I celebrated my first Ayahuasca ceremonies in 2005, in the Peruvian Upper Amazon, with shamans from the Shipibo tribe.
This marked the beginning of an ongoing exploration in this infinitely abstract and complex field of medicine. Since 2005, I have returned to the jungle on numerous occasions to journey deeper into the realm of Ayahuasca (the Spirit Vine, Ancestral Vine, Vine of the Dead) and to practise the traditional Master Plant Diet for extended periods.
In October of 2020, I published Amazon Jungle Spirit, the story of my introduction to Amazonian plant spirit shamanism, Ayahuasca, and the traditional Master Plant Diet.
Many icaros on this site are from those 2005 ceremonies.
Amazon Jungle Spirit is available as a 300-page print book on amazon
