nurturing changemakers, social entrepreneurs, and courageous souls on their journey to healing and self-discovery
ABOUT AYATYST
Join us on a transformative journey where healing, self-discovery, and the sharing of profound wisdom are not just aspirations but tangible realities.
In a world undergoing a profound paradigm shift, the call for brave beings ready to evolve, connect, and speak from the depths of their hearts and souls has never been more crucial.
At AyaTyst, we aspire to be at the forefront of this conscious evolution, employing potent methods tailored to each participant's window of tolerance and nervous system.
Our approach is a harmonious blend of ancient indigenous cultures, wisdom traditions, modern neuroscience, and cutting-edge embodiment practices. These wisdom traditions serve as a roadmap, offering practical applications for various aspects of life.
AyaTyst operates with a trauma-informed ethos, placing safety, slowness, and healing at the core of our practices. Our intimate groups ensure that every participant is seen, fostering an environment where safety is established on both individual and collective levels.
It is within this secure space that transformative and transcendental experiences unfold, guided by master plants such as the revered Noya Rao and the ancestral wisdom of Shipibo shamanic traditions.
In these transcendental experiences, Ayatyst serves as a guide, supporting participants in cultivating healthy discipline and daily practices that align with becoming the medicine of the New Earth.
AyaTyst is dedicated to nurturing changemakers, social entrepreneurs, and courageous souls on their journey to healing, self-discovery, and the expression of their unique voices—voices that carry wisdom for the betterment of all relations.
My journey encompasses a diverse range of studies, including shamanism, tantra, self-inquiry, bodywork, transpersonal psychology, yoga, trauma, somatic practices, coaching, hypnotherapy, and more.
Since 2001, I've been coaching, embarking on deep inner journeys, and offering bodywork sessions. In 2016, I founded The Wildman, supporting hundreds of men in embodying their true selves and claiming their sexuality.
Co-founding Tantric Sexology Education in 2021, I later found my calling to fully dedicate myself to the shamanic path in 2023.
My passion lies in exploring esoteric wisdom and bridging it with scientific studies, acknowledging the conservatism of science in certain topics. With experiences from countless workshops, retreats, and self-study hours, I strive to simplify teachings, making them practical and accessible for both myself and others.
AyaTyst provides a space where I can share knowledge, models, and experiences in a safe and transformative container.
Mistakes, I believe, hold the potential for valuable learning. My path is adorned with humbling mistakes, each transforming into a valuable lesson that extends beyond what books or workshops alone can offer.
Embracing the wisdom of good teachers and learning from their mistakes, I foster an environment within AyaTyst where healing, collaboration, and the sharing of unique gifts and experiences thrive.
These diverse embodied experiences and a range of tools and practices form the foundation for providing a secure and transformative trauma-informed medicine experience.
I firmly believe in delving into the intricacies of the human psyche, trauma, and the nervous system, approaching it both from a shamanic perspective and through the lens of Western scientific worldview.
Having undergone extensive training under Shipibo maestros and engaging in numerous master-plant dietas in the jungles of Peru, I've dedicated years to embodying these profound experiences. My commitment is evident in my role as a Trauma-Informed Shamanic Practitioner and Integration Coach.
Safety is essential to me, and I prioritise it by personally interviewing each participant about their intentions and background before any retreat. I strive to impart my medicine and trauma-informed knowledge in a grounded manner, empowering each participant to foster sovereignty and resilience throughout the entire sacred ceremony journey.
Above all, my journey has been about having the courage to listen and embody the wisdom given to me by master plants, especially Noya Rao.
The sacred ceremonies I offer stem from a deep devotion and a desire to share the profound wisdom and healing power of Noya Rao with anyone seeking it.
Hello, I'm Pål! I love compassionate truth and have been a deep diver into my consciousness for the past 27 years.
My exploration has led me through various coaching & somatic healing modalities, embodiment practices, tantric arts, and shamanistic traditions.
I welcome you to join me on this transformative journey at AyaTyst.
Recognising the sacred nature of plant medicine, master plants, and dietas, I emphasise the importance of thorough preparation, a lesson learned from my initial Grandmother ceremony in 2013.
A trauma-informed approach is at the core of my practices. I've undergone Trauma Informed Medicine Practitioner Training and Integration training to create the safest and most potent space possible.
My guidance incorporates somatic experiences, NLP, The Journey, and bodywork sessions since 2001.
Staying current with the latest knowledge and surrounding myself with peers who deepen my practices is an ongoing commitment.
Having witnessed the tendency to perceive the ceremony as the sole arena for transformative work, I emphasise the significance of integration. Post-ceremony, the real work begins.
My background in tantra informs my understanding of utilising sexual energy after ceremonies and dietas, and I encourage participants to do the same.
Living and embodying the teachings of master plants in everyday life is fundamental, acknowledging that we are the medicine.
My shamanic education in Peru has been instrumental, involving extensive plant dietas and profound healing experiences with Shipibo shamans.
Noya Rao, in particular, has emerged as my primary teacher, guiding me to the heart and instilling the courage to slow down and trust in love.
From a young age, I've dedicated myself to the journey of healing. In 2022/2023, I ventured into the jungles of Peru for a transformative dieta with Noya Rao, following a single plant medicine experience with my partner, Pål.
Despite the challenges, this profound journey with Noya Rao revealed the depths of my core patterns, allowing me to reclaim my past and heal from traumas. The experience emphasized the significance of a trauma-informed approach and the invaluable support that accompanies ceremonies. Drawing from this insight, I strive to ensure that participants in ceremonies feel seen and have the space to seek support.

I have been initiated by Grandfather Fire and I work in harmony with the wisdom and guidance of my ancestral team. Born into Norwegian lineage, I have experienced many openings in consciousness throughout my lifetime.
Always drawn to explore the edges of my being, my journey started with the practices of communication, sexuality, and relating. Later, I was called to practice meditation, yoga and tantra. Having practised tantric arts for a decade, I have now been journeying in several tantric lineages.
The support of my brothers throughout my journey has been key, and one of my passions is the depth of men’s work. The practice of Yoga and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is fundamental, and I love a long hike in the mountains and a walk with my dog.
I am passionate about our natural world, with a deep interest in trees, plants, fungi and animals. I’m a certified advanced Kambo Practitioner with IAKP, with origins from the Amazonian Matses linage.

"I was fortunate enough to be in a Sacred Ceremony
held by Pål in 2023.
Throughout the whole experience, I felt safe and secure.
Pål's way of leading the ceremony is excellent.
The trauma-informed approach with a Questionnaire, zoom-talk and other preparations in advance were great.
This focus is a very important but often overlooked process.
The integration afterwards makes this a massive step towards how this has to be done, where there is a chance to be recognized as what it is; a great gift with the potential to help many people overcome traumas and live richer and more fulfilling and emphatic lives.
As far as I know, this will be the best alternative for most people if you consider attending a Sacred Ceremony in Norway."
"A truly magical and transformative weekend. Everything was intuitively and flexibly created.
A perfect mix of different activities and a perfect balance between the activities. The ceremony preparation was fantastic. The food was really good.
Pål and Marijke created a natural, humble, safe and loving space for us all to land and be in. The love and deep relaxation was incredible. I am so GRATEFUL that I could participate.
I bring with me more clarity, insights and new motivation, which is now supporting me in taking new and bigger steps in my process, on my path home to myself.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Dear Paal, I have had the most fantastic and creative week of my life since last weekend. Everything is blooming, and people behave differently towards me, especially the closest ones. They are softer, and there are fewer confrontations.
I have new visions for my new law firm, and today, I wrote a new introduction on the webpage. A text that I have used months to formulate. People (customers and collaboration partners) are naturally attracted to my firm.
I have unlimited energy, am effective, and get things done immediately.
My mind is clear and sharp, and I do tasks I didn't manage to do before. My addictions and temptations have disappeared."
What a wonderful experience!
Pål is a masterful ceremony leader. He has a lightness about him that makes being in his presence a pure joy. He invites humor and creates a safe space for the participants to shine their light and share their gifts with the world. I had a wonderful experience attending one of his weekend retreats. I especially appreciated the touch of luxury; delicious, healthy meals, and my own soft mattress that was my ceremony space. These things may seem small, but for me, they made me feel safe and nurtured. I give Pål my warmest recommendations!
Thank you, shaman!
“I have participated in a sacred ceremony retreat with Pål, and I find his approach very sincere and caring.
I got to know him and was able to work with my intention a long time before the ceremony. Pål created an open and safe space for the participants to get to know each other before the ceremonies.
The retreat was deep, and it was challenging to say goodbye to the new friends. It impacted me to see some opening up for something that has been forgotten, maybe their whole life. I have participated in many retreats, and this one was exceptional, and I can heartfully recommend participation.
"I had the pleasure to experience Paal in both a group and individual session setting, and when I think back to those times , the quality that emerges is that of deep humility. Paal is one of the most humble men I have every met, and that humility brings a softness which is full of potency and power......... I believe he would never have to convince anyone of his power, as it is so boldly obvious that it is there, smouldering beneath the surface of this beautiful man.
I was going through an extremely intense transformation, and I literally fell apart and destroyed his room......and he held the space for this with unwavering presence, integrity, and again, humility. I felt so honored by him, and held by him, and it was incredibly healing to receive this from a man. It was a gift, and one I feel that he gives freely to all..."
