Some tickets for the event include Prince Harry’s recent memoir "Spare," as well as Maté’s book "The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture."
The media reacted to the news, with one Jezebel writer claiming that she would "gladly fork over $33.09 to watch Prince Harry go on a personal ayahuasca retreat to cleanse himself of the ills of having King Charles as his father."
"Hell, I’d round up to $34, baby!"

Maté is a well-known doctor in Canada who has also been tied to the drug ayahuasca, which is described as one of the "ancient Amazon healing traditions" on his website.
Prince Harry himself told The Telegraph that he had an emotional experience after using the drug, one which helped him realize that his mother, the late Princess Diana, wanted him "to be happy."
"So this weight off my chest was not the need to cry," Prince Harry explained during his interview with The Telegraph, "it was the acceptance and realisation that [Princess Diana] has gone, but that she wants me to be happy and that she’s very much present in my life."
Harry, who has been on a media blitz of interviews and TV appearances in recent months with his wife, Meghan Markle, has also admitted to cocaine and marijuana use in his twenties.
