Abstract
The use of qualitative, interpretive phenomenological analysis using the theoretical lens of holism was used to explore stress relief for the spiritual experience of practitioners in the Santo Daime Church. The spiritual and ritual use of ayahuasca reveals profound shifts in consciousness that engender the development of expedited and effective coping mechanisms for daily and life stressors. This may impact conventional assumptions regarding alternative therapeutic aids.
