Ayahuasca Integration
Healing through psychotherapy, creative processes, and ancestral wisdom so that what you live in ceremony can gently become part of your daily life.
Integration is the bridge between the visions of the night and the way you walk in the world.
Integrating the Sacred Into Daily Life
At Takinuna Healing Centre, Ayahuasca integration is the bridge between the sacred world of the plants and the life we return to. Healing becomes complete when the experiences from the ceremonies are understood, grounded, and expressed with consciousness.
Every retreat includes professional psychological support and ancestral guidance from our shamans, who together help you make sense of the visions, emotions, and lessons received from the medicine.
This process of ayahuasca integration helps participants bring spiritual insights into everyday life.
A Unique Ayahuasca Integration Approach
Psychologist and Amazonian Shamans Working Together
Our ayahuasca integration process is designed to help you ground what you receive in ceremony — translating visions, emotions, and insights into embodied change in your daily life.
Integration at Takinuna is not an optional add-on. It is woven into every retreat, where the language of the plants and the language of the psyche meet in a safe, held space.
Florencia Ferrari — Psychological Integration Lead
Licensed Clinical Psychologist · MA Art Psychotherapy (Roehampton University, UK)
Florencia supports participants in deepening what the medicine reveals: old wounds, relationship patterns, intense emotions, memories, visions, and new understandings about their life path.
Her approach weaves clinical psychology, art psychotherapy, and her ongoing training in traditional Amazonian plant medicine, building a respectful bridge between science, soul, and the forest.
- A safe space to process difficult emotions before and after each ceremony.
- Support to integrate your experience into relationships, work, and life purpose.
- Optional online follow-up sessions after the retreat if you wish to continue the process.
Our Integration Pathways
This approach to integration after ayahuasca blends psychotherapy, art therapy, and ecotherapy, offering a multidimensional healing experience.
Our integration process combines psychology, art, and ecology to help you embody and express the wisdom of the medicine in daily life.
Professional Psychological Support for Ayahuasca Integration
Integration unfolds mainly through group sharing circles, where participants reflect on their experiences and receive both psychological and ancestral insight. When needed, individual guidance is also available, ensuring that everyone feels supported throughout their process.
Art Psychotherapy — Integrating the Ayahuasca Visionary Language
As Ayahuasca often speaks through visions and symbols, art therapy invites you to paint and work with this visual language, helping emotions and insights take form and meaning. Art becomes another kind of medicine — intuitive and deeply healing.
Nature-Based Therapy — Ecotherapy for Post-Ayahuasca Integration
Florencia also holds postgraduate training in Environmental Art Psychotherapy, a nature-based therapeutic approach that bridges creativity and ecological awareness. While this work will be developed further as we create dedicated spaces in nature, its spirit already inspires our integration process.
A Multidisciplinary and Ancestral Path of Healing
We bring together traditional plant medicine, professional psychotherapy, and creative/ecological practices so that insight becomes transformation and vision becomes a grounded way of living.
- Traditional plant medicine led by native shamans.
- Professional psychological guidance with a licensed and experienced psychotherapist.
- Creative art therapy and ecotherapy as complementary healing tools.
During integration, the shamans share their interpretations of visions and energetic processes, offering ancestral understanding that complements the psychologist’s therapeutic perspective.
This respectful exchange allows each participant to receive guidance from both the spiritual and psychological worlds, leading to profound and complete healing.
Art Psychotherapy
Giving Form to the Visionary Language of Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca often speaks through images, colors, and symbols. This visual language expresses what words cannot. Through art therapy, participants are invited to explore this language creatively, translating visions and emotions into form through painting, drawing, collage, or intuitive expression.
This is not about artistic skill, but about presence and self-discovery — allowing the inner world to flow into color and shape. In this sacred act of creation, emotions find release, insights take root, and the unconscious gently meets awareness.
Florencia accompanies this process with attentive listening and deep care, offering a safe and supportive space where creativity becomes healing. Art therapy at Takinuna often reveals meaningful messages, helps process experiences non-verbally, and leaves a lasting symbol of transformation to carry home after the retreat.
Nature-based Therapy
In the rainforest, nature is not a background — it is a presence, a teacher, and a healer. Through ecotherapy, participants are invited to reconnect with the natural world as a mirror for their own healing.
Mindful walks in the forest, barefoot grounding, quiet observation of the river, or meditative connection with a tree all become ways to listen to the wisdom of the earth.
This approach is rooted in Florencia’s Environmental Art Psychotherapy training. It recognizes that the human inner-self and nature are intertwined. The rainforest itself offers calm, clarity, and grounding — reminding us that healing continues through relationship with the living world.
Ecotherapy helps you return to your body, regulate your nervous system, and embody the teachings of the plants — allowing understanding to move from the mind into lived experience.
Our Commitment to You
Integration is the heart of our work — a bridge between ceremony and life. At Takinuna, you are supported emotionally, spiritually, and therapeutically so the teachings of the plants become embodied wisdom — not just a memory.
