Ten Years with Ayahuasca: Lessons from a Decade of Healing Part 1

What can happen when you walk with Ayahuasca for ten years?In this Ayahuasca Integration Podcast series, I look back on a decade of ceremonies, healing, and integration — sharing the most powerful gifts and hardest challenges this sacred medicine has brought into my life.I speak about the early years of fear and resistance, the nights of deep purging and release, and the moment joy finally returned to my body after years of trauma. This is not a story about escape or visions; it’s about integration — the long, grounded process of turning mystical experiences into real change, peace, and creativity in daily life.Whether you’re preparing for your first Ayahuasca retreat, in the middle of an integration process, or simply curious about what long-term work with the plant can open inside a human being, this episode offers a raw and honest reflection.We explore:– Ayahuasca integration after ceremony and how it evolves over time– The importance of trauma-informed facilitation and safe ceremony spaces– How sound, song, and traditional healing tools help release emotion– The return of joy and the awakening of the inner child after deep healing– What “living in integration” looks like years after the retreat is overTen years, more than a hundred ceremonies, and one ongoing conversation with a teacher older than time.If you’re walking the path of Ayahuasca, plant medicine, or spiritual integration, may this story remind you that healing doesn’t end when the ceremony closes — it begins there.Connect & Learn MoreTo explore more on Ayahuasca integration, visit🌿 ayahuascaintegration.org — the home of the Ayahuasca Integration Alliance and the Ayahuasca Integration Podcast.You can also find more about my personal work and upcoming programs at💫 davidvox.comFollow and connect:📺 YouTube: @Ayahuasca-Integration📘 Facebook: Ayahuasca Integration Alliance📸 Instagram: @davidvoxTwice a year, we host a 6-month Sacred Integration Facilitator Training, guided by a medicine carrier, a psychologist, and myself.This program is created for facilitators and space-holders who want to master the art of Ayahuasca integration and bring this work forward with safety, depth, and respect for tradition.Learn more and apply at ayahuascaintegration.org or davidvox.com.
