Letters from the path

Reflections, practices, and gatherings — delivered with intention.

One thoughtful letter a month. No noise. Subscribe and we’ll send you our free guide, The Four Movements of Surrender, straight away.

About events

Retreats, trainings, and gatherings

This is where we list the retreats, trainings, and gatherings held by practitioners we know personally. Everything listed here has been reviewed by the Alliance for basic standards of care — real preparation, real aftercare, transparent pricing, and facilitators with the training their marketing claims.

We do not accept paid listings. If an event is on this page, it is because we have vetted the container and would be comfortable sending someone in our lives to it.

What to look for in a retreat

Look for clear preparation guidance sent well in advance. Look for a medical intake that actually reads your answers. Look for aftercare that is included in the price, not sold as an upsell. Look for a group size the facilitators can genuinely hold. And look for the words 'no' and 'not for you' somewhere in their materials — a retreat that turns some applicants away is usually safer than one that takes everyone.

Questions worth asking before you book

How many participants and how many facilitators will be in the room? What is the medical intake process, and who reviews it? What happens if I have a difficult night — who is with me, and what is the plan? What does aftercare actually look like, and for how long? What kinds of people do you turn away, and why? What lineage or training does the facilitator come from, and how long have they been holding ceremonies of this size?

You are not being difficult by asking. A container worth trusting welcomes these questions and answers them in specifics rather than reassurances. If the answers come back vague, mystical, or defensive, take that as data.

Retreat, training, or gathering — which are you looking for?

A retreat is a container for ceremony and integration held over several days, usually at a dedicated centre. A training is a longer-arc education for people who want to work as facilitators or integration practitioners, often spanning many months. A gathering is a community event — a weekend of teachings, circles, breathwork, or meditation — without medicine at its centre. The three ask very different things of you and give very different things back. Read the description carefully, and if you are not sure which category something belongs to, write to the organisers before you book.

About our gatherings

How Alliance events are designed

Our events are the through-line between reading about integration and actually living it. They range from a free open circle you can drop into any second Monday, to multi-day retreats, breathwork sessions, facilitator trainings, and quiet evenings of ceremony-adjacent conversation with people who understand the territory.

Everything we host is built around one principle: integration happens in relationship. You can read every guide on this site and still find the work stuck without a room of other people who are moving through the same terrain.

How to choose an event

If you're new to the Alliance, our free open integration circle is the cleanest way in. It's a monthly, non-denominational sit with no application and no cost, designed for people at any point in the journey — including those who have never sat with medicine at all. You'll meet facilitators, hear how other people talk about their process, and get a real sense of the community before making any further commitment.

If you're carrying something specific — grief, a difficult ceremony experience, questions about identity, neurodivergence, or being queer in this space — one of our themed circles is worth looking at. Each one is held by facilitators with lived experience of the terrain, and the container is different from a general circle in ways that tend to matter.

If you're further along and considering deeper training or a retreat, our multi-day events and facilitator programs are described in full on their own pages. We're deliberately transparent about cost, format, prerequisites, and what each event is and isn't designed to do.

Frequently asked

Are these events free?
Some are — the open integration circle and several of the themed drop-in circles are offered free of charge. Retreats, trainings, and multi-day events are priced to cover facilitation, venue, and materials, with need-based scholarships available for most programs.
Do I have to have sat with ayahuasca to attend?
For circles: no. Most of our recurring circles welcome people who have never sat with medicine — the container is about integration and community, not about ceremony itself. Retreats and trainings have their own prerequisites, listed on each event page.
Is anything on Zoom?
Yes. Most of our recurring circles run online so people across time zones can join. In-person events are clearly labeled with location and dates.

About the Alliance

How the Ayahuasca Integration Alliance thinks about this work

The Alliance is a member-led community of facilitators, integration coaches, therapists, and long-time practitioners built around one plain idea: the ceremony is not the work. The work is what you do with the ceremony afterwards — over the weeks, months, and years in which insight either becomes a lived life or slowly evaporates. Everything we publish, every circle we hold, and every training we run is designed with that continuity in mind.

We started the Alliance because too much of the public conversation about ayahuasca stops at the door of the maloka. There are thousands of accounts of what happens inside ceremony and very little honest, sustained writing about what happens in the weeks after — the difficult passages, the ordinary aftermath, the way old patterns reassert themselves and how the people we know who actually change stay close to the material until it holds.

That's the gap this whole site tries to fill: a living map of the integration journey written by people who have walked it, reviewed by peers with clinical and lived experience, and organized so you can find the exact answer to the exact question you're carrying at whatever stage of the path you're currently on.

What integration actually looks like in practice

For most people, integration is unglamorous. It's a short morning practice — sitting, breathing, journaling — repeated on days you don't feel like it. It's one honest conversation a week with a person who can hear you without needing to fix you. It's noticing a body sensation before it becomes a mood, a mood before it becomes a story, a story before it becomes an action you'll regret. It's slow, and it's ordinary, and it works.

The people we see integrate ceremony most deeply are almost never the ones who had the most spectacular visions. They are the ones who stayed in relationship with the material during the ninety-day window when neuroplasticity is still open and old patterns haven't yet fully reasserted themselves — usually inside a community, usually with at least one trained third party, usually with practices small enough that a bad week doesn't derail them.

Everything we build — the circles, the guide, the Q&A library, the podcast, the professional directory — is designed to give you that combination of community, structure, and practice without gatekeeping or hype. You can use as much or as little of it as fits the life you're actually living.

How to use the rest of this site

If you're new here, the Integration Guide is the natural entry point. It's organized by the five stages we see most often — curious, preparing, in ceremony, integrating, and long-term practice — and each stage links out to the topic hubs, articles, Q&A answers, and podcast episodes that engage with the questions people usually bring us at that moment.

If you already know what you're looking for, the topic library and the Q&A living index are the fastest way in. Both are cross-linked to the journey stages, so you can follow a single theme — mental health, trauma, difficult experiences, relationships, ethics — sideways across every part of the map. And if you'd rather sit in a room with other people who understand the terrain, the Integration Circles page collects every recurring gathering we host, most of them free and drop-in.

For structured one-on-one support, our directory of vetted integration specialists is a good next step. For ongoing membership in the community — including access to members-only resources, private circles, and direct conversation with facilitators — the Alliance itself is where that lives. Whatever you use, please treat what you read here as context and framing, not as a substitute for personal support.
