I was trafficked as a child. Horribly used and abused. In 1992 I met 2 Medicine Men from South Dakota who were running a Sweat Lodge and a all night tepee ceremony. I was not part of their group but was invited to participate. I had no idea they were Peyote Carriers. The Sweat was HOT-40 rocks thro 4 rounds. I saw such visions and had no idea why! I thought 40 rocks had fried my brains. They invited me to travel with them for 8 days all of which they gave me copious amounts of Peyote. What I saw. What I felt! A whole new dimension to living opened me up in such deep and beautiful ways.This was 1992 and I credit much of my incredible healing to this experience. I find Ayahuasca calling my name. I know it would be super difficult past my 50+ sexual assaults and beatings and child apprehension and addictions etc....I am clear 15 years now from drugs. My adult broken children returned to me. I am safe now and sound as can be. The journey with plant medicine is so needed for so many! I am very poor. I cannot even afford dentures at moment and have broken smile. I live on very small disability pension..I believe Ayahuasca will find me and present in a way I can afford. Please never give up..There is so much we have yet to understand. Source is so loving! Have a great day folks!
The need to heal others is often an avoidance of healing yourself. The ego is also wrapped up in the need to talk. Silence and self reflection take great strength.
The maestros and maestras at the Temple of the Way of light saved my life. If you feel the plant is calling you, then go. It is that simple. The work is tougher than anything you can ever imagine but the rewards are not of this world. I would continue to work with the Medicine even if it was 100 times harder. There really is nothing like it but it demands tremendous dedication to your healing process.
Following my own profound healing experience with ayahuasca I feel an even greater appreciation for nature than I had before. I’m sickened and saddened by the destruction we’re doing to our planet. We need to realize that we are a part of nature . As we destroy ecosystems like the rainforest we’re slowly killing ourselves.
Gabor, I don't know if you read these comments. I met you twice this month at your talks in Toronto. The Parenting one I only attended Friday night. I was following your trip to Peru, (I had wanted to attend, & have met one person who did), so I hoped for a message from you, so thank you for putting it up. Your message here is fresh from the ceremonies & it conveys the importance and relevance of this medicine to healing and the importance of the tradition and protection provided by experienced traditional healers. I am a mom who survived the suicide of her 19 year old son. A 7 year journey to wholeness, acceptance, forgiveness and Love. The ceremonies provide for physical and energetic release of pain & trauma and a discovery of "something in here that I only intuitively and intellectually knew existed". (That was well said). It busts your heart wide open.(I could see that on your face as you said those words). Lots of things exist within our hearts & our energetic field and we cannot even fathom the dimension of it. The plant creates moments of connection to universal energy that is a connection to every living person, animal, plant, the earth, the universe. It is profound, enlightening, calming and intelligence all at once. It is truly what we call Love in the purest form. Integration back into our life after knowledge and experience is a challenge of mental gymnastics. It brings you closer to your authentic self & operating from a more heart based place, an energetic place. Your brain doesn't really get it and integration has a lot of lovefest to the brain going on. I'm excited and hopeful as this powerful medicine and it's healers are coming into our lives. Our society is so lost in health, emotional and spiritual wellness, we are losing many youth to suicide, mental health issues, physical & emotional pain. I support and continue my journey with ayahuasca and spiritual healer, healthy food, body & and open heart. There is much to be done. As we each heal we help heal our families and our ancestors. We connect to each other in a more profound and genuine way. Thank you Gabor Mate for your many years of work and for your spotlight on plant medicine. Ram Dass said it best "We are all just walking each other home". And to the Grandmother plant Ayahuasca for her teaching and healing. To those who hold the sacred space for Grandmother. Aho.
The humility and honesty Gabor is sharing with us, makes me respect him more. Thank you Gabor, Thank you, Medicine, Maestra / Maestro, Thank you to this center and the one who made this video to share this experience.
So basically what you are saying is modern medicine is finally tapping into something every educated alternative healer and metapysician have known since the days of gnosticism. You sir are the pioneer of a profound allopathic medical break through. Keep up the good fight Gabor. My father, prisoner 9555, survivor of Auschwitz, became a medical doctor and accomplished scholar of metaphysics. He would have been so happy to hear your words!
So cool to see someone of Dr. Mate's intellectual caliber be so...vulnerable?....reflective?.....awed? "Every human Being deserves that Peace." AMEN, man!
"THE VALUE IS IN THE EXPERIENCE OF ONESELF" - That was DEEP! Beyond what words can express - as I am presently preparing myself for my first ayahuasca experience just a month from today - 4 years after I ever heard of its existence, when I "accidentally" bought a book called " The Cosmic Serpent", by Jeremy Narby while searching for books on personal development. So many synchronicities at play...
9:10 I am more than my traumas. My energy matters. 14:11: Unworthiness trance: I am worth the attention, or the relaxation and joy. Integrity is walking the talk: what we say to others is for us to hear. And. Do. I wish I could hear what he had to say after those 5 days focusing on himself solely. Respect to this courageous man facing his own resistances. This vulnerable share is very inspiring, thank you for sharing Dr. Gabor Maté's insights.
Dr. Gabor Mate is amazing, such insight of human nature. Spinoza a 17th century philosopher understood human nature in respect to the mind and his/her emotions. I have learned that pain and suffering is caused by confused thinking and the belief in freewill and free-choice is an illusion. As Dr. Mate explains that we are traumatized early, we carry this throughout our lives, where is the freewill in this? Strength is improving our understanding, knowing oneself. WayofSpinoza.com
The true lesson of ayahuasca in its proper context is that NATURE HEALS. That's why it ought to be used only in the place where it grows--the rainforests of Amazonia. The egos of modern people are so blocked from Nature's wonders that they really need to experience ayahuasca in the forest with indigenous guides. Those guides never separated themselves from Nature. They have what we don't have or if we have it we need to become aware of it. Nature is there to teach us as it taught our ancestors over thousands of generations, before we divorced ourselves from Her with too much of the wrong sort of rationalism.
Or maybe, Aaron, like his father Gabor, has a brilliant, clear and honest mind. My heart cries and sings with you both and all who have the experience and knowledge he shares with us here. "Working" through the pain is not an understatement. It takes commitment, integrity and courage. Even if you have to start the process alone, you will be guided to those who can help you learn how to reconnect with yourself. I'm really grateful Dr. Mate was able to spend his time at the Temple of the Way of Light before COVID but you don't need to travel or have money to find this kind of healing, and we all need it. Check out his many other videos on how to begin. I am just so thankful that I, and so many others have not had to wait for him to have a complete experiential understanding for his own work to have changed our lives and how we think about our relationships with ourselves and with others. There is no official starting or ending place. It starts wherever you find yourself, and it continues wherever you find yourself and there is no end, until there is, and maybe not even then.
Thank you Dr. Gabor Maté for the beautiful insight into your experience at the Temple. You're evidently inspired that morning and I wish that this emotional presence will accompany you in your life and in the amazing work that you've been doing all these years. It is such a joy to see again the maestro and maestras that were there for me, guiding me during those long magical nights at the maloca. Respect and love to all of you.
I love GB. If any of you haven’t seen his TH-cam interview with Russell Brand, I suggest it. Couple of very intelligent people, having a wonderful conversation.
Ditto. Gabor you have brought incredible insight and enlightenment through your Hungry Realms... book. Thank you. It’s a joy to see you have this experience!
I am so happy to hear of your profound experience. You look different. Wishing you so much peace, Dr. Mate. You have given so much to the world, to people, and it seems that you have had an experience that equals the caring and healing of others that you have given to so many.
You are so amazing Dr. Gabor, I am so excited and will one day come to the Temple to do my own work with you as my guide. Thank you for what you do to help all of us.

Gabor, I'm so very happy for you. I've seen much of you, mostly on TH-cam videos, but a great many of them. Never before, to me, have you looked and seemed more RELAXED and humble. This message, as always, resonates very much with me. Thanks for sharing this.
Ever since I discovered you, dear Dr Mate, I resonate with the profoundness of your message, but then when I knew you used Ayahuasca to heal I considered you a true teacher of teachers. Listening to you today, talking with this openess of heart, I know you are a brother to those who are lucky enough to be touched by your words
Awww...75 yrs old!...& the damage inside....deserve peace”.....(ditto, 65 & still struggling w the damage and seeking peace )... Gabor!...there is No one above you (human)...u sooo Describe us “damaged” from childhood....there actually r no words to describe the Guru human leader u r....& this video Rocks!...😘😘💪😇💖😇
Well done Gabor. You often talk about your own imperfections when you speak publicly but I've never heard you talk about the love of your own humanity. So beautiful to hear your experience and so amazing that you're leading again, as ever, but now from your heartfelt core. Thank you for being the example.
Thanks so much for sharing. I've had perhaps a milder version of the experience with psilocybin truffles and the practice of Tai Chi Chuan. It is true that every human being's birth right is to experience this encounter with ones self. In your case it took 75 years for me is more like 40, but better late than never and it's a tragedy that some never have it. All the best!
Thank you Gabor for sharing...have always valued your wisdom and so pleased that you are taking care of yourself...and forever growing and discovering the wonder of life in all its splendour...such a beautiful and captivating adventure...and so much more to look forward to...
So resonating and regenerative of the experience...and way of being. Delving then intentional action through our own deep natures’ action. My journey to TOTWL (taught well :) started the moment I signed up in November and began preparations (though at 54, I was ‘ready’) for retreat in April. I even started to connect with the energy of my houseplants. I gained nourishment solely from plants. So much else. Then finally being with the maestros their ikaros, the talented facilitators, and above all shared compassion amongst our group only highlighted and reinforced the journey through the dark to light. The embers of the plant medicine that even now 7 months later remain available to me and who and how I am. Thank you Dr. Gabór for all your teachings and shared learnings. Thank you people and plants of Perú.
Thank You for sharing your experience , Brings back beautiful memories of my times at the Temple . the perfect place for Healing . The fires lit again . XX
My goodness Brother Gabor, what you have just shared is truly heart warming, inspiring and so utterly profound! You have touched on so many keep points that are critical in order for one to be truly free and at peace of ones unresolved and unmet needs. I too have found through two 12 day visits at The Temple of the Way of Light that upon returning home that a continued question I need to ask myself is " Am I in alignment with my intentions? Am I walking that talk?" And further as you do beautifully spoke about, if not, what am I going to do to clean that up? Wishing you so much peace, healing, expansion on your path to your most gloriousness!🙏🏼❤️🦋🌹

Thank you Temple, and thank you Dr Mate for opening up your personal experience. There is always something to be learned from listening to you. I admire what you have achieved in the world immensely. And yes, you do deserve peace.
I’m planning on going to the temple in February. Dr. Mate was part of the reason I turned to ayahuasca for emotional healing and that was one of the best decisions of my life. I want the authentic experience to release the things I haven’t yet been able to release yet. I’m so grateful to you and the temple for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
Oh how exciting! All the best on your journey there. I have nothing but positive things to say about ayahuasca and The Temple of the Way of Light. I did two 12 day retreats there. Now, go and soar.
@@joelmasantos879 a slow reply but yes, it helped me recover from my anxiety and depression. I don’t know how I could have handled the pandemic lockdowns if I had to carry my old anxiety.
Thank you Gabor!!! I finished my second ayahausca retreat a month or 2 ago, it was extremely powerful and I healed so much! I was told by the other participants that I helped them a lot which surprised me! I've been processing the experience daily! Your experience (thank you) helped me understand so much more about what I've been trying to grasp about my experience! Thank you so much!
I found something in here. Yes. What a wonderous revelation after all this work. Cheers, that's damn good on you at 75 brother, I hope more and more of us can get there in coming times and this helps something fierce, so thank you Gabor Mate!
Gabor is such a wise spirit and I love listening to him share his journey with aya. I would love to visit the temple and add this experience to my own practice ... If working with aya is not accessible for you I would highly recommend developing your own spiritual and meditation practice .. immerse yourself in it and attend retreats. Meditation and yoga have literally saved my life.. it has helped with my depression and anxiety and also has allowed me to connect more deeply with people.. especially Insight Dialogue meditation. What he has said here resonates with what I have experienced through mindfulness... may all beings live in peace..
Of course you were the one who needed to be led. All healers need to be led. Through our leadership we also heal, it's something else ... Thank you for being honest, Gabor, and thank you for offering this work, Temple of the way of Light.
I really like your review. I am thinking of going and have been thinking for quite a few years now so this is very good as a motivational video. Thank you.
Hi Susan. I hope this finds you well. That truly is a sign , thinking about going for years, that Aya is calling you. It is not a path for everyone but for those who resonate to plant intelligence, the yields, insights , are profound. I've only been to The Temple of the Way of Light and both 12 day retreats were jaw dropping brilliant on so many levels! I wouldn't have one complaint. You are so well taken care of , again on all levels. Most importantly, you need to feel safe and I always did If you are going alone and concerned being a female, all I can say is, honor that concern, but you'll be very fine. Book your flight, local flights too {separately though}. Make a reservation before hand so you'll be picked up upon arrival at the airport and taken to your hotel. The retreat will handle picking you up and all the transfers. You'll be well taken care of. Please dont hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Wishing you well
A heartfelt inspiration at this delicate and precious time for all, oodles of respect, gratitude and love to you Gabor and especially to the Temple of the Way of Light for the offerings, service and process to guide us forth
That's exactly what I thought at the beginning.......that you DESERVE this. I'm so happy for you. You are a gem to so many. You are so appreciated and cherished by those you have touched with your gifts. May you continue to heal, Gabor.
Hallelujah, congratulations and I'm really happy for you! Aya said to me, Oh you want to help others, better learn to love all of yourself first otherwise you can't. It took me a bit to figure it out in an unconditional way but once I found it, that was it. Is like everything now is transforming before my eyes. Hard to believe that something that simple can be so hard to understand and do. Amazing!
It takes a lot of courage and trust to take part in the ceremonies. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough but you certainly are. I feel so happy that you made such significant discoveries in the process.
Love this. It was an earlier interview with Dr. Maté that gave me the courage to go here in 2015, and also meeting him at a book signing and talking about it. It took me 25 years to decide to go. It was worth it. I felt safe here, and need to go back for more work.
I have learned from my experience being a caregiver for my son, and suffering genetically with him, that the caregiver can overlook their own needs and it is of the utmost importance to address this!! Super happy and proud of you!!
my old friend Gabor .my old friend Gabor ...the real is our own experience, and to get there, from a perspective of the western civilization is very difficult....almost unknown for the majority sleeping Your video came to me as a surprise so great full...I feel your words so rewarding especially because your experience there with the Shipivos and their medicine came to you too...you looks so peaceful 'n content that all what it comes to my heart for you and your family are parabienes ....never too late..iam 68 and would like to go back
We have travelled many roads and I have always wanted to ask who is taking care of you...? so happy you are. Said with loVe and appreciation for all your work
The feelings I get from this video are palpable. Pain. Sadness. The deep seated torture that can reside in the ego. We are constantly fighting the ego. It’s time to make peace with it...
Maizie H ...Best post of all! Your comments about ego are correct. Dr G had to lay his aside--humbling himself to fully become the inspiration he truly is😔
Gabor Maté is a voice that needs to be taken very seriously... reading his books have opened up doors I never imagined existed :) One only needs the willingness to come out of the Matrix.
I am happy to see this, particularly as the experience was recently had. My most fervent hope is that it facilitates relationship healing with Daniel and your other adult children. "Physician heal thyself" is seldom given the importance it deserves, but can we truly help others when we ourselves, are profoundly broken?
I was trafficked as a child. Horribly used and abused. In 1992 I met 2 Medicine Men from South Dakota who were running a Sweat Lodge and a all night tepee ceremony.

Have a great day folks!
The need to heal others is often an avoidance of healing yourself. The ego is also wrapped up in the need to talk. Silence and self reflection take great strength.
Wooow okayyyyy ❤️

Humanity needs people like Gabor Mate!!!!!
"THE VALUE IS IN THE EXPERIENCE OF ONESELF" - That was DEEP!

May your healing lift the world.
Thank you, Gabor. You have changed my life a lot.
I second this. Thank you Gabor. 10 years-ish now since you became a profound resource for me.
I'm sure he would add You Changed your own life too.
Dr. Gabor Mate is amazing, such insight of human nature. Spinoza a 17th century philosopher understood human nature in respect to the mind and his/her emotions. I have learned that pain and suffering is caused by confused thinking and the belief in freewill and free-choice is an illusion. As Dr. Mate explains that we are traumatized early, we carry this throughout our lives, where is the freewill in this? Strength is improving our understanding, knowing oneself. WayofSpinoza.com
Mine as well more than any other
"The value is in the experience of oneself....." yes.
The true lesson of ayahuasca in its proper context is that NATURE HEALS. That's why it ought to be used only in the place where it grows--the rainforests of Amazonia. The egos of modern people are so blocked from Nature's wonders that they really need to experience ayahuasca in the forest with indigenous guides. Those guides never separated themselves from Nature. They have what we don't have or if we have it we need to become aware of it. Nature is there to teach us as it taught our ancestors over thousands of generations, before we divorced ourselves from Her with too much of the wrong sort of rationalism.
Always interested in anything that Dr Mate' has to say. He, like his son Aaron, has a brilliant clear and honest mind. Thanks Dr Mate'.
Or maybe, Aaron, like his father Gabor, has a brilliant, clear and honest mind. My heart cries and sings with you both and all who have the experience and knowledge he shares with us here. "Working" through the pain is not an understatement. It takes commitment, integrity and courage. Even if you have to start the process alone, you will be guided to those who can help you learn how to reconnect with yourself. I'm really grateful Dr. Mate was able to spend his time at the Temple of the Way of Light before COVID but you don't need to travel or have money to find this kind of healing, and we all need it. Check out his many other videos on how to begin. I am just so thankful that I, and so many others have not had to wait for him to have a complete experiential understanding for his own work to have changed our lives and how we think about our relationships with ourselves and with others. There is no official starting or ending place. It starts wherever you find yourself, and it continues wherever you find yourself and there is no end, until there is, and maybe not even then.
Thank you Dr. Gabor Maté for the beautiful insight into your experience at the Temple.
You're evidently inspired that morning and I wish that this emotional presence will accompany you in your life and in the amazing work that you've been doing all these years.
It is such a joy to see again the maestro and maestras that were there for me, guiding me during those long magical nights at the maloca.
Respect and love to all of you.
I am so so happy for you. Blessings to you Mr Maté
*Doctor
I could listen to you all day
Dr. M.
I love GB. If any of you haven’t seen his TH-cam interview with Russell Brand, I suggest it. Couple of very intelligent people, having a wonderful conversation.
Ditto. Gabor you have brought incredible insight and enlightenment through your Hungry Realms... book. Thank you. It’s a joy to see you have this experience!
I am so happy to hear of your profound experience. You look different. Wishing you so much peace, Dr. Mate. You have given so much to the world, to people, and it seems that you have had an experience that equals the caring and healing of others that you have given to so many.
You are so amazing Dr. Gabor, I am so excited and will one day come to the Temple to do my own work with you as my guide. Thank you for what you do to help all of us.

Gabor, I'm so very happy for you. I've seen much of you, mostly on TH-cam videos, but a great many of them. Never before, to me, have you looked and seemed more RELAXED and humble. This message, as always, resonates very much with me. Thanks for sharing this.
Beautiful. Thank you. Emotional, spiritual, physical, energetic. Who we are being. Broadcast a healing possibility.
i could lose myself in these eyes... i see my father. thank you for this message!
and so humble
I trust and respect you Dr Mate ... thank you for this video!
When the student is ready the teacher will be there 💜
Ever since I discovered you, dear Dr Mate, I resonate with the profoundness of your message, but then when I knew you used Ayahuasca to heal I considered you a true teacher of teachers. Listening to you today, talking with this openess of heart, I know you are a brother to those who are lucky enough to be touched by your words
Awww...75 yrs old!...& the damage inside....deserve peace”.....(ditto, 65 & still struggling w the damage and seeking peace )...
Gabor!...there is No one above you (human)...u sooo Describe us “damaged” from childhood....there actually r no words to describe the Guru human leader u r....& this video Rocks!...😘😘💪😇💖😇
Dr Mate your videos about trauma and addiction have been very helpful you are a very good professional I wish you well
Love you Gabor and hope to have you on the show sometime soon
Well done Gabor. You often talk about your own imperfections when you speak publicly but I've never heard you talk about the love of your own humanity. So beautiful to hear your experience and so amazing that you're leading again, as ever, but now from your heartfelt core. Thank you for being the example.

My goodness Brother Gabor, what you have just shared is truly heart warming, inspiring and so utterly profound! You have touched on so many keep points that are critical in order for one to be truly free and at peace of ones unresolved and unmet needs.
I too have found through two 12 day visits at The Temple of the Way of Light that upon returning home that a continued question I need to ask myself is " Am I in alignment with my intentions? Am I walking that talk?"
And further as you do beautifully spoke about, if not, what am I going to do to clean that up?
Wishing you so much peace, healing, expansion on your path to your most gloriousness!🙏🏼❤️🦋🌹
You, Alan, so well expressed as to be evocative. Thank you.
Dr. Gabor Mate is amazing, such insight of human nature. Spinoza a 17th century philosopher understood human nature in respect to the mind and his/her emotions. I have learned that pain and suffering is caused by confused thinking and the belief in freewill and free-choice is an illusion. As Dr. Mate explains that we are traumatized early, we carry this throughout our lives, where is the freewill in this? Strength is improving our understanding, knowing oneself. WayofSpinoza.com
Thank you. All your content is making a world of difference in my life.
Thank you Gabor. This is profoundly validating.
God Bless you! You beautiful human being Gabor 🙏
& thank you for your wisdom...😊

Thank you Temple, and thank you Dr Mate for opening up your personal experience. There is always something to be learned from listening to you. I admire what you have achieved in the world immensely. And yes, you do deserve peace.
Been following this guy for years, I love Dr. Gabor Mate
I’m planning on going to the temple in February. Dr. Mate was part of the reason I turned to ayahuasca for emotional healing and that was one of the best decisions of my life. I want the authentic experience to release the things I haven’t yet been able to release yet. I’m so grateful to you and the temple for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
Grace Chan please can you tell me if this plant can help me with depression and anxiety? A Dr put me on antidepressants and I’ve got to do therapy 🙏
Oh how exciting! All the best on your journey there. I have nothing but positive things to say about ayahuasca and The Temple of the Way of Light. I did two 12 day retreats there.
Now, go and soar.
@@joelmasantos879 a slow reply but yes, it helped me recover from my anxiety and depression. I don’t know how I could have handled the pandemic lockdowns if I had to carry my old anxiety.
Thank you Gabor!!! I finished my second ayahausca retreat a month or 2 ago, it was extremely powerful and I healed so much! I was told by the other participants that I helped them a lot which surprised me! I've been processing the experience daily! Your experience (thank you) helped me understand so much more about what I've been trying to grasp about my experience! Thank you so much!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. ❤️
I found something in here. Yes. What a wonderous revelation after all this work. Cheers, that's damn good on you at 75 brother, I hope more and more of us can get there in coming times and this helps something fierce, so thank you Gabor Mate!
Gabor is such a wise spirit and I love listening to him share his journey with aya. I would love to visit the temple and add this experience to my own practice ... If working with aya is not accessible for you I would highly recommend developing your own spiritual and meditation practice .. immerse yourself in it and attend retreats. Meditation and yoga have literally saved my life.. it has helped with my depression and anxiety and also has allowed me to connect more deeply with people.. especially Insight Dialogue meditation. What he has said here resonates with what I have experienced through mindfulness... may all beings live in peace..
Really appreciate you sharing your truth to others, it changes lives and most of all mindsets of who we are. Namaste 🙏
Glad for your healing, I have been following you.Much appreciation for your journey. Love your speaking and understanding of addiction.
Of course you were the one who needed to be led. All healers need to be led. Through our leadership we also heal, it's something else ... Thank you for being honest, Gabor, and thank you for offering this work, Temple of the way of Light.
I really like your review. I am thinking of going and have been thinking for quite a few years now so this is very good as a motivational video. Thank you.
Hi Susan. I hope this finds you well. That truly is a sign , thinking about going for years, that Aya is calling you. It is not a path for everyone but for those who resonate to plant intelligence, the yields, insights , are profound. I've only been to The Temple of the Way of Light and both 12 day retreats were jaw dropping brilliant on so many levels! I wouldn't have one complaint. You are so well taken care of , again on all levels. Most importantly, you need to feel safe and I always did
If you are going alone and concerned being a female, all I can say is, honor that concern, but you'll be very fine. Book your flight, local flights too {separately though}. Make a reservation before hand so you'll be picked up upon arrival at the airport and taken to your hotel. The retreat will handle picking you up and all the transfers. You'll be well taken care of.
Please dont hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Wishing you well
I want to but I am scared
A heartfelt inspiration at this delicate and precious time for all, oodles of respect, gratitude and love to you Gabor and especially to the Temple of the Way of Light for the offerings, service and process to guide us forth

That's exactly what I thought at the beginning.......that you DESERVE this. I'm so happy for you. You are a gem to so many. You are so appreciated and cherished by those you have touched with your gifts. May you continue to heal, Gabor.
Hallelujah, congratulations and I'm really happy for you! Aya said to me, Oh you want to help others, better learn to love all of yourself first otherwise you can't. It took me a bit to figure it out in an unconditional way but once I found it, that was it. Is like everything now is transforming before my eyes. Hard to believe that something that simple can be so hard to understand and do. Amazing!
Thank you, Gabor! Your profound and deeply insightful perspective on your experience is a guiding light for me :)
It takes a lot of courage and trust to take part in the ceremonies. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough but you certainly are. I feel so happy that you made such significant discoveries in the process.
I am so incredibly happy for him. Been listening to him for a long time.....well deserved Doc!! Love you to LIFE!!
So much appreciation to you for sharing Dr. Mate!
Gabor is inspiring
Love this. It was an earlier interview with Dr. Maté that gave me the courage to go here in 2015, and also meeting him at a book signing and talking about it. It took me 25 years to decide to go. It was worth it. I felt safe here, and need to go back for more work.
May we all be peacefully at ease. 🙏 Namaste.
I hope that part of your healing is finding joy! Thanks for all the insights that you have inspired.
I have learned from my experience being a caregiver for my son, and suffering genetically with him, that the caregiver can overlook their own needs and it is of the utmost importance to address this!! Super happy and proud of you!!
Thank you for sharing with us Gabor. Your books have been a great help to me. I hope one day to take part in ceremony.
my old friend Gabor .my old friend Gabor ...the real is our own experience, and to get there, from a perspective of the western civilization is very difficult....almost unknown for the majority sleeping
Your video came to me as a surprise so great full...I feel your words so rewarding especially because your experience there with the Shipivos and their medicine came to you too...you looks so peaceful 'n content that all what it comes to my heart for you and your family are parabienes ....never too late..iam 68 and would like to go back
It’s nice to see that Gabor Mate himself has issues😉 U R 1 of a kind! Don’t think of leaving us jet 💗
Much love and respect.
Right!
And Dr Gabor Mate's son is an excellent journalist
You look different , at peace in light , so beautiful Dr.Garbo Thank you !! True Transformation for All !!! 🦋 a greatful 💗
We have travelled many roads and I have always wanted to ask who is taking care of you...? so happy you are. Said with loVe and appreciation for all your work
Thank you Gabor.
Medice, cura te ipsum- such a vulnerable and beautiful share, thank you so much.
Good to see you give yourself that attention.
And now you add enormous value on top of all you are already contributing.
The feelings I get from this video are palpable. Pain. Sadness. The deep seated torture that can reside in the ego. We are constantly fighting the ego. It’s time to make peace with it...
Maizie H ...Best post of all! Your comments about ego are correct. Dr G had to lay his aside--humbling himself to fully become the inspiration he truly is😔
It's true, the integrity is to our own selves!
Stay humble brother.
Thanks Gabor. Blessings.
Yeeehaa!!! so happy you finally got to feel the joy of joys.
Amazing. Thank you, Sir.
Gabor thank you , i always learn something listening to your talks ~
Thank you forsharing this experience
good for you Gabor!
Thank you,Sir.
Thanks for sharing, shared.
Gabor Maté is a voice that needs to be taken very seriously... reading his books have opened up doors I never imagined existed :) One only needs the willingness to come out of the Matrix.
Brilliant stuff gaber mate yet again. 100%
I am happy to see this, particularly as the experience was recently had. My most fervent hope is that it facilitates relationship healing with Daniel and your other adult children. "Physician heal thyself" is seldom given the importance it deserves, but can we truly help others when we ourselves, are profoundly broken?
We are not broken..just asleep. Blessings !
He looks more peaceful!
Great great insights .
Sounds like, “clean your own room”. Man, wonder where I’ve heard, read, that before? You rock, doctor.
I am so happy for you🙏
Beautiful soul.🙏
Thank you , thank you, thank you!
Tha is so much , a very raw share , and inspires me to go to this place .
Do it... it's amazing
