Nadira Kaimova
Bridging Ancestral Wisdom and Clinical Practice in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
Nadira Kaimova is a psychedelic-assisted therapy facilitator certified in Canada and the founder of Avanza Retreats in Colombia and Mexico. She is a descendant of a family of ancestral healers and serves as a bridge between modern clinical frameworks and ceremonial, shamanic healing traditions. She guides psychedelic work with respect, reciprocity, ethical responsibility, and integration.
This session explores the distinct strengths and limitations of ancestral, ceremonial, and clinical approaches. We examine what each offers, including ritual, respect, and reciprocity versus structure, safety, and evidence-based frameworks. The session highlights how preparation, experience, and integration can honor both, supporting ethical, transformative, and grounded experiences.
