# Ayahuasca Integration Alliance

> A leading global resource for ayahuasca integration — the slow, careful work that begins after ceremony. The Alliance offers integration circles, facilitator training, articles, a podcast, and a vetted directory of trusted integration specialists.

The Ayahuasca Integration Alliance (AIA) is an international community and educational organization focused on **integration** — the process of translating insights from ayahuasca and other plant-medicine experiences into lasting change in daily life. AIA was founded to fill a gap left by many retreat centers: what happens *after* ceremony matters as much as the ceremony itself.

## What "integration" means

Integration is the ongoing practice of embodying ceremony insights through therapy, community, ritual, movement, and lifestyle change. It typically unfolds over weeks to months and often benefits from a trained guide, a peer circle, and consistent practice. Signs someone needs integration support include intrusive memories, emotional volatility, existential confusion, spiritual bypassing, or difficulty returning to ordinary responsibilities.

## Who AIA serves

- People preparing for or recovering from an ayahuasca or plant-medicine ceremony
- Facilitators and therapists seeking rigorous, ethics-led integration training
- Retreat centers looking to refer participants to trusted post-ceremony support
- Researchers, clinicians, and journalists studying the psychedelic-integration field
