Temple Facilities
The Temple of the Way of Light is located about two hours from Iquitos (up to a one-hour walk from the nearest river). The Temple sits on over 175 hectares of rainforest land with buildings spread out over 20 hectares. The Temple also hosts a permaculture center with numerous projects flourishing across our grounds, supporting self-sufficiency and regeneration of the land. Our land is home to food forests, aquaculture systems, medicinal gardens, and successional poly-crop production of staple foods. We utilize solar energy (for operational use in our kitchens), spring-fed drinking water systems, running-water showers, integrated waste management (recycling, greywater systems, compost toilets), biochar soil-improvement techniques, and much more.
The Temple consists of three centers:
Center 1
Where our 9 and 12-Day workshops are held, as well as other specialized retreats. Our ayahuasca retreats are developed in close co-operation with the Shipibo healers themselves, as far as possible in accordance with their traditional use of the medicinal plants of the Amazon.
Center 2
Where we hold the Deep Immersion Program, 14-Day Retreats, and other specialized retreats. This center is where we hold programs that combine the traditional Amazonian Shipibo way of working with ayahuasca with a number of Western and Eastern integrative practices that support the healing journey.
Center 3: The Chaikuni Center
Where work exchange guests and interns stay who are focused on Permaculture and other associated Temple projects. We also hold specialized programs and dietas here.
