The Way Inn Lodge

erm meditator, his intention was always to eventually turn the lodge into a retreat centre, although at that time he had never even heard of the powerful entheogen teacher plants of Ayahuasca or San Pedro. That all changed in late 2005 when the first ayahuasca ceremony was held at the lodge. Thereafter, Alex spent two years studying and working extensively with Huachuma/San Pedro at the lodge, in the quiet periods between looking after guests, teaching paragliding and guiding both trekking and mountain biking trips. In 2007 Alex started splitting his time between the mountains and the jungle, where he did his dietas and studied under several shamen, establishing the Temple of the Way of Light in 2008 with Mathew Waltherston. Since 2011, The Way Inn has dedicated itself to being a shamanic centre focused upon working with the Master Teacher Plants for the sole purpose of raising consciousness by the most accelerated route available to humanity at this time. To this end the plant teachers are used in conjunction with teachings to aid individuals grow and so aid the collective human consciousness ascend.

2015 will be a year of growth at The Way Inn. Whilst Ayahuasca will remain the core of the healing work, dedicated retreats built around San Pedro – the ‘planta maestra’ of the Andean mountain shamans – will be offered. Furthermore, we will expand our research activities into the integration of shamanic teacher-healer plants into wider healing practices, including the treatment of conditions which plight Western societies such as cancer and various additions.
