It must be a safe place, and you should not leave the place until you feel better and the shaman says it’s time for you to go. You will leave the place blessed by the local shaman.
Some recommendations: bring warm clothing, mats, and a pillow with a wool cap, as during the ceremony, you may feel cold.
