Ayahuasca Integration at Takinuna: Psychotherapy, Art & Nature
At Takinuna, we understand that drinking Ayahuasca is the beginning of a much deeper journey.
What truly transforms lives is not just the vision, but how you walk with it afterward.
That’s why our integration approach blends psychotherapy, art therapy, and ecotherapy — creating a space where your experiences can be understood, embodied, and grounded in daily life.
Why Ayahuasca Integration Is Essential for True Healing
Ayahuasca can reveal deep truths, awaken inner wisdom, and initiate powerful emotional and spiritual healing.
But without integration, these revelations can remain ungrounded — difficult to understand, embody, or apply.
At Takinuna, we guide you to make meaning of your experiences, helping you process and root them into your daily life, so the healing continues long after the ceremony ends.
Our Integration Pathways
Psychotherapy with Ayahuasca
Grounding the visionary experience through ayahuasca integration.
Our experienced psychotherapist helps you process visions, emotional releases, and unconscious material through integration sessions. Psychotherapy transforms insight into self-understanding and clarity.
Art Therapy in Integration
When Words aren’t enough, art and creativity can help in integrating profound experiences.
Art allows what can’t be spoken to find form. Through painting and creative expression, the energy of the ceremony continues to speak — often more clearly for mind to understand.
Ecotherapy in Integration
Healing with the rainforest involves integrating insights revealed during ayahuasca experiences.
Nature is part of the medicine. Ecotherapy reconnects you with the earth through meditative walks and nature-based practices, helping your body and spirit stay grounded.
Why Is Integration Important After Ayahuasca?
Integration is essential for transforming the insights gained during Ayahuasca ceremonies into lasting healing. It helps:
- Prevent re-traumatization by giving emotional context and meaning to the visions or revelations that arise.
- Anchor the experience into psychological understanding and everyday life, ensuring the journey continues beyond the ceremony.
- Promote compassionate self-reflection, allowing participants to meet themselves with empathy rather than judgment.
- Facilitate meaningful life changes, turning deep inner shifts into practical changes through guided integration practices like therapy, creative expression, and nature-based reflection.
Psychotherapy
Grounding the visionary experience through depth-oriented integration
At Takinuna, psychotherapy is more than emotional support — it’s a tool for inner exploration and transformation.
Our psychotherapeutic approach is rooted in Jungian psychology, which views the individual as a whole being made of both conscious and unconscious parts. Ayahuasca often brings forth material from the unconscious — archetypes, inner wounds, shadow elements, ancestral memories — and psychotherapy provides the space to explore these visions, dreams, and symbols with clarity and depth.
Working with a trained therapist, you are gently guided to make sense of your experience, understand its personal meaning, and integrate it into your emotional and spiritual growth.
The goal is not to analyze the medicine, but to honour what it reveals, allowing your psyche to heal through presence, reflection, and connection.
Art Therapy
Creativity bridges the gap between feeling and understanding
Ayahuasca ceremonies can leave us with powerful images, feelings, or sensations that are difficult to express verbally. Art therapy provides a bridge between the visionary and the tangible.
Through painting, drawing, collage or intuitive creative work, you can give form to what was felt — or seen — during the ceremonies. This is not about artistic skill, but about allowing your inner landscape to manifest in color and shape. The process of creating becomes a sacred act of integration, inviting the unconscious into conscious awareness.
Art therapy at Takinuna often reveals what was hidden, helps process trauma non-verbally, and provides a lasting symbol of healing that stays with you after your retreat.
Ecotherapy
Nature as a co-therapist
The rainforest itself is a teacher and a healer.
Through ecotherapy — also known as nature-based therapy — you are invited to reconnect with the natural world as a mirror for your own healing. This may include mindful forest walks, barefoot grounding practices, silent observation of river movement, or connecting with a tree in meditation.
In Amazonian tradition, nature is alive and sacred. It is not only the setting for healing, but a participant in it. Through intentional time spent in nature, many participants discover that the plants continue to speak outside the ceremony, offering calm, clarity, and grounding.
Ecotherapy helps you return to your body, regulate your nervous system, and embody the messages received during ceremonies, not just understand them mentally.

We honor the medicine by walking alongside you through every step of your journey.
With the wisdom of ancestral traditions and the support of modern therapeutic practices, we offer a safe and nurturing space where your transformation can unfold with depth, care, and clarity.
