Ayahuasca Integration
Ayahuasca Integration process is the most important part of this healing process, because a meaningful psychedelic experience creates a long-term positive impact.
Common questions that arise after participating in an ayahuasca ceremonies or a retreat are: How can I take home everything I have learned from my ayahuasca experience? Will I still feel the way I feel now once I face everyday life? What should I do? How can I continue my process? Therefore, perhaps the most important aspect after having an experience with Ayahuasca, is to carry out an adequate integration process of the experiences lived during the expanded states of consciousness. But, what is the integration process itself?
Psychedelic integration or integration of psychedelic experience is a relatively new method. The integration of experiences with ayahuasca is a method that draws on knowledge and techniques from the ancient Amazonian culture, integrating them with knowledge and procedures from transpersonal psychotherapy and psychedelic psychotherapy. The main objective of the method is to make experiences with ayahuasca have long-term positive effects on our lives.
Ayahuasca Integration allows you to develop a symbolic interpretation of your experience, giving meaning to the visions, sensations and emotions experienced during ceremonies, helping to know what to do with what you have experienced and showing you how to continue on your path of personal evolution.
All Ayahuasca Retreats include one preparation session online and two ayahuasca integration sessions online.

Thus, it is possible to talk deeply with each participant during all the retreat, it means that from the first moment you arrive to our house, we will have a private conversation with you with the intention to know a little bit more about you and to know how to help in the process, to know what your motivations and intentions are, and so, to be able to give you the more convenient support, directed and specially adapted to your needs.

Ayahuasca Research
The Sapan Inka Retreat Center participated in a scientific research entitled: "Psychedelic experiences of people who participated in sessions of ayahuasca therapy". The interviews used as a source of data for the research were conducted at the Sapan Inka Center for a period of 5 years. It is a qualitative research that aimed to describe and interpret the various psychological effects that participants lived during and after their experiences, in the short and long term. It is an important research in which it was concluded that the way in which people perceive and interpret their experiences is very important; because it depends on the depth and duration of the impact experienced, which occurs at different levels; encompassing the instinctive, the emotional, various cognitive processes, and the spiritual.
Ayahuasca Healers
We are a Peruvian married couple. We are psychologists and therapists. We focus our work on the integration between traditional Amazonian medicine and psycho-spiritual therapy (Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology). We are founders of the Sapan Inka Retreat Center, where Ayahuasca Retreats have been organized for more than 10 years. Our job is to advise and guide people before, during and after their experiences in ayahuasca sessions.
Our path of learning in the art of giving Ayahuasca began in the 90s. Initially we sought greater self-knowledge and possibilities of psychological and spiritual growth, we wanted to heal ourselves and to be able to grow and mature spiritually. Eventually we were assuming ever more commitment to our work, and over time we developed a technique or therapeutic method that integrates the traditional uses of ayahuasca medicine and certain knowledge and techniques from contemporary psychotherapy. We currently organize 5 and 6 days Ayahuasca Retreats, where it is possible to be part of a consciousness exploration journey and a discovery of the spiritual dimension.
Ayahuasca Integration Sessions Online
It is a kind of support for those who have participated in ayahuasca ceremonies. Emotional, psychological and spiritual support. Integration is a process where you, together with the psychotherapist, will discover the meaning of your experience and you will learn how to integrate your experience in a positive way into your daily life.
This process requires management of skills and techniques with the intention to interpret the symbolical contents lived during and after an experience in an ayahuasca ceremony; then assimilating and integrating into the field of consciousness the contents and insights emerged during expanded states of consciousness; and later, assimilating and understanding a possible catharsis lived during the journey to the world of ayahuasca, since some experiences that are not properly interpreted and integrated could lead to confusion, triggering possible psychological or emotional disorder or physical illness.
