SOMATIC PSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION MENTORSHIP 9-MONTH PROGRAM WITH ATIRA TAN
In a time of rapid awakening and transformation, this mentorship offers a sacred container to support your embodied integration. Rooted in somatic therapy, inner directed healing, trauma-informed facilitation, and deep respect for plant teachers, this 9-month journey invites you to align your life and work with your inner knowing — and walk with heart-centered presence in your community and practice.
This mentorship program includes rich bonus content and advanced teachings in psychedelic integration. You’ll be supported to deepen your understanding of how to work with complex trauma imprints — including histories of abuse and neglect — through a compassionate, embodied lens.
The program also explores the therapeutic use of creative expression and art-based practices in integration, group facilitation skills, and offers in-depth guidance in anchoring a solid foundation in the Somatic Inquiry Model.
Through our small pods and intimate circle, you will have personalised attention with Atira, addressing specific needs and challenges in your work as a plant medicine integration practitioner. You will forge stronger connections with both mentors and peers, fostering a supportive, safe and collaborative learning environment. This will enhance your engagement, and amplify your contribution with your peers, and engage meaningfully with the content.
Each month, we will dive into a unique theme, supporting you to embody key trauma-informed principles taught in the trauma-informed plant medicine program.

Testimonials:
"Wow!! Thank you so much Atira!!!!! I just want to say thank you for holding space for such an incredible informational experience in this Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Workshop. I feel that I have SO many resources now to draw upon now.
You are filled with experience and hold such beautiful. vibrant energy that is powerful, but also open and level with the people you work within such a way that it is easy to feel safe, and seen in your presence! True magic!"
– Molly Moon
Grandmother Facilitator, Isreal.
"This TIPM workshop’s deep dive into the realms of living impeccable service was nothing short of life-changing.
I remembered so much about the nervous system, about my life, about my purpose, about the bridges between paradigms, and the collective trauma on the Earth. I was deeply warmed, inspired, challenged, and excited by the entire experience.
Atira transmits genuine, care, curiosity, understanding, and expertise. She is devoted to providing safe spaces for people to heal and her life’s work is testimony to her wisdom and character.
If you’re curious to learn about the nature of trauma and how to access and support its healing potential, this body of work is well worth opening your heart and mind to."
– Melanie Gunn
Naturopath and Transpersonal Art Therapist, Australia
"I’m super grateful for this unique program. Atira’s extensive knowledge on the subject of trauma and working within the PM context has been immensely beneficial. I’ve gained a deeper sense of how to hold the container of healing, which in turn, opens doors for journeyers to be met with more compassion, understanding, and safety to move through their process.
This program is essential for anyone supporting or facilitating PM ceremonies and the process of preparation and integration."
– Simone McKay
Somah Journeys Founder, Canada
"I just came out of the 1st Trauma-informed Plant Medicine Facilitation online training with Atira Tan from Aya Healing Retreats and wow!!
I cannot recommend this training enough for anyone working in the PM space – whether you are pouring medicine, a supporter/facilitator, a pre or post-ceremonial integration specialist, or even a student of the plants.
In fact, I feel that this should be a basic foundational training (alongside 1st Aid) for all healers and support staff.
As the medicine continues to gain momentum in its spread across the globe- we are beginning to see and hear more and more stories of harm from its unskilful use, the lack of quality screening and preparation beforehand, the lack of integration support afterward, and/or the limited understanding of trauma activation and re-traumatization during retreats and ceremonies.
I feel that, in addition to traditional training, this community would benefit hugely from having facilitators and spaces rooted in a basic understanding of the nervous system and how to work skillfully with trauma survivors (and of course, how to work with our own trauma when it shows up in these spaces).
I personally feel that Atira is an excellent bridge and guide into the intersectional realms of plant medicine and trauma therapy."
– Skye Cielita Flor
Wilderness Therapist, South Africa
"My mind and heart are in deep amazement and gratitude as I apply all that I learned in the Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine workshop.
Now more than ever, the world is in need of people who have the ability to listen and hold open space, as the entire human population is currently undergoing a traumatic event. This course is filled with gems of how to meet and support those who are intensely impacted by trauma at any stage of life. I highly recommend this course/workshop, not only to those who are interested in the relationship between trauma and plant medicine but anyone who is curious about understanding human relational patterns to self and society.
Atira shares in-depth knowledge and expertise of trauma studies while offering takeaways that are applicable for ceremonies, friendships, and even for common conversations during the COVID time. Atira and Elio’s work is much needed in the world.
– Betty Gottwald
Photographer & Kambo Facilitator, USA.
"If you are ready to engage in serious trauma healing work, Atira is the practitioner to go for. Her own genuine humanness consistently lived and embodied, and her outstandingly compassionate nature creates a strong and safe therapeutic container that cannot be surpassed.
After a search for decades for the right trauma therapist, all thumbs up for her, as the healing and transformation, I’ve been looking for has finally become real!"
