At the same time, even in ancient African religions like the Yoruba, payment is necessary for a shaman to conduct a ceremony, as the exchange of value is an intrisical part of the ceremony.

These ceremonies in Brazil are non profit and the payment is a donation and is often waived.

Research the most popular groups like Santo Daime, Uniao Vegetal and the Universalists (the ones in the article).

What happened was that the people who self-rated themselves as happy before the experience saw virtually no improvement after the experience. Most of the positive outcomes were due to the people who stated they were distressed before the experience.

Also, this link is not pay walled, btw.

They were not present. The ceremonies were conducted by a center in Brazil that receives over 1400 people per year. I meant to say that the data and analysis were coordinated and published by a group of economists.

Are you serious? I am super curious to know more about your experience, if you don't mind sharing.

This particular study was not a clinical trial; it was a field experiment where participants in a religious ritual in Brazil filled a self-assessment questionnaire to measure the outcomes of the ayahuasca ceremony. This article was not peer-reviewed and is basically an explorative article rather than a rigid study, so I think your experience was different.
