an integration window that may run weeks beyond the dosing day. Ignite Synergy is designed for that arc—from preparation through follow-through.
Safety, screening, and adverse event tracking
Ayahuasca's MAOI activity creates real interaction risks with SSRIs, SNRIs, and a range of medications and foods. Our pre-screening workflow flags risk patterns early, and our adverse event tracking module captures purging, anxiety spikes, blood pressure changes, and behavioral concerns in a structured, reportable format. Extended session EHR support keeps vitals and events in one timeline.

Note: Ayahuasca is a Schedule I controlled substance under U.S. federal law outside of narrow religious exemptions (e.g., UDV, Santo Daime). Ignite Synergy is software infrastructure for legally operating programs—clinical research, religious-exempt practices, and clinics in jurisdictions where ayahuasca care is authorized.
