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.

Traditional Plant Dietas
Plant Dietas at Niwe Rao Xobo
Since 2009, the Temple has been blessed with the presence and expertise of one of the most recognized and powerful lineages of Shipibo healers from Pucallpa. 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. Acknowledging the immense value that they bring to our extended family through their expertise, integrity, commitment, love, and passion for plant medicine, the Temple is excited and honored to support them as they design, develop, and promote their own programs at their center in San Francisco, Peru, near Pucallpa, on the Ucayali river.
**Prior experience with ayahuasca is strictly required.**
