Temple of the Way of Light

Temple of the Way of Light offers 8-day and 12-day residential retreats (and longer plant-dieta programs via a partner) in the Amazon rainforest near Iquitos, Peru, for up to 24 guests per retreat. Ceremonies are led by a team of Shipibo-Conibo healers alongside Western, trauma-informed facilitators trained in approaches including IFS, Somatic Experiencing, and Hakomi.

The centre publishes a detailed safety page describing a medical screening process developed with the harm-reduction organisation ICEERS and reviewed by an off-site doctor and psychologist — the site states roughly 70% of applicants are accepted, implying genuine screening rather than a formality. The published emergency protocol is unusually detailed: an onsite nurse, first-aid-trained staff, an AED, a contracted private clinic in Iquitos, and a stated 30–45 minute evacuation process by river and road to hospital care.

Published pricing is roughly USD $2,960–$5,700 (approx. A$4,129–A$7,952*) depending on program length.
