The Temple Integration Program - Navigating the Ceremony of Life
Your experience with the medicine might have been life-changing, deeply spiritual, or physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging. You may have felt stretched in many ways, experienced revelations, gained clarity, made new friends, and forged deep connections.
So much can happen during your time at the Temple. Now what? How can you make these teachings and experiences alive in your daily life? You might be asking yourself some or all of the questions below and facing these challenges:
- How do I maintain connection in my daily life to the work of the healers / ikaros and the higher intelligence that guided me in ceremony.
- How do I strengthen the trust in myself that I might have felt so clearly in ceremonies?
- How do I tap into the sacredness of every moment and every breath in my daily life?
- How do I continue to remind myself and stay aware of what is most important in my life as it unfolds at such a fast pace?
- How do I harness and alchemize challenging and complex moments in my life?
The new Temple Integration Program offers a guidance and a road map to explore these questions and cultivate powerful practices to keep you guided and growing on this path.

What Makes the Temple Integration Program Unique
This transformational program specializes in ayahuasca and plant-spirit healing and integration, based on our extensive experience with over 15,000 retreat participants. This program is ultimately sourced by the Shipibo wisdom keepers, the plant spirits, and the Amazon Rainforest itself!
Our team members carry plant-spirit dietas, an ancient Amazonian system of healing and training that is unfortunately extremely rare within the modern / Western ‘psychedelic renaissance’. We complement this with modern therapeutic methods like Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, Compassionate Inquiry, Yoga therapy, and Mindfulness.
Following the principle of an acorn transforming into an oak tree, this integration program is the result of 18 years of growth, challenges, deep learning, and evolution—we do not know of any other integration program that offers this level of wisdom and experience, specifically related to the integration of ayahuasca / plant-spirit healing.

Juliana Bizare
Coordinator, Senior Retreat and Integration FacilitatorJuliana ’s first spiritual experience was a journey with Ayahuasca in the Santo Daime tradition, in Brazil in 1995. During this experience a whole new world opened up to her, the world of the plants and their sophisticated healing powers.
A few years later she started travelling the world and learn about other ancient traditions immersing herself in dharma centers and ashrams in Asia and the USA, like Tushita Dharma Center in India, Kopan Monastery in Nepal and Spirit Rock in California. She also lived in a healthy community/ school in Brazil – University of Light for a couple of years, where she graduated in Transpersonal Psychology.
She has also been deepening her knowledge of the Plants through Dieting different Master Plants with the Lopez Sanchez Family (Maestras Ynes, Laura & Maestro José), in the Shipibo Tradition.
For the past 20 years, Juliana’s true passion has been the study and integration of the Eastern practices of Yoga and Mindfulness into the work with Sacred Plant Medicines and different modern psychological approaches, with the focus on renegotiating our traumas and rewriting our own life narratives.
She has now supported hundreds of people before, during and after their medicine journeys. Through her own experience with the medicine, she has gained a clear understanding of the importance of the integration process. To be able to support people in a more holistic way, she also trained in the Compassionate Inquiry approach with Gabor Maté and a 3-year training on Somatic Experiencing by Peter Levine, a powerful body-centered approach. For the past seven years she has been working at the Temple, and also working online as an Integration Facilitator.
Her goal is to empower people to feel safe in their bodies, integrate trauma and all different parts of our human experience, so people can have clarity on their path and purpose in life.
Integration Program Modules
Perspectives on Integration with Publio Valle
Why is there such an emphasis on integration in the West? You have likely gone through a life-changing experience, and that happened in a different culture than yours. After the retreat, you return to a society that does not necessarily support your new ways of being and sensing the world. Many of us might feel alone, sometimes even questioning if we are doing something wrong or not integrating our healing correctly.
In this module, we’ll explore our leading associations and expectations about integration to normalize and celebrate your experience. We will look into the different domains of Integration and how that applies to your daily life and relationships. We will also learn to recognize “I am always supported” and how to cultivate practices to navigate your new and stronger sense of self.
Tests as the Essence of Plant Spirit Teachings with Publio Valle
It is very common for participants to report that life is getting more difficult after a retreat. In this module, we will better understand what “tests” are and how to navigate them in a way conducive to deepening our process.
In curanderismo – plant spirit healing – the pruebas are seen as the fundamental way that we learn what’s aligned and what’s not aligned in our lives. They are often the core teachings on the path of awakening.
Life Architecture, Structures Crumbling, Compensations with Publio Valle
Our lives are generally built on a foundation of traumas and unconscious material that are not well processed until we dive deep into the work with medicine. After a retreat, we may perceive that our work makes no sense any more, addictions become more uncomfortable, our relationships might become more difficult, or we simply struggle to find inspiration in the context where we are.
In this module, we will explore in depth what is called “Structures Crumbling”, the compensations through which we’ve been acting, and the core beliefs we carry behind all of this.
Collaborating with the Divine through IN-bodiment with Dr Sarah Marshall, ND
How would you describe your relationship if your body were a family member? Do you love each other? Do you hate each other? Do you even talk? How we have been trained to relate to our bodies from cultural and familial imprinting is to mostly power through and ignore.
In this module, we will uncover the many ways our body can be one of our greatest guides to wholeness, health, and fulfillment by learning to listen to its signals and reinterpreting our symptoms to uncover the ancient wisdom we all hold within.
Physiologic Detoxification and Purification of Our Divine Bodies with Dr Sarah Marshall, ND
Working with ayahuasca is working with an ancient plant medicine modality that supports cleaning and purifying our spiritual selves by working with the ways of the plants and nature. Working with these sacred plants can also purify our physical bodies. How can we take these practices into our lives and continue on the path of releasing what no longer serves us?
In this module, we will discuss how we can access profound physical purification on a day-to-day basis in a way that works WITH our body’s natural function versus depleting its resources by aligning our lives to the laws of nature.
Conscious Nourishment and Caring for Our Inner Ecosystem with Dr Sarah Marshall, ND
As we embark on a new way of living based on the insights and discoveries of our time at the temple, many people realize that how they have been eating and treating their bodies no longer makes sense. Addictions are often revealed, and a new appreciation for the natural world and its aliveness becomes an undeniable truth. How can we best care for our bodies’ needs AND nourish ourselves in a way that aligns with our new consciousness?
In this module, we go even deeper into what ‘taking care’ of our divine body really requires and how we can promote our mental, emotional, and spiritual healing journeys by making intuitive, consciously aligned choices about what we put in ourselves and how we take care of the ecosystem of microbiota that makes us.
Meeting and Freeing the Inner Critic with Juliana Bizare
In this module, we explore the structure of the inner critic from a Buddhist perspective called Mara. We explore how this structure formed and distorts our view of the Past, Present and Future.
After working with the medicine, the impact of the inner critic becomes even more apparent. We learn to recognize when we are attacked or in a trance and get space from the inner critic.
We will explore different ways to see through inner criticism and judgment. We learn that clarity, exaggeration, humor, and compassion can all be valuable tools for seeing through Mara.
You’ll learn powerful ways to create a sense of inner peace and confidence, which will help you overcome the habits of self-doubt and criticism.
Better Feel, Learning to Be with Discomfort with Juliana Bizare
Working with ayahuasca doesn’t necessarily make us feel better but helps us to better feel. The shadow material we suppressed, the things we didn’t want to see, are now more evident.
A common tendency is to try to distract ourselves from discomfort, but that usually doesn’t help. In this module, we will explore the importance of cultivating concentration, paying attention, and being nonjudgmental about what emerges in us.
Working with our Attitudinal Muscles with Juliana Bizare
After your retreat, you might see even more clearly the familiar tendency of the mind to criticize and judge ourselves, others, and situations in our lives. This causes a sense of separation and makes us suffer. The world is dominated by a thought system that is not necessarily aligned with the truth of who we are. It is based on fear and not love.
We have a strong impulse to move into attack or defensiveness, so it takes training to let go of this habit and move into a different attitude about love, not fear.
In this module, we will explore our power of choice to align ourselves with an attitude of the heart. We will learn that when we orient ourselves to the possibilities of the heart, we feel supported and can relax and trust our innate wisdom.
