Founder, Ayahuasca Integration Alliance
FacilitatorIntegration TeacherPodcast Host
David Vox is the founder of the Ayahuasca Integration Alliance, a global community and resource hub for people walking the path of integration after working with ayahuasca and other plant medicines.
He has spent more than a decade sitting with the medicine, training with facilitators across lineages, and holding integration circles online and in person. His work centers on what happens *after* the ceremony — the slow, honest, often unglamorous work of letting the medicine actually change a life.
David hosts the Ayahuasca Integration Podcast, teaches on the Alliance's Facilitator Training, and leads the yearly Ayahuasca Integration Retreat. He writes and teaches with one commitment: integrity over hype.
