Ayahuasca Retreats
Each ayahuasca retreat at the Temple of the Way of Light features a balance of female and male healers from the indigenous Shipibo tribe. This incredible team of healers is highly experienced in practicing the ancient art of ayahuasca shamanism. Their ayahuasca ceremonies are supported by highly trained and knowledgeable Western facilitators, who act as a critical cultural bridge between the healers and our guests. Through meticulous planning and experience with thousands of guests, the Temple has developed a range of ayahuasca retreat programs in our beautiful jungle environment, about two hours by boat and trek from the Peruvian city of Iquitos.

Changemakers Deep Healing and Integration Program
This unprecedented 5-month program of deep healing, personal mastery, leadership development, and individual transformation is a unique and revolutionary synthesis of Amazonian healing traditions with pioneering ontological inquiry and alignment work. The program is designed for visionaries, entrepreneurs, leaders, and innovators working specifically in the fields of individual and social transformation who already have or demonstrate clear potential for widespread positive impact in the world. Participants are guided in preparing for, participating in, and integrating the deep healing and transformational potentials offered by traditional Amazonian medicine combined with ontological inquiry. The program is delivered through three formats; virtual (via zoom), by-distance (remote energy healing), and in-person (at the Temple), to reach into significantly deeper realms than is possible solely through an ayahuasca retreat while also limiting your time away in the Amazon.

Traditional Plant Dietas at Niwe Rao Xobo
Sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of the page for an update when we publish dates for the next dietas!
We are excited to be collaborating with Maestra Ynes and her family as they offer traditional plant dietas at their center in San Francisco, Peru, near Pucallpa, on the Ucayali river. For generations, the family of Ynez Sanchez –with her son, Jose, and daughters, Laura and Lila– has been carrying and practicing the medicine and wisdom of their ancestors. These dietas will also include the added service of our highly skilled and bilingual facilitators to bridge the linguistic and cultural gaps, provide additional tools for processing and integration, and create a synergistic space to maximize the benefits of your traditional Shipibo plant dieta.
**Prior experience with ayahuasca is strictly required.**
