The training
A grounded, lineage-aware path toward becoming a facilitator.
This is not a weekend workshop or a content download. It is a six-month immersion designed to slowly shape you — your presence, your discernment, your capacity to sit beside another in the long, tender work of return. We weave indigenous wisdom with contemporary somatic and depth psychology, held in a small, mentored cohort.

More about the training
The Ayahuasca Integration Certification is a six-month professional training in the multidimensional art of integration — where ancient wisdom meets grounded psychological practice. It is designed for those who feel called to guide others after plant medicine experiences, or who wish to deepen their own integration path with clarity and skill.
What the Training Covers
Participants are guided through a structured curriculum combining embodied practice, trauma-informed awareness, coaching methodology, and spiritual intelligence.
The journey unfolds through live teaching, mentorship, and real integration circles, covering:
- The foundations of ceremony and post-ceremony integration
- Somatic, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of healing
- Ethics, boundaries, and the facilitator’s inner work
- Working safely with trauma and altered states
- Rituals, reflection tools, and embodiment practices for clients
Each student learns not only how to help others integrate, but also how to live integration as a way of being.
Who It’s For
This training welcomes:
- Therapists, coaches, and facilitators expanding their scope into integration work
- Retreat participants who want to understand and stabilize their own processes
- Community builders creating safe post-ceremony spaces
No prior clinical license is required, but maturity, integrity, and readiness to do personal work are essential.
A Professional Path of Integrity
Graduates receive certification from the Ayahuasca Integration Alliance, recognizing them as trained Integration Coaches capable of guiding individuals and groups through post-ceremonial processes with competence and care.
Format and Community
The program runs online over six months, with live classes, small-group practice, and optional retreats for deeper immersion. Students become part of an ongoing international community of practitioners committed to ethical, heart-centered integration work.
