No (and sorry I don't know enough european centers to suggest any. My perspective is that the substance you drink is only one part of it, the curandero and their experience is the other, and I can't imagine there would be a lot of traditional experience over there)

No, not much. But plenty of new age shamans, who are spiritual, because they flew into the Amazonas once.

Definitely. When I did it with brasilian Santo Deime folks, I was part of the whole ceremony, including cooking it traditionally for a long, long time and preparing mentally for it. Something like this I would like to do again at some point.
