This fascinating course provides an integrative review of ayahuasca healing, complete with case presentations and valuable tools for integration.

Dr. Joseph Tafur M.D., author of the book: The Fellowship of the River: A Medical Doctor’s Exploration into Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine
Unlike Western medicines, ayahuasca requires much more than simply drinking the medicine. From the perspectives of indigenous traditions, ayahuasca is a plant-spirit who can teach, guide and heal us. Celina takes advantage of her 16 years’ experience of drinking ayahuasca and her 7 years of apprenticing within an indigenous ayahuasca tradition to share practical knowledge about ayahuasca spirituality.
The course begins with teachings about the spiritual component of the ritual, the purge and the visions. By considering ayahuasca in comparison to the Indian traditional healing systems of Ayurveda and yoga, Celina then teaches us embodied and spiritual principles for understanding the role of spirituality in ayahuasca healing.
Ayahuasca healing can take many forms and in the second part of the course, you’ll learn about the healing journeys of several people who have overcome illnesses with the help of ayahuasca. These stories of actual people provide us with a close appreciation of how ayahuasca can intervene upon a variety of hard to treat maladies, such as addiction and depression.
Whether you are new to ayahuasca or are well seasoned in the art of ayahuasca spirituality, Celina’s course provides empowering teachings for the mind, body and soul.
