Review of 12-Day Ayahuasca Retreat - Feeling Lost and Overwhelmed - LA

 

LA shares a review of her experience after attending a 12-Day Ayahuasca Retreat at the Temple and receiving healing for chronic feelings of being overwhelmed and lost in life. Underpinning the Temple’s work is our vision for the incredible mastery of indigenous healers to be respected, legitimized, and honored in the modern world. We aim to cultivate a richer understanding in the West of the Shipibo system of shamanic healthcare and substantiate the efficacy of their ethno-medical traditions. Indigenous healers have a system of sacred science that has evolved over hundreds coming from a profound relationship with and understanding of hundreds of medicinal plants and trees. In the Shipibo tradition, it takes typically six to ten years to become a fully "qualified" and authorized healer, after an arduous and highly challenging apprenticeship that could be considered a parallel to Western medical school in terms of the level of commitment, energy and time that is required to complete the education. By studying in the "spirit-assisted" rainforest medical school, Shipibo healers are able to take ayahuasca healing to an incredibly deep level, reaching to the roots of pain and discomfort. This level of healing is not possible when drinking ayahuasca alone and without the vast array of plant spirit medicines, energetic surgical procedures, protection and overall shamanic mastery of a trained healer.
