Temple of the Way of Light's video: Integration Intensive Ayahuasca Retreat - Clearing Blockages - Ruan

Ruan shares his experience attending an Integration Intensive Ayahuasca Retreat at the Temple. He came to the Temple looking to identify and clear blockages and to improve his work as a therapist working in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Arizona. Our Integration Intensive Ayahuasca Retreats combine the mastery of our Shipibo healers with in-depth group processing and pioneering ontological inquiry, that serves to bridge the teachings of ayahuasca with a psycho-spiritual understanding of the Western mind. Through facilitating ayahuasca healing for many thousands of guests since 2007, we have discovered complementary modalities that serve to deepen the medicine experience, help to center one’s mind and move away from the story and pain of our past, awaken to inspired new perspectives and possibilities, and, most importantly, help bring what we learn back into our lives. While ceremonies themselves are profoundly healing, for most people, awakening is not a lasting experience, but something we need to work at to stay connected to. Integration, or the process of bringing our experiences with the medicine into our lives, is an equally important piece of the work. Our integration intensive workshops have a particular focus on deep-processing of shadow materials that arise during ayahuasca healing, releasing emotional blockages, resolving past traumas, and identifying and dismantling false core beliefs that negatively drive your view of yourself and the world around you. The group work offered in these retreats equip you with tools and a framework for inquiry into the self, increasing your understanding of your ceremony experiences and setting the stage for powerful integration once you go back into your life.
