The Temple of the Way of Light is a healing center in Peru focused on helping guests find new paths towards optimal health using ayahuasca retreats. They have helped thousands of people find new hope on their journey to wellness since opening in 2007, further proving why the future of psychedelics looks promising.
The team at Temple of the Way of Light utilizes shamanic healing in their retreats and prides themselves on inspiring guests towards new levels of self-awakening, self-reflection, and self-transformation. The center’s healing retreats are led by indigenous women healers who operate under the traditional medical healing of the Shipibo people. They provide a safe and effective experience to help guests lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
The experienced staff at the healing center are there to support guests during the ceremony, so even if a guest has a bad trip, there may still be major benefits. More importantly, the staff provides guidance should this happen.
